Law/Patents - Business/Commerce (general)
Dutch term or phrase: tijdig afroepen
I am currently translating a short legal document (General conditions of sale and delivery), and am struggling with the above phrase.

The context is as follows:

"Indien de koper niet tijdig afroept zijn wij gerechtigd onmiddellijke en voorafgaande betaling voor alle te leveren goederen te vorderen, tegen aanbod van de te leveren goederen, of de order voor het nog niet geleverde gedeelte te annuleren, zonder dat de koper zelf hieraan enig recht op schadevergoeding kan ontlenen, en onverlet onze mogelijkheid om schadevergoeding te vorderen."

In this case, does "afroep" refer to "on-demand deliveries"?

All suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be awarded within 72 hours.

Many thanks,

Anne

Explanation:
At General Motors I have shared the same office space with the Supply department for years.
The situation is very similar to your context: a certain quantity of goods has been ordered/contracted to be supplied in stages as required.
When so required they called in the next delivery.
