Internet & Online Business Transactions
Horzepa Spiegel & Associates assists clients with navigating risks and opportunities in e-commerce, hosting services, cloud services, and other areas of online commerce. Clients, whether they are providers or users of online services, routinely need assistance with service level agreements, online services agreements, data privacy and security, and compliance matters such as the DMCA and U.S.-European Union Safe Harbor Framework. We advise on managing and preventing business disruptions in everyday matters such as liability for data loss, violations of privacy, and liability for hosted content. We also advise clients on complying with regulations including the U.S.-European Union Safe Harbor Framework, and with responding to legal complaints relating to spam, privacy, the DMCA, and other intellectual property matters.
Internet hosting companies: creating opportunities, and managing risks. Hosting services have become a ubiquitous part of business, but they come with their own risks. Whether you are providing these services or are using them, we help strike the right balance between protecting against liabilities while allowing commercial relationships to prosper. We also assist clients with establishing consistency between the warranties and licenses of their online services and their business model, offline policies, and business practices.
