Internet
Business & E-Commerce Law
Electronic
Business development and E-Commerce can be exciting and rewarding.
Unfortunately, many e-business owners ignore the many legal traps of
Internet business. Simply because electronic commerce is relatively new
does not mean fundamental commercial and business laws can be ignored.
Unlimited
Liability
Even
a "simple" web commerce business, MLM, or commercial web site is a
business. As a business, the laws of the jurisdictions where the
transactions are located will govern the rights and responsibilities of
the owner and customer. Unless the business is organized as a Limited
Liability Company or Corporation, the owner's personal assets will be
subject to the liability of the business.
