• A stationery with the company letterhead and/or a copy of a recent bank statement (not older than three months) containing all details including IBAN number, BIC code, and VAT number. You can send these to your Lekkerland contact, either by post of by mail at the same time as the supplier form. Lekkerland does not purchase products directly from suppliers/producers located outside the EU or EEA; products are placed on the Dutch, European, or EEA markets through intermediaries first. If the supplier is not an EU or EEA-based producer (within the meaning of Book 6, Article 187, paragraph 2 or paragraph 3 of the Dutch Civil Code) of the products delivered to Lekkerland, the supplier must notify Lekkerland prior to the first delivery. In such cases, Lekkerland reserves the right to terminate the agreement without being liable for damages. Listing new products Condition for admission: for a period of eight months, Lekkerland receives a 100% return right at no cost on our part. After these 8 months we will decide on definite listing. Delisting products In case you decide to delist a product, we require you to notify your contact person of category management in writing 8 weeks in advance. Also include the reasons for delisting and define possible alternatives. Product categories Within Lekkerland we distinguish the following product categories (next page). We assume that you will deliver all our 3 DC’s. However, depending on the agreements made with our supply chain department, delivery on 1 DC is also possible. If you want to deliver to 1 DC, we will charge you our handling costs. Please contact our supply chain department for more information. Slow movers Products with a slow turnover speed are handled through the central warehouse. The warehouse makes these products nationally available. The listing of new ambient products will start from the slow-mover warehouse in Son. We charge a surcharge per product unit for this facility. Every six months, measurements are taken to determine which products have mutated from being a slow mover to be a standard product (in stock in all the DCs), and vice versa. 6.2 Product Management

The traceability of the products based on best before date and lot codes are the responsibility of the supplier.

5.5 Alternative Suppliers

If you decide to use an alternative supplier, you should always do this with permission of the quality management and category management department. You will remain responsible for the agreement.
