The EU e-commerce directive means that your web shop needs to comply with new distance selling regulations. You can obtain your own e-commerce terms and conditions and privacy policy by going to e-terms.co.uk
The purpose of the Directive (and therefore the Regulations) is to ensure the free movement of “information society services” across the European Community and to encourage greater use of e-commerce by breaking down barriers across Europe and boost consumer confidence and trust by clarifying the rights and obligations of businesses and consumers.
In practice this means that you must display a clear refunds and returns policy, and make clear your company details and advise procedures for contacting your company. You should also ensure that you publish a privacy policy to clarify the use of personal data.
It is also good practice to explain when the contract is formed so that any pricing errors on your web site can be corrected prior to the establishment of the contract.
