In nearly all countries any contract must be at "arms length". Otherwise you could do fancy things, for example regarding taxes. :-)

This is actually a reason why you can not, for example, enforce something that is given freely. E.g. I give you a contract where I promise you to give you my house for free. If I change later my mind, in many jurisdictions you could not force me to write over my house since there is not "arms length". It is something for nothing.
