First of all you need to ensure your website is compliant with the Visa and MasterCard regulations this includes having the Visa and MasterCard Logo setup on the FrontPage.

Your will need to have a return policy in place in your case selling Internet Services it is more a refund policy which you need to make clear how you will handle customer enquiries and if it is possible to become a refund if you as a customer are not satisfied with the service bought.

Once the above is in place you will need to make sure to have a Terms and Condition page where you list which terms and conditions that apply for the delivering of your Internet Services, what the customer buying any Internet Service from you need to agree to and how support enquiries are handled.

A good thing to have is a Privacy Policy which clearly states that you won’t share any customer data with any third party or that you will sell the e-mail address or any other data to anyone.
