Consumer perception of “unfair standard terms”
and lead collection investigation report
the survey suggests
87.88% of consumers
Encountered unfair format terms
Over 70% of consumers
Forced to agree to the content of the standard terms
The survey shows that the participants in the survey generally have a better understanding of the standard terms. 87.88% of consumers have encountered unfair standard terms. After encountering unfair standard terms, more than 70% of consumers still choose to continue trading. The main reason is that the operator is too strong and consumers are forced to agree to the standard terms. Transaction cannot be continued.
When most consumers encounter unfair consumption, they can correctly choose the channel of consumer rights protection [enter the black cat complaint] .
At the same time, nearly one-fifth of the respondents chose to “endure in silence”, indicating that the high cost of rights protection and the unsatisfactory effect of rights protection make consumers lack confidence in rights protection.

consumers to improve
Contract awareness and rights protection awareness
The “Report” proposes from the perspective of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of consumers in standard contracts that a whole-process consumer rights protection system should be established before and after the event.
The first is to control the source and strengthen the prevention in advance. Operators should enhance their sense of fairness and responsibility, formulate standard contracts in a fair and reasonable manner, and fulfill their obligations of prompting and explaining. Consumers should improve their awareness of contracts and rights protection, and fully understand the signed format contracts.
The second is process control, strengthening supervision during the event. Continue to vigorously promote the standard contract model, and improve the implementation of the standard contract filing system.

The third is to seriously investigate and punish and improve post-mortem relief. Make full use of channels such as acceptance of complaints and reports and public opinion monitoring, timely accept consumer-related complaints and reports, strengthen dynamic monitoring, analysis and judgment of public opinion, and establish and improve a clue discovery mechanism for unfair format clauses. For problematic contract terms, consumer associations and relevant regulatory authorities should comprehensively use suggestions, interviews, and requests for rectification to urge enterprises to make rectifications in a timely manner.
