Trespass
Is made up of three separate groups; trespass to land, trespass to the person and trespass to chattels. Trespass to land is generally the tort most commonly associated with the term. It takes the form of wrongful interference with another’s possessory rights in real property. Trespass to the person can be an assault (any act of such a nature as to excite the apprehension of battery); battery (any intentional and unpermitted contact with a person) and false imprisonment (the unlawful obstruction or deprivation of freedom of movement). Trespass to chattels is an intentional interference with the possession of personal property. Legal dictionary

Gentleman’s agreement
An informal and legally non-binding agreement between two or more parties. It is typically made orally, though it may be written, or simply understood as part of an unspoken agreement by convention or through mutually beneficial etiquette. The essence of a gentleman’s agreement is that it relies upon the honour of the parties for its fulfilment, rather than in any way being enforceable. It is, therefore, distinct from a legal agreement or contract, which can be enforced if necessary. Legal dictionary

Exclusion clause
Is a clause in a contract stating that a party is not liable for what would otherwise be a breach, or that his liability for that particular breach is limited. A true exclusion clause recognises a potential breach of contract and then excludes liability for it. Alternatively, the liability for the breach may be limited to a certain amount, or the claim for any loss as a result of a particular breach must be commenced within a certain period of time.
