In the future, if the wedding is inevitably canceled due to the spread of a first-class infectious disease like Corona 19, the wedding hall contract will be canceled without penalty.

As such, the government has recently set a new standard for dispute resolution in the wedding industry, where disputes have been frequent between consumers and businesses.

As social distancing strengthened due to Corona 19’s reproliferation in the metropolitan area last month, prospective newlyweds who are about to get married were in great confusion.

This is because the planned ceremonies were not held due to an order prohibiting gatherings of 50 or more people.

However, due to the large penalty, we were unable to change the content of the existing contract, so we had to suffer losses by crying and eating mustard.

To reduce this confusion, the government revised the standards and standard terms and conditions for the resolution of consumer disputes in the wedding industry.

The biggest change is the newly established dispute resolution standards that apply when a first-class infectious disease like Corona 19 occurs.

First, if the bridal facility is closed or the operation is suspended, or the area is declared a special disaster area, the contract can be changed or the advance can be returned without penalty.

Additionally, if the ceremony is canceled by group restraining order corresponding to the second stage of social distancing or the issuance of a serious infectious disease crisis alert, the penalty will be reduced by 40% and 20%, respectively, along with the return of the advance.

Furthermore, it has been stipulated that the contract can be canceled at any time within 15 days after the conclusion of the marriage contract, and even if a penalty is incurred, only the remaining amount is charged after subtracting the existing advance.

Instead, in the future, we have adjusted the timing of compensation so that contract cancellation must be notified at least five months before the scheduled wedding date so that the advance can be returned.

The FTC hoped to reduce consumer harm and resolve disputes with wedding services through the newly established recommendations.

[전성복 / 공정거래위원회 소비자 정책과장 : (권고 기준이) 법적 강제력은 없지만, 현재 진행되고 있는 분쟁이라든지 향후 감염병으로 발생할 수 있는 분쟁의 경우에 합의나 권고의 기준으로 삼을 수 있을 것 같습니다.]

Accordingly, we plan to notify the wedding industry of the new standard terms and conditions to encourage active use.
