The IOU Contract serves as a fundamental debt instrument in the Philippines, commonly used in both personal and business contexts where one party agrees to repay a specific sum to another. This document type is particularly relevant when parties need a straightforward but legally binding record of debt, without the complexity of a full loan agreement. The IOU Contract must comply with Philippine Civil Code requirements and may need to address specific provisions of the Truth in Lending Act for transparency in financial transactions. It typically includes the debt amount, payment terms, parties' details, and signatures, with optional notarization for additional legal security. While simpler than other financial instruments, an IOU Contract creates genuine legal obligations and can be enforced through Philippine courts if necessary.
