Paperwork and rules for South West businesses online

Putting your business online does not change the rules, but these points are worth checking:

  • You must not send marketing emails or texts to individuals without specific consent; there is a limited exception for your own previous customers, often called the soft opt-in. ICO: email marketing
  • When you sell online, you must tell the customer they can cancel their order up to 14 days after it is delivered, and they do not need to give a reason. GOV.UK: online and distance selling

General information, not legal advice. Each link goes to the official page, where the details for your situation are.
