Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

Before drafting the agreement, you make a number of choices that determine the content and legal position. Below are the most important questions.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Are you purely an intermediary or also a contracting party? In genuine mediation, you merely bring parties together; if you act as an intermediary, you conclude agreements yourself and different liability rules apply.
How is the mediation fee calculated? A fixed amount, an hourly rate, or a percentage of the contract sum each has implications for invoicing, VAT, and transparency towards the client.
How is the employment relationship defined? Clear agreements regarding independence prevent the relationship from being classified as employment; this is essential for the tax assessment.
What liability do you accept? Determine whether you are responsible only for the mediation or also for the professional's performance, and limit your liability in money and time.
Do the BOVIB model provisions apply? As a BOVIB member, you can apply the model terms and conditions and code of conduct, which aligns with the quality mark and the expectations of clients.
Clauses and provisions

Which components should be included in a BOVIB mediation agreement?

A complete BOVIB mediation agreement describes the roles of the three parties involved, the mediation assignment, and the financial and legal conditions. The components below form the basis for a usable and BOVIB-compliant document.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Parties and roles Always Name the client, intermediary/broker, and the independent professional, including their exact capacity and Chamber of Commerce details.
Description of the mediation Always Stipulate that you exclusively bring parties together and do not personally execute the assignment or provide direction.
Brokerage fee and invoicing Always Determine the fee amount, the calculation method (hourly, fixed, or percentage), VAT, and payment terms.
Term and termination Always Rules regarding the commencement, duration, extension, and manner of termination of the mediation relationship.
Liability and indemnification Always Limit your liability as an intermediary and indemnify against damage arising from the work performed by the professional.
Compliance with BOVIB quality mark and code of conduct Among BOVIB members Refer to the BOVIB Code of Conduct and the quality mark, and the resulting obligations.
Processing of personal data Regarding data exchange Make agreements regarding the GDPR-compliant processing of personal data of the professional and candidates.
Confidentiality and non-competition Often Protect confidential data and prevent parties from bypassing you as a mediator.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

A well-drafted agreement only works if you use it at the right moments and apply it consistently. Follow the steps below.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
At the start of the mediation Sign the agreement before the professional starts the assignment. In this way, the agreements are formalized before financial or legal obligations arise.
With every new assignment Document the specific assignment and fee per assignment in an attachment or order confirmation. Prevents ambiguity regarding which agreements belong to which assignment.
During the performance Ensure that you limit yourself to mediation and do not give instructions to the professional. Preserves the independent nature of the relationship and limits the qualification risk.
In case of amendment or extension Record amendments in writing with the consent of all parties. Ensures that the document continues to reflect the actual agreements and remains enforceable.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

With mediation agreements, things often go wrong on a few recurring points. Avoid the mistakes below.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
Confusing mediation and execution The tax authorities may assume a (fictitious) employment relationship, resulting in additional tax assessments. Bake the roles tightly and stipulate that you are acting solely as an intermediary.
No clear fee agreement Dispute and unpaid invoices on the final settlement. Clearly define the method of calculation, amount, VAT, and payment term.
Do not limit liability You are liable for damage caused by the professional. Include a limitation of liability and indemnification.
Forgot GDPR agreements Risk of complaints and fines when processing personal data. Regulate the data processing and, if necessary, refer to a data processing agreement.
Do not record verbal agreements In the event of a dispute, it is impossible to prove what was agreed upon. Record all (amended) agreements in writing and signed.
Risk profile

What is your situation and what do you pay attention to?

The correct approach depends on your role and the nature of the mediation. If you recognize your situation below, you know what to look out for.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
You are a pure mediator You bring client and professional together for a fee, without performing the assignment yourself. Define your role clearly and avoid any appearance of leadership or authority.
You act as a broker You enter into agreements with both parties yourself and invoice between them. Carefully manage your own contractual obligations, liability, and payment flows.
You are mediating for a longer period There is an ongoing relationship with recurring assignments. Establish a framework agreement with a separate order confirmation for each assignment.
You work under the BOVIB quality mark Clients expect compliance with the code of conduct and model terms and conditions. Align with the BOVIB standards and refer to them explicitly in the agreement.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

A mediation agreement covers the relationship between you and the other parties, but not every situation. In the cases below, you will need additional documents.

Situation Supplementary document Why
You will be working structurally with a partner Related document For a sustainable collaboration, you record the mutual obligations and division in a cooperation agreement.
You exchange personal data with a processor Related document When processing personal data on behalf of another party, a GDPR-compliant data processing agreement is required.
You share confidential business information Related document To protect sensitive data and relationships, you establish confidentiality separately.
Explanation of this document

Drafting a BOVIB Mediation Agreement, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what drafting a BOVIB brokerage agreement entails, when you need one, and which risks they must cover. Therefore, we explain below what this document involves, what you should look out for, and why legal customization is important.

What is a BOVIB mediation agreement?
The BOVIB Mediation Agreement is the model agreement developed by the Trade Association for Intermediaries and Brokers — BOVIB — and approved by the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration as a model agreement for the mediation of self-employed professionals. The BOVIB Model Agreement was established to provide mediation agencies and the self-employed professionals they place with the assurance that the triangular relationship — agency, self-employed professional, client — does not qualify as an employment contract with the self-employed professional. The model is based on pure mediation: the agency mediates the assignment but does not act as an employer or an intermediary who lends out the self-employed professional. The self-employed professional enters into a direct assignment agreement with the end client; the agency receives a mediation fee. Our lawyers assess whether the BOVIB Model Agreement is suitable for your specific situation, draft a customized, BOVIB-compliant mediation agreement, and advise you on its alignment with the assignment agreement between the self-employed professional and the end client.
How does the BOVIB structure work and what are the benefits of the DBA Act?
The strength of the BOVIB structure lies in the strict separation between the mediation relationship and the contracting relationship. The agency concludes a mediation agreement with the self-employed professional and a separate mediation agreement with the client. The self-employed professional subsequently concludes a direct contract for services with the end client. The agency is not a party to the contract for services and has no hierarchical relationship with the self-employed professional regarding the execution of the assignment. This distinguishes the BOVIB structure from a secondment arrangement in which the agency, acting as an intermediary, appoints and secondments the self-employed professional — a structure that carries a greater risk of bogus self-employment. The Tax and Customs Administration has approved the BOVIB model agreement, but please note: approval of the model does not provide a guarantee if the actual implementation deviates from the model structure. Our lawyers advise you on the correct implementation of the BOVIB structure.
When is the BOVIB model agreement no longer suitable?
The BOVIB model agreement is not suitable for every situation. If the agency plays an active role in managing the self-employed professional—giving instructions regarding working methods, attending evaluations, or acting as the sole contact person between the self-employed professional and the client—then the actual execution is no longer in line with the BOVIB structure, and the approval loses its protective effect. Additional legal advice is also required in situations where the self-employed professional works structurally for the same client through the same agency, or where the agency unilaterally determines the rates. Our lawyers will assess whether your specific situation fits the BOVIB model structure or whether another contract form is more appropriate.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
After a brief intake, our lawyers map out the factual relationships within your mediation structure and assess whether the BOVIB model agreement applies. Based on this, we draft a , BOVIB-compliant mediation agreement and advise you on its alignment with the contract for services between the self-employed professional and the end client.
Are you unsure whether your document is legally correct? We would be happy to assess the sensible course of action: drafting, reviewing, or amending.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document

Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation

Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
