Under South Carolina law, there exists in every contract an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Adams v. G.J. Creel and Sons, Inc., 320 S.C. 274, 465 S.E.2d 84 (1995); Parker v. Byrd, 309 S.C. 189, 420 S.E.2d 850 (1992). Our Supreme Court, in Commercial Credit Corp. v. Nelson Motors, Inc., 247 S.C. 360, 147 S.E.2d 481 (1966), articulated: There exists in every contract an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. 17A C.J.S. Contracts 328; 17 Am. Jur. 2d Contracts, Sec. 255, 256; 4 Williston on Contracts, 3d ed., Sec. 610B; 5 Id., Sec. 670. We quote from 17A C.J.S. Contracts 328, pages 282--284: "A contract includes not only what is expressly stated but also what is necessarily to be implied from the language used and external facts, such as the surrounding circumstances; and terms which may clearly be implied from a consideration of the entire contract are as much a part thereof as though plainly written on its face. "In the absence of an express provision therefor, the law will imply an agreement by the parties to a contract to do and perform those things that according to reason and justice they should do in order to carry out the purpose for which the contract was made". And from 17 Am. Jur. 2d Contracts, Sec. 255, pages 649--650: The policy of the law is to supply in contracts what is presumed to have been inadvertently omitted or to have been deemed perfectly obvious by the parties, the parties being supposed to have made those stipulations which as honest, fair, and just men they ought to have made". "It has been said that implied promises always exist where the covenant on one side involves some corresponding obligation on the other; where, by the relationships of the parties and the subject matter of the contract, a duty is owing by one not expressly bound by the contract to the other party in reference to the subject thereof."
