three person contract mutual obligations
<p>From my understanding of the contract law, I know that in a two person contract, there has to be a form of exchange, e.g. a promise of a future payment for a service being done.</p>
<p>If three people (A,B,C) sign a three person contract</p>
<ol>
<li>does every of them have to provide something to both remaining two?</li>
</ol>
<p>or</p>
<ol start="2">
<li>does every of them have to provide something to at least one from the remaining two?</li>
</ol>
<p>or</p>
<ol start="3">
<li>does every of them have to provide something to exactly one from the remaining two?</li>
</ol>
<p>or</p>
<ol start="4">
<li>does every of them have to provide something to at least zero from the remaining two?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<h2>Each party must provide <a href="https://www.australiancontractlaw.info/law/consideration" rel="nofollow noreferrer">consideration</a></h2>
<p>Who they provide it to is irrelevant - it might be one or more of the other parties or it could be someone not involved in the contract. For example, if you agree to pay me to fix your brother’s car then my consideration is flowing from me to your brother, not to you, but this is still a valid contract.</p>
