Key Points to Know

  1. Online businesses frequently engage in various digital contracts with customers, suppliers, and partners. Ensuring these contracts are well-drafted and legally enforceable is essential to protect your interests and avoid disputes.
  2. Consumer protection laws, which regulate product descriptions, pricing, return policies, are particularly relevant for e-commerce businesses. In this regard, the central law regulating consumer protections is the Australian Consumer Law that applies in the same way nationally and in each state and territory. Non-compliance can lead to significant reputional, legal and financial repercussions.
  3. Online advertising must comply with laws regarding truthfulness, non-deceptive practices, and specific regulations for email marketing and online promotions. Understanding these rules helps avoid fines and maintains a positive brand image.
