VI. Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: If the software delivered is not working properly after installation, can I get a refund? Will such requests ultimately be supported?

Whether support can be obtained depends on whether the evidence is sufficient, whether the legal relationship is clear, and whether the choice of procedure is appropriate. Our firm does not guarantee victory. If there is a clear legal basis and a complete chain of evidence, the court or arbitration institution will usually support reasonable claims according to the law; otherwise, the risk will be higher. It is recommended to first sort out the facts and materials regarding whether the money can be refunded if the software has not been properly adjusted after delivery, and evaluate the feasibility in accordance with Articles 770, 787, and 878 of the Civil Code. If necessary, consult a professional lawyer.

Q2: If the software delivered has been difficult to adjust after installation, can I get a refund? What evidence do I need to prepare for this?

The core evidence should be organized around the basis of rights and the focus of the dispute, including proof of the subject's identity and relationship, documents of rights and obligations, communication process and performance records, proof of losses or amounts, as well as materials that can prove the statute of limitations and jurisdiction. The more complete the evidence is, the more it can support the claim. The specific list can be compiled based on the nature of the case, referring to Articles 770, 787, and 878 of the Civil Code to avoid omitting key documentary evidence or electronic evidence.

Q3: If the software delivered by the lawyer still can't be properly adjusted after being put into use, can I get a refund? And what's the approximate cost involved?

The litigation fees are calculated according to the amount of the subject matter and accumulated in stages in accordance with the "Measures for the Payment of Litigation Costs". They are usually borne by the losing party. As for attorney's fees, they are determined based on the complexity of the case, the amount of the subject matter, and the workload, and are charged on a per-case basis, a percentage of the subject matter, or an hourly rate. The fees are negotiated between the law firm and the client and specified in the contract. There is no unified government pricing for these fees, and unauthorized contingency fees are prohibited in related cases. It is recommended to clarify the charging method and upper limit before entrusting the case, and to evaluate the cost-benefit ratio.

Q4: Can I get a refund if the software delivered after processing is still not working properly? And how long does it usually take to resolve the issue?

The timeframe depends on the procedure and the circumstances of the case: for civil litigation, the first-instance ordinary procedure generally concludes within six months, and the summary procedure within three months; for second-instance litigation involving appeals, it generally concludes within three months; and for criminal and administrative procedures, there are statutory time limits for each. If appraisal, public announcement of service, or enforcement are required, the timeframe will be extended accordingly. Overall, it often takes several months from case filing to collecting the payment, so it is recommended to prepare for the timeframe in advance and grasp the deadlines.

Q5: If the software delivered to me can't be properly adjusted after installation, can I get a refund? What should I do first in this case?

It is recommended to follow four steps: First, calmly sort out the facts and fix the existing evidence; Second, clarify the legal relationship and the focus of the dispute, and check the relevant laws and time limits; Third, attempt to negotiate with the other party or apply for mediation; Fourth, if no agreement is reached and the evidence is sufficient, hire a lawyer to initiate litigation or arbitration within the statutory time limit to avoid missing the window of relief. Keep all communication records throughout the process.
