Setting up an e-commerce site...

[brendanb1801]

Hi,

I am setting up an e-commerce site and want to know if their are any laws I need to adhere to that aren't the obvious. I understand that I need to have T&C's, etc. I know that there are a lot of rules and regulations but they all seem pretty self explanatory but are there any laws as such?

Thanks
