What type of contract creates obligations without verbally expressed terms?

Implied contracts are agreements that are formed through the actions, behavior, or circumstances of the parties involved, rather than through explicit verbal or written terms. In an implied contract, the obligations are understood and accepted based on the conduct of the parties or the context of the situation. This can occur in scenarios where a person's actions suggest that they agree to certain terms, even if they haven't explicitly stated them.

For example, if a person visits a restaurant and orders a meal, an implied contract is established where the patron agrees to pay for the meal after it is served, even though no one has verbally expressed this agreement. The relationship and actions of the parties involved lead to the understanding of obligations.

Other contract types, such as expressed contracts, involve clearly stated terms, whether verbally or in writing. Written contracts explicitly outline the obligations and terms in a structured format. Void contracts are agreements that are not legally enforceable and thus do not create any obligations at all. In contrast to these, implied contracts rely on inferred obligations that arise from behavior and context.
