False. A contract and a covenant are not the same thing and cannot be used interchangeably.
A **contract** is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties that outlines specific obligations and rights. Contracts are enforceable by law and typically involve consideration (something of value exchanged).
A **covenant**, on the other hand, is often seen in legal contexts, such as property law or religious contexts. It refers to a formal agreement or promise, typically one that imposes certain restrictions or duties on one or more parties. Covenants can exist independently of contracts, and while they can be part of a contract, they do not always have the same legal implications or enforceability.
In summary, while they may share some similarities, they have distinct meanings and applications in legal contexts.
