Multi-party system -  a system in which multiple political parties have the capacity to gain control of government offices, separately or in coalition
The effective number of parties in a multi-party system is normally larger than two but lower than ten. In the vast majority of multi-party systems, numerous major and minor political parties hold a serious chance of receiving office, and because they all compete, a majority may not control the legislature, forcing the creation of a coalition

Two-Party system -  is a multi-party system where two major political parties dominate politics within a government. One of the two parties typically holds a majority in the legislature and is usually referred to as the majority party while the other is the minority party. The term has different senses. For example, in the United States, Jamaica, and Malta, the sense of two party system describes an arrangement in which all or nearly all elected officials only belong to one of the two major parties, and third parties rarely win any seats in the legislature.

Dominant-Party system - also known as one-party dominant system, is a multi-party system where there is a category of parties that have successively won election victories and whose future defeat cannot be envisaged or is unlikely for the foreseeable future. In dominant-party systems other political parties are tolerated, and (in democratic dominant-party systems) operate without overt legal impediment, but do not have a realistic chance of winning; the dominant party genuinely wins the votes of the vast majority of voters every time (or, in authoritarian systems, claims to).

Single-Party system - also known as one-party system, is a system in which a single political party has the right to form the government, usually based on the existing constitution. All other parties are either outlawed or allowed to take only a limited and controlled participation in elections. One-party states are usually dictatorships.

No-Party system - also known as a nonpartisan system, is a system where the elected or appointed officials aren't part of a political party and the government follows no ideology of any party.
No-Party systems can be democratic where people elect the representatives or vote laws themselves ratter than representatives, and dictatorial where the government forbid all parties or doesn't follow a certain political party.

Is this de facto or de jure?, because there are other political parties in the US.
