E-Commerce Legalities Made Simple

For entrepreneurs looking to enter the world of online commerce, the American Bar Association has launched a new website designed to give them a solid legal resource for their new businesses. SafeSelling.org offers all the legal information entrepreneurs need to operate an online store, from customer security to payment processing. The site was launched Saturday at ABA's annual meeting and was developed by the ABA Section of Business Law's Cyberspace Law Committee. "We wanted the site to be intuitive for the typical small business owner," said SafeSelling.org editorial director Jonathan Rubens. "From obtaining a domain name to protecting customer privacy, our SafeSelling.org site offers a complete range of logically listed mini-topics to help our target audience find the facts they need." The new site is a follow-up to SafeShopping.org, the committee's guide to online shopping, which provides advice on critical factors, such as making secure online payments and knowing which purchase records to keep.--Kevin Manahan Posted by Kristin Edelhauser at 8/15/2007 4:40:00 PM
