E-commerce

We advise national and multinational undertakings in respect of e-commerce and related issues. We provide full-service advice to all types of undertakings having e-commerce as part of the total business concept.

We advise on, for example:

• jurisdiction
• questions relating to company names and domain names
• possibilities of patenting business methods
• questions concerning compliance with the Danish Marketing Practices Act, the Danish Consumer agreements Act, the Danish E-Commerce Act and the Danish Personal Data Act 
• advice on intellectual property rights, for example the conclusion of agreements on linking, framing and meta tags
• legal aspects of implementation of a digital signature
• advice on the special tax and duty-related consequences of e-commerce.

In practice, advice on e-commerce may result in, for example, the drawing up of standard business terms and disclaimers for e-commerce businesses or drafting of an outsourcing agreement with an application service provider (ASP).

Plesner has extensive expertise and experience in advising companies on privacy policy law, consumer law and marketing law issues in relation to e-trade.
