Document background
The Standard Agreement of Sale (Standaard Koopovereenkomst) is a fundamental commercial document used in the Netherlands for documenting sales transactions between parties. It is designed to comply with Dutch civil law requirements, particularly the provisions of the Burgerlijk Wetboek (Dutch Civil Code) regarding sales contracts. This template is suitable for both business-to-business and business-to-consumer transactions, though specific provisions may need adjustment depending on the nature of the parties involved. The document covers all essential aspects of a sale, including detailed description of goods, pricing structures, delivery terms, warranties, and risk transfer. It incorporates mandatory Dutch law provisions while maintaining flexibility to accommodate various commercial contexts and sector-specific requirements.
