Document background
The Standard Supplier Agreement serves as the primary contractual framework for businesses operating in the Netherlands to establish and manage their supplier relationships. This document is designed for use when a company needs to create a formal, legally compliant relationship with its suppliers under Dutch law. The agreement covers essential aspects such as supply terms, quality requirements, pricing, liability, and risk allocation, while ensuring compliance with Dutch civil code and relevant EU regulations. It is particularly suitable for ongoing supply relationships rather than one-off purchases and can be customized through its schedules to address specific industry requirements or commercial terms. The Standard Supplier Agreement includes both mandatory provisions required under Dutch law and common commercial terms that reflect market practice in the Netherlands.
