When Is a Contract Considered Void or Voidable? Under contract laws, the terms "void" and "voidable" contract may seem similar, but in reality they are very different from one another. The term "void" means that the contract is not currently valid, and the parties are not held to its terms. A void contract is basically unenforceable. The main difference between void and voidable contracts is that a void contract is invalid from the beginning, while a voidable contract is initially valid but may become void later at the option of one of the parties.
