From the Paper:

"In the context of B2B, the number of clients that a website handles is usually small if compared with B2C websites but on the other hand the nature and amount of transactions taking place between the two parties is enormous. This only adds to the complexity of legal issues being faced by the businesses. It is necessary for B2B websites to keep track and documentation of all the communications going on between the different partners. Each client would necessarily have an encrypted username and password and even within a single domain there might be divisions to ensure customized information access. Again if two businesses are interacting through the internet and both of them are based in different countries then the issue of contracts and jurisdictions arise, all of which would have to be managed before the actual interaction/transaction begins."
