Voluntary termination does not apply to which type of agreement?

Voluntary termination is a provision that lets you end certain credit or hire arrangements before the agreed term by returning the goods and settling the outstanding charges, effectively stopping future payments. This option exists in agreements where you’re purchasing or financing the asset, such as hire purchase or similar consumer credit contracts, because you have or are aiming to gain ownership through the payments already made. In a lease, however, you’re not buying the asset but renting it for a period under a lease agreement. The way to end a lease early is determined by the lease terms and potential penalties or buy-out options, not by a built-in voluntary termination right. Since the VT mechanism is not applicable to leases, the correct answer is lease agreements.
