(A) An "installment contract" is one which requires or authorizes the delivery of goods in separate lots to be separately accepted, even though the contract contains a clause "each delivery is a separate contract" or its equivalent.
Getting a Copy of the Contract Under TILA, the dealer is required to give the customer a copy of the contract to keep at the time the customer signs the retail installment sale contract whether you want to incur the debt on these terms.
An installment contract is a single contract that is completed by a series of performances–such as payments, performances of a service, or delivery of goods–rather than being performed all at one time.
