Terms & Conditions Generator

Terms and conditions are not decoration but the legal frame of your business. They govern contract formation, prices and payment, delivery, liability, warranty and, in consumer business, the right of withdrawal. German law controls T&C strictly: under Sections 305 to 310 BGB, invalid clauses are not just ineffective, they can also draw cease-and-desist letters. Whoever copies T&C from a competitor adopts foreign mistakes and risks trouble.

The T&C generator approaches this in a structured way. It offers ready industry presets for the typical business models: online shop in B2C and B2B, SaaS and software, digital content, service providers, craftsmen, freelancers, associations and more. Each preset brings the clauses suited to its model, so you do not start from zero but build on a sensible foundation and then adapt.

The clause builder is modular. You add clauses or leave them out, adapt prices, payment methods, delivery terms and jurisdiction to your business. The distinction between B2C and B2B matters: toward consumers the clause prohibitions of Sections 308 and 309 BGB apply directly, toward businesses they serve via Section 310 BGB as an indicator for content control under Section 307. The generator accounts for this difference and gives B2B terms more leeway.

The special part is the content control. While you assemble your T&C, the generator checks the clauses against the typical pitfalls of Sections 307-309 BGB and warns you when a wording goes too far, such as an impermissible limitation of liability or an unreasonable disadvantage. These warnings do not replace a lawyer review, but they catch the common and costly errors before they end up in your T&C.

For online shops, SaaS and digital content the cancellation policy belongs in. Consumers have a fourteen-day right of withdrawal in distance selling, and the instruction about it is formally strictly regulated. The generator produces a matching cancellation policy with the sample withdrawal form and the consequences of withdrawal, so you meet the information duties and are not warned over a faulty instruction.

In the end you export your T&C as PDF, HTML or text, depending on whether you want to print them, embed them in your shop or edit them further. And honesty is part of it: automatically generated T&C are a good, solid start, but for complex or industry-specific business models they do not replace review by a specialist lawyer. The generator gets you far, the last mile in tricky cases is for the professional.
