12. A Brand Contract is a list of all promises the brand makes to customers. Such a contract is executed internally, but it is defined and validated externally by the marketplace.

13. Brand Contracts can and should change over time. New promises can be added, other promises can be updated, and irrelevant promises can be deleted.

14. A Brand Contract is a critical piece of the brand position because it helps to further define marketplace perceptions and expectations and forces managers to be honest with themselves.

15. In addition to positive promises to customers, a Brand Contract can contain negative promises or attributes. It is important to build on the strong brand promises and mitigate the negative ones.
