An express contract is a contract whose terms the parties have explicitly set out. This is also termed as special contract. In an express contract, all the elements would be specifically stated. In an express contract, the agreement of the parties is expressed in words, either in oral or written form.
There are two types of contracts: an expressed contract, which states the promises in clear language, and an implied contract, which is where behaviors or actions lead parties to believe an agreement exists.n expressed contract requires that the elements are specifically stated, including offer, acceptance and consideration. There are other elements like mutual assent, capacity and legally accepted terms. Examples include the sale of real estate, employment contracts and even a contract to perform a service.
