deferred payment merchandise
Deferred payment merchandise is coverage for merchants, distributors, and product manufacturers that sell their wares using time payment plans.
Additional Information
This coverage can be on a vendors only form, which covers the insured for the unpaid balance due the vendor until the property is fully paid for, or on a vendors and vendees dual interest form, which covers the entire cost of the item until the final payment is made. The vendors and vendees dual interest form covers both the purchaser and the seller in the event there is a loss to the merchandise before it is fully paid off. The purchaser does not have to continue making payments on an item that is no longer in use, and the vendor can maintain the goodwill aspects of terminating the customer's payments.
