Explanation:
This term has a lot of possible translations, depending on your context. Letter of intent - I have never seen this but it could be correct and I'm going to add it to my personal glossary. Also this can be "recognizance" [a court situation], or a "term sheet" [international lending context]

Heads of Agreement


Explanation:
This is what it means: a non-binding document outlining the main issues relevant to a tentative partnership agreement. It is the draft used by lawyers when drawing up the contract. It serves as a guideline for both parties before any documents are legalized.
