Many market participants assess the seriousness of an online retailer based on details such as contact data, general terms and conditions (GTC), regulations on returns or cancellation and information on privacy policy.
A significant number of consumers also attach importance to a legally compliant design of the online shop.
Such a legally secure design is guaranteed by the legal review of the IT law firm IT-Recht Kanzlei Munich. In addition to the provision of legal content prepared by lawyers, the review includes a legal examination and permanent legal support of the online presence concerned by specialized lawyers. The review takes place based on a review catalogue developed and constantly updated by IT-Recht Kanzlei München, which now comprises more than 120 individual review points.
The criteria that consumers pay particular attention to are covered by this catalogue, as well as statutory obligations of the trader.
While online traders are by no means obliged to subject their shop to such an audit, the regular review is nevertheless quite reasonable. The legal framework in the areas of civil, commercial, competition, advertising and media law is now so complex that small and medium-sized businesses can hardly muster the necessary resources to keep track of the current and ever-changing legal situation and ensure it is considered appropriately. A lawyer's review and constant follow-up creates legal certainty.
