Quizplus · Accepted Answer

MaryElise is the obligee in this contract. She is the party who is entitled to receive the service (having her yard mowed every week) from James, who is the obligor. An assignee or assignor would not be applicable in this scenario as there is no indication of any assignment of rights or duties to a third party.
