About this Course

E-commerce is one of the most sought after channels of trade in the present business environment, an opportunity that no industry can ignore. But, given the anonymous architecture of e-commerce, it is critical to take every possible measure to establish best practices so as to bring transparency and disclosure at every stage of the transaction. This is quintessential to uphold trust and confidence in the e-commerce ecosystem. Today's e-commerce markets are characterized by a plethora of products from across the globe, with each entity adopting it's own preferred modes of conveying information and user agreements on its platform.

This Course on “Building E-commerce—The Legal Implements” provides a structured framework that encompasses the key e-commerce concepts and goes on to discover the legal nature of e-commerce contracts and outlines the key terms to be considered while drafting agreements relevant to the e-commerce business.
