The digital transformation is profoundly changing the processes and structures of companies. It further means the challenge of complying with several new legal requirements.
Digital services, digital content
The EU introduced legal requirements for supplying digital contents and providing digital services to consumers. In Hungary the Gov. Decree 373/2021 implements the obligatory elements to be implemented in general terms and conditions. Non-compliance qualifies as breach of consumer protection provisions and triggers penalties.
E-commerce
Selling products, services via e-commerce, possibly over several national borders has its challenges. We support in drafting the compliant general terms and conditions, setting up the correct steps for the purchasing process and advise on all obligatory elements of the web shop.
Platforms, P2B
The European P2B Regulation applies to providers of online search engines and online intermediation services that enable businesses to sell goods or services to consumers. We support in setting up the compliant general terms and conditions, or at our clients’ disposal when negotiating the terms. We also help with reviewing the requirements during a transaction.
Gatekeepers – compliance with Digital Markets Act
Large digital platforms, the ‘gatekeepers’ providing core platform services, such as online search engines or app stores, have to comply with specific legal requirements arising from the Digital Markets Act. We support with review and compliance.
IoT
The European Data Act prescribes legal obligations for processing non-personal data. Compliant data usage, sharing, provision require implementation of legal provisions which is a big challenge in setting-up the contractual standards. We are happy to support.
Cyberrisks
Cyber criminality is growing extremely and endangers companies. We support in preparation for avoiding potential threats, detect and respond immediately to cyber attacks, including legal reporting requirements and crisis communication. We are further at your disposal in enforcing legal claims in case of a breach.
Copyrights, know-how, business secrets, non-personal data
We advise in protection and enforcement of your copyrights, know-how and business secrets. An emerging legal area is the data licensing agreement which enables your company and its business partners to use, to prevent from using or give access to non-personal data in a compliant way.
Artifical intelligence
AI across a broad range of sectors is affected by the newly introduced European AI Act. The new regulation confers obligations on providers of AI systems, developers, manufacturers, but also entities using AI in a professional context.
