Mail Order Sales Act Explanation: ... which also covers purchases via email and the Internet or TV shopping; see below: Das Gesetz gilt für alle sogenannten Fernabsatzverträge, d.h. Verträge, die sich für ihren Abschluss und ihre Anbahnung der gängigen Fernabsatzkommunikationsmittel bedienen. Zu beachten ist hierbei, dass es nicht nur um Verträge via E-Mail oder TV-Shopping geht, sondern auch der klassische Versandhandel davon betroffen sind, da der Briefverkehr auch ein Fernkommunikationsmittel darstellt. Betroffen sind also alle Vertragsabschlüsse, bei denen eine gleichzeitige körperliche Anwesenheit der Vertragsparteien nicht erforderlich ist. Vom Anwendungsbereich der Fernabsatzrichtlinie ausgenommen sind allerdings Verträge über Finanzdienstleistungen von Banken, Versicherungen und Wertpapierunternehmen, für Verträge im Automatenvertrieb, mit privaten oder öffentlichen Telekommunikationsunternehmen unter Benutzung öffentlicher Fernsprecherund über Immobilienerwerb und bei. Hinzu kommen weitere teilweise Ausnahmen von einzelnen Vorschriften (s. „Einzelne Vorschriften“). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-09 16:18:28 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Based on a combination of my research above and Fred Thomson\'s suggestioin below you could also use \"Remote Sales Act\" or perhaps even \"Remote Purchases Act\" since it is the purchasers who benefit from and are protected by this legislation (it\'s a law and not just a set of guidelines or rules) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-09 16:40:40 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Another reference which may help you decide on the right term is: http://jurcom5.juris.de/bundesrecht/fernabsg/index.html Reference: http://www.fernabsatzgesetz.de/ |

Law on Remote Marketing Explanation: Erich could be right. What he says makes a lot of sense, but I suggest that you consider a more generic translation. The law may cover more than just mail order marketing. |
