Businesses engaging in online sales or services in Vietnam must comply with a number of legal requirements designed to safeguard consumers. These include:

Transparent Information and Pricing
All product details, prices, and sales terms must be clearly displayed. Misleading information or hidden charges can constitute a breach of consumer protection laws.

Personal Data Protection
Collecting and processing customer data must follow Vietnam’s data privacy regulations. Businesses are responsible for securing customer information and obtaining proper consent for data use.

Fair Contract Terms
Online contracts, terms of use, and refund policies should be fair and accessible. Clauses that restrict consumer rights may be considered invalid under Vietnamese law.

Complaint Handling and Dispute Resolution
E-commerce platforms are required to have mechanisms for receiving, addressing, and resolving consumer complaints. Efficient dispute resolution builds trust and protects brand reputation.

Advertising and Promotions Compliance
All marketing content must be accurate and comply with Vietnam’s laws on advertising and unfair competition. False or exaggerated claims can lead to legal sanctions.

By proactively complying with these regulations, businesses not only reduce legal risk but also strengthen customer confidence and brand credibility in the competitive digital marketplace.
