FAQs
Your online store needs terms and conditions
When setting up your online store, it is important to ensure you have your legals in order, and this includes terms and conditions for customers of your products.
Charlotte* came to us, because although she was aware of some legal issues, she needed to be sure. She had investigated the product safety and information requirements, and was sure she was allowed to post her products in the mail. However, she wasn’t aware that she needed to comply with the Australian Consumer Law in terms of advertising, consumer guarantees and refunds. We were able to assist her with terms and conditions for her online store to help her comply with the Australian Consumer Law and to help protect her business going forward, and ensure that any customer disputes could be quickly and efficiently dealt with. She made sure these were put on her website with a tick box functionality.

Your online marketplace needs terms
If you decide that you want to set up an online directory or marketplace that facilitates the introduction between buyers and sellers, and so enables e-commerce, you will need terms and conditions with both the buyers and the sellers.
We helped our client Leigh* with terms and conditions for her directory listing site. They included descriptions about the specific services she provided, and made it transparent about how her website would be monetised. Her terms made it clear that she was only facilitating an introduction and so wasn’t to be involved in any disputes between buyers and sellers. Leigh wasn’t fully aware of her obligations under the Australian Consumer Law, so we explained to her that even though she is just a marketplace, she still needed to comply with the law in this regard in relation to the actual services she was providing.
