The Hidden Legal Risks In Your Website
Your Website Is a Legal Document, and You Are Getting Most of It Wrong.
Most founders treat their website as a marketing tool. It is actually a legal document, and almost every business is getting several parts of it dangerously wrong.
In this video, business and intellectual property attorney Jessica Eaves Mathews of Leverage Legal Group walks founders through the exposures hiding inside every website, from privacy policies that no longer meet the requirements of the twenty US states with comprehensive data privacy laws, to GDPR obligations triggered the moment a European visitor lands on the page, to ADA accessibility rules that generated more than four thousand federal lawsuits in 2023 alone.
Learn why the beautiful Pinterest image you added to a product page can turn into a Getty Images demand letter for tens of thousands of dollars two years later, why cherry picked testimonials and undisclosed influencer relationships can trigger FTC fines of up to fifty thousand dollars per violation, and why product claims such as organic, sustainable, all natural, and made in the USA carry defined regulatory standards that class action attorneys are actively watching.
Jessica also breaks down the difference between terms of use and terms of service, why the shopping cart terms are a completely separate contract, and why the cookie consent default many American businesses use is itself a GDPR violation.
