Document background
The Master Contract Agreement is designed to serve as a comprehensive framework document that governs the overall business relationship between parties operating under Belgian law. It is particularly useful when parties anticipate multiple transactions or services over time and want to avoid negotiating terms for each individual transaction. The agreement incorporates essential Belgian legal requirements and EU regulations, covering aspects such as contract formation, performance standards, liability provisions, data protection, and dispute resolution. It includes both mandatory provisions required by Belgian law and customary commercial terms, making it suitable for various business relationships ranging from service provision to supply arrangements. The document typically serves as the foundation for subsequent specific agreements or purchase orders, which can be executed more efficiently once this master framework is in place.
