Acceleration Clause

A clause is a term or condition in a contract.  An acceleration claun a Promissory Note is one that allows the payee to demand immediate payment of the entire balance including payments due at a future time if the Promissor defaults under the terms of a Promissory Note. A default would typically include missing one or more payments, or failing to make payments on time.  A payee may require a repayment of all remaining installments if a promisor fails to make a regularly scheduled payment when due.
