General Terms & Conditions

General Terms & Conditions

Legally sound general terms that limit your risks and are enforceable.

What are General Terms and Conditions?

General terms and conditions are standard provisions that you as an entrepreneur draw up unilaterally and declare applicable to your agreements. They govern standard arrangements on matters such as payment, liability, termination and dispute resolution.

Well-drafted general terms and conditions protect you as an entrepreneur and limit your liability provided they are correctly drafted and properly made applicable.

What do general terms and conditions cover?

Payment terms and collection costs
Limitation of liability
Retention of title
Termination periods and grounds
Complaint procedures and deadlines
Choice of law and jurisdiction
Intellectual property and confidentiality
Force majeure clauses

Applicability: a common mistake

General terms and conditions are only enforceable if they have been made applicable in the correct manner. This means you must provide them to the counterparty before or at the time of concluding the agreement.

A common mistake is that entrepreneurs only mention their general terms on the invoice that is too late. We help you get this right from the start.

Have existing terms reviewed?

Do you already have general terms and conditions but are unsure whether they are still current and enforceable? We review your existing terms and advise you on necessary amendments also in light of recent case law and legislation.
