E-Commerce

E-commerce is one of the most regulation-dense commercial models in operation today. Consumer protection rules, distance-selling requirements, payment services regulations, product liability, customs and import compliance, and data-protection obligations all converge on a single checkout flow. The rules vary sharply by market: what is required in Germany differs from what Turkish e-commerce law mandates, and US state-level consumer protection adds another layer. GlobalB Law maps those obligations for clients who are expanding across regions, and builds the compliance architecture before problems arise.

From Launch to Scale

For businesses entering the Turkish market, we advise on the E-Commerce Law and secondary legislation, mandatory seller disclosures, distance contract requirements under the Consumer Protection Law, and KVKK data-protection obligations. For Turkish merchants expanding into the EU, we handle GDPR compliance, the EU Consumer Rights Directive, geo-blocking rules, and VAT-on-services obligations. Payment services, whether via PSP integrations or in-house payment flows, require their own regulatory analysis in each target market.

We also draft and negotiate the full suite of commercial agreements that underpin an e-commerce operation: fulfilment and logistics contracts, supplier agreements, marketplace seller terms, return-policy frameworks, and terms of sale that hold up under consumer protection scrutiny in multiple jurisdictions.
