Frequently asked Questions and answers.

Typical questions in contract law may include:

Have I concluded a valid contract — even if nothing is in writing?

In principle, a contract is valid when two parties have agreed on the main points of the contract (including performance and consideration), including verbally. Most contracts do not require any special form by law; however, written form is required in certain cases (e.g. purchase of land).

However, for reasons of evidence, it is recommended that contracts be concluded in writing.

What can I do if the other party does not comply with the contract?

If the other party breaches its contractual obligations, there are — depending on the type of contract — legal remedies such as extension, withdrawal from the contract, reduction, warranty claims and compensation claims.

Which rights exist in a specific case and how they can be enforced depend on the type of contract, the legal provisions and the contractually agreed clauses; we will review your options for you and assist you in enforcing your claims.

Am I bound by the general terms and conditions (GTC) that I have never read?

Terms and conditions become part of the contract if the customer was informed of the terms and conditions before the contract was concluded and they had the opportunity to take note of their content. As a rule, the fact whether the terms and conditions have actually been read is irrelevant here.

However, clauses of the terms and conditions are ineffective if they violate mandatory law or if they are unusual or unclear.

We would be happy to assist you in interpreting or drawing up terms and conditions.

Can an email or a click on the Internet be legally binding?

Electronic declarations can also represent a binding contract offer or acceptance if they indicate the will to be legally binding.

However, there are also special or stricter regulations for some specific transactions.

What if we never agreed on an important point?

If there is no agreement on an essential contract point (e.g. the price of a purchase), no valid contract is concluded in principle. In certain cases, the law provides for gaps to be filled, for example through normal conditions.

We would be happy to advise you on whether a valid contract has been concluded or help you draw up the contract so that such uncertainties do not arise in the first place.

What happens if the circumstances change significantly after the contract has been concluded?

In principle, the principle is that contracts must be complied with, even if the circumstances change retrospectively. Only in exceptional cases can an adjustment or termination of the contract be considered, for example if an unforeseeable, serious change completely shifts the contractual basis and adherence to the contract becomes unreasonable for a party.

In such situations, it is examined whether a contract adjustment or termination of the contract is possible; however, this requires high hurdles and depends heavily on the individual case.

It is therefore advisable to seek legal advice at an early stage in the event of significant changes in order to clarify risks, negotiation options and the chances of success of a contract adjustment.

Do I always have to cancel a contract in writing?

Whether a termination must be made in writing depends on the respective contract type and on the specific contract agreement. For certain contracts, the law expressly requires written form, while for other contracts, termination is possible formally, i.e. also verbally.

In the contract or in the terms and conditions, the parties often agree that cancellations must be made in writing. A termination given only verbally is then generally ineffective, depending on the clause.

Even if the law does not require written form, written termination is strongly recommended for reasons of evidence, as the date, content and receipt of the notice can be better proven later.
