The FTC, also known as the Consumer Protection Agency, has just sent you notification that your site is in non compliance. They list the compliant and issues on your site. Do you know what to do?

  • Do you ignore the communication from the FTC?
  • Do you immediately call your attorney?
  • Do you immediately shut down all activity on your website?

The answers to all these questions are NO.

These are the things you need to do:

  1. Find out what is causing your site trouble from the FTC.
  2. Take immediate action on these items. In some cases you may need to go as far as freezing your business until you get your site back into compliance.
  3. Test your changes against the issues and complaints.
  4. Be prepared to show proof that your changes work.
  5. Restart your business and be prepared for the next visit from the FTC.

In most circumstances you will only have little time to make your changes before the FTC comes back to recheck your site. If changes have not been made, be prepared to have your site shutdown. Extreme situations will have your accounts frozen and possible fines implemented.

In extreme situations, it is important to find representation from an attorney that can provide the right kind of defense for your situation. I have only heard of one case where a internet marketer had so many complaints that his site was shutdown, bank accounts frozen and heavy fines over $100,000. These are extreme cases, but it is impossible to know what the FTC will do, so it is always best to stay vigilant.

Take a look at our website’s legal pages to get an idea of how to get your site in compliance. At the bottom of these legal pages is a link to purchase the same legal software we use on all our websites. It is second to none.

So you probably have heard a few webinars about software that can 100% protect you from a FTC investigation. No attorney or Legal Software Form can 100 percent guarantee your safety while shopping or doing business. Even if you have their very professional looking logo on your site, you will not be anymore protected than the next online business. Most of these sites are memberships sites and add very little value for your money. It is unfortunate, but I see a lot of people spending a lot of money on a membership that gives them nothing more than just a logo and updates to legal forms. I don’t see the value.

If you have made an effort to buy software to help you get into compliance, then you are better protected than the next site that has done nothing. It is those that do nothing which should really worry about being fined or their accounts frozen. Making the effort to have bought the software and implemented the software is enough. Nothing more is needed. You should not need to pay monthly to get an update to a simple form change.

The companies that should be concerned are those owners that snub their noses at the FTC and do not listen to their requests. Keep in mind that you cannot fight the FTC, IRS or FDA. Unless you have a huge budget and millions of dollars to represent your company, it is best to just make the changes that have been requested of you. In this way you can continue on with your business and avoid the courts or heavy fines.

There is one thing I do not recommend doing. Do not pay for a monthly membership fee to keep your site in compliance. The software we sell here can keep help you get your site in compliance for just a one time fee. That fee will give you a lifetime of upgrades for free. Those sites that are charging you a monthly fee are not providing enough of a value to justify the cost.

A monthly fee should include some kind of representation or access to their attorneys for questions. Just providing you updates to their forms in my book is not considered a value added feature. For the same thing these other guys are charging as a monthly fee, you are getting it all free with Auto Web Law Pro.

Give it a try for yourself and see what you think. I personally use this software for all my websites and love it. In 10 minutes I can have a website up and running with all the necessary legal forms represented on my site. The great thing about this software is it leaves nothing up to chance. You enter a bit of information that the form will request and in less than a minute you have a complete legal form that can be copied and pasted right into your site. I am a very satisfied, long term user of the software. Feel free to ask me any questions about this software. I will be happy to answer your questions.
