Important changes to distance selling regulations
New business to consumer selling regulations came into force on the 13th June 2014. If you sell to the public through the Internet you need to take note of the Distance Selling Regulations and update your website terms and conditions.
A number of online resources are available, Ballyhoo can even help you source e-commerce terms and conditions templates, but ultimately as the business owner you are responsible for the content of your T&Cs and must ensure that you adhere to them.
Some of the areas that the new rules affect include pricing breakdowns, cooling off periods, premium customer service helplines, delivery and cancellation.
We'll also be looking at how the new rules affect the Ballyhoo Commerce e-commerce engine and will keep you updated on this matter.
