If you’re selling online and your legal foundation is a terms page you copied from another website — this is the week to find out what it’s actually missing.

This week we covered the FTC’s $35 million Shutterstock settlement for alleged auto-renewal disclosure failures, the five legal requirements every online seller has, and why your checkout page, refund policy, and auto-renewal language are all legal documents with specific requirements the FTC enforces.

The Legal Gap Consultation at Zova Law is where that conversation starts. 30 minutes. $125. You’ll know exactly what your current e-commerce legal setup is missing and what it would take to fix it. → legalgap.zovalaw.com

The e-commerce legal compliance checklist for online sellers.

1️⃣ FTC-compliant refund and return policy
2️⃣ Auto-renewal and subscription disclosures BEFORE billing information is obtained
3️⃣ Checkout page disclosures at the point of purchase
4️⃣ Cancellation mechanism as easy as enrollment
5️⃣ Sales tax compliance once you hit nexus thresholds

Most online sellers are missing at least two. Full breakdown on Instagram. → legalgap.zovalaw.com for an e-commerce compliance review.

How many of the five do you have in place? Drop it in the comments.

If you sell subscriptions or auto‑renewals, the FTC’s $35M settlement with Shutterstock is your warning. Shutterstock marketed “no commitment” while hiding renewal terms, didn’t show key terms before payment, and made cancellation harder than signup.

The FTC now requires every online seller to:

• Disclose all subscription terms upfront
• Get clear, informed consent
• Make cancellation as easy as enrollment

These rules have been federal law since 2010 — and the cost of ignoring them is real.

If your checkout terms, refund policy, or auto‑renewal language aren’t crystal clear, you may have the same compliance gaps the FTC identified.

Legal tips for small business owners who sell online: the refund policy you copied from another website, the auto-renewal terms buried in your footer, the checkout disclosures that don’t say what the FTC requires — those are the documents that get read when a chargeback arrives or a regulatory inquiry lands. 👇

This week at Zova Law: the e-commerce compliance checklist every online seller needs before the next sale. What’s the legal document in your e-commerce setup you’re least confident about? Drop it below.

Legal tips for small business owners who sell online: your refund policy, checkout terms, and auto-renewal language are all legal documents — and most e-commerce sellers have none of them right. Small business attorney advice on e-commerce compliance. 👇

Most online sellers think their terms of service covers everything. Here’s what the FTC actually requires for any business offering subscriptions, auto-renewals, or free trials:
→ Clear and conspicuous disclosure of all material terms BEFORE the consumer’s billing information is obtained — not after, not in fine print, not in a footer
→ Express informed consent — a checkbox that says ‘I agree to the terms’ is not enough if those terms don’t disclose the specific subscription terms
→ A cancellation mechanism that is at least as simple as the enrollment process — you cannot require a phone call to cancel a subscription the customer signed up for online
→ A refund policy that is specific enough to be enforceable — vague language about ‘all sales final’ or ‘no returns’ is not sufficient when the customer disputes a charge

How to protect your business legally when selling online: thirty states also have their own automatic renewal laws with specific language requirements — and California’s is among the strictest. An online seller who has any California customers has California law obligations, regardless of where the business is located.

Legal mistakes entrepreneurs make: treating their terms of service as a formality rather than a legally binding disclosure document. When those terms don’t say what the law requires, the business is already in violation.

At Zova Law, e-commerce compliance review is part of the legal infrastructure we build for every client who sells online — because a chargeback is the first sign of a compliance gap, not the worst one.

Legal mistakes entrepreneurs make: signing NDAs without reading them. You see the signature line. You skip the provisions that govern what happens when something goes wrong. That’s where it gets expensive — and that’s exactly what the NDA doesn’t cover when you haven’t read it. 👇

This week at Zova Law: the five clauses that actually determine whether an NDA protects you. What’s the NDA situation you’ve been meaning to clean up? Drop it below.

Creators spend a lot of time thinking about what they’re building—but not always about the legal foundation underneath it.

Next week, we will be talking about the legal issues creators should understand as they grow their brands, businesses, and creative work, including ownership, contracts, intellectual property, and business structure.

Because protecting your work should not be an afterthought.

Most founders sign NDAs assuming both parties are equally protected.

They’re not. The protection runs in the direction the drafter designed it. An investor’s NDA is written to protect the investor — narrow confidentiality definition, broad disclosure exceptions, short expiration. When you sign without reading, you’re agreeing to all of it.

This week at Zova Law: the five NDA clauses that determine whether you’re actually protected. Full breakdown on Instagram. → legalgap.zovalaw.com for NDA review before you sign.

Have you ever signed an NDA someone else drafted without reviewing it first? Drop it in the comments.

If your privacy policy came from a free template or hasn’t been reviewed since you launched — this is the week to find out what it’s missing.

This week we covered the FTC’s July 2026 lawsuit against Hims & Hers for allegedly sharing health data with advertisers despite a privacy policy that said otherwise, the five things every small business privacy policy is required to disclose, and why the gap between what your policy says and what your tools do is where enforcement lives.
