E-commerce disputes

E-commerce, while providing countless opportunities for business, also brings complex legal challenges that often go unnoticed. 

One of the most common problems is the use of standard terms and conditions of sale (“Terms and Conditions”) on e-commerce platforms, which can be unclear or misinterpreted, leading to misunderstandings about the return of goods, warranties or limitations of liability. 

Data security and privacy is another critical area. Although the GDPR and other data protection regulations impose strict requirements on how to handle consumer data, many e-commerce websites are not adequately prepared for these requirements, especially with regard to privacy and cookie policies. 

We are ready to help you spot legal subtleties in the market that often go unnoticed but can be crucial in the event of a dispute. 

IT contract qualification

One of the most common problems in the IT sector is the proper qualification of contracts. As IT contracts can be classified as contract, fee-for-service, design, improper qualification of contracts leads to disputes. 

The causes of these disputes are usually due to a lack of clarity of the contract terms or different interpretations of them. Ambiguities in the definition of the scope and deliverables of a project can lead to major disagreements, especially in the IT sector, where the final product is often intangible and subject to different quality standards. 

With a deep understanding of the challenges in this sector, we advise businesses on clear dispute resolution mechanisms in contracts and their proper qualification.
