tussenvoorwaarde

Tussenvoorwaarde is a Dutch term that translates to "intermediate condition" or "interim requirement." It refers to a condition that must be met before a final or ultimate condition can be fulfilled. This concept is often encountered in legal, contractual, and logistical contexts.

In legal agreements, a tussenvoorwaarde might stipulate that a certain action must be completed or a specific document must be provided before a contract becomes fully binding or a payment is released. For example, a lease agreement might have a tussenvoorwaarde that the tenant must provide proof of insurance before taking possession of the property.

In project management, a tussenvoorwaarde can be a milestone that needs to be achieved before proceeding to the next phase of a project. This helps in breaking down complex tasks into manageable steps and ensures that progress is made systematically. For instance, the completion of a design phase could be a tussenvoorwaarde for the commencement of construction.

Logistically, a tussenvoorwaarde might relate to the steps involved in the delivery or transfer of goods. A delivery might have a tussenvoorwaarde such as the recipient signing a receipt before the goods are considered officially handed over. The term emphasizes a stage that is not the beginning nor the end, but a crucial step in a sequence of events or requirements.
