Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

The content of your purchase agreement depends on a number of key choices. These determine which clauses are necessary and which risks you cover.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Is payment made immediately or in installments? When paying in installments or paying later, a retention of title clause is advisable so that the seller remains the owner until full payment has been made.
Are you buying "as is" or with a warranty? In a sale "as is", the seller limits their liability for defects; a buyer, on the other hand, wants guarantees regarding the condition and functionality.
Does the inventory belong to a business transfer? If the inventory forms part of the acquisition of a business, coordination with the broader purchase agreement and any potential transfer of personnel is necessary.
Are there any third-party items involved? Leased or rented items or items subject to retention of title may not be sold together without permission; this must be explicitly excluded.
Is there a fixed or variable inventory? For fluctuating inventory or consumables, a reference date and counting moment are required to record the delivered items.
Clauses and provisions

Which items belong in an inventory purchase agreement?

A complete inventory purchase agreement describes not only the price, but also the items themselves, delivery, and liability. The components below ensure that both parties know where they stand.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Parties Always Full name, Chamber of Commerce number, and business address of buyer and seller, so that it is clear who is entering into the agreement.
Description of the inventory Always Specific list or attachment with all sold items, preferably including quantities, brand, type, and condition; prevents disputes regarding what was included in the sale.
Purchase price and VAT Always Amount, whether it is inclusive or exclusive of VAT, and the method and term of payment.
Delivery and transfer of risk Always Place and date of delivery and the moment at which the risk passes to the buyer (Art. 7:10 BW).
Retention of title For payment in installments or later The seller remains the owner until the purchase price has been paid in full (Art. 3:92 BW); protects the seller in the event of non-payment.
Condition and warranties Often Whether the inventory is delivered "as is" or with warranties; agreements regarding conformity and visible and hidden defects (Art. 7:17 BW).
Indemnification of third-party rights Recommended Declaration that the assets are free from pledge, lease, or hire-purchase by third parties.
Applicable law and disputes Recommended Choice of Dutch law and the competent court.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

An inventory purchase agreement is only valid if both parties sign it at the right time and adhere to the agreements. Follow the steps below.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
For delivery Draw up an inventory list together and attach it to the agreement In this way, it is indisputably established which items are being sold and in what condition.
Upon signing Have both parties sign before the assets are transferred Prevents delivery without the terms being fixed.
Upon delivery Check the items against the list and note any discrepancies A buyer must complain about defects within a reasonable time (Art. 7:23 BW).
After payment Keep the proof of payment and the signed agreement With a retention of title clause, ownership transfers only after full payment; documentation prevents subsequent disputes.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

In an inventory purchase agreement, problems usually arise with the description of the items and liability. The errors listed below are the most common.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
Vague description such as "the complete inventory" Discussion about what was and wasn't included in the sale Attach a detailed inventory list.
No retention of title for payment in installments Seller loses ownership while buyer has not yet paid Include a retention of title clause until full payment (Art. 3:92 BW).
No agreement on VAT Disagreement as to whether the price is inclusive or exclusive of VAT Explicitly state whether the purchase price is inclusive or exclusive of VAT.
No indemnification of third-party rights It turns out afterwards that an item is leased or pledged Have the seller declare that the goods are unencumbered and free from third-party rights.
Buyer complains about defects too late The buyer loses his rights Check upon delivery and report defects within a reasonable time (Art. 7:23 BW).
Risk profile

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

Depending on your role and the nature of the transaction, the points of attention differ. Recognize your situation.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
You are a seller You are transferring inventory and want to be sure of payment Pay attention to retention of title, limitation of warranties, and a comprehensive inventory list.
You are the buyer You are taking over inventory and want to know what you are getting Pay attention to the condition of the goods, warranties, indemnification against third-party rights, and the operation of the equipment.
Part of business transfer The inventory is part of the acquisition of the company Align the inventory agreements with the broader acquisition documentation and any goodwill.
Sales between entrepreneurs Both parties are business-like and subject to VAT Record VAT, invoices, and any small business scheme correctly.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

An inventory purchase agreement governs the sale of movable property. If it concerns more than just inventory, you will need additional documents.

Situation Supplementary document Why
You are buying or selling an entire business Business purchase agreement When acquiring a complete business, a broader agreement is required, in which inventory is only a component.
The buyer does not pay Debt collection If payment is not received, you may have the claim collected and, if necessary, invoke the retention of title.
You work together on a structural basis with the other party Cooperation Agreement In the case of an ongoing business relationship, you record the broader agreements alongside the individual purchase.
Explanation of this document

Drafting an inventory purchase agreement, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what an inventory purchase agreement is, when you need them, and which risks they must cover. That is why we explain below what this document entails, what you should look out for, and why legal customization is important.

What is a purchase agreement for inventory?
An inventory purchase agreement is the agreement whereby the buyer of a business — or a buyer purchasing business inventory separately — takes over the seller's movable assets: furniture, equipment, machinery, vehicles, fixtures, and other business assets. The inventory purchase agreement governs the transfer of ownership of the individual movable assets, the purchase price, the delivery procedure upon handover, warranties regarding the condition and operation of the assets, and the consequences of hidden defects. In the case of a business acquisition, the inventory purchase agreement is often part of or an appendix to the business purchase agreement. In the case of the separate purchase of second-hand business assets, it is a standalone document. Our lawyers will draft an inventory purchase agreement for you that comprehensively describes the inventory list, correctly documents the condition upon handover, clearly formulates the warranties and exclusions, and properly regulates the transfer of ownership.
How do you describe the inventory correctly and prevent disputes upon handover?
An accurate inventory list attached is the foundation of a good inventory purchase agreement. Every movable asset being transferred must be described individually: type, make, year of manufacture, serial number or inventory number, and its condition at the time the agreement is concluded. For valuable machinery or equipment: include photos as part of the attachment. The condition of the inventory at the time of transfer is recorded in an inspection report. If the inspection report is missing, the question arises in the event of a later dispute as to whether the defects were already present at the time of transfer or arose afterwards. Our lawyers will prepare an inventory list and inspection report for you that prevents disputes afterwards.
What warranties does the seller provide and what exclusions are customary?
When purchasing business inventory, the seller typically provides limited warranties. The seller guarantees that he is the owner of the inventory and can transfer it freely. For new inventory, he guarantees that the items are free from hidden defects. For second-hand inventory and business buyers, a 'buy as is' clause is common: the buyer accepts the items in their current condition, excluding the seller's liability for defects that the buyer could have discovered during a normal inspection. For consumers, statutory conformity laws apply, and warranties for second-hand items may be limited to one year. Our lawyers draft a warranty clause that suits the nature of the inventory and the identity of the buyer.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
After a brief intake, our lawyers draw up a purchase agreement inventory including an exhaustive inventory list, a survey report to be signed by both parties, a clear warranty and exclusion framework, and a proper arrangement for the transfer of ownership.
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
SME Lawyers
Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks
Possibly outdated or incomplete
Verification of current and practical provisions
No personal explanation
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

Trade, supply & wholesale

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.
