Genuine Assent

Genuine Assent is a complete agreement between two competent parties.  A party who demonstrates that he or she did not genuinely assent to the terms of a contract may void the contract.  Genuine assent may be lacking due to mistake, fraudulent misrepresentation, undue influence or duress.  Contracts lacking genuine assent are voidable, not void.
