The contract between Nia and Bruno is express because its terms are clearly stated in writing. It is bilateral because it involves a mutual exchange of promises (Nia pays for the training sessions, and Bruno provides the training). It is executory because the obligations under the contract (the dog training sessions) have not yet been fully performed by both parties. Similarly, the contract between Bertrand and Lowell is express (terms are clearly communicated), bilateral (mutual exchange of promises), and executory (work and payment are to be completed over time).
