This is a hire-purchase contract for a pump set where the hirer pays for use over a fixed term with an option to buy. It is not a simple rental agreement because it contains specific provisions for the transfer of absolute ownership and liability for remaining instalments after loss.
Use this document when a party wants to acquire a pump set through instalments rather than an upfront payment. If the intent is just to rent equipment for a period without any possibility of ownership transfer, use an Equipment Lease Agreement instead.
| Clause | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hiring Terms | The Owner lets a pump set to the Hirer for a specific term of months at a defined monthly rent. |
| 2 | Payment of Rent | The Hirer pays an initial sum for the first month's rent and continues monthly instalments on a set day. |
| 3 | Maintenance and Inspection | The Hirer must maintain the pump set in good condition and allow the Owner to inspect it whenever demanded. |
| 4 | Liability for Loss | The Hirer remains liable for all remaining instalments even if the goods are destroyed by fire, theft, or other causes. |
| 5 | Prohibition of Transfer | The Hirer cannot sell, pledge, or move the pump set from their address without the Owner's prior written consent. |
| 6 | Owner's Right to Repossess | The Owner may terminate hiring and enter the Hirer's premises to seize the pump set if the Hirer neglects any terms. |
| 8 | Early Purchase Option | The Hirer becomes the absolute owner by paying all arrears and future rents due under the agreement. |
| 9 | Insurance Obligations | The Hirer must insure the pump set against fire and theft in the Owner's name or joint names. |

Templates in our curated library are professionally drafted for US or UK law. The wider library comes from the GitLaw community and public sources - a solid starting point, but check any template fits your situation before you rely on it.
Mostly US and UK law. Some templates use general commercial terms that work across jurisdictions, and many note which law they're written for.
It depends on the situation. Templates work well for routine business agreements. For anything involving significant money, complex IP, employment, or areas you're unsure about, it's worth getting professional advice before you sign. GitLaw provides templates and tools, not legal advice.
Open any template in GitLaw and describe the change you want in the chat — 'make clause 4 mutual' or 'add a 30-day notice period', for example. GitLaw drafts the revised language and shows it as a suggested edit. You accept, reject, or keep editing from there.

A hire-purchase agreement under which an owner lets goods (here, a pump set) on hire to a hirer in India for a fixed term at monthly rent, with an option for the hirer to become the absolute owner on paying all instalments. It covers the rent and instalment schedule, the hirer's obligations to maintain and insure the goods, restrictions on removing, selling or encumbering them, the owner's right to repossess on default, the hirer's option either to purchase outright or to terminate by surrendering the goods, and the hirer's continuing liability for instalments even if the goods are lost or destroyed.
