Difference Between Pamphlet and Brochure
While a pamphlet is a non-commercial advertising tool, a brochure is a commercial one. In this sense, we use pamphlets to inform, but brochures to promote something.

It does not just target customers, but also resellers and sales teams. There are a number of terms, which are connected to the printing world, that you might encounter … [Read more...]
Difference Between Contract and Quasi Contract
While in a contract, the presence of agreement between the parties is a must. But the presence of an agreement is not necessary in the case of quasi-contract. A quasi-contract is legally imposed with an aim of preventing unjust enrichment. Due to this reason we call it a contract implied by law. We usually enter into contracts daily. Think of a situation when you go to a restaurant and order hot coffee, you enter into a contract. Likewise, when you order something online, then also you enter … [Read more...]

While both strict and absolute liability arises from keeping or bringing hazardous products or carrying out dangerous activities which may harm another person, even when precautions are taken.
