So, having just had to sign an MOU for work today, I double checked the difference.
In general (and can be different depending on what it actually says)
An MOU is not legally binding, but just formalises an understanding.
A contract is legally binding.
However, an MOU can become legally binding if it meets certain conditions, and a contract can be written so that the service provided is not always available.
If you don't believe the second bit, check your broadband/mobile phone agreement which will say they'll provide a service unless they don't and if they don't, tough....
