E-commerce lawyers in France
Any business offering products and services online must comply with numerous legal obligations. These requirements aim to protect consumers in business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions and can therefore place significant demands on businesses.
As lawyers specialising in e-commerce under French law, we assist you both when launching your business and when bringing your existing communications and practices into compliance. We help you navigate the various laws governing e-commerce so that you can operate your business with confidence.
We can provide legal assistance with:
Creating your website: as a central part of your business, your website must be fully functional. If it has been created by a third party, you should also ensure that you have sufficient rights to use, modify and develop it, as websites are subject to intellectual property rights.
Bringing your website into compliance: whether or not your website offers e-commerce services, it must include certain legal information, such as the name and address of its owner and hosting provider.
Drafting your terms and conditions, including terms and conditions of sale and website terms of use. Detailed requirements apply to products and services offered to consumers (B2C). Appropriate terms are also necessary when dealing with other businesses (B2B). Having them drafted by an e-commerce lawyer can save you valuable time and provide greater legal certainty.
Drafting your privacy policy, taking account of the personal data you process, to help ensure compliance with the GDPR.
Organising competitions and promotional campaigns, which are subject to strict consumer protection rules designed to safeguard participants. Our e-commerce lawyers can also assist you with these matters.
We can assist you with all these matters and more under French law. You may already find answers to your questions below. If not, please contact us by telephone or email.
