Any business with a website will need to comply with various rules and regulations. The nature of these rules and regulations will vary depending on whether the website is business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-consumer (B2C), and whether the website offers the sale or supply of services or just the provision of information or other content. Some of the issues that businesses face when selling online include inadvertent contract formation, complying with e-commerce legislation, data protection and ePrivacy law and online advertising and marketing law.
Some of these rules and regulations are introduced below, and are discussed in more detail in Practice Note: Websites—compliance requirements.
