Child's online purchase arouses dispute Guangzhou's industrial and commercial administration bureau and the consumer council have received more complaints about children's Internet purchases, the Guangzhou Daily reported Thursday.
Liu went to visit his parents with his wife, leaving his son home alone with a part-time baby-sitter. Liu said he enjoyed the convenience of online shopping and often had purchases from different Web sites. Sometimes, his son was standing next to Liu, watching the whole process of online shopping, the report quoted Liu as saying. He said he had no idea about his son's purchase until the supplier had delivered the machine, costing more than 8,300 yuan (US$1,000), to his apartment. Liu asked the supplier to cancel the purchase, which was made by a child who bore no civil liability. However, Liu's request was rejected by the supplier, who said the item was purchased under Liu's name and he should pay for the item. Officials at the Guangzhou Consumer Council said purchase contracts agreed between retailers and children were invalid on legal basis. However, children's guardians were responsible for compensation of the loss
caused to retailers, officials said.
