On the Basis of Creation a. Express contract :- A contract made by word spoken or written. According to sec 9 in so for as the proposal or acceptance of any promise is made in words, the promise is said to be express.

By implies contract means implied by law (i.e.) the law implied a contract through parties never intended. According to sec 9 in so for as such proposed or acceptance is made otherwise than in words, the promise is said to be implied. Example: A stops a taxi by waving his hand and takes his seat. There is an implied contract that A will pay the prescribed fare. 5/14/2018 Unit 1 - Mr.K.Mohan Kumar - Legal Aspects of Business

On the Basis of Creation C. Quasi Contracts are contracts which are created - Neither by word spoken Nor written Nor by the conduct of the parties. But these are created by the law. Example: If Mr. A leaves his goods at Mr. B’s shop by mistake, then it is for Mr. B to return the goods or to compensate the price. In fact, these contracts depend on the principle that nobody will be allowed to become rich at the expenses of the other. d. E–Contract: An e – contract is one, which is entered into between two parties via the internet. 5/14/2018 Unit 1 - Mr.K.Mohan Kumar - Legal Aspects of Business

On the Basis of Validity (e) Illegal contract:- It is a contract which the law forbids to be made. All illegal agreements are void but all void agreements or contracts are not necessary illegal. Contract that is immoral or opposed to public policy are illegal in nature. Unlike illegal agreements there is no punishment to the parties to a void agreement. Illegal agreements are void from the very beginning agreements are void from the very beginning but sometimes valid contracts may subsequently becomes void. 5/14/2018 Unit 1 - Mr.K.Mohan Kumar - Legal Aspects of Business

Example : D agrees to buy V’s cycle by promising to pay cash on 15th July. V agrees to deliver the cycle on 20th July. (c) Partly executed and partly executory:- A contract in which one of the parties has fulfilled his obligation but the other party is yet to fulfill his obligation. Example : A sells his car to B and A has delivered the car but B is yet to pay the price. For A, it is excuted contract whereas it is executory contract on the part of B since the price is yet to be paid. 5/14/2018 Unit 1 - Mr.K.Mohan Kumar - Legal Aspects of Business

On the Basis of Liability (a) Bilateral contract:- A contract in which both the parties commit to perform their respective promises is called a bilateral contract. Example : A offers to sell his fiat car to B for Rs.1,00,000 on acceptance of A’s offer by B, there is a promise by A to Sell the car and there is a promise by B to purchase the car there are two promise. (b) Unilateral contract:- A unilateral contract is a one sided contract in which only one party has to perform his promise or obligation party has to perform his promise or obligation to do or forbear. Errington v Errington and Woods (1952) Example :- A wants to get his room painted. He offers Rs.500 to B for this purpose B says to A “ if I have spare time on next Sunday I will paint your room”. There is a promise by A to pay Rs 500 to B. If B is able to spare time to paint A’s room. However there is no promise by B to Paint the house.
