Unfair Advertisement & Form Contracts

The labeling & advertising and terms and conditions regulation are designed to protect consumers in areas other than conventional fair trade regulation. Recently, however, as the KFTC starts to enforce the law more proactively, cases relating to the labeling & advertising and terms and conditions are expected to increase in number. In line with the government’s increased attempts to protect consumer safety, regulations on labeling & advertisement and terms and conditions are expected to be more agressively enforced in the online and mobile environments as well as in the areas closely related to daily life and safety of people, which would go in tandem with proactive response.

Jipyong's Antitrust & Competition Group strives to provide accurate legal advice based on an in-depth understanding of industries in the emerging consumer protection sector.
