E-commerce - terms and conditions
Legal security for online stores: GDPR and consumer protection in the digital market
E-commerce is more than a working website. A compliant legal framework is needed in the background to avoid consumer protection penalties or data protection authority investigations.
Key legal elements of online sales
Online stores need stable documentation in three critical areas.
General terms and conditions
The terms define the legal relationship between the buyer and the trader, including withdrawal rights, warranty rules, delivery and payment terms.
GDPR and data protection
Online stores process names, addresses, phone numbers and purchase history. I prepare privacy notices, cookie consent frameworks and lawful marketing rules.
Consumer protection disclosures
Mandatory information must be clear before the order is finalised. Missing disclosures can create penalty risk even without an individual complaint.

Do not rely on templates
Downloaded or copied documents are often outdated or do not fit your activity. One authority inspection may cost more than professional legal advice.
