Custom choices

Which choices determine the content of your purchase agreement?

The right agreement depends on the transaction. These choices determine which provisions you need.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Do you sell to a consumer or to a business? In consumer sales, mandatory protection applies (Article 7:18 et seq. of the Dutch Civil Code), which you may not restrict to your detriment.
Do you deliver before or after full payment? If you supply on credit, a retention of title is essential.
Is it a simple or a complex case? For machines, inventory, or a company, warranties and indemnities carry more weight.
Do you sell remotely, for example online? In that case, a right of withdrawal and an additional duty to provide information often apply.
Who bears transport and risk? Specify when the risk transfers and who arranges transport and insurance.
Clauses and provisions

What belongs in a purchase agreement?

Which provisions you need depends on what you sell and to whom you sell. These are the components that cause the most discussion in practice, with the legal focus our lawyers pay attention to for each component.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Parties and description of the case Always Identify the buyer and seller and describe the item accurately (brand, type, condition); a vague description leads to disputes regarding non-conformity (Article 7:17 of the Dutch Civil Code).
Purchase price and payment Always Record the price, VAT, terms, and consequences of late payment; in the event of default, statutory interest is due (Articles 6:119 and 6:119a of the Dutch Civil Code).
Delivery and transfer of risk Always In principle, the risk passes upon delivery (Article 7:10 of the Dutch Civil Code); record when and where delivery takes place.
Retention of title Upon delivery upon full payment The asset remains your property until full payment has been made (Article 3:92 of the Dutch Civil Code); without this clause, you lose your security in the event of bankruptcy.
Conformity and warranty Always The item must conform to the agreement (Article 7:17 of the Dutch Civil Code); specify any warranty and its duration.
Liability Always Limit liability; towards consumers, an overly broad exclusion is easily unreasonably burdensome.
Right of complaint and dissolution In case of non-payment Rule regarding the recovery of the property (Article 7:39 of the Dutch Civil Code) and the grounds for dissolution.
Applicable law and disputes Always Choose Dutch law and the competent court, so that a dispute proceeds predictably.
Use in practice

How do you use a purchase agreement correctly?

The agreement protects you only if you use it at the right moments. Please note the following.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
Before delivery Record the agreements in writing and have both parties sign them A verbal purchase is valid, but difficult to prove.
Upon delivery on credit Include a retention of title clause Without this clause, you lose the case in the event of non-payment or bankruptcy.
Upon delivery Have the buyer inspect the item and document its condition An early check prevents later conformity disputes.
In the event of a lack File a complaint and document in a timely manner Complaining too late may limit your rights (Article 7:23 of the Dutch Civil Code).
Common mistakes

Common mistakes in a purchase agreement

We see these errors most often in practice, and the consequences are greater than expected.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
No retention of title upon delivery on credit No security in the event of the buyer's bankruptcy Include a retention of title clause (Article 3:92 of the Dutch Civil Code).
Vague description of the case Discussion regarding non-conformity Describe the item accurately according to brand, type, and condition.
Do not arrange risk transfer Uncertainty about who bears the damage Recording the moment of risk transfer.
Restricting consumer rights The clause is void Respect mandatory protection for consumers.
Using a free internet model Provisions do not fit the transaction Tailor-made solutions for your case and the opposing party.
Risk profile

What type of purchase do you have and what do you look out for?

The emphasis in the agreement varies by transaction. If you recognize your situation, you know where the focus should lie.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
Sale on credit Delivery with later payment Retention of title and security for payment.
Sale of expensive or complex items Machines, stocks, inventory Conformity, warranties and transfer of risk.
Sales to consumers Private buyers Mandatory consumer protection and right of withdrawal.
International purchase Buyer or business abroad Applicable law, the Vienna Sales Convention and dispute resolution.
Additional documents

When do you need a more specific agreement?

This general purchase agreement suits most transactions. In these situations, you need a more specific version.

Situation Supplementary document Why
You buy or sell individual movable assets Purchase agreement for movable property For the purchase of goods with the appropriate specific provisions.
You are buying or selling an entire company Business purchase agreement A business acquisition requires guarantees and indemnities in a separate agreement.
You supply more often with your own terms and conditions Terms of Delivery For recurring sales, you establish general terms and conditions of delivery.
Explanation of this document

Drafting a purchase agreement, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what a 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 customized legal solutions are important.

What is a purchase agreement?

A sales agreement is the arrangement whereby the seller delivers an item and the buyer pays a price for it (Article 7:1 of the Dutch Civil Code). A purchase is also valid orally, but without a written record, it is difficult to prove what was agreed upon afterwards. Especially in valuable or commercial transactions, a well-drafted sales agreement prevents disputes regarding price, delivery, and defects.

When do you need a purchase agreement?

As soon as you buy or sell an asset of any value — machinery, stock, a car, inventory, or an entire business — a written purchase agreement is advisable. The greater the stake or risk, the more important it is that the agreements are watertight.

What belongs in a purchase agreement?

A strong sales agreement regulates, in any case, the parties, an accurate description of the goods, the price and payment, delivery and the moment of transfer of risk, retention of title, warranty and conformity, liability, and dispute resolution. Which provisions carry the most weight depends on what you are selling and to whom.

Retention of title: do not deliver without security

If you deliver before the buyer has paid in full, include a retention of title clause (Article 3:92 of the Dutch Civil Code). The goods then remain your property until full payment has been made. Without this clause, you lose your security if the buyer fails to pay or goes bankrupt.

Conformity and transfer of risk

The delivered item must conform to the agreement (Article 7:17 of the Dutch Civil Code). Therefore, describe precisely what you are delivering. In principle, the risk passes at the moment of delivery (Article 7:10 of the Dutch Civil Code); record when and where delivery takes place, so that it is clear who bears the damage if something goes wrong en route.

Consumer purchase or business purchase?

If you sell to a consumer, mandatory protection applies (Article 7:18 et seq. of the Dutch Civil Code), which you may not restrict to the detriment of the buyer, and in the case of distance selling, often a right of withdrawal. In the case of a business purchase, you have more freedom to record agreements at your own discretion.

Right of reclamation and dissolution in case of non-payment

If the buyer fails to pay, you may, subject to conditions, reclaim the delivered item via the right of reclamation (Article 7:39 of the Dutch Civil Code) or dissolve the agreement. A clear provision in the contract makes these steps faster and more certain.

Have a purchase agreement drawn up

Our legal experts draft a custom-made purchase agreement that suits your case, your counterparty, and your risk — with the right provisions regarding retention of title, transfer of risk, and warranty. With a fixed price upfront and a free consultation.

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.

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

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.
