Security Cheque Agreements are widely used in Qatar's business environment as a risk mitigation tool. These agreements are essential when parties want to document the terms and conditions under which security cheques are provided, held, and potentially presented for payment. The Security Cheque Agreement typically includes details of the underlying obligation, specific information about the security cheque(s), conditions for presentation, and return procedures.
