GR: Contracts take effect only between the parties or their assigns and heirs.
Res inter alios acta aliis neque nocet prodest - a thing done between others does not harm or
benefit others
A contract can only obligate the parties who entered into it, or their successors who assumed
their personalities, and that, concomitantly, a contract can neither favor nor prejudice third
persons.
