verloopdatum

Verloopdatum is a Dutch term that denotes the date on which something expires or ceases to be valid. It marks the end of a defined period of validity for a product, document, license, or agreement, after which continued use or enforceability is not guaranteed.

In consumer contexts, the term is often associated with products that have a limited shelf life, such as food, medicines, or cosmetics. Labels may specify a verloopdatum or use related terms like houdbaarheidsdatum or vervaldatum. After the verloopdatum, safety, quality, or effectiveness can no longer be assured.

In legal and contractual contexts, the verloopdatum can indicate when a contract, license, subscription, or permit ends unless renewed. It is distinct from a due date or maturity date (vervaldatum) in financial contexts, where those terms refer to payment due dates or the date a financial instrument matures.

Management and compliance practices commonly track verloopdata to ensure safety, regulatory compliance, and proper renewal of rights. Consumers are advised to check verloopdata before using products or renewing agreements, to avoid risks or loss of benefit.
