Legal support that grows
with your business

It depends on the package. You can book Creator & Website and Starter with a term of one month or twelve months. Business and Enterprise run for twelve months. The contract renews for the chosen term each time, and you can cancel up to 14 days before the term ends. 

You become a Händlerbund member when you sign up for one of our membership packages (Creator & Website, Starter, Business, Enterprise). As a member, you can use all the services included in your chosen membership package. 

Lawmakers set out certain information requirements for online retail. Errors in legal texts (e.g. legal notice, terms and conditions, etc.) are often the reason for cease-and-desist letters and legal problems. To give your online business a legally secure foundation, all membership packages include legal texts written by lawyers. If you use the legal texts from Händlerbund, your shop or website is a secured online presence. Additional services such as the in-depth shop inspection or the extended guarantee increase your security in e-commerce.

You can choose between monthly and annual payment. With monthly payment, the amount is charged every month. If you choose annual payment instead, the full amount for 12 months is due once in advance, and you benefit from an attractive price advantage compared to monthly billing.

Yes. At checkout there is a field for your code, and the price adjusts immediately. Discount codes cannot be combined with other promotions. If your code isn’t accepted, please get in touch with us and our service team will look into your request.

Right after booking. In the Customer Center, you answer a few questions about your shop, and your finished legal texts are generated from your answers. You can transfer them by copy and paste or through our interface for JTL, Shopware 6 and WordPress. With the interface, the texts update automatically when the law changes, so you don’t have to maintain anything. As soon as the texts are live, our liability coverage applies.

The Business membership includes one in-depth shop inspection for an online presence of your choice. You can book additional in-depth shop inspections for further online presences at any time. You can easily order another in-depth shop inspection in the Händlerbund legal area. With Enterprise, the inspections are unlimited.

With Starter, you can add the in-depth shop inspection by a lawyer as an optional extra. Alternatively, you can upgrade to a Business membership.

No, the two complement each other. The Shop Scanner automatically checks every seven days whether your mandatory information is accessible and your legal texts are up to date. The in-depth shop inspection is a review by a lawyer against more than 100 criteria, from the order process to the base price indication, with an inspection report and liability coverage.

As an Business or Enterprise member our legal experts will inspect one shop of your choice once every 12 months. In our Login-Area you can also purchase additional Shop Inspections. As a Starter member you can choose an inspection as an add-on.

From Starter onwards, you collect and display customer reviews via Shopauskunft. From Business onwards, they appear in your shop’s design, and with Enterprise you also get analytics and extended features. Creator & Website does not include a review tool.

You can switch to a more powerful package at any time and benefit from all its advantages right away. Please note that a new contract year begins with the new membership package. Payments you have already made for your current membership package will be credited to you.

You can easily upgrade yourself in the Customer Center under “Contracts”.

Yes, flexibility matters to us. If your requirements change, you can switch your membership to a smaller package. Simply contact our customer service or use the corresponding options in the Customer Center. Together, we will find the right solution for your current situation.
