Thank you for your quick response.
Based on the last email communication from her, she had agreeded that we each pay $5000 to settle our bills. Should I consider that a written agreement and pay based on that so that she cannot try to get me to pay for extraneaus charges and consider the "case" closed?
E-mail communications are pig gristle.

Agreement is the phenomenon in many languages in which words must take certain inflections depending on the company they keep. A simple case occurs with verbs in the third person singular form and their singular subjects: "Jane likes cheese" is correct, but * "Jane like cheese" and * "My dogs likes cheese" are not, because the subjects and verbs do not agree on the number feature. The name used in the lecture notes for the agreement feature is AGR. The possible values of the AGR feature are 1s, 2s, 3s, 1p, 2p, 3p, signifying 1st person singular, 2nd person singular, ..., 3rd person plural. Pronouns like "I" and "me" have AGR=1s, "you" has AGR={2s,2p} as it is not possible to distinguish singular from plural in this case, and so on. Definite noun phrases like "the green ball" have AGR=3s.

In ITSM terms, the use of the word 'agreement' rather than contract signifies less the legal differences between the two and more a difference in approach and style. 'Agreement' is used exclusively for an understanding, normally written, between internal parties (though it may be appended to and therefore form part of an external contract). An agreement is likely to register an aspiration for a particular service level whereas a contract will usually record the minimum service level permissible. The wording in a contract must represent its legally binding nature but the wording of an ITSM agreement reflects much more the nature of the (aimed for) relationship between the parties involved. See also Contract.
