Holder of agreement

Hallo,

does the expression "holder of this agreement" sound ok?

Thank you!
  

Top answer

Hi, No, it doesn't. An agreement requires at least two people. They don't 'hold' the agreement.

Hi,

If there was a tender, pehaps you mean a contract rather than an agreement?

Could also be a contract, does it make any difference? I thought these two terms are similar in their meaning and use.

Hi,

Well, like I said, it's not natural to say that someone holds an agreement.
