Dear {!firstname}:

Welcome to Your WEBSITE LAW ALERT by Chip Cooper and DigiContracts.com

We're still seeing evidence that there are a number of Internet start-ups, despite the economy.

Consistent with this observation is Time magazine's recent piece entitled The New Internet Start-Up Boom: Get Rich Slow. Check it out.

In my March 10 newsletter, I referenced my article about a kitty cat named Simba that walked across a keyboard and clicked on an online agreement. The article was part in jest, and part serious because it addressed an interesting question -- is it possible to bind a non-clicker (in this case the kitty's owner) if the person did not click to indicate agreement? You may read the article here.

I've reflected a bit on this, and the issue of whether non-clickers may be bound is critical for SaaS and ecommerce websites that are seeking to create binding agreements to regulate the use of their sites and online services. If non-clickers can't be bound, it would be easy for a user to avoid contract restrictions by simply having someone else establish the online account.

I've researched a couple of recent cases, and you may read my article entitled Are Non-Clickers Bound By Your SaaS Agreement.

One new feature of our MyLegalFirewall website legal compliance service is that we've combined all of the website documents so that they may be drafted in a single session. For a description of our 3 Packages, go to our MyLegalFirewall page.

So now you have an option in drafting website compliance documents -- draft them all at once with duplicate questions eliminated (the most efficient way), or draft them one at a time. As always, this update is free to existing subscribers.

This my last reminder regarding the May 1 deadline for adopting a Red Flag Identity Theft Policy. For more information, refer to my article entitled SaaS And Ecommerce Sites - Don't Miss the May 1, 2009 "Red Flags" Deadline.
