His practice focuses on contract drafting and negotiation, business transactions, corporate matters, commercial disputes, and general outside counsel services. Fema works with clients throughout the lifecycle of a business relationship—from structuring an agreement and identifying potential risks at the outset to resolving disputes when contractual relationships break down. His experience includes drafting, reviewing, and negotiating service agreements, independent contractor agreements, employment-related agreements, vendor and consulting contracts, settlement and release agreements, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, commercial leases, corporate agreements, and other business contracts. In addition to private practice, Fema’s experience as in-house counsel provides him with a practical understanding of how contracts operate after they are signed. He approaches agreements not simply as legal documents, but as tools for allocating risk, establishing clear expectations, protecting the client, and reducing the likelihood of expensive disputes. His broader experience includes corporate governance, regulatory and compliance matters, healthcare-related business issues, employment matters, commercial collections, dispute resolution, and litigation. This combination of transactional and litigation experience allows him to evaluate contracts with an eye toward both accomplishing the client’s immediate business objectives and anticipating how contractual provisions may ultimately be interpreted or enforced. Fema earned his Juris Doctor from New York Law School and is admitted to practice law in New York and Indiana. At Birch & Associates PC, the focus is straightforward: responsive communication, practical advice, transparent expectations, and legal work tailored to the client’s actual business needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Asked on Aug 29, 2025

Can I be held legally responsible for a fraudulent eCommerce transaction made on my website?

I recently launched an eCommerce website where users can purchase products from various sellers. However, I am concerned about the possibility of fraudulent transactions being made on the platform. While I have implemented security measures, I want to know if I can be held legally responsible in case a user makes a fraudulent purchase and the seller suffers financial loss as a result.

Randy M.

Answered Aug 31, 2025

Many people think that just running an eCommerce platform means they're not on the hook for what other people do. Turns out, it’s not that simple. You may be held legally responsible if your actions (or omissions) contributed to the fraud or failed to prevent it when a duty existed. It really comes down to how involved you are in the actual buying and selling. The more control you have over payments, product listings, prices, inventory, or customer service, the more you start looking like a real seller in the eyes of the law. And when that happens, your liability goes up fast. It’s one thing to be a neutral space for people to connect, like a digital classifieds board. But if you’re handling the money, writing product descriptions, and managing returns, courts might decide you’re not just a platform. You’re a participant. And then there’s the INFORM Consumers Act (15 U.S.C. § 45f). If your site hosts a lot of high-volume sellers (meaning 200 or more transactions a year totaling $5,000 or more), you’ve got to verify their identities. That includes bank account details, tax ID numbers, and contact info. Plus, you have to give buyers a way to report sketchy behavior. If you skip these steps, the FTC can fine you over $53,000 for each violation. That adds up fast. And if a seller ignores your request for info for more than 10 days, you’re legally required to suspend their account until they comply. Now let’s talk chargebacks. When someone uses a stolen credit card on your site, you’re usually the one who takes the hit. In most card-not-present transactions, merchant (not banks) absorb fraud-related chargebacks. That’s just the industry standard. So having a strong fraud prevention system isn’t just good business. It’s survival. Courts also look at how responsible you are with security. Are you using encryption? Are your payment processors secure? Do you have systems that flag weird activity? If you don’t, and someone gets hurt, you could be on the hook for negligence. Intent isn’t required for negligence, but it is for fraud. Courts will look at reasonableness, not intent. If a buyer or seller loses money on your site because you ignored obvious warning signs, they might come after you. And don’t assume Section 230 (47 U.S.C. § 230) will protect you. That law gives platforms some cover when they’re hosting third-party content, but it doesn’t apply across the board. It won’t shield you from your own conduct, criminal liability, IP violations, or anything involving data privacy. And if you’re too involved in the sales process, that protection can disappear altogether. Then there's PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance. If you’re processing credit cards directly, you’re expected to meet a long list of security standards. That includes how you store payment data, how you secure your systems, and how often you monitor them. The more volume you do, the higher the expectations. And if you don’t meet them, the consequences can be serious. So what’s the smarter route? Use a third-party payment processor like Stripe or PayPal. They take care of PCI compliance and usually absorb the chargeback risk. You should also set up your business as an LLC or corporation to limit personal exposure. Your terms of service should clearly explain your platform’s responsibilities, disclaim liability for seller fraud, and outline a dispute process. Make sure you properly vet sellers (especially the high-volume ones) and use fraud detection tools from day one. Also, make it easy for users to report suspicious activity, and act quickly when they do. The faster you respond, the less likely it is that someone will accuse you of doing nothing. Keep in mind that laws vary from state to state, and they get even more complicated when you’re dealing with international buyers or sellers. You might be fully compliant under federal law and still run into issues under state or foreign regulations. As your platform grows, your legal obligations grow right alongside it. Bottom line? You can reduce your risk, but you can’t erase it. The best thing you can do is build smart systems, stay compliant, and get legal guidance early. Talk to an attorney who understands eCommerce before you launch. That consultation will cost you a lot less than fixing a legal mess later.
