What type of contract is used between the construction company and its suppliers?

COne off contract

DCall off contract

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Express terms are the terms of the agreement which are expressly agreed between the parties. Ideally, they will be written down in a contract between the parties but where the contract is agreed verbally, they will be the terms discussed and agreed between the parties.

The types of express terms to be found in a contract are many and varied and will depend on the type of contract. Any term written into the contract is an express term and may refer to price, time scales, warranties and indemnities, limitations on liability, conditions precedent and so on.

I agree with Shawna. A call off contract allows the construction company to order materials as needed without having to store them on site.
