deposit
A deposit is a sum of money a Buyer pays to a Seller, to show that the Buyer's offer is sincere. (The deposit is held in trust for the Seller.) The buyer can choose to give the deposit either when they make the offer, or when the offer is accepted. If there is a breach of contract on the part of the Buyer, the deposit can be forfeited.
