New UK Requirements for Web and Email
I haven’t fully digested this article yet and I think it’s one for the legal team to organise but through the Campaign Monitor Blog, I was pointed to this article about UK legal requirements for websites which in turn sent me to this more comprehensive article: "The UK’s E-commerce Regulations" on out-law.com:
The Register states:
Companies in the UK must include certain regulatory information on
their websites and in their email footers before 1 January 2007 or they
will breach the Companies Act and risk a fine.
I know that with e-mails, these are regarded as business communications so have the same stipulation as a company letterhead and for limited companies must include your registered address and company registration number, ie:
The Escape Design Co. Ltd registered in England No. 3523822. Reg. Address: Loddon Business Centre, Roentgen Road, Basingstoke RG24 8NG, UK
As for websites it is worth bearing the following next post in mind.
