implied-in-fact contract

Definition

Contract automatically created when a party tacitly accepts a benefit at a time when it is possible to reject it. For example, if a seller ships goods without a customer's order, the customer is not obligated to ship the goods back to the seller, or to pay for them, unless he or she takes the delivery and proceeds to use or resell them.
