Plateformes & Marketplaces

Digital platforms and marketplaces have become essential means of economic exchange. Cabinet FÉRAL assists you in their creation and in their compliance.

Marketplaces allowing service providers to meet their customers are now present in all sectors of the economy. The creation of these online intermediation sites raises multiple legal questions:

– Choice of the legal structure ;
– Establishment of the general conditions of services with the suppliers and customers (drafting of GTCs, UGCs, GSAs);
– Definition of the roles and responsibilities of the intermediary and the stakeholders;
– Information obligation of the platform;
– Social and fiscal obligations;
– Billing scheme;
– Payment on behalf of third parties and obligations towards the ACPR;
– Validation of purchase tunnels and compliance with consumer law;
– RGPD compliance and drafting of privacy policies.

The experience of Cabinet FÉRAL’s lawyers in setting up numerous marketplaces will enable you to make the essential and structuring choices for your future activity.
