A contract may be express or implied. An express contract is one, whose terms are stated in words. An implied contract is one, the existence and terms of which are manifested by conduct. A unilateral contract is one in which there is a promise to pay or give other consideration in return for actual performance. bilateral contract is one in which a promise is exchanged for a promise.
