Bonjour,

Quelqu'un aurait-il une idée sur cette notion de head of terms ?

Peut-être cela renvoie-il à "titres"...

Merci d'avance,

Reference: It should be "Heads of terms", with an "S"

Reference information:
"In a commercial property transaction in the UK, a heads of agreement is often known as the heads of terms (HOTS). The main purpose of the heads of terms is to identify and highlight the requirements of both the seller and the purchaser of the property. There are a number of advantages of using the heads of terms. For instance, by carrying this out, both parties will fully understand what they are subject to, and reduce or abolish any misunderstandings from either party.[4] The heads of terms normally contains the following information:

Details of the property seller
Details of the property purchaser
Address of the commercial property
Details of the commercial property
The purchase price both parties have agreed to
The payment information
Any special conditions
Transaction completion date"

However, heads of terms aren't just for commercial property transactions.
