What is concept of abitration?
Arbitration is a method of resolving disputes outside of the court system, where an impartial third party, known as an arbitrator, makes a binding decision. It is often used in commercial and contractual disputes and is favored for its efficiency and confidentiality. The parties involved typically agree in advance to enter arbitration, which can help to expedite the resolution process and reduce legal costs. The arbitrator's decision, known as an award, is generally final and enforceable in courts.
What are the penalties for knowingly misleading the public with marketing material?
False or Misleading Representations and Deceptive Marketing PracticesFalse or Misleading Representations and Deceptive Marketing Practices Under theCompetition ActThe Competition Act contains provisions addressing false or misleading representations and deceptive marketing practices in promoting the supply or use of a product or any business interest. All representations, in any form whatever, that are false or misleading in a material respect are subject to the Act. If a representation could influence a consumer to buy or use the product or service advertised, it is material. To determine whether a representation is false or misleading, the courts consider the "general impression" it conveys, as well as its literal meaning.The Act provides two adjudicative regimes to address false or misleading representations and deceptive marketing practices.Under the criminal regime, the general provision prohibits all materially false or misleading representations made knowingly or recklessly. Other provisions specifically forbid deceptive telemarketing, deceptive notices of winning a prize, double ticketing, and schemes of pyramid selling. The multi-level marketing provisions prohibit certain types of representations relating to compensation.Under the civil regime, the general provision prohibits all materially false or misleading representations. Other provisions specifically prohibit performance representations that are not based on adequate and proper tests, misleading warranties and guarantees, false or misleading ordinary selling price representations, untrue, misleading or unauthorized use of tests and testimonials, bait and switch selling, and the sale of a product above its advertised price. The promotional contest provisions prohibit contests that do not disclose required information.False or misleading representations and deceptive marketing practices can have serious economic consequences, especially when directed toward large audiences or when they take place over a long period of time. They can affect both business competitors who are engaging in honest promotional efforts, and consumers.What Are the Possible Penalties?Under the criminal regime, certain practices are brought before the criminal courts, requiring proof of each element of the offence beyond a reasonable doubt. On summary conviction, the person is liable to a fine of up to $200,000 and/or imprisonment for up to one year. If convicted on indictment, the person is liable to a fine at the discretion of the court and/or imprisonment for up to 14 years.Under the civil regime, certain practices may be brought before the Competition Tribunal, the Federal Court or the superior court of a province and require that each element of the conduct be proven on a balance of probabilities. The court may order a person to cease the activity, publish a notice and/or pay an administrative monetary penalty. On first occurrence, individuals are liable to penalties of up to $750,000 and corporations are liable to penalties of up to $10,000,000. For subsequent occurrences, the penalties increase to a maximum of $1,000,000 for indidividuals and $15,000,000 for corporations. In situations where a person has made materially false or misleading representations about a product to the public, the court may also make an order for restitution, requiring the person to compensate consumers who bought such products, and an interim injunction to freeze assets in certain cases.The Bureau conducts its investigations in private and keeps confidential the identity of the source and the information provided. However, if someone has important evidence about a contravention under the Act, that person may be asked to testify in court.Advertising Dos and Don'tsThe following "Dos and Don'ts" will help businesses comply with the Competition Act.DosDo avoid fine print disclaimers. They often fail to change the general impression conveyed by an advertisement. If you do use them, make sure the overall impression created by the ad and the disclaimer is not misleading.Do fully and clearly disclose all material information in the advertisement.Do avoid using terms or phrases in an advertisement that are not meaningful and clear to the ordinary person.Do charge the lowest of two or more prices appearing on a product.Do ensure that you have reasonable quantities of a product advertised at a bargain price.Do, when conducting a contest, disclose all material details required by the Act before potential participants are committed to it.Do ensure that your sales force is familiar with these "Dos and Don'ts." Advertisers may be held responsible for representations made by employees.Don'tsDon't confuse "regular price" or "ordinary price" with "manufacturer's suggested list price" or a like term. They are often not the same.Don't use "regular price" in an advertisement unless the product has been offered in good faith for sale at that price for a substantial period of time, or a substantial volume of the product has been sold at that price within a reasonable period of time.Don't use the words "sale" or "special" in relation to the price of a product unless a significant price reduction has occurred.Don't run a "sale" for a long period or repeat it every week.Don't increase the price of a product or service to cover the cost of a free product or service.Don't use illustrations that are different from the product being sold.Don't make a performance claim unless you can prove it, even if you think it is accurate. Testimonials usually do not amount to adequate proof.Don't sell a product above your advertised price.Don't unduly delay the distribution of prizes when conducting a contest.Don't make any materially misleading product warranty or guarantee, or promise to replace, maintain or repair an article.Don't use the results of product performance tests and/or testimonials in your advertising unless you are authorized to use them; or if you are authorized to use them, don't distort test results or the scope of testimonials.Don't forget that no one actually needs to be deceived or misled for a court to find that an advertisement is misleading.
