In the modern world, all businesses require an online presence to market their products and services, and online businesses have the benefit of low start-up and running costs which enable them to compete with well known high street brands such as Toys R Us, Next and John Lewis.
Whilst it is relatively simple to set up an e-commerce website, it is somewhat harder to comply with the laws and regulations set by the UK government and the European Union.
If you have a website and you are selling products or services, here are just some of the laws, rules and regulations of which you need to be aware;
- Committee of Advertising Practice (Advertising Standards Authority)
- Contract Law
- Data Protection Act 1998
- Distance Selling Regulations
- E-commerce Regulations
- Intellectual Property Rights
- Libel Law
- Trade Marks
This website gives you a brief insight into the rules and regulations that affect websites and offers a brief guide to good working practices and regulations that affect your website. Please click on the links below for more information:
