Unfair competition is prohibited. You cannot tell customers or broadcast information to the masses that a competitor's product is of poor quality, unsafe, or that its service is bad.

You should rely on facts: refer to a court case where uruguay telegram database it is stated that the seller did not return the money for cracked double-glazed windows.

How not to do it. The SPM company serviced the Strelets-Monitoring fire alarms in schools and hospitals. SPM managers sent letters to those who worked with other contractors, stating that other service companies do not work according to technical regulations and do not have a centralized monitoring station for the alarm. Therefore, a contract must be concluded with SPM, and not competitors, otherwise a fine will come from the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The letters were drawn up as notifications from government agencies. Schools and hospitals "fell for" the deception and changed contractors, because they were afraid of fines.

One of the contractors filed a complaint with the FAS. It turned out that Strelets-Monitoring did not need a remote control, only a license from the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The competitor had one. The letters from the company were a lie, so the FAS withdrew them .

Competitors themselves file complaints about unfair competition, and antimonopoly authorities issue fines. Individual entrepreneurs pay from 12,000 to 20,000 rubles, and legal entities - from 100,000 to 500,000 rubles.
