Is copying the terms and conditions in another e-shop legally objectionable?

I was asked this question the other day: when I use the wording of terms and conditions from another website on my website, is it legally disputable? However, the path that looks at first glance like a shortcut through the rose garden is often a longer and worse path. Do not simply copy other people’s texts.

It’s not just that it’s not ethically correct or because you could actually act against the law under certain circumstances, but also because each of your business projects is unique.

Copying legal texts could hardly, if ever, be an infringement of intellectual property. But such copying may mean that you are riding on someone else’s work to a certain extent, or that if you use someone else’s business terms and at the same time adopt their operating rules, it could be reputational parasitism as a type of unfair competition under the Commercial Code.

Not sure about the Terms and Conditions? You don’t know what the conditions of behavior should be on your website? Or do you need a contract with a supplier and the one you found on the Internet simply does not fit your project?
