I don't think it's the first time that Dr. Ma's infant swimming pool has appeared. Today, when the material society is extremely rampant, educational institutions are more commercialized, and some franchisees absorb more money in this way. Moreover, the situation of membership cards is very rampant now, and applications for membership are almost everywhere!
First, prepaid, membership card flooding. Nowadays, many enterprises, whether it is education and medical care or training institutions catering industry, will have prepaid and membership cards, but this situation also harms the rights and interests of consumers!
For example, the advance payment in the beauty salon industry of some educational institutions may make consumers invest a lot of money in the early stage, but they can't get services and returns in the later stage, which ultimately damages the rights and interests of consumers!
Membership card system can be said to be very rampant, and almost all walks of life need to apply for membership cards. First of all, it can attract some customers, and secondly, it can make this enterprise earn a lot of money in the early stage!
Second, it is difficult to get a refund. I think the closure of Dr. Ma's infant swimming pool has harmed the rights and interests of many consumers. This is not the first time. There are many prepaid and membership systems now, and many consumers will pay some advance payment and apply for some membership cards in order to be more cost-effective. But if these stores close down, consumers' rights and interests may be damaged!
If the consumer has paid some advance payment, but because the store is closed, he can't spend it in the future, resulting in a loss in the early stage, it is difficult to find a store! The process of refund is also quite difficult!
Thirdly, the measures to rectify the industry's first payment can be said to have a certain risk coefficient, which may cause certain damage to consumers' rights and interests, so it is necessary to rectify the industry and pay compensation.
It is forbidden for some enterprises and industries to collect advance payment from consumers to protect their rights and interests. If it is necessary to pay part of the advance payment, enterprises should sign certain contracts with consumers to protect their rights and interests, which also enables consumers to use legal weapons to protect themselves when their rights and interests are damaged!
