| Early Loan Repayment Terms | In the case of loans provided, upon early fulfillment of the obligations specified in the agreement, including full or partial early repayment of the loan, the Borrower shall pay a penalty of up to 5% (five percent) of the amount repaid early, as partial compensation for the Lender’s foregone expected income. Moreover: ✔ In case of full early repayment of the loan, the borrower shall pay the interest accrued as of the payment date, the service fee, other applicable fees, and the loan principal. ✔ In case of partial early repayment of the loan:
✔ The borrower may, at their own discretion, make payments for future months as specified in the repayment schedule. In that case, repayments shall be made in the following order:
The borrower shall be exempted from making payments on the scheduled repayment dates to the extent of the amounts prepaid for future months. 4. In case of partial early repayment of the loan, from the amount paid, the full amount of the upcoming payment specified in the Borrower’s repayment schedule shall first be charged. If the amount paid exceeds the amount due for the upcoming installment, the excess shall be applied toward loan repayment, except in cases where the Borrower specifies that the funds should be allocated to future months of the repayment schedule, as provided in Clause 6. In such cases, the interest amounts and service fees for future payments specified in the repayment schedule shall be recalculated based on the remaining loan principal, and accordingly, the service fees and interest for the following month(s) shall be reduced proportionally to the additional amount repaid early. In this case, the Borrower shall be informed that, due to early repayment, the future repayment schedule has been modified, and that in order to obtain a new repayment schedule and/or information on the next installment, the Borrower may apply to the Lender after one business day. If the Borrower chooses to receive the new repayment schedule via postal service, the Lender shall provide (send) it to the Borrower within 3–5 business days. In this case, the new repayment schedule may be provided (sent) only as a document signed and stamped unilaterally by the Lender’s authorized employee, without the Borrower’s signature. 5. If the amount paid is insufficient to fully cover the upcoming installment as defined in the Borrower’s repayment schedule, service fees and other charges shall be repaid first, followed by interest, and then the loan principal. 6. The Borrower has the right to pay amounts for future months under the repayment schedule, requesting that in such case the following order of repayment be applied: first, service fees and other charges for future months; then interest calculated as of the payment date; then service fees and interest for future months calculated on the remaining loan principal; and finally, the loan principal for future months, or may specify a different order of repayment. In the absence of such a request, the rule set out in Clause 4 shall apply. 7. In cases where the Borrower makes payments for future months in accordance with Clause 6, the Borrower shall be exempt from making payments on the scheduled repayment dates to the extent of such prepayments. |
