Lors de la passation d'une commande, ou de la conclusion d'un contrat relatif à l'exécution d'un travail, le vendeur peut demander à l'acheteur le versement de sommes d'argent, avant ou pendant l'exécution, à valoir sur le prix convenu. Cette remise d'argent est appelée : avance, si la somme est versée avant toute exécution de la commande; acompte, si elle est versée sur justification d'une exécution partielle. Dans la pratique, le terme «acompte» est assez communément employé même lorsqu'il s'agit en fait d'une avance. 3, record 1, French, - acompte
