為保障飼主權益,農業部去年推動犬貓美容服務定型化契約,有部分小型寵物美容業者反映,每月先預收1萬元需在銀行開設信託專戶,或必須加入公會由公會擔保,有困難。農業部今天(11日)預告修正草案,新增第三方支付價金保管、同業互保、金融機構履約保證3方式,最快10月上路。

毛小孩數目超過真小孩,寵物相關產業在國內也非常活絡,其中就包含寵物美容產業,但過去飼主送心愛的毛小孩去美容時,經常會先預付大筆款項,但若遇到業者履約出現問題時,常遇到錢拿不回來等消費糾紛,又或有部分飼主惡意將寵物棄置在美容業者處等,因此農業部推動犬貓美容服務定型化契約保障雙方權益。

契約去年上路後,有部分小型寵物美容業者反映,定型化契約規定預收款超過1萬元且非包月,需提供履約保障,但因營運資金規模低,較難負擔預收款信託手續費與資金周轉壓力,農業部在5月12日邀集產業界代表、消保團體、地方政府、行政院消保處等討論後,最後提出修正草案。

農業部動保司副司長陳中興說,履約保障方式由現行「預收款信託」與「聯合連帶保證協定」2項,擴充至5項,新增項目包含金融機構履約保證、金融機構或電子支付機構價金保管及同業相互連帶保證等3種,將讓業者有更多元化辦理履約保證的管道,透過擴充多元、低門檻的履約保障機制,活絡產業動能。

陳中興說,草案預告期為60天,若預告期間外界都無意見,最快10月上路,在修正生效前,縣市政府針對無法落實履約保障的業者會先用輔導方式,不會開罰。
