Website audit and compliance

If you have an existing web site are you up to date with recent changes in the law?
Are you developing a new web site and want to be sure you include the right legal terms and conditions?

Are you aware of the changes in the law that will allow you to streamline your customer processes?

Doing business on-line requires compliance with e-business rules as well as the standard laws.

Depending on the type of business you are in and the customers you are targeting, special rules may apply.

If you carry on business in cyberspace, you need legal advice on a range of issues:

  • ownership and protection of your domain name, logo and trade mark;
  • ownership of the design and content of your Website;
  • contracting with a developer and Internet Service Provider;
  • rights to use software and ordering and billing processes;
  • terms of use of your Website;
  • privacy policy and collection of personal information;
  • dealing with search engines and linking;
  • advertising arrangements;
  • liability issues;
  • consumer rights;
  • security issues;
  • jurisdictional issues;
  • defamation issues;
  • disclosure of your business details;
  • the enforceability of on-line contracts.

Jacobson Consulting will help you make sure that your web site complies with all the relevant e-business laws in Australia, protects your legal rights in the web site and enables you to take advantage of working online, for a fixed price.

Companies put a lot of effort into making sure that their web site is effective. But in addition to making the site look and work properly, it's equally important that you comply with the wide range of laws imposed on web sites in Australia.

Certain industries are heavily regulated.

If you are APRA-regulated then in addition to the other applicable laws your website needs to satisfy the corporate governance standards and have regard to the ASX Governance Council Best Practice Principles. Sign up for our free 3 day introductory corporate governance course which includes our Corporate Governance website disclosure table.

If you are fundraising online then you need to comply with ASIC's policies.

Jacobson Consulting can help you at whatever level you need. From a free Corporate Governance Reporting Guide to a website compliance audit to a Board, CEO and Senior Manager Masterclass we have exactly what you need to improve your electronic shareholder communications.

For a price of $2200 (including GST), we will review your web site to make sure that you comply with these rules. After the review you will get a report which explains, in non-legal terms, the background to the relevant laws, whether you comply and, if not, what you need to do to comply.
