Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

A few key choices determine the form of the agreement. Make these consciously in advance, as they determine your position in the event of a dispute.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Is payment made immediately or on credit? When delivering on credit, a retention of title (Art. 3:92 BW) is important so that you can reclaim the goods if the buyer fails to pay.
Do you buy or sell for business purposes or to a consumer? When selling to a consumer, mandatory protection rules apply (Book 7 of the Dutch Civil Code); business parties have greater contractual freedom.
Is the item being delivered used or new? For used items, document the condition and any warranty exclusion to prevent future disputes regarding defects.
When does the risk transfer? Agree whether the risk passes upon signing, payment, or actual delivery (Art. 7:10 BW), so that it is clear who bears the damage.
Do you want to provide guarantees or limit them? The scope of warranty and liability determines your risk after the sale; record this explicitly.
Clauses and provisions

Which items belong in a purchase agreement for movable property?

A complete purchase agreement for movable property contains at least the following components. This prevents disputes regarding what was sold, when, and how.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Parties Always Full name, address, and Chamber of Commerce number of buyer and seller, so that it is clear who is bound by what.
Description of the case Always Precise identification of the movable property (brand, type, serial number, condition), so that the delivered property can be verified against the agreement (Art. 7:17 BW).
Purchase price and payment Always Amount, VAT, payment term and payment method; for installment payments, the due dates.
Delivery and transfer of risk Always Place and time of delivery and when the risk passes to the buyer (Art. 7:10 BW).
Retention of title Upon delivery on credit The goods remain the property of the seller until full payment (Art. 3:92 BW), which provides security in the event of non-payment.
Warranties and conformity Often What the seller guarantees regarding condition and characteristics, and how defects are handled.
Duty to complain and investigate Recommended Time limit within which the buyer must complain about defects (aligns with Art. 7:23 of the Dutch Civil Code).
Dissolution and liability Recommended When parties may dissolve the agreement and how liability is limited.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

The document only works if you fill it out and apply it correctly. Follow these steps.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
For signature Check the description of the case and the details of both parties An incorrect or vague description makes it difficult to prove non-conformity (Art. 7:17 BW).
Upon signing Have both parties sign and keep a copy A signed copy serves as your proof of the agreements made.
Upon delivery Record what was delivered, when, and in what condition In this way, it is established when the risk passed and whether delivery was made in accordance with the contract (Art. 7:10 BW).
In the event of a lack File a written complaint within the agreed period Complaining too late may cause your right to rectification or dissolution to lapse (Art. 7:23 BW).
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

These errors occur frequently in practice and cost you unnecessary money or compromise your evidentiary position.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
Describe the case too vaguely Discussion regarding whether what was delivered matches the agreement Describe make, type, serial number, and condition accurately.
No retention of title on credit You cannot retrieve the item if the buyer does not pay Include a retention of title clause until full payment (Art. 3:92 BW).
Do not arrange risk transfer Unclear who bears the cost of loss or damage Explicitly determine the moment of transfer of risk (Art. 7:10 BW).
Do not agree on a complaint period Late complaints lead to evidentiary and legal problems Agree on a reasonable time limit for reporting defects (Art. 7:23 BW).
Do not record verbal agreements In a dispute, it is word against word Record all agreements in writing and have them signed.
Risk profile

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

Depending on your situation, the points of attention differ. Recognize your situation.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
You sell on credit You deliver now and get paid later Include a retention of title clause and clear payment terms (Art. 3:92 BW).
You are buying a used item The state of the matter is uncertain Have the condition and any defects documented in advance and check the warranty (Art. 7:17 BW).
You sell to a consumer Mandatory protection rules apply Take into account the statutory rules on conformity and warranty in Book 7 of the Dutch Civil Code.
High value or business-critical matter A dispute has a major impact Have warranty, liability, and delivery arranged efficiently and tailored to your needs.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

Sometimes a different or supplementary document suits your situation better. These documents align with that.

Situation Supplementary document Why
You will collaborate structurally with the other party Cooperation Agreement For ongoing agreements, a one-off purchase is insufficient; a cooperation agreement governs the broader relationship.
The buyer is not paying and you want to collect Debt collection If payment is not received, debt collection helps to recover your outstanding debt.
You share confidential information during the negotiation Confidentiality Agreement If you wish to protect sensitive business data before closing the deal, stipulate confidentiality separately.
Explanation of this document

Drafting a purchase agreement for movable property, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what a purchase agreement for movable property is, when you need one, and which risks it must cover. That is why we explain below what this document entails, what you should look out for, and why customized legal solutions are important.

What is a sales agreement for movable property?
A sales agreement for movable property is the agreement whereby ownership of a movable asset—an asset that is not immovable property—is transferred from seller to buyer in exchange for payment of a purchase price. The sales agreement for movable property is regulated in Section 7.1 of the Dutch Civil Code. It is the most basic form of contract in commercial and private trade: from the sale of a car to the sale of machinery, stocks, works of art, livestock, or raw materials. For commercial sales agreements exceeding a certain value, a written agreement containing specifications, warranties, and retention of title is highly recommended—even though an oral sales agreement is, in principle, legally valid. Our lawyers will draft a sales agreement for movable property for you that accurately describes the asset, correctly establishes the retention of title, clearly formulates the non-conformity clause, and legally secures the payment and delivery terms.
How do you arrange retention of title when selling movable property?
a retention of title clause is an essential protection mechanism for the seller. Pursuant to Article 3:92 of the Dutch Civil Code, the seller retains ownership of the sold item until the buyer has paid the purchase price in full. The retention of title must be expressly agreed upon in writing prior to delivery. Your sales agreement must stipulate that ownership only passes upon full payment, that the buyer may not resell or encumber the item as long as the retention of title is in effect, and that the seller may reclaim the item in the event of non-payment. In the sale of items that are processed by the buyer or mixed with other items — raw materials, ingredients — the retention of title loses its effect upon mixing. Our lawyers advise you on the effectiveness of the retention of title for your specific case.
How do you handle non-conformity and complaint periods?
Pursuant to Article 7:17 of the Dutch Civil Code, the delivered item must conform to the agreement — the conformity requirement. Pursuant to Article 7:23 of the Dutch Civil Code, the buyer must report a defect in a timely manner: for consumers, the complaint period is two months after discovery of the defect; for business buyers, a reasonable period applies, which depends on the circumstances and may be further specified in the agreement. Your purchase agreement for movable goods must explicitly set out the complaint period, describe the procedure for reporting defects, and regulate the remedies for non-conformity: repair, replacement, price reduction, or rescission. Our lawyers draft a conformity and complaint clause that aligns with the nature of the item.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
After a brief intake, our lawyers draft a purchase agreement for movable property that accurately describes the item, correctly establishes the retention of title, clearly formulates the non-conformity clause, and legally secures the payment and delivery terms.
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.

Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods

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.

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.
