Missouri rules to know before your website goes live
A website doesn’t need a special license, but the business behind it follows the same Missouri rules as any other.
- Newsletters and promotions sent from your business email must include a working way to unsubscribe (16 CFR Part 316). 16 CFR Part 316
- A federal rule (16 CFR Part 465) makes it unlawful to write, buy or sell fake reviews and testimonials, so the reviews on a business website have to be real. 16 CFR Part 465
- Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, businesses open to the public must make their goods and services accessible to people with disabilities, and the Justice Department’s guidance says that includes their websites. ADA.gov guidance
Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
