credit agreements

Debt repayment terms

Credit agreements are formal contracts between a lender and borrower specifying the terms of a loan—interest rate, repayment schedule, and conditions for default.

The term covers everything from credit card terms to corporate financing arrangements: Read the credit agreement carefully before signing.

In legal and financial contexts, the phrase emphasizes the binding, documented nature of the debt.
