Explanation

An MOU/MOA is a non-binding (or semi-binding) agreement between two or more parties that documents their mutual intentions and outlines the terms of their working relationship or cooperation. Unlike a contract, it is not necessarily legally enforceable and does not typically carry the formal obligations of a service contract. The other options describe contracts or service-level agreements (like those used with cloud providers), which are legally binding instruments - a fundamentally different type of document from an MOU/MOA.
