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.
An exchange of promises in which the terms by which the parties agree to be bound are declared either orally or in writing, or a combination of both, at the time it is made.oth forms of contract require mutual assent and a meeting of the minds, but an express contract is proved by an actual agreement where a contract impled in fact is proved by circumstances and the conduct of the parties.
