Contracts entered by and between the parties mush

Example: Tina sold her parcel of land to Laura. It was
agreed that Maya, a real estate appraiser would be the one todetermine the reasonable price of the land.

ART. 1311. Contracts take effect only between the
parties, their assigns and heirs, except in case where
the rights and obligations arising from the contract are
not transmissible by their nature, or by stipulation, or
by provision of law. The heir is not liable beyond the
value of the property he perceived from the decedent.
If a contact should contain some stipulation in
favor of third person, he may demand its fulfillment
provided he communicated his acceptance to the
obligor before its revocation. A mere incidental benefitor interest of a person is not sufficient. The contracting
parties must have clearly and deliberately conferred a
favor upon a third person. (1257a)
