peer agreement (net): +1| privat und vertrags(schuld)rechtlich handeln acting as a private person and with personal contractual liability Explanation: The writer seems to be getting mixed up if trying to nail a 'negligent' clerk at the credit card company. It's schuldrechtlich and such clerk is highly unlikely to be listed on international registers as personally liable in contract. However, the scenario is different if the comments are directed at a registered Director or CEO of the Company. Example sentence(s):

| privat und vertragsrechtlich handeln act under private law and contract law Explanation: In my view - and this was my first "knee-jerk reaction" when reading this question - none of the three answers given so far is correct, as there seems to be a - admittedly tiny - spelling error in the German phrase under consideration: a hyphen is missing. In fact it has nothing to do with a private person as such, but with "private law" which is often used synonymously for "civil law", although strictly speaking, it is not (but is part of that law). If you do a web search, you'll see that this expression is regularly used with a hyphen. Take a look at this Austrian judgment: Example sentence(s):
