Navigating and comprehending the legal text of web shops’ general terms and conditions is a burden for consumers. This poster abstract describes work-in-progress to design a visualization environment specifically addressing the needs of online shoppers. This environment highlights keywords of relevance (e.g., returning items), provides visual overview, and supports comparison of two texts.
