Distinguish between conditions and covenants

What will be an ideal response?


A covenant is an unconditional promise to perform. Nonperformance of a covenant is a breach of contract that gives the other party the right to sue. Some contract provisions are conditions rather than covenants. A conditional promise (or qualified promise) is not as definite as a covenant. The promisor's duty to perform or not perform arises only if the condition does or does not occur. It becomes a covenant if the condition is met.
