IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual promises and other valuable consideration exchanged by the Parties herein, the Parties intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 

 

Term:  the term of the Agreement will be three (3) years (the “Lease Period”).  

 

Consideration:  The Lessee will pay a monthly installment of TT$405 (the “Lease Installment”) for the Leased Product at the beginning of each month during the Lease Period, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties.  An administrative late payment fee of 2% of the Lease Installment will be charged on Lease Installments 30 days past due.  Should the Lessee have unpaid Lease Installment balances for over 60 days the Lessor will consider such past due payments as grounds for termination in accordance with the termination clause hereunder

Delivery of Leased Product:  the Lessor will deliver the Leased Product and the Lessee will take possession of the same at a location mutually agreed between the Parties (the “Location”), and at a date mutually agreed between the Parties (the “Delivery Date”).  It is the Lessor’s duty to ensure that the Leased Product is delivered in the same condition as when last inspected by the Lessee (or, if there was no Lessee-inspection, then in the same condition as pertained on the Execution Date).  It is the Lessee’s duty, either in person or through an authorized third party (bearing written authorization), to appear on the Delivery Date at the Location during the time frame mutually agreed between the Parties to take possession of Leased Product. 

Conveyance of Title:  the Lessor retains title.

Warranties:  except for the representations and warranties forming part of this Agreement (appended at Schedule A), and other than warranties provided by applicable law, the Leased Product is sold in good working condition “AS IS” and the Lessor does not in any way, expressly or impliedly, give any warranties to the Lessee, inclusive of implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.   

 

Lessee’s Representation:  the individual signing this Agreement on behalf of the Lessee hereby represents to the Lessor that s/he has the power and authority to do so on behalf of the Lessee, and accepts the Leased Product AS IS.
