innominate contract (or) contract without consideration


Explanation:
contrato; contract
inoponible? no existe en espanol.
Creo que lo que quieren decir es que no tiene valor asi que yo usaria lo siguiente:
contrato sin causa : nude contract, nudum pactum, contract without consideration.
O quizas sea:
contrato innominado: special contract or one not specifically provided by law, innominate contract
Espero que esto le ayude

Explanation:
See my previous answer for the bibliography. My learned colleague, who posted his or her comments here above ("inoponible no existe en espanol") should look very closely at his or her sources.

"Inoponible" does exist in Spanish; just because Collins or Oxford, etc. don't show an entry does not mean it does not exist.

a null-and-void contract


Explanation:
In Anglo-Saxon law, we also speak of a null-and-void contract. So, this is another term you can use; however, non-enforceable contract would be the better choice.

non-binding OR non-enforceable OR unenforceable contract


Explanation:
OR frustrated contract (Common law)
----------------------------------
oponible / inoponible

oponible = enforceable
inoponible = unenforceable
---------------------------------
contrato inoponible = frustrated contract (ie. impossible to perform)

A contract is an agreement giving rise to legally enforceable obligations binding the parties to it. In this case, it is non-binding (NOT giving rise to enforceable obligations).

SEE FOLLOWING CONTEXTS:
... entonces la disposición inválida o inoponible será reemplazada por una disposición válida, que se pueda hacer cumplir y respetar, y que concuerde con la intención de la disposición original.

...con lo cual la causal invocada devendría extemporánea e inoponible.

....De esta forma, los diversos controles económicos y fiscales hacen inoponible ante quienes lo administran, la no divulgación de una información en el secreto profesional.

“Al derecho internacional le es indiferente que esa obligación se cumpla por vía administrativa, judicial, o del Poder Legislativo, de la misma manera que la división de poderes sería inoponible a la comunidad como...

(ver como anulable lo que es inoponible)

... La locación convenida con posterioridad a la constitución de la hipoteca será inoponible a quienes adquieran derechos sobre la letra o sus cupones.

ETC. ETC.
