Document background
The Contract of Sale and Agreement to Sell is a fundamental commercial document used in the Netherlands to formalize sales transactions and future sales commitments. This document is essential when parties wish to establish legally binding obligations for the transfer of goods or property, whether in immediate sales or future arrangements. It complies with Dutch Civil Code requirements and can be adapted for both domestic and international trade. The agreement typically includes comprehensive details about the sale object, pricing, delivery terms, warranties, and risk transfer, while incorporating necessary consumer protections when applicable. Used across various industries, this contract type can be customized to address specific transaction requirements while maintaining compliance with Dutch legal frameworks and, where relevant, EU regulations and international trade conventions.
