Full Definition of Clicks And Mortar


A traditional, physical, brick-and-mortar store that also has an online, e-marketing portal is referred to as a “click and mortar store.” The fundamental shift from bricks and mortar to clicks and mortar has changed the rules of due diligence in the context of mergers and acquisitions.

As the economy shifts, traditional brick-and-mortar businesses are taking advantage of the Web and expanding their online presence. As a result, brick-and-mortar stores are increasingly becoming the norm. Intellectual property and information are among the assets of brick-and-mortar businesses. Due diligence necessitates a review of open-source software and its potentially viral effect on issues arising from electronic commerce. When computer information is held or created, electronic due diligence is required. Most agreements concentrate on tangible property concepts, but as intellectual property rights become more important, acquisition agreements must also concentrate on intangible intellectual property rights.
