The purchase option is an obligation within a leasing contract, so the financial institution that is in charge of acquiring the product must respect the lessee's decision to acquire it at the end of the contract.

Being a contract between two entities, each of the parties has a series of obligations whose non-compliance will mean the end of the contract. In a leasing contract, the financial entity is the owner of the acquired asset but is only responsible for the acquisition costs of the asset in question, so the maintenance and repair costs of the product are borne by the company. Besides, the characteristics and suppliers of the product are stipulated by the company that wishes to acquire it since they are the ones who best decide what suits their needs, so quality and performance issues do not imply any obligation for the financial institution, but rather it only has the power to finance its acquisition. The product acquired by Leasing can only be used in the terms stipulated in the contract, in addition to the fact that the financial institution can request supervision of its operation in order to verify that the clauses of the contract are being complied with.

If it were the case that the property to be acquired is located in another country, during the execution of the contract agreements the parties must agree who is the one who will advance the transfer costs, or the financial institution or the company in question. In addition to this, the financial entity will be the one that will agree with the supplier of the good to deliver it to the company at a certain place and date, therefore the company will only have to take care of receiving it and using it within the clauses that have been agreed.
