yikes That's why I always refuse lists of words these days, as they can be horribly difficult, and yet some clients still think they can get away with paying you by the word. Anyway, good luck!
Eliezer Birnbaum (asker) May 16, 2018:
Correct, it just fell out of the air in the form of a horribly long list of words in an Excel sheet
philgoddard May 16, 2018:
That's funny.
Michael Beijer May 16, 2018:
ha ha Absolutely none at all? You mean the word just fell out of thin air and onto your desk? ;-)

"An aleatory contract is a contract where an uncertain event determines the parties' rights and obligations. For example, gambling, wagering, or betting typically use aleatory contracts. Additionally, another very common type of aleatory contract is an insurance policy.

The term was a classification developed in later medieval Roman law to cover all contracts whose fulfilment depended on chance, including gambling, insurance, speculative investment and life annuities. Many modern forms of derivatives and options may in some cases also be considered aleatory contracts. For example, the French civil code contains a chapter on aleatory contracts, with specific provisions for gaming (gambling) and life annuities."

In an aleatory contract type, the parties involved do not have to perform a particular action until a specific event occurs. Events are those which cannot be controlled by either party, such as natural disasters and death. Aleatory contracts are commonly used in insurance policies."

GARNER'S DICTIONARY OF LEGAL USAGE:

ALEATORY; FORTUITOUS ; STOCHASTIC

These words have similar but distinct meanings. The first two are especially close, meaning “depending wholly on chance.” Aleatory derives from the Latin word for the game of dice: alea jacta est (= the die is cast). Fortuitous, meanwhile, carries the suggestion of an accident, usually but not always a happy one. (See fortuitous.) As it happens, aleatory usually refers to present descriptions or future events that depend on uncertain contingencies—e.g.:

• “The better rule, this court feels, is to respect the aleatory nature of the settlement process and to hold both the plaintiff and settling defendant to their gamble.”Doyle v. U.S., 441 F.Supp. 701, 711 n.5 (D.S.C. 1977).

• “The 2001 consent judgment in this case is an ALEATORY CONTRACT, which simply means it depended upon the uncertain act, i.e., the future purchase of the property by one of the heirs.”Peeler v. Dural, 958 So.2d 31, 35 (La. Ct. App. 2007).

Fortuitous, meaning “accidental, occurring by chance,” typically refers to past events <how fortuitous that the snowstorm shut down the city on the very day my cousin wanted me to stay home from work>. Stochastic, the most rarefied of these words, means “random”; it is fairly common in the writing of economic analysts and statisticians. See fortuitous. Cf. adventitious.

KANSCONTRACTEN

DEFINITIE

Een kanscontract is een wederkerige overeenkomst, waarvan de gevolgen, met betrekking tot winst en verlies, hetzij voor alle partijen, hetzij voor een of meer van hen, van een onzekere gebeurtenis afhangen (art. 1964 B.W.). Partijen weten dus bij het sluiten van een kanscontract niet of ze er voordeel of nadeel uit zullen halen.
De voornaamste kanscontracten zijn:
Het contract van lijfrente
Het verzekeringscontract
Spel en weddenschap

LIJFRENTE

Lijfrente is een overeenkomst op grond waarvan een bepaalde persoon recht heeft op periodieke betalingen tot zijn dood of van een derde. Het is dus een contract waarbij de ene partij (de renteschuldenaar) er zich toe verbindt om aan een andere partij (de renteheffer), een rente uit te keren in ruil voor een bepaald kapitaal of voor bepaalde goederen (zoals vaak onroerende goederen) die de renteheffer niet zal terugeisen.
Lijfrente kan uitgekeerd worden tot de dood van de renteheffer of tot de dood van een derde die op het genot van de lijfrente geen recht heeft (art. 1971 B.W.). De renteplichtige kan zich van de uitkering van de rente niet bevrijden, door de teruggave van het kapitaal of de ontvangen goederen aan te bieden (art. 1979 B.W.)

VERZEKERINGSCONTRACT

Het verzekeringscontract is een overeenkomst waarbij de ene partij (de verzekeraar) er zich toe verbindt om tegen betaling van een premie door de andere partij (de verzekerde), deze het verzekerd risico te vergoeden (bvb. in geval van ongeval, brand, diefstal etc.).
Het verzekeringscontract wordt geregeld door de Wet op de landverzekeringsovereenkomst van 25 juni 1992.
