Our Dallas Internet Law and eCommerce Attorneys understand the importance of guiding your business through the steps necessary to conduct business online.

E-Commerce Issues
The use of a website for eCommerce may require the owner to abide by standards imposed by both U.S. and International regulations, including standards in various forms of advertising, collection of information, and security. HIPPA and COPA are two examples of regulations affecting online commerce.

Domain Name Issues and Recovery
Our attorneys can assist you in the legal issues that arise with Internet website hosting and development. Domain names can be protected as trademarks if they are distinctive in nature. On the other hand, inclusion of a third party's trademark in a domain name can be held to be trademark infringement or cybersquatting. Our attorneys can guide you in the use of your domain name and in ICANN proceedings that may arise relating to its use. We also can help you recover domain names misappropriated by third parties.

On-line Agreements
Our attorneys can help you implement, enforce, and update different online policies. We can help you draft online contracts such as click-wrap agreements, privacy policies, and terms of use agreements for your website that comply with industry standards as well as federal and state consumer protection laws. Furthermore, we can help you protect your trade secrets and online business practices.

On-line Advertising
On-line advertising is often crucial for a business. Our attorneys can guide you through the legal issues that can arise from keyword, adword, and meta tag use. The use of keywords, adwords, and meta tags can often include trademarks, so caution should be exercised when using the trademarks of a third party to advertise one's business. The improper use of keywords, adwords, meta tags, or third party trademarks can result in claims of trademark infringement, likelihood of initial interest confusion, or dilution of mark. Our attorneys can also assist you with issues that can arise from unfair competition and false advertising practices.

Online-related Policies
Our attorneys regularly counsel clients on policies geared toward the online marketplace. Our attorneys can you assist you keeping your online business in compliance with U.S. and, where applicable, foreign laws regarding online use. We counsel on online issues, including database protection, electronic signatures, information licensing, and online contracting.
