implied term

implied term
A contractual term that has not been expressly agreed between the parties, but has been implied into the contract either by common law or by statute. At common law, terms may be implied in order to give the contract business efficacy, by reason of custom or practice, or because the term is a necessary feature of a particular type of contract.
