Controversial events

Price-guaranteed proportional smart door

July 28, 2019Beijing Youth DailyAfter receiving the complaint, we investigated and uncovered a trap of SF Express that had long been ignored by consumers.[11]That is to say, when something is damaged under the insured service, the compensation will be very different from the general perception. For someone with an insured price of 20,000 yuan, only 250 yuan will be compensated for damage.

It turns out that SF Express is different from many other express delivery companies in that the guaranteed service terms include[12]"In the event of damage or shortage, SF Express will compensate you according to the ratio of the insured value to the actual loss. When the consignment is lost, the maximum value shall not exceed the declared value of the insured value at the time of consignment." Among them, "the value shall be calculated according to the ratio of the insured value to the actual loss."Proportion"The true meaning of vague terms that most people don't understand is that they imply a set of counterintuitive formulas. For example, if an instrument costs 500,000 yuan and the sender buys insurance for 20,000 yuan,[11]Later, the thing was damaged and the repair fee was 10,000 yuan. I thought that if the amount was less than 20,000 yuan, I would be able to claim the full amount of 10,000 yuan. Unexpectedly, the SF Express algorithm is a more malicious legal concept with implicit accusations, that is, the customer claimed The value of the object is 20,000, but the actual value is 500,000, which implies the imaginary concept of "deliberate underreporting" of the fault. Therefore, a penalty should be imposed. The punishment method is 1/50 of the 500,000 instrument maintenance fee if 10,000 is 10,000. In that case, it will be based on the 20,000 insured. Compensating 1/50 of it is 400 yuan, so people who intuitively believe that they can get 10,000 yuan in compensation will only end up with 400 yuan.[11]

This legal concept is suspected of being overly imaginative. A customer buying a 20,000 yuan insurance may think that he only needs to be protected for 20,000 yuan. It cannot be assumed that the total price of the item claimed by the customer is 20,000 yuan. There is no legal obligation for customers to honestly tell the freight company the actual total value of their items, so the contract is full of overly self-defining, self-created obligations, etc. However, most people sign and ship the goods without understanding or paying attention. contract, or pressing the OK button in the APP, resulting in SF Express being able to claim that both parties agree to this specification, and the customer being put at a disadvantage.

As for whether this clause is an overbearing clause and should be declared invalid by law, it is still in the dispute stage. If consumers really want to take it seriously at this stage, they can only litigate and decide on a case-by-case basis.Renmin University of ChinaLiu Junhai, a professor at the Law School, said that the concept of this treaty is suspected of grafting Chapter 5 of the Postal Law onto Chapter 6. Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary-general of the Consumer Rights Protection Law Research Association of the China Law Society, believes that express delivery companies are The terms listed on the list obviously reduce its own responsibilities and exclude the rights of consumers. They are typical overbearing terms, and the default check on the software violates the right to know. At the same time, there are practical precedents in the case of Xining STO paying compensation to Dawa Sangzhou at market prices that seem to support the position of consumers’ intuitive understanding.[11], so the lawsuit may have a chance of winning, but it is still a troublesome litigation process for most people.