What are opinions of Amway?
The opinions on Amway vary as much as there are people with opinions. Opinions are free, that's why people give them vociferously. So one should always be cautious when listening to opinions. 1. Some people regard Amway as a pyramid scheme. This is not the case and was tested in the US courts in the 80's and found to be a very healthy business model. 2. There is no money to be made. As with any business work is required and Amway is no different to any other business and requires the right input for the right results. Buying a franchise requires the new owner to subscribe to that specific franchise's business model and operating system. Amway also subscribes to a specific business model, operating system and work ethic. If someone hasn't made money while many hundreds of thousands around the world have, then the answer is obvious. They never followed the system! 3. Amway is a Multi Level Marketing Company. MLM is sometimes thrown around as a swear word while millions of people in thousands of companies around the world put food on the table as a result of this business model. Negative opinions about multilevel marketing companies normally originate from people's negative perception around direct selling methods because they cant see themselves in that role or they have been approached and irritated by such a person. Due to technological advancements Amway has changed their business model from direct marketing to a referral commission system (very simply put and much more advanced) Robert Kiyosaki, Author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and most widely read financial author in the world, wrote another book, Business of the 21st Century. In this book he speaks about MLM as a business concept. It's worth a read. Then you can have an informed expert's opinion, and not the opinion of someone who opinionates based on personal prejudice.
How does Advertising Affect Consumers?
This is from Vasanth CJ ,Marthandam.Ehem..... There are many ways that both the media and advertisers can influence the masses through deceptive means. A main target of the deception is the college student population. College students spend 10's of billions of dollars every year on everything from toothpaste to automobiles. They make their purchasing decisions based on false logic implanted into their brains by mass media, which focuses on a certain style and image. These moneys that are spent by students far outweigh the still astronomical amount spent by advertisers and marketers. However, those in the marketing industry spend their funds wisely. They get into the psyche of the student mind and play on the images and thoughts we have. They utilize techniques such as inference, false analogy, and sometimes even truth. Utilizing a recent copy of FSView to find advertisements, it does not take long to find the first deceptive advertisement. It is an ad for a new apartment complex, which claims: You can have it all!. This is clearly an example of post hoc, or doubtful cause. Post hoc refers to a situation of linking events as cause and effect. Whereas if you move into this apartment complex you can have it all. Only through hard work can you quote "have it all", not b As consumers we have created a monster by allowing it to get as far as it has, we should not be fooled by what advertisers project. Advertisers are people themselves and realize our weaknesses and prey upon them. Consumers as a whole have allowed deception by advertisers to weaken our national economy, as we purchase more, our personal debt skyrockets. As a result we attempt to find extra work more to pay of these debts only to find that extra work is not available. People have to declare bankruptcy because the have fallen so into debt. They were convinced by deceptive advertising that they need the new car, and the Tommy Hilfigure jeans, the expensive jewelry. We as consumers must realize that there is only perceived need for such spending. If we could just be happier with the 10 year old Ford Escort, and the Levi jeans, and a Timex watch, but even still humans have only four basic needs: food, water, shelter and clothing. Everything else is completely unnecessary. We can survive with the bare essentials. The abutting advertisement to the above is yet another ad for an apartment complex. In this particular ad it uses inference. The advertisement simply lists common features of the apartments and other amenities: that there is a computer lab and racquet ball courts. The makers of this advertisement are inferring that because the apartments in fact have these great features that these apartments are just what you need. The advertiser is using simple facts about the apartments to illicit a decision
