If you eat the steak you have to pay. Even "complete and functional product" is unlikely wording as very open to interpretation. Quite likely the contract is vague, people often do not lock these things down well at the start.

But if the steak comes, even if you say to a friend "this steak looks lovely" (eg using alpha for a product briefing with investors) and when you cut in to it it's raw or has a cyst or something then you send it back, you don't pay for it then. That's the implied contract at work.

What's the implied contract here? Well we shouldn't need to ask, there should be an actual contract to refer to.

They're claiming they didn't eat the steak but went and cooked a new pizza.
