intalments relating to the year designated in the contract
The expiry date of the contract shall be the 31 December of each year and, as a rule (save for specific agreements to the contrary, to be included in the contract), only instalments relating to the year designated in the contract shall be invoiced in the current calendar year.
You could replace instalments with "amounts".
The “ratei” here are just instalments or amounts Sarah. There is non interest concerned. The word accrued is used for “accrued expenses” which is amounts at the end of the year which you haven’t paid yet because the bill is due every two months say, but it isn’t the case here.

the instalments due in the year
This is not the normal meaning of ratei in relation to "competenza" where it is normally related to accruals and prepayments. In this case it refers to the scheduled payments under the contract

: Not to worry, I'd already answered it privately for Sarah complaining that she was "stealing" my points by not posting it, but also adding that it was incredibly useful to see what others thought.

scheduled instalments
Piggy-backing Jean's scheduled payments idea, whilst nell'anno solare suggests the annual idea is already in there and need not be repeated.
Example sentence:
Before or after default in payment of a scheduled instalment of a transaction, the parties to the transaction may agree in writing to a ...
