Legal notice
A legal notice on an e-commerce website is typically structured through crucial legal pages: Terms & Conditions (Terms of Service), a Privacy Policy, and a specific Disclaimer regarding product usage and independent supplier fulfillment.
For an online store operating in India, it is highly recommended to have these clearly visible in your website footer to comply with the Information Technology Act, 2000 and Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules.
Here are the essential templates tailored for an Indian e-commerce business.
