E-commerce

Let's talk

The rise of e-commerce in the past decade has opened up global markets, allowing businesses and individuals to trade anytime and anywhere in the world. However, this potential for business growth is not without legal challenges. Our goal as lawyers is to ensure your e-commerce or m-commerce legal compliance and to minimise the risks and potential disputes. 

The Prevence legal team will draft and properly regulate the terms of service and/or terms of use for your e-commerce website, create a privacy policy that complies with GDPR and other data protection requirements, provide legal advice on consumer protection issues (product and advertising compliance, withdrawal and return and refund policies, e-commerce compliance with EU and local regulations), advise on all intellectual property protection issues including copyright and trademark protection, and compliance issues related to the processing of online payments. We also draft and review e-commerce agreements, including sales, licensing and supplier and distributor agreements. Where necessary, we represent consumers in consumer disputes, as well as in pre-litigation and litigation proceedings. 

Only a proactive and consistent approach to legal issues in the field of e-commerce can guarantee the success and long-term development of your business. 

We can assist you with the following matters:

  • Development of E-shop rules.
  • Development of privacy and cookie policy.
  • Development of rules on beautification.
  • Drafting of sale and purchase agreements.
  • Issues relating to the drafting and conclusion of distance contracts.
  • Copyright issues.
  • E-commerce licensing and regulatory issues.
  • Legal compliance.
  • Legal monitoring of e-commerce.
  • Advertising law issues.

Preparation of legal documentation for an e-shop

E-commerce is growing continuously and is an essential part of businesses that operate online. However, this growth is accompanied by the need for businesses to have a good understanding of consumer rights, i.e. to ensure that their activities comply with the legal framework. 

Prevence lawyers will carry out a thorough legal review of your website and will prepare all the necessary legal documentation: a privacy policy that will comply with all the requirements of the GDPR regulation, a cookie policy (to avoid consumer disputes), a terms and conditions policy for the online shop or service, a return policy and a refund policy, and a parcel delivery policy. 

Our aim is to provide you with legal services that will enable you to run your e-commerce business smoothly 

Advertising law

E-commerce advertising often requires a balance between effective marketing strategies and legal compliance.   

Advertising law covers many aspects of the validity of advertising claims and ensures that advertising does not mislead consumers. It often fails to consider comparative advertising, where a competitor’s brand is used or services are compared. . We also advise on targeted behavioural advertising issues that relate to the protection of personal data. We advise on the legal compliance of email and SMS marketing, opinion leaders (influencer advertising), sales promotions and competitions,   

We will help you assess all dynamic aspects of advertising and avoid potential disputes. 

E-commerce disputes

In today’s business environment, where e-commerce is growing rapidly, disputes are inevitable.  

E-commerce disputes can range from breach of contract and infringement of intellectual property to infringement of consumer rights and customer data protection. Our lawyers can carry out a thorough legal assessment of the dispute to understand the underlying causes and find the optimal solution through a negotiated settlement and, if a legal process arises, can represent your interests in court or before other legal authorities. 

We are ready to help you spot legal subtleties in the market that often go unnoticed but can be crucial in a dispute.
