Justipedia explains Implied Contract

This type of contract is not usually written and the agreement is formed just by the actions of the parties. An example of an implied contract is when a veterinarian treats a pet or an animal. It is generally understood that the vet will treat the animal to the best of his ability and the owner will pay the charges.
