Hardly anything works in modern business life without general terms and conditions (GTCs). It would
be far too time-consuming to include all the necessary details in every single contract. However, while end customers
generally rely on the fact that the GTCs they accept comply with current law and do not put them at a disadvantage,
the often negligent way in which they are handled is even more remarkable when it comes to their own general terms
and conditions. Company founders
or self-employed people
in particular often rely on ready-made or simply copied
templates from the Internet, even though they are unable to assess the legal significance of many passages. This
is more than negligent behavior given that your own economic existence may depend on these paragraphs.
Self-employed people, freelancers, start-ups - none of them should take any risks when it comes to their own
general terms and conditions. The creation or at least approval by an experienced lawyer for general terms and
conditions should be a fixed item in every entrepreneur's budget.

Together we will find the best legal protection for your company or business when concluding contracts and transactions.

General terms and conditions regulate pre-formulated contractual conditions of a contracting party when concluding contracts. To be effective, they must be clearly stated. In addition, GTCs must be formulated in a way that is understandable for the customer (which is of course relative in practice) and they must not contain any elements that are surprising or unclear to the customer. However, GTCs can also lose their validity if they give the impression that one party to the contract wishes to grant itself inappropriate advantages over the other party. Many mistakes and omissions can occur when formulating and drafting GTCs - an experienced lawyer can help you avoid them.
