Document background
This Private Label Contract template is designed for use under Dutch law when establishing manufacturing and supply relationships where products are produced under a brand owner's trademark. It's particularly relevant when a company wants to outsource manufacturing while maintaining control over product specifications and brand identity. The document incorporates requirements from the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek) and relevant EU regulations, making it suitable for both domestic and European private label arrangements. It includes comprehensive provisions for quality control, intellectual property protection, regulatory compliance, and risk allocation, essential for protecting both manufacturers and brand owners in private label relationships. This contract type is commonly used in retail and consumer goods sectors, but can be adapted for various industries where branded manufacturing is required.
