Discuss CIPS L4M3 Exam Topic 10 Question 27

Which of the following are likely to be express terms in a contract?

1. Legislation

2. Custom and practice

3. Contract particulars

4. Terms and conditions

A2 and 3 only

B1 and 4 only

C3 and 4 only

D1 and 2 only

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.

Not sure about 1 being an express term, seems off.

Totally agree with 3 and 4 being express terms!

Dominque 12 months ago

Surprised that legislation is even an option here!

Georgeanna 12 months ago

I think custom and practice can be too, but not always.

Tiera 1 year ago

Terms and conditions are definitely express terms.

Jamal 1 year ago

I thought legislation could be implied rather than express, but I might be mixing it up with another topic we covered.

Layla 1 year ago

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like terms and conditions are always express, but I'm confused about the others.

Harrison 1 year ago

I think contract particulars and terms and conditions are definitely express terms, but I can't recall if custom and practice fits in there too.

Marvel 1 year ago

I remember we discussed express terms in contracts, but I'm not entirely sure if legislation counts as one.

Alright, let me think this through. Express terms are the specific, written-out provisions in the contract, so I'd say 3 and 4 are the most likely answers here.

Felice 1 year ago

I'm a bit confused on this. I know express terms are explicitly stated in the contract, but I'm not sure which of these options would qualify. Guess I'll have to make an educated guess.

Carisa 1 year ago

I've got a good feeling about this one. Contract particulars and terms and conditions seem like the most likely express terms to me.

Judy 1 year ago

Okay, let's see. I'm pretty sure that legislation and terms and conditions would be express terms, but I'm not sure about the other two. I'll have to review my notes on that.

Belen 1 year ago

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the differences between the options.

This looks like a straightforward question about integrating Salesforce Community Cloud with an IAM system. I think the key is to identify the requirements for self-registration and SSO.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know black box testing is about testing the system without access to the source code, but I'm not sure if that means it determines the expected results or not. I'll have to think about this one a bit more.
