If you offer a product or service online in Germany - whether via your own store, Etsy, Amazon or Instagram - you need a few legal basics. The good news: as soon as you know what's involved, it's not so bad.<\/p>\n
An imprint is mandatory as soon as you do business on the Internet. Even on social media!
It must contain the following information:<\/p>\n
Your full name or the company name<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Your address (no P.O. Box!)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
Contact options (e-mail, telephone)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
For companies: Commercial register number and VAT ID<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
If you are a freelancer: simply submit your tax number to the tax office<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Tip:<\/strong> There are many imprint generators online - but make sure that they are up-to-date and legally compliant.<\/p>\n AGB are not mandatory - but they protect you!<\/strong> How the contract is concluded<\/p>\n<\/li>\n How shipping works<\/p>\n<\/li>\n What applies to returns or revocations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Which payment methods you accept<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Who pays for return costs<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If you have no GTC<\/strong>the statutory regulations automatically apply - and these are sometimes more consumer-friendly than seller-friendly \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n Attention:<\/strong> Simply copying terms and conditions from somewhere is not an option - it can be expensive. It's better to get professional help or use a T&C generator for your store system.<\/p>\n Since the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), you have to be very clear, what happens to your customers' data<\/strong>. What data you store (name, address, e-mail, IP address, etc.)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n What you need the data for (e.g. shipping, newsletter, analysis)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Whether third parties are involved (e.g. payment providers such as PayPal or Stripe)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Important:<\/strong> You need a own data protection page<\/strong> (separate from the legal notice!) and preferably also a cookie banner if you use tools such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wenn du in Deutschland ein Produkt oder eine Dienstleistung online anbietest \u2013 egal ob \u00fcber deinen eigenen Shop, Etsy, Amazon oder Instagram \u2013 brauchst du ein paar rechtliche Basics.
