Acceleration1 clause 提前条约(在某种状况下可需要提前偿还的条约)

中英文对照注释:

A clause in a contract that states that if a payment is missed, or some other default occurs (such as the debtor2 becoming insolvent3), then the contract is fully4 due immediately. This is a typical clause in a loan contract; miss one payment and the agreement to pay at regular intervals5 is voided and the entire amount becomes due and payable6 immediately.

在合同尤其是在贷款合同中,常常有提前条约,譬如约定假如债权人破产,合同便立即到期,还有,在分期偿还贷款的合同中约定,一旦债务人不偿还一期债务,那样全部债款就立刻到期并要被偿还
