E-Commerce Law

E-commerce law is characterized by constant dynamism. We advise you on all issues that may arise for you in digital commercial transactions.

E-commerce Law: Laws also apply on the World Wide Web.

E-commerce law is becoming increasingly important.

Trade on the World Wide Web has become an indispensable part of our daily lives and continues to gain importance. At the same time, e-commerce (electronic commercial transactions) is comprehensively regulated by law. When conducting commercial activities online, entrepreneurs must adhere to a multitude of obligations, ranging from the imprint requirement and data protection regulations to aspects of the right of withdrawal. Currently, for example, we are observing many legal uncertainties in connection with the new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a European Union regulation for the protection of personal data.

If a website or online shop operator violates legal regulations, they face expensive warning letters and court proceedings. Not every online merchant is fully aware of their legal obligations and the sometimes drastic consequences of disregarding them. Therefore, comprehensive legal advice in the field of e-commerce law is highly recommended.

Online shops must comply with regulations.

When operating a website or an online shop, a multitude of regulations apply. These affect, among others, the following legal areas:

Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG)
Telemedia Act (TMG)
Price Indication Ordinance (PrAngV)
Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG)
Regulations on the right of withdrawal and return policy
