Document background
The Agreement of Sale Contract is a fundamental legal instrument in Belgian commercial and civil law, used to document and formalize the transfer of ownership of goods, property, or assets from one party to another. This document is essential for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions in Belgium, incorporating requirements from the Belgian Civil Code, EU regulations, and specific sector-related legislation. The agreement serves multiple purposes: it defines the exact nature of the transaction, establishes the rights and obligations of both parties, sets out payment and delivery terms, and provides legal protection for both seller and buyer. When drafting an Agreement of Sale Contract under Belgian law, particular attention must be paid to language requirements (depending on the region), consumer protection regulations if applicable, and specific formalities required for certain types of sales (such as notarial deeds for real estate).
