E-Commerce
Berwins have been involved in the legal aspects of website development in e-commerce
since 1998 as e-commerce took off in the public perception. We have been involved
in providing advice and education in the efficacy of e-commerce solutions, the
content of websites, and the agreements necessary to develop websites, as well
as on the ownership of website content, hand in hand with our work in relation
to information technology and intellectual property generally.
We have assisted and can assist either start-up or established internet based
companies or companies with internet presences with such aspects as:
-
website development agreements
-
website hosting agreements
-
website content agreements including terms and disclaimers
-
formation of binding contracts
-
click-wrap contracts
-
contractor agreements for developers
-
terms of business
-
liability for content
Berwins have played a pioneering role in relation to this and are able to provide
services not normally available within traditional law firms.
Berwins’ managing partner Paul Berwin is a member of the Society for Computers
and Law, has written for the Society’s journal, and is the only solicitor in North
Yorkshire recommended in the Legal 500 directory for work on Intellectual Property
matters (of which Information Technology Law forms part).
