There are such things as unilateral contracts. It could be argued that your performance of the order was acceptance of the terms contained therein. It would be best to have your client remove the objectionable term from the order before you perform the work.
There are also contracts implied in fact. Although words may never be spoken between the parties the intent of the parties and the terms of the agreement are determined from their conduct with respect to the transaction. For example when you buy groceries your conduct of unloading the groceries from the cart and placing them on the counter for check out is an implied offer to buy them. The clerk's conduct in ringing them up is an implied acceptance of the implied offer. Bagging the groceries is both the store's consideration and performance. Your payment is your consideration and performance. Never a word spoken but fully enforceable.
