Specialist language

Avoid using specialist language or jargon as much as possible.

Legal text

Always use plain language instead of complex legal language.

For example, instead of:


“I understand that for digital products, Springer Nature may start the performance of the contract before the end of the withdrawal period and I acknowledge that I thereby lose my right of withdrawal”.


Write:


“If you have bought a digital product, for example an eBook, you agree to waive your right to cancel after you select 'buy now'. You will be able to access the item immediately after purchase.”
