Explanation

An acceleration clause (or acceleration provision) is a standard provision in Oregon mortgages and deeds of trust that allows the lender to declare the entire loan balance immediately due and payable if the borrower defaults, transfers the property (due-on-sale clause), or violates other loan covenants.
