6. China Consumers Association: Cinemas require the purchase of 3D glasses at their own expenses as a tyrant clause
According to the official Weibo of the China Consumers Association, for some time, consumers have complained that they will go to the theater to watch 3D movies. The theater does not provide 3D glasses, and consumers are required to purchase 3D glasses sold in the theater. This behavior is that the theater itself separates the service obligations it should bear and passes them on to consumers, increasing the burden on consumers, and violates fairness and integrity. It is a typical "unequal format clause" and is suspected of violating the Consumer Rights Protection Law. (36Kr)
