The "top stream" ice piers have continued to arouse heated discussions in recent days." The reporter learned that the WeChat solitaire group purchase attended by some citizens was also stopped, and some regiment leaders have started the refund process, on the grounds that they may have to bear legal responsibility.
The group buying WeChat group where Ms. Wu, a citizen, was located suddenly released the news of the refund of the ice pier group purchase yesterday afternoon, after the link to the ice pier ornament pre-sale by Solitaire had been deleted by the group solitaire official. The head of the group said that although the pre-sale of ice pier ornaments is a genuine product ordered from authorized manufacturers, the group solitaire platform is not a licensed sales channel, so it has been officially removed from the shelves, and other pre-sale products will not be adjusted for the time being.
As mentioned in the group announcement, this ornament is pre-sold for a total of about 17,000 pieces, a total of about 2 million yuan, because of the order volume and large amount involved, it will be refunded in batches under the order time.
The ice pier ornaments were first asked to be removed from the shelves for refund, and other related peripheral products were also affected to varying degrees. Xiao Yang, who usually participates in group buying and occasionally becomes the leader of the group, told reporters that the group purchase solitaire she participated in before has indeed been "one size fits all", and the buyer can no longer "get on the car", but has not received the news of terminating the transaction and refunding.
"The regimental commander can still see the news of the registration purchase in the background, and if there is no refund, he can still ship to the group members who have placed orders." According to Xiaoyang's understanding, some leaders may have purchased genuine products through relevant production channels, but the online sales channels for the licensed goods of the Beijing Winter Olympics are only Tmall flagship stores, so there will be this storm, "Of course, I have also seen a lot of obviously non-genuine, some say '3D printing version', and some also directly indicate 'Yiwu delivery'." ”
Judging from the results of the reporter's interview, whether it is a direct refund of the "one pot end" or a "cut a knife" to stop continuing to solitaire, the goal of each platform is very clear: to stop. The reason is simple – such sales are actually illegal.
When the reporter interviewed the licensed retail store located in the Exchange Center of shanghai University of Sport this week, the store staff said that the franchise store needs to pay a certain authorization fee to the Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, so the relevant goods produced by the licensed manufacturer will be sold in the store. Even so, the current inventory will also give priority to the Beijing Olympic Village and the Gongmei flagship store, so the authenticity of many so-called "spot" and "early delivery" needs to be verified.
Article 10 of the Regulations on the Protection of the Olympic Symbol states:
Where the permission of the right holder of the Olympic symbols is obtained to use the Olympic symbols for commercial purposes, a license contract shall be concluded with the holder of the rights to the Olympic symbols. The holder of the right to olympic symbols shall promptly disclose information such as the type of Olympic symbols that they are permitted to use, the licensees, the goods or services they are permitted to use, the time limit, and the geographical scope. The licensee shall use the Olympic symbols within the scope of the types of Olympic symbols, the goods or services permitted for use, the time limit and the geographical scope stipulated in the license contract.
At the bottom of the homepage of the website of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee, there is a column "Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Franchise Plan", which lists the official online store of licensed goods, as well as the information of franchise enterprises and retail stores.
Needless to say, illegal traders make and sell counterfeit goods, and authorized manufacturers cannot privately sell licensed goods to unauthorized stores and individuals, and it is also illegal for unauthorized stores and individuals to sell goods produced by formal authorized manufacturers and then sell them to the outside world.
In the past few days, we can also clearly see that with the continuous increase in the heat of the ice pier, the relevant departments are also constantly exerting their strength and striking hard.
First, the Beijing public security seized a large number of "ice piers" and "snow rongrong" dolls from three lawbreakers and detained them according to law, and at the same time severely punished the three "scalpers".
On the 9th, the Zhejiang Jinhua Huayang Municipal Market Supervision and Administration Bureau also piled up 77 "ice piers" with a specification of 30cm, 7 with a specification of 50cm, and 1,000 semi-finished products of "Snow Rongrong", which were sold through a daily necessities co., LTD. in Yiwu and other channels in the production workshop of a company. At present, the person concerned has been criminally detained.
The production and sales process of ice piers are getting tighter and tighter. Therefore, the small partners still patiently wait for a while, and occasionally wrap the ice pier tangyuan to relieve the hunger. In a month at most, the wish of "filling the pier" will surely come true!
