Looking to launch or expand your business presence on the Internet? Before you do so, you need to be aware of the legal traps and issues associated with:
- Choosing a domain name that doesn't violate the rights of another person or business
- Sending email newsletters, advertisements, or solicitations
- The actions of users of your website, and how you can be responsible for what they post on your website
- Blogs, and what free speech doesn't protect
- Obscene material, whether placed on your website by you, or your users
- Being sued by a website user living in a different state
Also, website terms of use and privacy policies are not just "nice to haves," but in many cases are legally required. We can quickly tell you what you need for your website. Read more information here about whether you really need website terms and conditions.
