eCommerce refers to transactions between a seller and a customer that take place over the internet, cell phones, electronic exchanges, or an extranet where suppliers, buyers, and sales employees can access and purchase items or services. Those operating online must obey and be protected by the same regulations as businesses operating offline. Buyers can download or print receipts from online sales as proof of ownership. Shipping products can be tracked using specific customer numbers or order details until the shipment arrives at the door.

Litigation for these transactions is handled by a legal specialist or an eCommerce law firm that is familiar with Internet law and how online sales work. Before entering a contract or providing products and services, consult with a legal counsel or law firm to determine the company's rights and responsibilities.

A legal professional is also useful for creating privacy policies, disclaimers, sales agreements, service contracts, warranty information, and resolving conflicts between parties when web hosting. Using a legal specialist to protect your business, regardless of who you do business with, is critical for saving you money, time, hassle, and potentially your business.
