Lawyer
The present cooperative behavior of both sides
is the lease license relationship.
This morning, Lang Yuanjing, a lawyer at Beijing and the law firm, said the company did not have the qualifications to carry out the payment business. Micro-gold and purse-bag treasure between the two companies, whether it is cooperation or what, in the legal sense, the number of micro-gold general money bag Treasure of the payment platform, and then through some way feedback corresponding benefits to the money bag treasure, This behavior is a loan license relationship. ”
"They are very cunning, in the contract only to say that the sales card machine product line, and did not explicitly write ' mobile phone payment ' word, so escaped the agent for the" Payment business license "concern. "The behavior of the micro-gold number is suspected of fraud, franchisees can resort to legal means to make claims."
But at the same time, it should be noted that the number of fraud cases has occurred, malicious bankruptcy has become the modus operandi of these fraudsters, that is, if the company's registered capital is far lower than the debt owed, once the company filed for bankruptcy, then even through legal means it is difficult to timely compensation for the victims of money, or even become together to pay "unable to enforce" legal cases.
Lang lawyer reminded that the face of the emerging business based on mobile internet, franchisee to the field in the early stage of a comprehensive understanding, and carefully review whether the company has the relevant qualifications, for the company's propaganda, to leave evidence and to distinguish.
