training
This training is held in German.
Digital commerce also poses a major legal challenge for large and small online retailers. The jungle of legal regulations that need to be observed is dense and almost impossible to navigate. Online trading affects the most diverse areas of law: Competition law, copyright law, trademark law, data privacy and much more. If mistakes are made here, the consequences are usually costly. The legal risk is high because your own online offering is transparent and can be viewed by anyone. This means that warning letters often have an easy game. This training provides the legal tools that online retailers need to operate their online store in a legally compliant manner and to recognize legal problems in advance in an understandable and practical way. It clearly addresses the topics that come up time and again in day-to-day business.
