Internet law, e-commerce and digitalisation

Companies of any size can use the internet as a sales channel, thus reaching an unlimited target audience. There are a variety of statutory provisions concerning e-commerce that apply to companies. In addition to general regulations according to civil law, there are also many special provisions, e.g. regarding consumers (B2C).
