The Equipment Lease to Own Agreement serves as a crucial document for businesses and individuals seeking to acquire equipment through a structured payment plan while having immediate use of the assets. This contract type is particularly useful when immediate full purchase is not feasible or desired, but eventual ownership is the goal. Under Dutch law, this agreement carefully balances the interests of both lessor and lessee, incorporating provisions from both lease and purchase regulations found in the Burgerlijk Wetboek. The document addresses key aspects including equipment delivery, maintenance obligations, payment terms, insurance requirements, and the specific conditions under which ownership transfers. It's commonly used for high-value equipment acquisitions where spreading the cost over time while maintaining security for the lessor is important.
