Practice question

A signed document is called 'Service Contract,' but the parties establish that they never agreed on the service to be rendered and expressly reserved it for a new negotiation. A claimant relies only on the heading as proof of a completed contract for a particular service. Which answer is sound?
  1. The heading conclusively establishes every contractual requisite
  2. The claimant must establish the required meeting of minds and certain object; the document's label alone cannot supply them
  3. Every signed paper automatically defines an enforceable service
  4. The court must invent the service without regard to agreement
  5. No contract can ever concern services
