The AKIT initiative regarding goods imported as part of parallel imports looks like a golden mean. The buyer will be provided with all the necessary instructions for installing the software, while the goods will not be opened, and account data will not be transferred to third parties, the editorial source believes.
—, since most of the largest japan cell phone number list equipment manufacturers do not officially work in Russia. For this reason, it is impossible to oblige them to install domestic software. If a user needs a Russian application, he will install it himself. This is the solution that AKIT is currently offering, — explained TelecomDaily CEO Denis Kuskov.
The measure allows eliminating the legal conflict that arose due to the introduction of parallel import, noted the head of Content Review Sergey Polovnikov. Applications can be installed either at the production stage (which is excluded with parallel import), or independently by the user (in this case, he must log into the smartphone with personal data). If the seller installs the software, he will have to open the device, and then it can no longer be considered new. In addition, third-party intervention in the smartphone settings contradicts all the principles of digital security, noted Sergey Polovnikov.
— In the conditions of parallel import, it is really impossible to provide pre-installation of software in many cases. Activation of the device in the store and installation of programs before the sale of the device will transfer it to the status of used, about which the seller, by virtue of Article 10 of the Law "On the Protection of Consumer Rights", will be obliged to notify buyers in writing, which, of course, will affect the attractiveness of such equipment and its sales, — the head of the "Public Consumer Initiative" Oleg Pavlov told Izvestia.
In this situation, the most reasonable thing to do would be to supply devices sold with instructions on how to independently install programs from an approved list and to create conditions in stores for installing software at the consumer’s request, the expert believes.
