I am not so sure about this. 

There are many business plans which require the operations to be set
up before going to get the 'peering' arrangements done. In these
cases, who to multihome/BGP-peer with has not been decided, even
though it is in the plans to do so as soon as possible.

In addition, there are certain peers who do not require any contract
or signed document.
