Document background
The Buy and Sell Contract is a fundamental commercial agreement used to document and formalize transactions involving the transfer of goods or assets from a seller to a buyer under Dutch law. This document is essential for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions in the Netherlands, incorporating requirements from the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and relevant EU regulations. It should be used whenever there is a need to clearly document the terms of a sale, particularly for significant transactions or where specific conditions need to be attached to the sale. The contract typically includes detailed information about the goods being sold, price, payment terms, delivery conditions, warranties, and risk transfer. It also addresses important aspects such as inspection rights, acceptance procedures, and remedies for breach, while ensuring compliance with Dutch legal requirements for sale agreements.
