Terms and Conditions
Terms and Conditions
The trade in goods and the conclusion of contracts over the Internet are becoming increasingly important. Anyone who wants to operate an online shop or offer services over the Internet should provide their customers with the contractual conditions - the proper general terms and conditions (GTC) - in an understandable manner. Although no business is obliged to draw up GTC, it is still advisable to set GTC in order to ensure legal security in electronic legal transactions. An online business operator can ensure that his customers are sufficiently informed when doing business with him by providing complete information and using appropriate wording. Incorrect information in the GTC of a website or an online shop can result in warnings and high costs. Correct and complete GTC make it possible to fully exploit the legal framework.
Of course, the terms and conditions vary depending on the type of company, the type of business offer and the legal requirements in the chosen market. It is definitely a good idea to consult a legal advisor or legal expert before publishing binding terms and conditions on a website. To make it easier to get started, you can consult the usual so-called "terms and conditions generators" that you can find on the Internet. However, it is important that the generator is adapted to the market and the fact that individual legal advice cannot be replaced comprehensively and seriously by an automatic tool.
