Under hire purchase agreement, when will the ownership of asset legally belong to the purchaser?
Hire purchase is an arrangement for buying expensive consumer goods, where the buyer makes an initial down payment and pays the balance plus interest in installments. Ownership is not transferred until the end of the agreement, hire purchase plans offer more protection to the vendor than other sales or leasing methods for unsecured items. That's because the items can be repossessed more easily should the buyer be unable to keep up with the repayments.
The answer is 'When the final instalment is paid'.

Social and environmental criteria are often incorporated into which of the following type of specification?
Developing and using generic specifications is as import in the sustainable procurement process as it is in the traditional procurement process. During this stage, human/labour rights and environmental performance criteria should be translated into specifications that meet specific requirements of the specified outcome, desired by the procurement action.
The specification stage is key to all types of contract. Building in environmental and social considerations at this early stage, provides a clear indication to suppliers that sustainability is important to the UN organization. Consider available alternatives which are less environmentally and socially damaging. Consider all the phases of a product's life cycle (e.g. production, transportation, maintenance, disposal, etc) when determining its cost and environmental impact. Assess the overall environmental and social integrity of suppliers by looking at their policies and practices.
Specifications which are output-based rather than input-based can increase supplier innovation, reduce waste and minimise harmful social and environmental impacts.

Which of the following is the type of insurance that cover the liabilities of service provider such as legal advice, accountancy, technical designs, etc?
The most usual forms of insurance cover are as below:
- Employer's liability: Employers' liability insurance, sometimes known as employment practices liability insurance (EPLI), protects employers from financial loss if a worker has a job-related injury or illness not covered by workers' compensation. Employers' liability insurance can be packaged with workers' compensation insurance to further protect companies against the costs associated with workplace injuries, illnesses, and deaths. Employers' liability insurance is also called ''part 2'' of a workers' compensation policy.
- Public/product liability: Public liability insurance covers you against any claims made against your business -- for example if you were held legally liable for personal injury, or for damage done to property. The insurance will also cover you for any legal costs associated with defending claims against your business.
- Professional indemnity insurance (PII): Professional indemnity or liability insurance offers such coverage to professional advice or service providing individuals and companies ensuring protection against any legal costs and damages awarded as a result of claims relating to negligence. Whereas more general forms of liability insurance focus on direct forms of harm such as sustaining injuries, professional indemnity insurance provides a far more detailed and comprehensive form of coverage. The cover protects a firm or individual's liability relating to any financial loss caused by errors or omissions in the service provided as well as any alleged failure to perform on behalf of a client.
- Goods in transit coverage: Goods in transit insurance, sometimes referred to as GIT, covers goods against loss or damage while being moved from one place to another. These goods can be being carried by individuals in their own vehicle, self employed drivers or contractors or by third party carriers. The insurance can cover both domestic and international trips, with specific add-ons available for insurance within Europe.

MWB operates serviced offices in central London. Rock entered a contractual licence with MWB to occupy office space in Marble Arch and had accumulated licence fees in arrears. The original licence agreement contained a 'No Oral Modification' clause that said: 'All variations to this licence must be agreed, set out in writing and signed on behalf of both parties before they take effect'.
After 6 months, Rock director re-negotiated to extend payment period over phone call and MWB credit controller agreed his proposal. Is this agreement considered as an effective variation to the original licence agreement?
The license can be amended during its lifespan. However, in this case, it already has a clause allowing for mechanism of variation which sets out who can authorise changes and prohibits any oral variation. Therefore, the agreement between Rock's director and MWB credit controller is not an effective variation to the license.
LO 1, AC 1.1
In a contract, both buyer and supplier agreed the lead time is 3 days. The contract also requires that any variation must be made in writing. Then the buyer places an order by phone call and requests delivery the next day, but the supplier delivers on the third day since the order. Can buyer refuse to pay as supplier did not deliver per time?
Lead time is the amount of time that passes from the start of a process until its conclusion. In procurement, lead time can be understood as the amount of time that passes from placing an order until the delivery.
In the scenario, the contract requires the supplier to make a delivery within 3 days since the order. This contract can only be amended with written consent from both parties. Therefore, there is no ground for shortening the lead time to 1 day because the new lead time is only the request of buyer. Then the supplier still makes delivery within agreed lead time.
