Law No. 159 of 1961. It provides for installment sales, loan-affiliated sales, credit purchase brokerage, prepaid specific transactions, etc., and aims to ensure the fairness of transactions, promote their healthy development, and protect consumers. It has been amended many times to deal with the expansion of sales credit (→ consumer credit), the diversification of transaction forms, consumer issues, etc. When a seller makes an installment sale, it requires the seller to display the cash sales price (the price when the full amount is received at the same time as the delivery of the product or the provision of the service) and the installment sales price, and to provide the buyer with a document stating the installment sales price, etc. at the time of contract conclusion. When an installment sales contract is concluded at a place other than a business office, the buyer is allowed to cancel the contract under certain conditions (→ cooling off period). It stipulates that the ownership of products sold on installment is presumed to be retained by the installment seller until payment is completed. It provides for the proper management of credit card numbers, and makes the fraudulent use and acquisition of credit card information subject to punishment. Contracts based on false pretenses are invalid, and the purchaser may demand a refund of the purchase price. Installment sales businesses are required to investigate the consumer's ability to repay, and contracts that exceed that ability are prohibited. Loan-affiliated sales and other similar restrictions are also in place.

昭和36年法律159号。割賦販売,ローン提携販売,信用購入斡旋,前払式特定取引などについて規定し,取り引きの公正さを確保することによってその健全な発達をはかり,消費者を保護することを目的とする。販売信用(→消費者信用)の拡大や取引形態の多様化,消費者問題などに対応するためたびたび改正された。販売業者が割賦販売を行なう際,現金販売価格(商品の引き渡しや役務の提供と同時に代金の全額を受領する場合の価格)や割賦販売価格などを表示することや,契約締結時に割賦販売価格などを記した書面を購入者に交付することを販売業者に義務づける。営業所以外の場所で割賦販売契約が締結された場合,一定の条件のもとで購入者に契約解除権を認める(→クーリング・オフ)。割賦販売された商品の所有権については,支払いが終了するまで割賦販売業者に留保されると推定すると定められている。クレジットカード番号の適切な管理について規定し,クレジットカード情報の不正利用,不正取得を処罰の対象とする。虚偽に基づく契約は無効とし,購入者が代金の返還を要求できるとする。割賦販売業者に消費者の支払い能力調査を義務づけ,その能力をこえた契約を禁止する。ローン提携販売などにも割賦販売と同種の規制を設けている。(→特定商取引法)
