Running your e-commerce store is so fun! Except for all the legal things.

You love what you do! You love selling your products, running your online shop and business, and hearing from customers.  Yes, it’s happening! 🙌

Every day feels like an exciting game of figuring out the right moves to make and levers to pull to grow your business.

The less fun part? Legal. Ugh.

Here are some of the questions that might be running through your mind:

  • What privacy policies and terms & conditions do I need on my website to cover e-commerce?

  • Do I need an LLC, or should I incorporate?

  • What about sales tax, liability insurance for goods sold, LLC annual filings, and 1099s for contractors?

  • How important is ADA compliance? You’ve heard that ADA trolls have been suing e-commerce companies.

  • Should I trademark my brand? Why? 

  • Do any disclaimers on my website need to be unique and actually written by a lawyer?

And yes, feel free to Google or #chatgpt all your questions, but buyer beware! I probably don’t need to tell you that not everything on the internet is true. 

Efficiency vs. Effort: DIY Can Be a Tough Road

Sure, you can DIY, but what if there’s an issue and you face a steep fine? 😬 

And wouldn’t your time be better spent growing your business? 🤔

Feel free to Google or #chatgpt all your questions, but buyer beware! I probably don’t need to tell you that not everything on the internet is true.

Here are a few things we can help with: 

  • Incorporating your business 

  • Drafting and reviewing terms and conditions & privacy policies for your e-commerce store

  • Resolving disputes with customers 

  • Drafting refund policies and other business policies
