Important tips

You may choose to use general terms. General terms owe their popularity to the fact that they enable you to make your deals much faster. When using general terms, you can limit your assignment agreement and include solely the key topics, such as the price and the duration. However, make sure you use the general terms correctly. Not only should the offer refers to the general terms, you are also legally obligated to provide the terms (ter hand stellen) to your client. It is not required that the client actually reads the terms, but your client should at least have the possibility to read the general terms. If this is not done properly, a court could rule that your terms are not applicable. Of course, you are not obliged to make use of general terms. You may also include all details in the actual contract or offer. This, however, makes the assignment agreement rather long and an enormously time-consuming practice.
