if the rest wasn't enough, here it is spelled out:

Most of the onerous contracts are also categorized as reciprocal contracts.

There is such a thing in English but it does not fit the definition of a Contrato Onersoso in Spanish:

Definition of ONEROUS CONTRACT: When a contract's terms cost more to satisfy than the projected economic benefits, it may be described as onerous.

the contrato gratuito that Tom refers to is in English a:

gratuitous contract
noun

Full Definition of GRATUITOUS CONTRACT

:a contract for the sole benefit of one of the parties
Merriam-Webster

This is the exact definition given in Spanish as well

A Reciprocal Contract might involve considerations, but Oneroso doesn't mean a "consideration". It means reciprocity between the parties for benefit and obligation. The function might be described as mutual consideration, but I don't think what you're putting forward is fully correct as a translation of the term.

2. ONEROSOS Y GRATUITOS:



Teniendo en cuenta que todo contrato implica uno o varios valores económicos: dinero, servicios, bienes inmuebles, o inmuebles, bienes intangibles, etc. Se puede hablar de contrato oneroso o gratuito.
Oneroso: Se mira la utilidad de ambos contratantes, gravándose cada uno a beneficio del otro. El oneroso es un contrato conmutativo cuando cada una de las partes se obliga a hacer o dar una cosa que se mira como equivalente a lo que la otra parte debe hacer o dar a la vez.
Gratuito: Se mira sólo loa utilidad de una de las partes.
Es decir;




CONTRATO ONEROSO
Es cuando ambas partes reciben valores económicos, en este contrato se mediatiza el intercambio de intereses patrimoniales que se miran como equivalente (subjetivamente). Algunas figuras contractuales son necesariamente onerosas: el arrendamiento, el suministro y el seguro reportan utilidad económica para ambas partes.
Objetivo: la utilidad de ambos contratantes a beneficio del otro.

Note that onerous is about the reciprocity of benefit and obligation, hence the terminology in English.

Bilateral contracts and Reciprocal contracts are not the same, either in Spanish or English:

Bilateral Contract. An agreement formed by an exchange of a promise in which the promise of one party is consideration supporting the promise of the other

Reciprocal contract is a contract in which the parties enter into agreements mutually, or reciprocally thus making the obligation of one party correlative to the obligation of the other party

Contrato bilateral: es el acuerdo de voluntades que da nacimiento a obligaciones para ambas partes.

Contrato oneroso: es aquél en el que existen beneficios y gravámenes recíprocos, en éste hay un sacrificio equivalente que realizan las partes (equivalencia en las prestaciones recíprocas); por ejemplo, la compraventa, porque el vendedor recibe el provecho del precio y a la vez entrega la cosa, y viceversa, el comprador recibe el provecho de recibir la cosa y el gravamen de pagar.

The difference is that in Bilateral both parties make promises to each other, where as in Reciprocal they both have obligations they must fulfill, an admittedly fine parsing but such is law.

Not so fast, Traveling. It has various shades of meaning, I have looked it up and I am not amiss. You can fight with my friend Francisco J. Becerra (Dicc. de terminología jurídica mexicana) on this one, plus a good many others. Of course like in the case of "consideration" a contract must impose mutual obligations.

Pls. explain to us then why a contrato oneroso is always contrasted with a contrato gratuito or gracioso. Your comments are always well-supported by authority but - before you bow out - consider this quote: 'El contrato bilateral o *sinalagmático* es aquel contrato que genera obligaciones recíprocas para ambas partes contratantes.'

it is a "Reciprocal Contract", both parties must engage in mutual obligation

look up "contrato oneroso", it has a specific meaning

Es muy cierto lo que dice Tom, y sobre todo en materia jurídica, es imprescindible conocer tanto el origen como el destino. Hay que recordar que son muchos países y muchas leyes que usan nuestros idiomas.

It is unfair of you to omit the context, namely what the target of the option is for UK consumption: for instance > land (a registerable C(iv) estate contract for valuable consideration in conveyancing) vs commodities or futures, namely a call option agreement supported by valuable consideration.

One would think so, because purchase is by definition for consideration, plus it is a requirement for a contract to exist. But then we just translate what is there.

Isn't "oneroso" redundant? Surely a purchase is by definition for consideration.
