The Down Payment Agreement is essential in commercial and consumer transactions under Belgian law where advance payments are required to secure a future purchase or service. This document is commonly used in various situations, from real estate transactions to large equipment purchases, where a significant financial commitment is necessary before the main transaction is completed. The agreement must comply with Belgian civil law, including Book VI of the Code of Economic Law for consumer transactions, and may need to address anti-money laundering requirements for large payments. It typically specifies the down payment amount, payment schedule, conditions for refund or forfeiture, and the rights and obligations of all parties involved. The document serves as a crucial protection mechanism for both parties by clearly defining the terms of the advance payment and its relationship to the main transaction.
