Commerce Regulations 2002
In the year of 2002 the European Union (EU) had started particular requests to partners to get the E-
Commerce controls connected. This implies when setting an E-Business in the event that you offer
online for individuals to buy you should remember what the guidelines and controls are for E-
Commerce. There are a couple of imperative guidelines a business must follow, these are as follows:

give the terms and conditions to their customers when they create a new account that they know
what to expect from the business. This data has to be kept in a protected environment and it must
be accessible to the customer at any time.
