A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ex contractu is a Latin term that means "from a contract" or "arising from a contract." It refers to any consequence that comes from a contract. This term is often used to describe a legal action that arises from a breach of a provision in a contract. An ex contractu action can be based on an express or implied contract.
