At the moment I’m in the process of setting up a joint venture with my parents. It will basically be an e-commerce solution marketed to a dedicated market sector. Yesterday I decided to get to grips with Distance Selling Regulations after reading a lot about the on various business forums. It seems people are having a lot of trouble complying with them or even understanding them.
It would seem for most e-commerce websites that it isn’t anything that mindblowing. The regulations basically give some protection to both the supplier (retailer) and the consumer (customer); however they are bias towards the customer.
I have written a page to this blog post detailing the relevant regulations that most e-commerce sites will have to comply with. If you would like more in-depth information please view : http://www.marketingdonut.co.uk/marketing/sales/sales-contracts-and-selling-regulations/distance-selling
