Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le terme «avance» convient davantage dans le cas où la somme versée l'est avant toute exécution de commande. En revanche, on utilise le terme «acompte» lorsque la somme versée tire sa justification de l'exécution partielle de la commande. Dans le cas des «arrhes», la somme versée n'est pas restituée s'il y a rupture du contrat tandis qu'elle peut l'être lorsqu'il s'agit d'une «avance». 1, record 1, French, - avance
