(1) Every agreement shall contain-

(a) a statement of the cash price and the hire-purchase price or total purchase price, as the case may be, of the goods;

(b) the amount of each instalment by which the price is to be paid and the date or the mode of determining the date upon which each instalment is payable;

(c) a description or list of the goods to which the agreement relates sufficient to identify them;

(d) a notice, which is at least as prominent as the rest of the contents of the agreement, in the terms set out in the First or Second Schedule to this Decree.

(2) A copy of the agreement shall be delivered or sent to the hirer or buyer within 14 days after the making of the agreement.

(3) If the court is satisfied in any action that a failure to comply with any of the requirements specified in paragraphs (b) and (c) of subsection (1) and subsection (2) has not prejudiced the buyer or hirer and that it would be just and equitable to dispense with the requirement, the court may, subject to any conditions that it thinks fit to impose, dispense with that requirement for the purpose of the action.
