To whom does the obligation under German law to provide company information on commercial websites apply?

Answer

Section 5 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) governs the obligation under German law to provide company information on commercial websites. This legal requirement does not apply to offers solely of a private nature. If the obligation to provide company information is incumbent upon you, we recommend you publish your legal information in your personal profile or post a link to your website's legal information. A link to do so is provided at the bottom of your profile page.
