Bernd H. Harder H A R D E R R E C H T S A N W Ä L T E Munich Seite: 13 06/11/09 § Lots of Restrictions for the design of the Terms and Conditions due the AGB-Law § 305 Civil Code (1) Standard business terms are all contractual terms pre-established for a multitude of contracts which one party to the contract (the user) presents to the other party upon the conclusion of the contract. It is irrelevant whether the provisions appear as a separate part of a contract or are included in the contractual document itself, how extensive they are, what script is used for them, or what form the contract takes. Contractual terms do not constitute standard business terms where they have been individually negotiated between the parties. (2) Standard business terms are incorporated into the contract only if, during the conclusion of the contract, the user 1. expressly draws the other party’s attention to them, or if, on account of the way in which the contract is concluded, an express reference to them is unreasonably difficult, he draws his attention to them by means of a clearly visible sign at the place where the contract is concluded and 2.gives the other party, in a reasonable manner that also appropriately takes account of any physical handicap of the other party discernible by the user, the possibility of gaining knowledge of their content, and if the other party agrees that they are to apply. (3) Subject to observance of the requirements set out in subsection (2) above, the parties may agree in advance that particular standard business terms will apply to a particular type of legal transaction.
