If you are a (potential) supplier or other contractor, your company details are also necessary for the conclusion and execution of the agreement. When purchasing, this is necessary to let you know which specifications or wishes a certain item or service must meet, to be able to send a request for quotation or to place an order, to be able to pay your invoices and to communicate with you quickly and efficiently.

You are not obliged to provide your company details. However, if you don’t provide us or provide us with insufficient company information, it is possible that we will not be able to carry out the aforementioned activities.
