dude, went to teh police station and they told me that apprently because i bought/traded on here (esato) i should find out where esato is based. This sounds crazy to me....... but they then went on to say that if its not based in the uk, then which ever country its based will determine the laws etc...... wtf!!!! im british, adam roberts is bloody british.....
is this just some spanner at the local cops shop getting it wrong....
in anycase i have soem friends in the police force so will ask them

So where is Esato based then anyway? I'm guessing it's not the UK then lol?

Hang on, hang on.
that pig didn't have a clue what he was on about...
esato is based in europe.. therefore falls under European law, I.e. long distance selling.
try again with the police leeboy...
seems you got a lazy bugger!

ok, well just for my own interest I have done some research on this topic and find that internet law juridiction is a difficult one and has many variables.... I'm still working that issue
but... Norway is not in EU so while Esato is in "Europe", it is not in EU where the distance selling regulations might apply EU-wide.
also... Distance selling regulations states that the contract is between a business, which is defined as "a trade or profession", and a consumer, which is defined as "means any natural person who, in contracts to which these Regulations apply, is acting for purposes which are outside his business"
also, auctions are specifically excluded from protection except buy-it-now which, by their nature, are not an auction.
as I said, I'm just reading up for my own interest but these are my findings so far. The real tricky one is the jurisdiction but tbh, I'm not sure how any of this might help...

yeah... I'm no lawyer either...
also, when buying software online from various overseas companies via the internet we still have to pay VAT at UK rates. I always wonder if that VAT really gets passed on!
