The '''First Contract''' was the legal code of the [[kandra]] as well as the metal plate on which it was inscribed. It served as a contract between the kandra people and the Lord Ruler, who they called the Father, and superseded any lesser service [[Contract]]. Members of the Second Generation believed the First Contract was nullified with the death of the Lord Ruler however [[TenSoon]], tried to make the argument that it had transferred to [[Vin]].{{book ref

The Resolution was a stipulation added by the Lord Ruler. It called upon the kandra to essentially commit suicide by removing their spikes if they felt Ruin attempting to seize control of them. {{annotation ref|hoa|chapter=20}}
Before a kandra can be executed by pouring acid on them, the First Contract requires that they get a chance to speak and defend him- or herself. They can then demand Judgment before the First Generation.{{book ref
The ChanGaar was a ritual punishment for those who broke the First Contract. The kandra would first be beaten and then bricked into a hole with only a small opening for food and water. After ten generations the kandra would be released and be subject to death by starvation.{{book ref
