Why Standard Terms & Conditions Are Not Enough for Innovative Business Models
Whether SaaS platform, mobile game, online marketplace, or AI application — digital business models place unique demands on Terms & Conditions. Internet templates or generic T&C generators don't account for the specifics of digital products or current case law on topics like in-app purchases, subscription models, or the right of withdrawal for digital content.
As a lawyer with personal founding experience in the games and tech industry, I understand not only the legal requirements but also the business realities behind your product. I draft T&C that accurately reflect your business model — without unnecessary restrictions.
