This Payment Agreement is entered into as of May 12 by and between [Client.Company] having its principal place of business located at 27 Plymouth Lane Los Angeles, CA 90066 (the “Owing Party”) and [Sender.Company] having its principal place of business located at 4 East Manchester St. Bakersfield, CA 93306 (the “Owed Party”), both of whom agree to be bound by this Agreement.

How do you write a payment agreement?

This payment agreement template is written as a contract between two businesses. However, payment agreements can also involve private individuals and financial institutions. Depending on your situation, you can rewrite this section to refer to the “Principal place of residence” if the lender or borrower isn’t a business.

You can use this payment agreement template to collect some of the debt and release the rest of the debt upon payment. To do so, edit the “Amount owed” above to state “the discounted rate of [Amount owed].” Then in section 6 below, edit “The full amount of the deficiency” to state “The undiscounted amount of the deficiency, [Full amount owed]” instead. This can help you receive at least partial repayment from debtors without sacrificing your right to the full amount should they stop following the payment plan.

Deficiency Acknowledgment

In a legal deficiency arrangement, a sponsor or other entity agrees to contribute money to a business to make up for any deficiencies brought on by limitations on capital investment, cash flow, or income, allowing the business to pay down their loans.

The Owing Party agrees and acknowledges that it is indebted to the Owed Party an amount of money equal to the Deficiency as defined above. Nothing in this Payment Agreement is a waiver of any amounts owed and in the event of any breach of this Agreement by the Owing Party, the Owed Party's rights to the Deficiency shall not be limited.

If the profits of any selling or other disposal of the Assets are inadequate to cover the Owing Party’s commitments and the costs and expenses of any lawyers hired by the Owed Party to recover the shortfall, the Owing Party will be responsible for such shortfall.

This clause protects the owed party from potential attempts to avoid payment by the owing party. The owing party can request that this be edited to include a waiver on certain amounts owed, particularly if the payment agreement involves a discounted rate.

Owing Party Representation and Warranty

The Owing Party hereby represents and warrants that this Agreement and the payment plan herein has been developed in a manner that the Owing Party reasonably believes it can pay the Owed Party without further interruption notwithstanding an additional change in circumstances.

Both parties comply with the following warranties and representations: Each party guarantees and denotes toward the other that: (i) it has all necessary organizational or other authority, jurisdiction, licensing requirements, planning permissions, privileges, approvals, and wholly owned subsidiaries to execute this Arrangement and carry out its contractual duties; and (ii) its implementation, distribution, and effectiveness of this Contract has been allocated by, or is in full compliance with, its organic components, and this Contract has been duly implemented.

Payment Plan

The Parties hereby agree to the payment plan as described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Payment Plan”). The Owing Party agrees to make the payments to the Owed Party associated with the dates as listed on the Payment Plan.

All payments required under this Agreement must be wired to a bank account chosen from a bank in the country of the Owed Party’s choosing. All transactions under the agreement must be paid in US currency. Any transaction that is due under certain terms and conditions but falls on a weekend, holiday, or other non-business day mustl be made the next working day. To the extent permissible by applicable law, any transactions that are not made on the deadline they are due under this Contract will accrue interest at the prime rate as reported by the Wall Street Journal on the deadline, plus an extra (**) percent ((**)%), determined by calculating the amount of days the fee is past due.

The payment plan is vital to keeping your payment or loan agreement on track. You can use your payment plan agreement to set up a payment schedule that includes interest rates, or you can set it to pay off the amount originally owed and no more. As long as both parties agree to the schedule, the settlement amount, and sign the contract, either solution is acceptable and enforceable. You can, alternatively, also submit a payment plan separately in the format of PDF or Word. You can use the payment plan at the end of this agreement template as an example.

A payment agreement contract can use any valid payment method agreed upon by both parties. However, either party is free to refuse to make or accept a payment made with a payment method not listed in the contract. Make sure you select a payment method that both parties will be able to manage for the duration of the payment agreement. You can also edit the above clause to include multiple payment methods if you are concerned about relying on a single one.

Method of Payment

Payments shall be made to the Owed Party in accordance with the Payment Plan via bank transfer.

Release and Indemnification

In consideration for agreeing to this Payment Agreement, the Owed Party hereby releases any ancillary claims against the Owing Party related to the Deficiency as of the date of this Agreement. However, nothing in this Agreement is meant to release the Owing Party from its obligation to pay the Deficiency according to the Payment Plan herein or limit the rights of the Owed Party in collecting said Deficiency.

Acceleration upon Breach

This clause acts as a penalty for late payments made by the owing party. This is most commonly used in industries like real estate, where loans are very large. You can edit the clause to permit multiple missed payments or to adjust the debt amount that will come due after each missed payment.

In the event that the Owing Party fails to make any payments in accordance with the Payment Plan, upon reaching ten (10) days after the failure to make any such prescribed payment, the full amount of the Deficiency shall come immediately due and payable.

Assignment

The Owed Party may assign this Agreement with written notice to the Owing Party. In the event of such assignment, the assignee may designate a new method of payment.

No Modification Unless in Writing

No modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and agreed upon by both Parties.

This clause allows the owed party to assign the contract to a debt collector on their behalf. If neither party wants to permit assignment, you can edit the clause to state that the owed party cannot assign the agreement to anyone else. This allows the party borrowing money to remain confident that they will pay the same party back over the duration of the agreement.

Severability

In the event any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable for any reason, then the Parties agree that such provision shall be deemed to be struck and the remainder of the Agreement shall be enforced as if the struck provision were never included in the Agreement.

Clause of Severability: Any portion, clause, guarantee, or claim of this Contract that is unlawful, illegal, or invalid shall be futile to the degree of such violation without undermining the remainder of this Contract's terms. Without nullifying the residual terms of this Agreement, any component, requirement, recognition, or warranty that is forbidden, impossible to enforce, or determined to be nullified or held to be invalid in any jurisdiction shall be useless with respect to that authority to the significant degree of such restriction or enforcement of public, and any such restriction or non-infringement in any authority with respect to any new loan shall not nullify or render such requirement voidable in any other purview.

Applicable Law

This Agreement and the interpretation of its terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [Sender.Country] , [Sender.State] and subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the [Sender.Country] , [Sender.State] .

This Contract is the whole understanding between the companies with regard to its nature of the content, and it will continue to progress and retain its effectiveness until the Parties mutually agree to its termination.
