memorandum of intent

Read a random definition: body

A quick definition of memorandum of intent:

A memorandum of intent is a written statement that explains what two or more parties plan to do together. It is not a binding agreement, but rather a way to show that they are interested in working together. This document is often used before a contract is signed. It is important to note that a memorandum of intent does not stop the parties from talking to other people about the same thing. Sometimes, a court may decide that the parties made a promise in the memorandum of intent, even though it was not meant to be binding. Other names for a memorandum of intent include letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, term sheet, and commitment letter.

A more thorough explanation:

A memorandum of intent is a written statement that outlines the preliminary understanding of parties who plan to enter into a contract or some other agreement. It is a non-binding document that is created before a contract is finalized.

For example, if two companies are considering a merger, they may create a memorandum of intent to outline the terms of the potential agreement. This document would include details such as the proposed purchase price, the timeline for the merger, and any other important information.

It is important to note that a memorandum of intent is not a legally binding document. However, it can be used as a starting point for negotiations and can help to ensure that both parties are on the same page before entering into a formal contract.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
