promisor is the person who promises to provide his services.

Promisee is the person to whom he is making promise.

for eg. :

x promises y to complete his homework for consideration of worth rs.100.

now x-promisor,

and y-promisee.

y gives x rs.100, hence a sort of loss suffered by y.(promisee)

x receivees rs. 100, hence gain enjoyed by x (promisor)
