risk level indicator at Medium level

The Legal Risk Score of a Consumer Credit Application Template is Medium

Our legal team have marked this document as medium risk considering:

  • The document allows the Creditor to unilaterally change credit terms and suspend or terminate the credit account, which could disrupt the Applicant's business operations without much prior notice.
  • The Creditor requires personal guarantees from directors, which means personal assets could be at risk if the business fails to meet its credit obligations.
  • The document imposes strict compliance with payment terms and includes provisions for the Creditor to charge interest and recover costs on overdue payments, potentially increasing financial liability significantly if payments are delayed.
