The term preliminary agreement/contract may be somewhat tricky. A good article on the subject from Harvard Law Review:

2 Stuart Well, good point, but I have not noted that just this rule is strictly observed. Individual suggestions, their strengths and weaknesses (if any) are frequently, if not usually, discussed also through discussion or entries in alternative proposals. I am of the opinion that if such a discussion is focused on the subject matter, it is useful for all parties involved. Actually, I got very valuable opinions and evalutations related to my proposals just through discussion, leaving comments only under a proposal is somehow limited (proposal-comment-answerr, and that's all)

Vladimir No quarrel! It’s just that if you write “agreement on future agreement (contract) anglosaské právo nepozná”, that is quite manifestly a comment on my answer, and as such should be made as a peer comment, as this gives me a chance to respond (see KudoZ rule 3.4). I’m sure I’m breaking a rule myself by posting this discussion entry!
