The Trade Descriptions Ordinance (Cap. 362) (TDO) and Sale of Goods Ordinance (Cap. 26) (SGO) are generic consumer protection laws protecting general consumers against unfair trade practices. However, as generic consumer protection laws, TDO and SGO do not specifically address the distant nature of an online transaction. For the pre-purchase stage, TDO and SGO do not contain provisions requiring online retailers to provide information such as contact details, procedures for order cancellation, and goods refund/return policy. Neither do they set out a mandatory cooling-off period, which refers to the period of time following the conclusion of a contract whereby a supplier allows its customers to unilaterally cancel the contract without having to provide a reason.

The Copyright Ordinance establishes a safe harbour regime for intermediaries for copyright infringements. The liability of internet service providers (ISPs) will depend on the type of service being provided. The Copyright Ordinance (CO) provides specific exemption from liability for those service providers who merely provide physical facilities, such as the hardware and network infrastructure to clients/customers for network communications and access through the internet. In addition, for other ISPs, liability for copyright infringement can arise if the ISP itself is found to have engaged in unauthorised acts or it is held responsible for contributing to or making possible the act of infringement by another. Depending on the type of service provided by the ISP, it may be liable for direct copyright infringement, either as a primary or secondary infringer. Under section 22(2) of the CO, even if an ISP does not commit direct infringement, it can still be liable on the basis that it "authorised" the infringing acts.
