The Installment Purchase Agreement is essential for transactions where goods are sold with payment structured in installments over time. This document type is commonly used in Malta for both consumer and commercial transactions, particularly for high-value items such as vehicles, equipment, or machinery. The agreement must comply with Malta's Hire Purchase Agreement Act, Consumer Affairs Act, and relevant EU-derived regulations, making it suitable for businesses operating in Malta or engaging with Maltese customers. It includes comprehensive terms covering payment schedule, title transfer, warranties, and default provisions, while incorporating mandatory consumer protections required under Maltese law. The document is structured to protect both seller and purchaser interests while ensuring regulatory compliance.
