Dutch law does not require entrepreneurs to draw up general terms and conditions. Yet it is highly advisable to do so, especially in the early stages of your business. Many starting entrepreneurs think that general terms and conditions are superfluous and only useful for large companies. Nothing could be further from the truth. General terms and conditions are your company's ground rules through which you conduct business with your customers. They make clear at once what each other's mutual rights and obligations are. The same goes for a privacy policy and cookie statement, by which you explain to your clients which personal information you collect and for what purpose.

Every industry and company has different interests that are important to them. This also applies to the risks involved. Together, we will look at which rules are essential for your business and how these fit the law. In the end, it all depends on how you arrange it in your legal documents. Clearly negotiated agreements are the best way to avoid legal disputes with clients, as they set mutual expectations of each other in writing.

Apart from the legal backbone of your company, additional contracts are needed as well in order to grow your business successfully. Each document or contract requires involves different interests. After all, a shareholder agreement is not the same as a non-disclosure- or service level agreement. Legal Future goes a step further by not just delivering documents, but explaining them to you so you can work with them and explain them to your clients and business partners.
