The Letter of Intent Request is a crucial preliminary document in Dutch business practice, typically used when a company wishes to formally initiate negotiations for a significant business transaction or collaboration. It serves as the first formal step in a potential transaction, combining elements of business courtesy with legal prudence. While not a binding agreement for the main transaction, certain provisions (such as confidentiality and exclusivity) may create legally binding obligations under Dutch law. The document should be drafted with careful consideration of Dutch legal principles, particularly the doctrine of pre-contractual good faith (redelijkheid en billijkheid) and the Plas/Valburg doctrine regarding pre-contractual liability. It typically includes proposed key terms, timeline, and process for negotiations, while clearly stating its non-binding nature for the main transaction.
