The contract also includes provisions for payment, which may be based on performance or other criteria.
  
  How to Use It: 
  When creating a contingent contract, the buyer and seller must agree on the terms of the contract. This includes the conditions that must be met by the vendor, as well as the payment terms. Once the contract is signed, it is binding and cannot be changed without both parties agreeing to do so. The buyer must then monitor the vendor's performance to ensure that they are meeting the conditions of the contract.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a contingent contract, it is important to ensure that all of the conditions are clearly stated in the contract. This will help to avoid any misunderstandings between the buyer and seller. Additionally, it is important to monitor the vendor's performance throughout the duration of the contract to ensure that they are meeting all of the conditions.
