hi there
I am looking at setting up a website to sell some of the products I make. I plan on taking payment with Paypal, and whilst the items I am selling can't really do any harm, and it's very unlikely I can be sued etc, I am trying to add some terms and conditions to help out.
Now I KNOw this what legal people are for, but again costs are a problem. I dont' want to start a co. as this is something were I might only sell a few €ks of items a year, and is very much a part-time thing. I've gone through quite a bit of reading and added most of the usual suspects to my T&C. Again, I appreciate to make these water tight I'd need legal advice, but again what i am selling is low / no risk and also costs are key at the moment
The problem I am having is I keep refering to the site by it's domain name. So lets say "ACME.com", as in "ACME.com accept no responsibility for...."
I get that in most cases people just put in their company name at the start in the definitions and say something like "ACME.com a registered company with offices at XXXXX" etc. Then for the rest of the T&C it is implied that ACME.com refer to the main company.
However, in my case, as I am a sole trader and don't want to get into this, and would prefer not to list my name, address, TAX, VAT info etc on the web. Can anyone suggest a way around this, or is the only solution to form a company so I could say "ACME DESIGNS" where that is a registered company name
Basically I need some way of trying the domain name in to make it a bit more legal. Otherwise the T&Cs will be useless I feel as it would be almost impossible to define who was being grouped as "ACME.com" when it came to the terms etc.
Any ideas of a way to tie this in, in the first line of definitions or is saying ACME.com enough?
