Local competition in Malden

What Missouri asks of a business with a website
A few rules apply to any Malden business that sells or advertises online:
- 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
- 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
Each business is different; this is general information, not legal advice.
