What are the consequences of a warning notice for GPSR violations?

A warning notice — typically from competitors or consumer protection organisations — typically costs you €1,500 to €3,000 in solicitor's fees plus court costs. You must sign a cease-and-desist declaration, which also incurs costs. On top of that come compensation claims if customers suffer damage. However, this is not yet the regulatory level: if the warning notice is not taken seriously and regulators get involved, fines of €10,000 to €100,000 follow. The best approach is prevention: work through a checklist, verify information and document it.
