Your Questions About Business Online Backup

Jere answers:

You need a web hosting service which supports online payments like, Master Card, Visa & PayPal. It is very important that your service be uptime. It means that you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and your visitors can view your website whenever they type your website address. If your hosting service is not uptime it is real hell!

If you want to run a successful e-commerce you must choose a reliable web hosting service. The security of your business directly depends on the security of your hosting service. (Hacker safe)

This will not be very easy as it is to do with the supplier contracts you have.

If the people that supply you with the items you sell can agree to be paid after your customers have paid, then you can get away with such an offer.
Then you have to look into credit checking of your buyers to ensure they are credit worthy or you will never get a payment.
In reverse, your suppliers also have to check you to ensure you can pay up out of your assets or whatever backup if your customers do not pay up.

Insurance will also be needed to protect yourself/business.

As you can see, this is very messy and my advise will be for you to grow your business through other means. Cheap/attractive terms will get you a lot of customers in the short run but may throw you out of business. Littlewoods and many catalog companies have a very long history and can afford that kind of arrangement.

If you still think this is a good way to go, the first point of contact will be your suppliers and business insurance providers, for more detailed advise.

You are reproducing someone else’s work, without their permission. That’s a copyright violation.

Incidentally, if you duplicate video tapes, or CDs, or DVDs without the permission of the copyright holder, that’s copyright violation too. I asked about this once, because my daughter had been on a TV show, and I wanted to get it duplicated for backup. The TV show was copyrighted, and so no reputable copy service would do it.

You’d have to get some sort of license and permission from the copyright owners to do this, legally.

Edit: Actually, I DO know what I’m talking about. Way back when cassette tapes and video tapes first came into use, this issue was brought to court. The end result was that a levy was imposed on blank media, and the proceeds of that levy was distributed to various producers of music and shows by way of copyright collectives.

It’s not illegal to digitize a book that you yourself own. It’s illegal to digitize a book for someone else.

Of course, when starting a business, it’s always a good idea to consult a lawyer. In person. So I suggest that the asker do that. Of course, the asker will have to pay money for specific legal questions like this. While lawyers will give free consultations, usually they will only answer things like “Are you experienced in this area of the law, and what are your credentials?”.
