Franchising | Legal Risks and Prevention of Fees Charged by Franchisors

Although the "Regulations on the Administration of Commercial Franchising" and the "Measures for the Administration of Information Disclosure in Commercial Franchising" stipulate the collection of other fees, in practice, due to weak legal awareness and unclear agreements, many disputes arise when franchisors collect other fees.

Less than three hours before the performance, the ticket I bought on Xianyu was maliciously canceled, leaving only a cold statement on the page: "The seller has closed the order, and the payment has been refunded through the original route." The performance I had been looking forward to has now turned into a bubble, and the travel expenses, accommodation fees, and other costs incurred for this are wasted. The second-hand ticket trading has gradually become a lawless land for harvesting consumers.

Perspective | Determining the Location of Infringement in Third-Party Shipping Network Sales
The infringing product in question is sold online, where the online seller only purchases the corresponding goods from a third party after the buyer submits an order, and instructs the third party to directly ship the goods to the buyer. Is the shipping location subject to infringement? Regarding online sales, it is widely accepted that the delivery location should not be used as a jurisdictional connection point for infringement cases against the online seller. However, whether the shipping location can serve as a jurisdictional connection point for the seller in infringement cases remains controversial. The Supreme People's Court has released a weekly case, case number (2023) Supreme Court Civil Jurisdiction Final 170, in which the court clearly supports the idea that the third-party shipping location can be used as a jurisdictional connection point. One of the key points is whether the shipping location is determined by the will of the online purchaser.
