Ontario rules for a business with a website
Before launch, it helps to have the basics in order. These apply to many small businesses in Ontario:
- Since January 1, 2021, the AODA has required a business or non-profit organization with 50 or more employees to make its public websites accessible: web content posted after January 1, 2012 must meet the WCAG 2.0 Level AA success criteria, with some exceptions. Ontario.ca: accessible websites (AODA)
- An online transaction worth more than $50 is covered by Ontario’s Consumer Protection Act, and the business must disclose certain information to the customer before the transaction is completed. Ontario.ca: online shopping
- Under Canadian competition law, it is against the law to make materially false or misleading representations to promote a product, service or business interest, and the law also prohibits the unauthorized use or distortion of tests and testimonials. Competition Bureau
