A breach of contract in legal terms amounts to a broken promise to do or not do an act. Breaches of a contract are single, occurring at a single point in time, or continuing breaches. A lawsuit for breach of contract is a civil action and the remedies awarded are designed to place the injured party in the position they would be in if not for the breach

A breach of contract means that one has broken his or her contract. This may be a legal form of breaking rules or obligations, a social form, or even a private form. For example, if one fails to comply with rules that he or she agreed to, and/or signed up to, then he or she has breaches his or her contract. Breach of contract is considered a felony, and will get someone in a lot of trouble.
