A website or application must include legal documents suited to the publisher's activity (e-commerce, platform, online software).
The legal notice identifies the publisher and the host of the site (French Law of 21 June 2004 on confidence in the digital economy). The privacy policy informs data subjects about the processing of their personal data, in accordance with Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR: purposes, legal bases, retention periods, recipients, data subjects' rights. Failure to comply exposes the publisher to sanctions, in particular from the CNIL.
The terms and conditions of sale govern the commercial relationship with customers, whether professionals or consumers, in compliance with consumer law (pre-contractual information, fourteen-day right of withdrawal for distance selling, statutory guarantees). The terms of use set the rules for accessing and using an online service and limit, to the extent permitted by law, the publisher's liability.
Contracts concluded around software or a technology solution must set out precisely the rights and responsibilities of each party. The law firm drafts, reviews and negotiates in particular:

Disputes concern in particular the performance of IT contracts, infringement of trademarks, software or content, copying of a software interface (see the case study on a competitor copying a software interface) and acts of unfair competition and free riding.
