General Terms and Conditions

This topic is never given sufficient attention: as an entrepreneur, you reach agreements with a commercial partner on deliveries, collaboration or automation of your company. In many cases, the general terms and conditions supplement these agreements, the proverbial "small print". The general terms and conditions are the foundation of your business activity. They establish commitments and contribute transparency. When in a first contract, general terms and conditions are only shown on the invoice, it is too late. The counterpart should know them beforehand or during the execution of the contract.

The mere mention on their letterhead paper that their general terms and conditions are established is ineffective, since the other party should also know their content. Unfortunately, many people only resort to a lawyer when a legal dispute arises. This often results in higher costs, which could have been saved by receiving advice in time.

With the appropriate general terms and conditions, future problems can be prevented. Therefore, it is essential that they be drawn up and read carefully and attentively.

It may also happen that there is no legal dispute, and you simply need legal advice. Good advice can prevent court disputes. Also, you may need advice on your position when the litigation has already been filed, to be better informed about how to act and what to avoid.

Gimbrère International Advocaten can offer you advice, evaluating general terms and conditions and, if necessary, adapting them or drawing them up.
