Core legal Issues:
Contracts: The Information Technology Act, 2000 (IT Act) deals with
contractual aspects of use of electronic records, such as attribution,
acknowledgement, time and place of dispatch and receipt.
Security: It Security over the Internet is of immense importance topromote e-commerce. Companies that keep sensitive information on
their websites must ensure that they have adequate security measures
to safeguard their websites from any unauthorized intrusion.
Privacy & Data Protection: An important consideration for every e-
commerce website is to maintain the privacy of its users. Presently thereexists no legislation in India that upholds the privacy rights of an individual
or organization against private parties. While the Constitution of India
upholds the right to privacy as a fundamental right of every citizen,9 the
right is exercisable only against a State action. Even the IT Act addresses
the issue of protecting privacy rights only from Government action.

What do you anticipate Buyonlineindia.com will do to thwart
competition and how Buyglobal.com can preempt these measures
Buyonline.com is the no. 1 e-commerce portal in the country and has a
competitive advantage over other players. Since buyonline.com is available
on a large spectrum in the market.
Buyonline.com is not profitable in all segments and is getting profits onlyon some of the niche segments, what buyglobal.com can do is to serve on
to those areas where buyonline.com is making losses.
And if the market is analyzed properly and understand the needs of the
customer buyglobal.com can wiped off the competition and become the
leader into those segments and then target the other segments.
