Article 1258 of the Civil Code, which states that contracts are perfected by mere consent, and since then are binding, not only to comply with what is expressly agreed, but also to all the consequences that, according to their nature, are in accordance with good faith, and to the use and to the law.

Article 1278 of the same legal body is also applicable regarding the binding nature of contracts, whatever the form in which they were entered into.
