Keeping my Spanish Web Site Legal

I have created this page in conjunction with our  Law Firm, Martinez Echevarria who specialise in Internet law, so this is not just my subjective opinion but is pure fact.

So, the question is, "I run a business in Spain which has a web site. What are my legal obligations to web site visitors and clients"

The clients of the business (any web site visitor) shall be obliged to have at their disposal the necessary tools allowing them to obtain, by electronic means, easy, direct and free access to the following information :

a)    The name or Company name; address of  residence or of one of their offices in Spain; e-mail address and all details which can help to get in touch with the business owner directly and effectively;

b)    Details of the company inscription to the Commercial Registry or to each other Public Registry;

c)    If the activity of the company is in connection to a previous administrative authorization, the details of that authorization and of the office in charge of the supervision;

d)    If the business exercises a State Regulated profession, they have to indicate:

- The details of the Professional College  as well as the collegial number;

- The academic official title or profession with which the business trades with;

-    The European  Union State or the Economic European Space in which that title was issued, and in that case, the related homologation or appreciation;

-    The applicable professional rules of his profession and the middles by means of which they can be known, electronics includes;

e)    Fiscal identification number;

f)    When the web site of the business  contains price information, products or services,  it should be clear and exact and if it is VAT included or not, and in case of transport fees, mention the costs of transport;

g)    In the case of a code of conduct, there must be clear links to this information;

The obligation to forward this information should be considered fulfilled if the company include it in the web  site and in the indicated conditions.
