GTC
The trade of goods and the conclusion of contracts via the Internet is becoming increasingly important. Anyone wishing to operate an online store or offer services via the Internet should provide the terms and conditions of the contract - the proper General Terms and Conditions (GTC) - in a comprehensible manner for their customers. Although no business operator is obliged to set up GTC, it is nevertheless advisable to set up GTC in order to ensure one's own legal security in electronic legal transactions. An online business operator can ensure that its customers are sufficiently informed when transacting business with it by providing complete information and appropriate wording. Incorrect information in the GTC of a website or online store can result in warnings and high costs. Correct and complete GTCs provide the opportunity to make full use of the legal framework.
Of course, T&Cs vary depending on the type of business, the nature of the business offering and the legal requirements in the chosen market. It is definitely a good idea to consult a legal advisor or legal expert before posting binding T&Cs on a website. To get started, one can consult the common so-called "T&C generator" 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.
