If you're an e-marketer, or owner of a website running a business on the internet, i think like me, the questions which turn around your mind are: what niche market to target, how to promote sucessfully your products, how to generate massive commissions or make dramatically sales, how to get target visitors to your website, etc... I agree with you. But, please don't forget this: Before starting any business online, you ought to have this legal documents on your website to protect yourself and your business: 1.Privacy Policy 2.Terms of Use & Disclaimer 3.Affiliate Agreement (If you run an affiliate program) 4.No-Spam Agreement 5.Copyright Notice 6.Earnings Disclaimer If not, your entire business could be destroyed today. As your business and websites are seen by more and more people everyday, it only becomes more and more risky to not be legal and protected! Now, have a look at these legal documents: -> Privacy Policy This essential document indicates how you collect and use information about your visitors, without it you are opened to problems from visitors and from Federal Government Enforcement Agencies like the Federal Trade Commission. -> Terms of Use & Disclaimer This document protects you in that it limits your responsibility to the users of your website. Without it, your website could be shot down in an instant! -> Affiliate Agreement If you run an affiliate program through, this form is ideal. Allows you to set the terms your affiliates must follow when advertising and selling your products! -> No-Spam Agreement This essential legal document protects you against possible spam abuse and accusations and ensure you in compliance with the latest Can-Spam laws. -> Copyright Notice Protects your content and graphics by outlining how visitors are allowed to use them. Without this you may find your content and profits being stolen from you, you simply cannot be without this simple addition to your site! -> Earnings Disclaimer This is a must have document if you sell marketing information or 'How to Make Money' programs, or even just if you run an affiliate program! One famous internet marketer could have used one of these before the FTC shut down his operations a few years ago! In conclusion, it very important to Take 5 min to generate and upload these legal documents, and continue with your business knowing you are protected and in full compliance with internet law!
