A demand promissory note is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions of a loan or debt agreement between a lender and a borrower in the state of North Carolina. It serves as a written promise by the borrower to repay the loan amount, along with any accrued interest, to the lender upon demand. In North Carolina, there are different types of demand promissory notes that individuals and businesses can use to formalize their loan agreements. These note types include: 1. Straight Demand Promissory Note: This is the most basic form of a demand promissory note. It states the principal loan amount, interest rate, repayment terms, and the lender's right to call for repayment at any time. It does not include any specific installments or fixed maturity date for repayment. 2. Installment Demand Promissory Note: This note type allows the borrower to make repayments in regular installments, rather than requiring a lump sum repayment upon demand. The note specifies the repayment schedule, including the amount and frequency of installments, along with interest details. 3. Secured Demand Promissory Note: This type of note includes additional provisions that enable the lender to secure the loan against certain assets or collateral provided by the borrower. If the borrower fails to repay the loan, the lender can seize and sell the collateral to recover their funds. 4. Unsecured Demand Promissory Note: Unlike the secured note, this type lacks explicit collateral provisions. It relies solely on the borrower's creditworthiness and trustworthiness to ensure repayment. However, if the borrower defaults, the lender may face challenges in recovering the loan amount. 5. Demand Promissory Note with Acceleration Clause: This note includes an acceleration clause, which allows the lender to demand full repayment of the outstanding balance if the borrower fails to meet certain conditions, such as missing a payment or breaching the loan agreement. It is important to consult with a legal professional or attorney when drafting or entering into a demand promissory note in North Carolina to ensure compliance with state laws and to protect both parties' interests.
