Implied Contract is a legal relationship which is created by actions of the parties, without written or oral agreements. Here the terms are not expressed but they are inferred from the actions of the parties.
For example, claims in advertisement and labeling establish an implied contract between the seller and the buyer. A promise made by the supervisor, a statement in the employee handbook and a historical action by the employer are some of the other examples that may constitute an implied contract.
Sometimes an implied contract overrides signed contracts. It is typically up to the interpretation of the courts or arbitrators to decide whether or not a binding implied contract exists and is breached.
Implied contracts are of two types.

Implied contracts are of two types.
- Implied-in-fact contract: Such contracts are created from the conduct performed by the party making a promise and the method of agreement.
- Implied-in-law contract: These contracts are not really contracts but can be considered as legal remedies for an apparent injustice. It is also known as quasi-contract - a legal substitute for a contract. It is used by the court when the court wants to create an obligation so that injustice can be avoided.
