Section 37a

(1) All business correspondence of the merchant which is addressed to a specific recipient must indicate, irrespective of its form, the merchant’s business name, the designation pursuant to section 19 (1) no. 1, the place of their commercial establishment, the court of registration and the number under which the business name is registered in the Commercial Register.

(2) The particulars required in accordance with subsection (1) will not be necessary in notifications or reports issued in connection with an existing business relationship and for which it is customary to use pre-printed forms in which only specific particulars necessary in the individual case need to be entered.

(3) Order forms are deemed to be business correspondence within the meaning of subsection (1). Subsection (2) does not apply to them.

(4) Whoever fails to comply with their duty pursuant to subsection (1) is to be urged to do so by the court of registration by imposition of a coercive fine. Section 14 sentence 2 applies accordingly.
