General Terms and Conditions

In contrast to widespread opinion, all contract terms that are drafted for repeated use are to be considered as General Terms and Conditions, and not only the so-called “fine print”. This means that the very strict German law on general terms and conditions applies to all standard contracts that companies use. A breach of German law regulating general terms and conditions can have considerable legal consequences for the user (invalidity of individual clauses or the entire contract, warnings, loss of receivables). It is therefore not recommended under any circumstances to use templates found on the Internet or elsewhere or even third-party GTCs without reviewing them.

We draft clauses that are tailored to the needs of our clients operating in a wide variety of business areas, e.g., delivery and purchasing terms and conditions, quality assurance agreements, license and maintenance terms and conditions for software, terms and conditions of use and participation (including for online stores and online portals as well as for app providers).
