I am engaged in the gasifier industry and have seen many cases in which franchisees have been cheated. Although it is not uncommon, it hurts every time I hear such a situation. I feel sorry for such a company.
The advice I can give you is that you should find a lawyer and specifically ask how to get back the agency fee you paid. Is it a legal cooperation clause?
Let me remind you that some details of the agency contract you signed seem to have been accepted and signed by you without knowing its real intention! As far as I know, most of the contracts used by such companies are standard clauses contracts, which means that the contract you signed was drawn up by the company in advance and was not negotiated with you when you signed it. First of all, you should make sure whether you have carefully read the standard terms contract before signing the contract, and whether the company has fulfilled the "duty of care" and "duty of explanation" of the standard terms.
The national contract law clearly stipulates the standard clause contract. You can go to the local law firm for consultation. If there are other exemption clauses in the contract, or there are such clauses that the franchise fee is not refundable, you should ask the lawyer under what circumstances such clauses are invalid. (Article 40 of the Contract Law stipulates that the standard terms are in any of the circumstances stipulated in Articles 52 and 53 of this Law, or if the party providing the standard terms exempts the other party from its responsibilities, aggravates the other party's responsibilities and excludes the other party's main rights, the standard terms are invalid. )
That's all I can say. Good luck. I believe the law is fair, and I will give you justice.
Secondly, to clarify the fact that the gasifier is a good investment project, and the state support is still very strong at present, such as Yangzhou and Suqian, which are all key areas supported by the state. The cheated investors just didn't find the company that really promoted this project, and the company that really promoted this project didn't charge the agency franchise fee.
