What kind of contract shows the intentions of parties by conduct?

An implied contract is one that is established by the actions and conduct of the parties involved, rather than through explicit words or written agreements. This means that the terms and intentions of the contract can be inferred from the behaviors and circumstances of the parties. For example, if someone goes to a restaurant and orders a meal, there is an implied contract that they will pay for the meal once it is served, even though no formal agreement or discussion about payment was made beforehand.

In this context, the other types of contracts do not apply in the same way. An express contract involves a clear and definitive agreement stated in words, either spoken or written. A bilateral contract refers to a mutual agreement where both parties make promises to each other. An executory contract is one that has not yet been fully performed by one or both sides. Therefore, in cases where the intention of the parties is demonstrated through their conduct rather than explicit promises, an implied contract best describes that situation.
