Hire-purchase agreement, Hire-purchase agreements are executor contracts under which the goods are let on hire and the hirer has an option to purchase in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

Hire-purchase system
Hire-purchase system. A system whereby the owner of goods lets them on hire for periodic payments by the hirer upon an agreement that when a certain number of payments have been completed, the absolute property in the goods will pass to the hirer, but so that the hirer may return the goods at any time without any obligation to pay any balance of rent accruing after return, until the conditions have been fulfilled, the property remains in the owner.
