Law and obligations

What a trade website has to settle legally without turning it into a project: the legal notice under section 5 DDG, a privacy policy, consent in the contact form, price information under German price indication rules. Alongside them, day-to-day matters that surface on the website — the right of withdrawal for contracts signed at the garden table, certificates and insurance, and the cutting seasons under the Federal Nature Conservation Act that a tree care business must be able to explain. Written factually and without offering legal advice; assessing a specific case remains a matter for a lawyer.
