WEBSITE LEGAL CHECKUP

The explosive development of the Internet and electronic commerce has demonstrated that a corporate website can be extremely valuable. Although Internet exchanges of information and communications occur in cyberspace, they may have real, tangible consequences in the physical world. This means significant legal consequences can arise from the browsing or use of a corporate website.

As with any other interaction, website activities or information may be the basis for a damages claim against a company. Similarly, a company may wish to restrict what a user does with information obtained from a corporate website. In short, a company should view its website like any other communication channel. Therefore, we recommend that a corporate website include specific terms and conditions applicable to the browsing and use of the website.
