A committed core team, supplemented by a flexible network of specialists, scalable where necessary.
Contracts and collaborations
We draft contracts for all kinds of partnerships and exploitation models, such as joint product or content development and exploitation, brand and other IP licences, partnerships with influencers or public figures, sponsorship, licence structures and bespoke (usage) rights. We can also supervise the negotiations if desired.
We write or optimise terms and conditions. We have extensive experience in making agreements with parties (third parties, freelancers or employees) involved in the innovation or creation of IP, or who contribute to the creation or publication of content. We advise and, where necessary, litigate regarding disagreements in the execution of contracts and collaborations.
Frequently asked Questions
Over hoe wij werken en wat je van ons mag verwachten.
-
For a valid agreement, a signed contract is not strictly required in the Netherlands. Agreements made via email or WhatsApp can also be binding, as long as it is clear what the parties have reached agreement on. This means that, legally speaking, you can also request the other party to fulfil the agreements made therein on the basis of an email.
-
If you haven't made any (written) agreements with a freelancer, the freelancer in principle retains the IP (intellectual property rights) to what they create for you. It is therefore important, preferably in advance, to make agreements about who holds those rights and/or under what conditions they may be used.
-
Terms and conditions are not mandatory, but it is certainly wise to use conditions of sale at the very least. These allow you to include standard agreements regarding liability, payment and delivery, for example. You can always fall back on these agreements. Just make sure that you provide these terms and conditions to the other party in the correct manner and declare them applicable, otherwise you run the risk that the conditions do not apply.
-
If your collaborative partner fails to honour the agreements made, you can in principle demand performance of the agreement. It is important to have your options assessed. Which steps you can take and how you should take them depends on the agreements in the contract and the circumstances of your situation. We are happy to advise you on the best approach.
-
If you have entered into a contract without an explicit end date or notice period, it is a continuous performance contract. A continuous performance contract is in principle terminable. A reasonable notice period must be observed for this. What is reasonable depends on the circumstances, such as the duration of the cooperation, the degree of dependency on the other party and the time the other party needs to find alternatives.
Even sparren?
We combine a dedicated core team with a flexible network of specialists. This allows us to scale up, depending on the demand — both nationally and internationally.
