What the mean by that is to have the legal address, street, phone number
and the name of the person,
first and last name you are dealing with in an email basis.

Cut and past the contarct terms of the company to an email and discuss
them with the named person
from the company you are dealing with by email.

No, get the officer of the corporation to put in writing in an email all
terms and condictions of the sale.

No, before purchase and before sending money, put in writing all terms
and conditions of sale and 
what proceedures are to be followed to return the product, who pays what
for its return and how and when
you money will be refunded.

Only a fool would shop online.  You know the trouble it is to get

And no risk?????
