This agreement specifies in particular:
1° The basis and amount of the sums due, with a separate indication of the various elements of the debt or debts to be recovered from the debtor;
2° The terms and conditions of the guarantee given to the creditor against the financial consequences of civil liability incurred as a result of the debt recovery activity;
3° The conditions for determining the remuneration to be paid by the creditor;
4° The conditions for repayment of funds collected on behalf of the creditor.
