Legally secure trading in Germany
If your business wants to enter the German market, then there’s no getting around Germany’s consumer protection laws. Breaching these laws can result in legal action and possible temporary injunctions. We will advise and represent you in all areas of online trade and you will be able to trade successfully and safely.
Legal texts
Legal texts such as terms & conditions, right of withdrawal and website legal notices form the basis of a secure online presence. To avoid any legal mistakes in your documents, we can provide you with all the legal texts you need for legally secure selling within Germany.
Assistance with legal warnings
We help with legal warnings and will also represent you retroactively in the event of a warning letter – and at no additional cost. In accordance with our legal protection regulations, we represent you through all courts without any additional costs – we guarantee this and are also liable in an emergency.
