Explanation
A voidable contract is valid and binding until one party elects to disaffirm it. The party with the right to avoid the contract can either enforce it or disaffirm it. Examples include: contracts with minors (the minor can disaffirm), contracts obtained through fraud or misrepresentation (the defrauded party can avoid it), and contracts entered under duress. Once disaffirmed, the contract is treated as void.
