Document background
The Deferred Payment Contract is essential in commercial transactions where immediate payment is not feasible or desired. This document, governed by Swiss law, provides a legally robust framework for structuring delayed payment obligations while ensuring compliance with Swiss financial regulations and the Code of Obligations. It's commonly used in various scenarios including trade finance, equipment purchases, service agreements, and commercial property transactions. The contract typically includes detailed payment schedules, interest calculations, security arrangements, and default provisions. The choice of Swiss law offers parties the benefit of a well-developed legal system with clear precedents regarding payment obligations and enforcement mechanisms. This template is designed to be adaptable for both domestic Swiss transactions and international commercial arrangements where parties have chosen Swiss law as their governing law.
