Thus, it cannot be generally stated what all must be regulated in the GTC. What is certain is that unclear regulations should be avoided, since in case of doubt they can be interpreted against the will of the author. There should also be no unusual rules in the GTC, as the GTC are usually adopted globally by the customer, i.e. the customer takes note of the pre-formulated provisions but does not read them through. Even in the case of global acceptance, the GTC become an integral part of the contract, whereby unusual rules do not become valid if a reference is missing or they have not been specifically highlighted from the text.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>General terms and conditions can be structured as follows, for example, and have the following content:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>basic data<\/strong><br>Company name, representation, conclusion of contract, areas of activity, etc.<\/li><li><strong>offer data<\/strong><br>Type of offer, description, customers etc.<\/li><li><strong>prices and conditions<\/strong><br>Value added tax, shipping costs, payment methods, etc.<\/li><li><strong>return and withdrawal<\/strong><br>Exchange of goods, right of withdrawal, withdrawal from contract, etc. 5.<\/li><li><strong>obligations of the supplier<\/strong><br>Delivery periods, warranties, liability, etc. 6.<\/li><li><strong>data protection<\/strong><br>Processing of data, data security etc.<\/li><li><strong>further provisions<\/strong><br>Changes, applicable law, place of jurisdiction etc.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Your company formation or conversion of a sole proprietorship is best carried out via<a href=\"https:\/\/www.startups.ch\/en\/home\"> STARTUPS.CH<\/a>!
