  • Attention to purchase price, payment, delivery, ownership, and transfer of risk

Custom choices

Which choices determine the content?

The correct structuring depends on what you are selling and to whom. These questions determine which clauses carry more weight.

Choice or question Why this matters legally
Do you sell to a business or to a consumer? Mandatory protection rules apply to sales to consumers; agreements to the detriment of the consumer are often invalid.
Is payment made immediately or later? With payment after delivery, a retention of title is important to be able to reclaim your goods if the buyer fails to pay.
Is this a one-off sale or a recurring supply? For recurring deliveries, a framework agreement or general terms and conditions are more logical than a separate agreement.
Who bears the risk during transport? Agree on the moment at which the risk transfers, so that it is clear who bears damage during transport.
Would you like to include guarantees or exclusions? The scope of warranties and liability strongly determines how the risk is distributed between the parties.
Clauses and provisions

Which elements belong in a sales agreement?

A complete sales agreement describes not only the price and the object, but also regulates delivery, risk, warranty, and what happens in the event of non-compliance. Below are the components we include as standard.

Provision Relevant to Legal point of attention
Parties and object Always Who is selling and buying, and exactly which item or items are involved, described as concretely as possible.
Purchase price and payment Always The amount, whether it is inclusive or exclusive of VAT, and the payment term or payment dates.
Delivery and transfer of risk Regarding physical items Place and time of delivery and from when the risk of damage or loss lies with the buyer.
Retention of title For payment after delivery The seller remains the owner until full payment, which offers protection in the event of the buyer's bankruptcy.
Warranty and conformity Often Which characteristics the item has and what the buyer may expect, in addition to the statutory requirement of conformity.
Non-performance and dissolution Recommended What parties can do in the event of breach of contract, including notice of default, dissolution, and any penalty.
Applicable law and disputes Recommended Which law applies and which court or form of dispute resolution has jurisdiction.
Signature Always Date and signature of both parties, where applicable with the authority of the signatory.
Use in practice

How do you use this document correctly?

An agreement is only effective if both parties are aware of it, sign it, and comply with it. Pay attention to the following points.

Situation What should you do? Point of attention
For signature Read the description of the item and price carefully Errors at the core of the agreement are difficult to rectify afterwards.
Upon signing Have both parties sign and keep a signed copy A signed copy serves as your proof of the agreements made.
Upon delivery Check whether what was agreed has been delivered and record any defects Filing a timely and written complaint preserves your rights in the event of a breach.
In case of changes Document changes in writing and have them signed again Oral changes are difficult to prove and lead to ambiguity.
Common mistakes

Common mistakes

We frequently see these errors, and they cost you your evidentiary position or money in a conflict.

Wrong Consequence Better approach
Object described too vaguely Discussion about exactly what was sold Describe the case concretely with quantities, type, condition, and characteristics.
No retention of title upon delivery on credit No recourse if the buyer does not pay or goes bankrupt Include a retention of title clause until full payment.
It is not clear whether the price is inclusive or exclusive of VAT Disagreement regarding the amount to be paid Always explicitly state whether amounts are inclusive or exclusive of VAT.
No agreements regarding transfer of risk Unclear who bears damage during transport Specify the moment at which the risk passes to the buyer.
Only verbal agreements No evidence if a conflict arises Record all agreements in writing and have both parties sign.
Risk profile

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

The points of attention vary depending on the situation. If you recognize your case, you know what to look out for.

Risk profile Example Focus in the document
Sales with payment after delivery You deliver before you are fully paid Retention of title and clear payment terms with consequences for late payment.
Sale of a more expensive or unique item A mistake in the agreement can end up costing a lot of money Accurate description, guarantees, and a clear risk allocation.
Delivery over a longer term or in parts The item will be delivered later or in phases Record for each partial delivery when delivery took place and when payment is due.
Sales to a consumer Mandatory consumer protection applies Provisions may not deviate from the law to the detriment of the consumer.
Additional documents

When is this document not enough?

Sometimes a different or supplementary agreement suits your situation better. These documents complement the sales agreement.

