Biedboek.nl disclaimer

  1. In order to facilitate (intended) public sale and/or tender procedures in relation to objects, plots of land and/or real rights or rights of use offered by the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, the Central Government Real Estate Agency (‘CGREA’) has created the ‘biedboek.nl’ website (‘Website’); the Website includes an overview of:
  2. objects or plots of land that are currently being offered for sale or that are expected to be offered for sale in the future (‘Objects’) by the CGREA or other non-departmental public bodies affiliated with the central government, other public authorities and/or public-law bodies (jointly: ‘Public Authorities’); and
  3. tender procedures initiated or planned by the CGREA with respect to rights of use for fuel stations alongside public motorways or plots of land (including leasehold and plots to rent) and/or real rights that may be acquired in order to undertake commercial activities, including wind turbines or solar energy parks (‘CGREA Rights’);
  4. the tender procedures initiated or planned by the Public Authorities with respect to rights of use for plots of land (including leasehold and plots to rent) and/or real rights that may be acquired in order to undertake commercial activities, including wind turbines or solar energy parks (‘Public Authorities Rights’); and
  5. information relating to the Objects and/or Rights, which pertains to the sale of the Objects and/or the tendering of the Rights (‘Documentation’). This disclaimer is a general description of the (liability) restrictions that are applicable to the Website and to the Documentation that it provides.
  6. The CGREA and the Public Authorities are hereinafter also jointly referred to as: ‘Public Authority’. The CGREA Rights and the Public Authorities Rights are hereinafter also jointly referred to as: ‘Rights’.
  7. The fact that the Objects and/or the CGREA Rights and/or the Public Authorities Rights are included on the Website, in any form and in any manner, does not imply an offer on the part of the Public Authority in question. Any parties that are interested (‘Interested Parties’) may derive no rights from their inclusion or mention on the Website, explicitly including the right to participate in any sale process initiated by the CGREA or the Public Authorities in relation to Objects (‘Sale Procedure’) or any tender procedure initiated by the CGREA or the Public Authorities in relation to the CGREA Rights or the Public Authorities Rights (‘Tender Procedure’), or to enter into negotiations with the CGREA or the Public Authorities.
  8. The fact that an Interested Party is given the opportunity to:
  9. view the Objects prior to the formal commencement of the Sale Procedure; and/or
  10. view the real estate to which the Rights will apply (‘Real Estate’) prior to the formal commencement of the Tender Procedure; and/or
  11. hold meetings or consultations with the CGREA, the Public Authorities or its consultants in any form or in any manner, in no way implies that the Interested Parties may derive any legal rights therefrom, explicitly including the right to participate in a Sale Procedure or Tender Procedure or the right to enter into negotiations with the CGREA or the Public Authorities. Neither will the CGREA or the Public Authorities be subject to any (pre-contractual) obligations of any kind as a result.
  12. The Website and all Documentation included on it is solely intended to enable Interested Parties to conduct their own research, or to have research conducted on their behalf, in order to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the information provided. The following shall apply in relation to the above: (i) all descriptions, dimensions, photographs, plans and other data relating to the (structural) specifications of the Objects and/or Real Estate and all other information included in the Documentation, are based on information that is currently known to the best knowledge of the CGREA or the Public Authorities. These data may be subject to change. With regard to the structural condition of the Objects and/or Real Estate, discrepancies may occur in the information that is included in the Documentation in relation to building specifications, plans etc., by virtue of its current use of or alterations made to the Objects and/or Real Estate or some part thereof. It must be noted that the Documentation may include documents that relate to the original specifications of the Objects and/or Real Estate at the time of their initial completion. It is possible that they may no longer apply. Photographs of the Objects and/or Real Estate that are included on the Website may also include items that are not part of the Objects and/or Real Estate in question, and that therefore will not be included in the sale or tender arranged by the CGREA or the Public Authorities; (ii) in the event that the information and/or specifications that are provided include direct or indirect opinions, these are the opinions of the Public Authority and/or the third parties commissioned by the Public Authority on the basis of data currently available to them. No rights may be derived from any such opinions and/or the standards or assumptions on which they are based and which have been adopted by the Public Authority or the aforementioned third parties. The use of the Documentation provided is entirely at the risk of the Interested Party. The provision of the documentation does not imply that an Interested Party no longer has a responsibility to conduct independent research into whether or not an Object or a Right meets the expectations of the Interested Party, or that the documentation is a sufficient basis on which to justify a bid on the part of the Interested Party.
  13. Unless a Sale Procedure or Tender Procedure results in the signing of an agreement between the Interested Party and the Public Authority with regard to the Objects or Rights, which expressly includes statements and/or guarantees to the contrary on the part of the Public Authority, the information included on the Website and in the Documentation may not be interpreted as any form of guarantee with respect to the condition, value and/or quality of the Objects and/or Rights and/or the Real Estate and/or the absence of private or public claims from third parties or public authorities in relation to the Objects, the Rights and/or the Real Estate. No rights may be derived from the information included on the Website and in the Documentation, and third parties may derive no such rights therefrom.
  14. No employee of the Public Authority and none of the third parties commissioned by the Public Authority is competent to or has been authorised to provide any guarantees or enter into any agreements with respect to the Objects, the Real Estate and/or the Rights, unless they have been expressly mandated to do so.
  15. The Interested Party may not make any claim against the Public Authority or against third parties engaged by the Public Authority, which expressly includes any real estate agent commissioned by the Public Authority, with regard to the inaccuracy and/or incompleteness of information on the Website and/or in the Documentation; nor is the Interested Party entitled to claim that he or she has not been given sufficient opportunity to ascertain the accuracy or completeness of information on the Website and/or in the Documentation, or that he or she has been denied (sufficient) opportunity to carry out other forms of research in the broadest sense of the word.
  16. The Public Authority and its consultants make every effort to ensure that the Website remains accessible 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, its accessibility cannot be guaranteed by the Public Authority and/or its consultants. Furthermore, the Public Authority and/or its consultants cannot guarantee:
  17. that the Website will function correctly at all times;

  22. loss of profits or special, incidental, indirect, consequential or any other type of damages that arise from or in relation to the operation of the Website, regardless of how such damage occurs, unless this is due to gross negligence and/or deliberate intent.
