There are actually 14 ways out of a contract without breach and without execution; you, however, ask for only 4. So, randomly picked:

* Infancy: A person cannot be bound by contract unless they are of legal age. In most states, that's 18 years old.

* Unconscionability: The terms of the contract shock the conscience of the court.

* Duress: A contract cannot be enforced if one of the parties is signing because of some outside pressure

* Incapacity: A person who is declared incapable of handling their own affairs by a court of law cannot enter into a contract.

Hope that helps. Enjoy your Contracts 101 final exam!
