予約システムに掲載してある価格を下回った代金をユーザーから受け取り、XXのホテルを代理で予約しても問題ないでしょうか。
問題なかろうと考えているのですが、念のため確認させて下さい。
■問題ないと考える根拠
・貴社利用規約は確認済みで、この点についての記載はなかった
・予約システム自体も代理店割引をしており、正規の値段より割引く前例がある
・法律上、販売価格は仕入れ価格に依らず自由(独占禁止法の不当廉価には当たらないレベルでの値引きを行う場合)
We assume there is no problem, but we would like to be sure.
Reasons why we assume there is no problem with this doing so:
*We have checked your terms of use, which does not mention anything about this kind of matter.
*The reservation system itself gives agencies a discount, and there are precedents of a discount off from the retail price in the past.
*From a legal perspective, selling prices are arbitrary regardless of wholesale prices (only if a transaction is taken place without unjustifiably cheap price according to the antitrust laws).
I assume that it is not a problem, but I am confirming it for reference.
Reason why it is not a problem
I have checked terms of use of your company, but nothing was listed about it.
At the reservation system, an agency discounts the amount, and there is a case in the past where it is discounted from regular price.
Sales price is not based on purchase price by law (in case where discount is made at a level that it is not low price illegally).
I don't think it should be a problem, but please allow me to confirm just in case.
■The grounds that convincing me it should not be a problem.
- Your terms of use has been confirmed already and there was no description regarding this respect.
- Agency discount is applied to the reservation system itself, and there have been previous cases where the discount was applied to the official price.
- From legal perspective, the retail price is set to be free regardless of the purchasing price (in the case where a discount is applied which is at the level that does not fall under dumping stipulated in the Antimonopoly Act).
・ポイントメディアでも、自サイト経由でXXの予約を行った場合、数%の現金等価ポイントをユーザーに還元している(実質値引き)
・旅行代理店でも、ホテルや飛行機代金を正規の値段から割り引いて販売している例が多々ある
また、XX-数%をサイト内で常に表示してユーザーを募るようなことをするつもりはなく(=XXの最低価格規定を侵害するつもりはなく)、ホテル予約を相談してくれたユーザーに対して、割引の値段を提示しようと考えています。
ご回答宜しくお願い致します。
There are many cases where amount of hotel and air plane is discounted from regular price in travel agency.
We do not intend to attract users by showing several percentage for XX on website all the time (=do not intend to violate regulation of minimum price of XX). We are considering providing a discounted price to users who consult about reservation of the hotel.
We appreciate your answer.
- There are many cases where travel agency sell hotel and flight fees discounted from the normal prices.
Also, we are not intending to constantly displaying the few % discount of XX hotel reservation for user acquisition (which is to violate XX's lowest price regulation), but providing a discounted price for users who have consulted with us for the hotel reservation.
Thank you,
