Document background
The Rejecting Counter Offer document is a crucial tool in Belgian commercial negotiations, used when an original offeror needs to formally decline terms proposed in a counter offer. This document is essential in various business contexts where the original terms of an offer have been modified by the receiving party, and those modifications are not acceptable to the original offeror. Under Belgian law, particularly the Civil Code (Code Civil/Burgerlijk Wetboek), such rejections must be clear and unambiguous, while adhering to principles of good faith in commercial negotiations. The document typically includes acknowledgment of the counter offer receipt, clear rejection statement, and may address the status of the original offer. It serves both legal and business purposes by creating a clear record of the negotiation process while maintaining professional relationships.
