 A <fs xx-large>Claim</fs> is a person's [[Moral Right|moral right]] to use, consume or otherwise possess a thing. While there are many types of claims (financial, legal, etc.), the only one relevant to //me// and how I live //my// life is the moral one. A claim can be established by three things: Need, emotional desire and fairness. The first two concepts describe the two kinds of motivations that can lead a person to want a thing, [[Intrinsic value]] and [[Extrinsic value]], while the third one is an auxiliary dictated by a moral system. A <fs xx-large>Claim</fs> is a person's [[Moral Right|moral right]] to use, consume or otherwise possess a thing.

 At any point in time, a person can [[consent]] to forfeit, fully or partially, their claim on a thing. Important: The consent part - every affected party must be aware of and consenting to such a [[Moral Contract]]. Renouncing a claim, for example when gifting a relative money, may or may not come with conditions or restrictions (for example: "I gift you 500 bucks, but I want you to invest it into your college tuition"). At this point the gifting person is renouncing their claim on the money, but only on the condition that the beneficiary use it for their tuition payments. Using it for something else would break the moral contract and therefore be //immoral// (unless a priority claim can be substantiated that justifies using the money for something else - an immediate need, for example). At any point in time, a person can [[consent]] to forfeit, fully or partially, their claim on a thing.

 Many of these moral contracts involve some implicit social expectations. The person forfeiting a claim is often thought of not //completely// giving up that claim. There is always a slight expectation, though not always explicitly stated, that they can recall the moral contract. People may view this more or less "wrong" depending on the circumstances, but the point is that these moral contracts agreed upon between people are often more involved than what is explicitly communicated, founded on an underlying foundation of morals most people assume to be in common agreement with and not necessary to state explicitly. For example, taking back a gift because they found out that they ended up needing it ("it", for example money) more. While the beneficiary may feel bad about it, they will, at least to a degree, usually respect the claim the gifting person has on that money. Many of these moral contracts involve some implicit social expectations.
