What is a Deferral Agreement?

A deferral agreement is a contract between a lender and company that sets the terms and conditions of an agreed-upon payment deferral. The contract terms include details about how much the payment is, when the new due date is, and what fees might apply for the deferral. The agreement is useful to give business owners more time to come up with a required payment without risking violating the terms of the agreement.

The deferral agreement offers an easy and convenient way for lenders and borrowers to come to an agreement surrounding modifying the terms of the original contract.

"I'm a solo developer launching my first app and needed privacy, terms, and disclaimer documents done properly. Mike delivered all three and they were thorough — the disclaimer in particular covers the specific ways an alarm app can fail, which is exactly the risk I needed addressed. What stood out was the follow-through. When I found a typo in one of the paragraphs he'd written, he confirmed the correction the same day and made a point of saying I could reach out again in the future. He was responsive throughout and easy to work with, and he clearly understood what a small software business actually needs rather than handing over boilerplate. If you're a small developer or single-member LLC trying to get your legal documents right before launch, I'd recommend him."

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
