Golfzon "No Charges for Discrimination Against Non-Franchise Stores"
Screen golf company Golfzon has been cleared of charges, receiving a decision of no suspicion regarding "discriminatory acts against non-franchise stores."
Recently, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office issued a final decision of "no suspicion" against Golfzon, which was reported by the Fair Trade Commission for "restricting the supply of new products to non-franchise stores and other discriminatory trade practices." The prosecutors judged that "Golfzon lawfully operates its business under the Franchise Business Act and determines the supply of ToVision based on a reasonable standard of franchise contract conclusion in its sales policy, which cannot be considered an unfair act."
