'Xiaomi asked for a post, I firmly refused, Xiaomi The party also said that it has never received relevant information from e-commerce companies, and there is no such thing as 'Millet does not accept insurance mobile phone detection'.
Finally, Mr. Chen and Xiaomi reached an oral reconciliation. Xiaomi promised to compensate the mobile phone for 1299 yuan and the bedside table for 500 yuan for a total of 1799 yuan. At the same time, Mr. Chen was asked to sign the agreement. 'The agreement requires that the matter cannot be published on the Internet or the media.'
Online shop and manufacturer contradict each other, who is right?
On the 11th, after leaving work, Mr. Chen went to the Xiaomi store to see the agreement and put forward several amendments. The store manager said that he would report it to the company. On the other hand, Mr. Chen felt that Xiaomi Fang and the online shop were contradictory and a bit embarrassed.

I can only go to Xiaomi. At the same time, as of press time, Xiaomi did not further contact Mr. Chen on the matter of amending the agreement.
Consumer confusion
If I don't post, I can only get 300 yuan. Can the compensation standard be unified and transparent?
At present, Mr. Chen is still waiting for news. He also feels a lot of emotions for a week of tossing back and forth.
'The yield of the product is unlikely to reach 100%. There will always be a small probability of happening. Therefore, a ruler is the right amount to solve the problem fairly and transparently.

And I sent a post, which can get 1799 yuan in Xiaomi. Then I Can't help but guess, if I agree to delete the post, can I get more compensation? So, is it too unfair for those who are not good at posting online and are not sure about the way to defend their rights?'
Regarding Mr. Chen’s current confusion, an online shopping rights expert from the Xuanwu District Market Supervision Bureau of Nanjing explained that in the circulation field, the responsibility of the manufacturer and the seller is the same. Consumers can choose their own and find more favorable to themselves. Program.
He believes that the quality of the mobile phone, the three guarantees can be returned within 7 days, can be exchanged within 15 days. From the actual situation of rights protection, within 15 days, it is recommended that consumers and sellers defend rights, after more than 15 days, and manufacturers Safeguarding rights is more beneficial.
Lawyer interpretation
Whether consumers are 'confidential' is not a prerequisite for compensation.
According to the relevant regulations, when consumers purchase and use goods, if the product is damaged due to defects in the product, the seller may claim compensation from the seller or the manufacturer. Therefore, Mr. Chen can ask for compensation from the online shop, and can also ask the mobile phone manufacturer for compensation.
Hua Zhen noted that in this case, Xiaomi is also willing to sign a agreement to keep the matter confidential while being willing to pay for the loss of the consumer.
'Xiami company as a manufacturer, in the case of product defects caused by personal, property damage to consumers is based on legal provisions, not based on the agreement of both parties. The liability is not based on the consumer must fulfill confidentiality obligations.
He explained that if it proves that Mr. Chen’s mobile phone damage is caused by a defect in the product, it may threaten the personal life of the unspecified majority, property security, and social public interest. According to the regulations, the operator If the defect is dangerous to the person and the property is dangerous, it shall immediately report to the relevant administrative department and inform the consumer, and take measures such as stopping sales, warning, recall, etc., and may not cover the product quality problem by means of confidentiality. In this case Next, signing the confidentiality clause in the compensation agreement, this practice is obviously in violation of the law, even if it is signed, it is invalid.
