Providers of IT services are exposed to various liability risks, whether they develop software, are engaged in sales, as application service providers (ASP), as software as a service (SaaS) or other "cloud" providers.

In this guide, you will learn what liability risks exist under German law and you will receive specific recommendations on how you can protect yourself as a German or foreign provider. Legal knowledge is not necessary.
