Website Start-up / E-Commerce

If you are starting a website, there can sometimes be lengthy contracts to negotiate, particularly if you are dealing with a large website design company. Even if this is not the case, you would be well advised to have proper website terms and conditions. This is a specialist area which is becoming more heavily regulated. We have advised on several website start-ups and a number of our clients are Web based. The experience our lawyers have in this area cannot be learned from books – simply because the internet moves too quickly for conventional publishers.

Business people are beginning to harness the power of the internet. A few years ago, no-one had heard of Affinity Agreements, Affiliate Agreements or Co-Branding Agreements. Now they are commonplace amongst web-based businesses. The supply of data and the Data Protection Act 1998 are areas which are linked closely to the internet and on which we are regularly asked to advise.

Because several of our clients are entirely web based, and a vast proportion have a web presence, we are well informed and experienced in the issues involved.
