Document background
The Master Transfer Agreement is a fundamental document used in Dutch commercial practice for structuring and executing transfers of assets, rights, or business components. It serves as the primary agreement governing the relationship between transferor and transferee, establishing their rights and obligations under Dutch law. This document is particularly useful in scenarios involving multiple or ongoing transfers, as it provides a master framework that can be supplemented with specific transfer documents. The agreement needs to comply with Dutch civil law requirements, particularly those set out in the Burgerlijk Wetboek regarding property transfers and contract formation. It typically includes comprehensive provisions covering transfer mechanics, warranties, indemnities, and completion requirements, along with detailed schedules specifying the transferred items. The Master Transfer Agreement is commonly used in corporate restructurings, business sales, asset transfers, and other commercial transactions where a structured transfer framework is needed.