Situation Supplementary document Why
Situation Related document Explanation
You work structurally with the same party Cooperation Agreement With an ongoing relationship, you formalize the broader collaboration rather than individual sales.
You share confidential information before or during the deal Confidentiality Agreement Protects business-sensitive data that you share during negotiations or execution.
The buyer is not paying and you want to collect your debt Debt collection If payment is not received, our legal experts will help you collect the outstanding debt.
Explanation of this document

Drafting a sales agreement, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what sales agreements are, when they are needed, and which risks they must cover. That is why we explain below what this document entails, what to look out for, and why customized legal solutions are important.

What is a sales agreement?
A sales agreement is the agreement whereby a seller undertakes to transfer an object or right to a buyer, and the buyer undertakes to pay a purchase price for it. The sales agreement is regulated in Section 7.1 of the Dutch Civil Code and is the most basic form of contract in commercial transactions. It applies to the sale of movable and immovable property, rights, and other assets. In business practice, the sales agreement regulates the essentials of the sales transaction: the description of the object to be sold, the purchase price, the method of payment, delivery, retention of title, warranties, and the non-conformity clause. Our lawyers draft a sales agreement for you that correctly describes the object to be sold, effectively formulates the retention of title, correctly establishes the warranties and exclusions, and makes the non-performance clause enforceable.
How do you arrange warranties in a business sales agreement?
In business-to-business sales agreements — B2B — parties have more contractual freedom than in consumer sales. The seller may limit or exclude warranties for known defects that were visible upon normal inspection. A 'buy what he sees'clause for second-hand goods excludes the seller's liability for visible defects upon delivery. However, the conformity requirement of Article 7:17 of the Dutch Civil Code remains a minimum: the delivered item must meet normal expectations unless otherwise agreed. Your sales agreement must describe the warranties by category — what the seller expressly guarantees, and what he excludes — with a complaint period that provides clarity for both parties. Our lawyers draft a warranty clause that suits the nature of the item and the identity of the buyer.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
After a brief intake, our lawyers draft a sales agreement that correctly describes the property, effectively formulates the retention of title, properly establishes the warranties, and makes the non-performance clause enforceable.
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.

Customization per sales type

Not every sale involves the same risks. Therefore, we do not draft generic sales agreements, but tailor them to the object, condition, price, delivery, and warranties.

Business assets

Attention to description, condition, serial numbers, delivery, payment, warranty, and risk.

Stock

Attention to quantities, counting, quality, price, delivery, complaints, and returns.

Machines

Attention to inspection, maintenance, documentation, defects, safety, and liability.

Assets

Focus on property, warranties, contracts, personnel, transfer, and indemnification.

Vehicles

Attention to license plate, mileage, condition, indemnification, payment, and delivery.

International sales

Focus on Incoterms, currency, customs, export, law, forum, and transport.


A sales agreement must prevent the price agreement and delivery from remaining legally too vague. Therefore, we examine the object, condition, payment, ownership, risk, warranties, inspection, defects, penalties, dissolution, and liability.

Common mistakes in sales agreements

In sales, things often go wrong because parties rely on a quotation or invoice, while the core legal aspects are not fully arranged.

  • Do not precisely describe what is being sold
  • Do not record condition, quality, and known defects
  • Confusing transfer of ownership and transfer of risk
  • Insufficiently linking payment to delivery or ownership
  • Inspection, acceptance, and complaint period forgotten
  • Formulating guarantees too broadly or too vaguely
  • Leaving a financing or consent clause open
  • Do not regulate fines, dissolution, and consequences of non-performance

Draft your sales agreement carefully and avoid unnecessary problems in the future. Good agreements prevent disputes regarding purchase price, delivery, ownership, risk, warranties, defects, and payment.

What is a sales agreement?

An agreement in which seller and buyer make arrangements regarding the sale of an item, good, inventory, business asset, or other object.

What must be included in a sales agreement?

Including object, purchase price, payment, delivery, ownership, risk, warranties, inspection, defects, and dissolution.

When does ownership transfer?

That depends on the agreements and delivery. Clearly define the moment of ownership and payment terms.

Can I sell without a warranty?

In B2B transactions, much can be agreed upon, but wording and information regarding known defects remain important.

Can MKB Juristen review an existing sales agreement?

Yes. We check, among other things, the object, price, delivery, ownership, risk, warranties, defects, penalties, and liability.
