The largest e-commerce association in Europe
with more than 90,000 secured online presences

Almost every online retailer has at some point received post from a warning letter lawyer. If a competitor or the consumer protection authority notices an infringement of competition law on your website, a warning letter may be issued and an injunction may be requested. The warning costs usually go into the 3 to 4-digit range.

Stay calm!

Do not throw the warning into the bin and
observe the deadlines set!

  • Do NOT sign the cease-and-desist declaration immediately!
  • Do NOT pay the claimed amount immediately!

Have a warning checked

Have the warning checked by a specialist lawyer. They can help you:

  • Check the warning for merits
  • If necessary, apply for an extension of the deadline
  • Negotiate with the other side

Immediate help from Händlerbund!

Things to know about

LEGAL WARNINGS

What is the next step once I have sent the warning to Händlerbund?

We will confirm receipt of the documents by e-mail and send you the confirmation of assumption of costs for processing by our team of lawyers. You will also receive a prepared power of attorney, which you will immediately sign and return to us by fax or e-mail.

The warning is presented to a lawyer for examination, who will contact you by telephone as soon as possible and discuss the state of affairs and further procedures. If the warning is fully or partially justified, we will prepare and send you a modified cease-and-desist declaration. Sign the declaration and return it to us immediately by fax or e-mail. Please do not send the original. We will only forward the cease-and-desist declaration to the other party after express agreement with you.

The lawyer in charge will discuss with you all further details, in particular the question of reimbursement of costs to the other party and further procedures.

What happens if you reject the warning (e.g. the abuse of rights)?

On the one hand, it is possible for the person issuing the warning to file an injunction suit. However, this rarely happens.

Rather, an application for a preliminary injunction is obtained from the court by the person issuing the warning letter. The application will then be examined by a court. The court decides whether the injunction will be granted. If this is the case, it will be served on the defendant (online merchant). Should the online merchant file an appeal, a judgement will be made in the preliminary injunction procedure. Further legal remedies are then available. For example, the filing of a lawsuit, which can lead to principal proceedings.
