Retention money is the payment for a service or product that is withheld pending the completion of some specified condition. For example, buyer may withhold the amount due until the supplier replace all defective goods.

Pay-less notice is the notice under a contract which states that the invoice will only be partially paid because of some issues such as supplier has to pay the damages.

Remedies for late payment are remedies that supplier may seek when a buyer pay it later than the stated payment terms. Normally, the buyer will be charged an interest rate.

An implied term is a term which the courts imply into a contract because it has not been expressly included by the parties. This may be because the parties did not consider it, did not think that any problem would arise in relation to it or simply omitted to include it.

The courts are very reluctant to imply terms into contracts and will only do so in the following circumstances:

1. terms implied under statute

2. terms implied under common law

3. terms implied because of custom or usage

4. terms implied due to previous dealings

5. terms implied ‘in fact’ or to reflect the parties’ intentions

Consideration refers to the exchange of something of value between the contracting parties and is a fundamental requirement for a valid contract. It can be in the form of goods, services, money, or a promise. Without consideration, there is no enforceable contract even if other elements like offer and acceptance are present.
