Abstract

Daily business transactions are effected by many aspects of the law, many unknowingly. When transactions occur in an e-commerce environment, merchants, consumers, and B2B should be concerned with protecting their interests when many of the parties involved are known only by a screen name, email address or website. Parties engaged in transactions through the Internet should be mindful that the same issues that arise in a brick and mortar environment exist in cyberspace; but protecting and enforcing the various rights a person may have in cyberspace is a different ballgame. In addition to the practical concerns of global and cyber commerce, many of business issues and practices are relatively untested in both the legislative and judicial branches of government. This article is a summary of the legal issues that can arise in the e-commerce.
