The Credit Sale Agreement is a fundamental document in South African commercial transactions where goods are sold on credit terms. It is essential for businesses that offer credit facilities to consumers and must strictly comply with the National Credit Act 34 of 2005 and the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008. This agreement is used when a seller (credit provider) agrees to sell goods to a purchaser (consumer) who will pay the purchase price in installments over time, with interest. The document must include mandatory disclosures about credit costs, interest rates, and fees, as well as prescribed consumer rights and protections. It's particularly important that the agreement includes clear terms about ownership retention, payment schedules, and default procedures. The agreement should be used whenever goods are sold on credit terms in South Africa, regardless of the industry sector, and must be drafted to ensure full regulatory compliance while protecting the credit provider's interests.
