German term or phrase: Akzeptantenwechsel
AGB - Eigentumsvorbehalt

"Dies gilt auch für künftig entstehende und bedingte Forderungen, z. B. aus Akzeptantenwechsel, und auch, wenn Zahlungen auf besonders bezeichnete Forderungen geleistet werden."

Romain i.a. has provided me with the following:
"Akzeptant m /-in f acceptor, drawee (who accepted bill)."
"Wechsel m II bill (of exchange), draft, (promissory) note"

bill / bill of exchange
Explanation:
IMO the term does not refer to the drawee or acceptor, but rather to the thing itself; nothing else makes sense to me

(plural, of course! :-)

The *bill/bill of exchange* is the physical note that\'s accepted by a individual or corporation.

*Acceptance* refers to the fact that the individual drawee signs the front of the bill and adds the word \"accepted* or to a credit/loan (AE) granted by banks to corporate customers, mainly to finance international transactions.

Thanks Silfilla (and to the others). I ended up finding what I think is the correct translation myself: "acceptor's bill".
In searching for an acceptable answer, I came across a couple of references to a German synonym, "umgekehrter Wechsel" (see page 21 here: http://www.uni-konstanz.de/FuF/Jura/fezer/Vorlesungsskript%20Wertpapierrecht.pdf). It seems to be a bill of exchange issued by the drawee/acceptor and somewhat 'questionable' financial instrument (cf. http://www.lrz-muenchen.de/~Lorenz/urteile/bghz56.htm).
Using that information, I also found "reverse bill of exchange" an ProZ-entry for a Dutch word "omkeerwissel" (see http://www.proz.com/?sp=h&id=172546), which is probably the same thing, but I couldn't find much else to support that translation.
I tried several combinations of "drawee" and "bill of exchange" or "time/Usance draft" and finally found a site supporting "acceptor's bill" (cf. http://www.sueddeutsche.de/app/wirtschaft/fachwoerterbuch/index.html?action=ergebnis&id=264).
Thanks for helping. :-)
