Indien de goederen, tengevolge van welke niet nakoming van de contractuele verhouding dan ook aan de zijde van de afnemer en/of de leverancier en/of een van de ***voorschakels*** van de leverancier, uiteindelijk terecht komen bij de leverancier, dan is de leverancier bevoegd om de goederen aan een of meerder derde(n) ten verkoop aan te bieden

English translation:earlier links in (the) supply chain
Explanation:
These are people or companies in the line of suppliers before the product gets to the supplier in your sentence. See www.mijnwoordenboek.nl for 'supply chain'. Like a physical chain, a 'supply chain' has 'links', Google the above suggested answer...

agree  John Holloway: ...it looks like a contract. Lianne's phrasing is clearer in law. Non-performance by a party not formally a contracted 'supplier to a supplier' would otherwise be excluded (in the 'supplier to a supplier' phrasing). (And source also broad in this regard.)

the supplier's suppliers


Explanation:
Just another way to put it. It may be a bit of a mouthful, but it is specific and that may be what you want for a legal text.
