    An engagement by one person to another, either in words or inwriting, but properly not under seal, for the performance ornonperformance of some particular thing. The word promise is used todenote the mere engagement of a person, without regard to theconsideration for it, or the corresponding duty of the party to whomit is made. Chitty. Parsons. Burrill.

            a promise is something you'd use to see if you can trust a person, ppl who say things like promises are meant to be broken are ppl who have never met somewun that they actually trust.

                An empty commitment made by a corporation for marketing purposes. Unlike a warranty or a guarantee, a promise is unenforceable, giving customers zero recourse value. Because a promise takes power away from consumers, many corporations are switching from guarantees to promises. This allows them to make bolder statements without the risk of being held accountable.
