Alex sends an email to GreenBuild offering to design a new website for $8,000. GreenBuild starts working with Alex, providing him with necessary materials and feedback, but does not explicitly agree to the $8,000 fee. Later, GreenBuild refuses to pay the agreed amount. Which type of contract best describes the agreement between Alex and GreenBuild?
A unilateral contract requiring payment only upon completion
No contract was formed because the fee was not explicitly agreed upon
The correct answer is that an implied-in-fact contract exists because the actions of both parties indicate mutual agreement to the terms, even though the $8,000 fee was not explicitly agreed upon. GreenBuild’s reliance on Alex’s services demonstrates acceptance of the offer through conduct.
