Express Contractual Term

A Express Contract Term is a contractual term that is explicitly stated within a contractual agreement.

• Context:
  • It can specify exactly what the parties have agreed upon, including conditions such as payment terms, delivery deadlines, or specific duties each party must fulfill.
  • It can range from being an Oral Contract Term (if verbally agreed upon and noted as express) to a Written Contract Term (if documented in writing in the contract).
  • It can be subject to interpretation based on its clarity and precision, and it may be enforced more strictly than implied terms due to its explicit nature.
  • It can include terms essential to the contract's core obligations, such as price and scope of services, which, if breached, may lead to significant legal consequences.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • an Employment Contract that explicitly states the employee's salary, job title, and responsibilities.
  • a Lease Agreement that outlines the monthly rental amount, payment due dates, and specific tenant and landlord obligations.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • Implied Contract Terms
  • an assumption that employees will adhere to standard industry work hours, which is often not explicitly written in employment contracts but implied.
