agreement contract
Explanation:
Segundo o Vocabulário Jurídico de De Plácido e Silva, AVENÇA: exprime o contrato, o ajuste, a convenção. Outrora designava a convenção os contribuintes de impostos indiretos acordavam em pagar às autoridades pagadoras certa soma ou quantia fixada em razão do valor das vendas prováveis. Assim o imposto que se deveria pagar na base das vendas ou lucros obtidos era arrecadado pela estimativa estabelecida, não importando o valor real das vendas ou lucros.

Provision of Service Agreement


Explanation:
In my experience in Portugal, an avença is an agreement on prices, terms & condits. between a service provider and a public/private sector orgn. for services rendered. Avenças are commonly used in Portugal by businesses and, increasingly, the civil service to secure services (translaztion, legal, consulting, etc). In the case of the civ.service, a tendering/bidding procedure must precede the award of an avença to a service provider.

Explanation:
Dear Valentim:
I actually gave you the right answer!

The fact is that a Contract IS an Agreement, so "Agreement Contract" makes no sense at all! They are synonims!

If you look in the Michaelis dictionary you will see avenca translated as "settlement" and that is what it is!

disagree  Rui Freitas: Actually a settlement contract is something you sign to settle a dispute, pursuant to an arbitration proceeding for instance. Henley got it right in terms of meaning in my opinion and I would use his sugestion.
