General terms and conditions

Clarity and protection in your business operations

General terms and conditions form the legal rules for your products or services. They provide clarity to customers and limit your risks as an entrepreneur. Well-drafted general terms and conditions prevent disputes over payment, delivery, liability, or warranty.

For entrepreneurs in SMEs, larger companies, and rapidly growing startups, general terms and conditions are indispensable for structuring their commercial activities. They offer predictability and legal protection, provided they are correctly drafted and properly applied.

What is included in general terms and conditions?

General terms and conditions contain standard provisions regarding:

• Payment and delivery terms
• Warranties and complaint procedures
• Liability limitations
• Force majeure and cancellation
• Retention of title
• Applicable law and competent court

Depending on your industry, products, or services, additional provisions may be necessary. Consider provisions regarding intellectual property, confidentiality, or specific regulations (such as consumer law or export rules). It is also essential to comply with the requirements of the Civil Code, for example, regarding unreasonable burdensome clauses.
