Document background
The Usage Agreement serves as a crucial legal framework for organizations providing services, products, or platforms to users in the Netherlands and potentially across the EU. This document type is essential when establishing a legally binding relationship between service providers and users, whether in a B2B or B2C context. The agreement must comply with Dutch civil law requirements and incorporate relevant EU regulations, particularly regarding consumer protection, data privacy (GDPR), and e-commerce. Usage Agreements are particularly important for digital services, software platforms, and online products, where clear terms of use and access rights need to be defined. The document typically covers essential aspects such as scope of use, user obligations, intellectual property rights, data protection, liability limitations, and termination conditions, all structured to be enforceable under Dutch jurisdiction.
