GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The trade in goods and the conclusion of contracts via the Internet is becoming increasingly important. If you want to operate an online store or offer services via the Internet, you should provide your customers with the contractual terms and conditions - the proper General Terms and Conditions (GTC) - in a comprehensible manner. Although no entrepreneur is obliged to draw up GTC, it is nevertheless advisable to define GTC in order to ensure legal certainty in electronic legal transactions. An online business operator can ensure that its customers are sufficiently informed when doing business with it by providing complete information and appropriate wording. Incorrect information in the T&Cs of a website or online store can result in warnings and high costs. Correct and complete general terms and conditions allow you to make full use of the legal framework.

Of course, T&Cs vary depending on the type of company, the type of business offering and the legal requirements in the chosen market. In any case, it is a good idea to consult a legal advisor or legal expert before publishing binding T&Cs on a website. To make it easier to get started, you can consult the usual so-called “T&C generators” that can be found on the Internet. However, it is important that the generator is adapted to the market and the fact that individual legal advice cannot be comprehensively and seriously replaced by an automatic tool.
