The list is long. In an attempt to keep up with rapid technological developments, a slew of ever expanding and evolving State, Federal and International legislation imposes various rules and regulations on all of these aspects.
In today’s world a business owner is faced with an unlimited number of questions with regards to technology.
Even a simple introductory Website is actually operating in a legally complex environment and its owner faces many risks.
To begin with, you will be signing website development, implementation and hosting agreements, which need to be properly negotiated in order to properly communicate your needs and to preserve your company’s rights to the site and to any intellectual property associated with it. By the same token, any carelessly added word combination, including your domain name, slogan, image, or even a link to another website may be the source of a future issue with copyright or trademark infringement.
If your site offers products or services, every sale you make is a contract with the customer on the other end of the click. It is important to remember that you are not physically there to negotiate this contract or explain away any of its terms. Practically any and all information you provide on the site can be interpreted as a promise on your part. Unclear wording or lack of a simple disclaimer can lead to disastrous consequences of potential breach of contract, misrepresentations and even accusations of fraud.
Colby Law Office can assist you in drafting all of the documents critical to the effectiveness and success of your business’ use of the Internet and Technology.
