In reference to a credit agreement, means a period during which interest accrues on money advanced to a purchaser to purchase a vehicle, but that interest will be forgiven if the purchaser satisfies the conditions specified in the credit agreement. This means that the dealer may be entitled to interest for this period if the purchaser doesn’t meet the conditions of the agreement, for example, by defaulting on payments. |
