师事务所,本律师函署名律师具有完全的合法执业资格。本律师依法取得厦门恒茂进出口有限公司(以下称“委托人”)的授权,向贵司致函如下:
贵司与委托人在20xx年成立书刊发行合同,由委托人发行贵司《××时尚》、《××君子》等期刊发行物,委托人收取刊物支付相应款项后却得知上述刊物系冒用某著名刊物刊名出版。根据《出版管理条例》第三十条之规定:“任何单位和个人不得伪造、假冒出版单位名称或者报纸、期刊名称出版出版物”,贵司交付委托人的《佳人时尚》等刊物为非法出版物,此事实,已为上海市新闻出版局认定。
有鉴于此,本律师代表委托人致函贵司:
第一、鉴于《××时尚》为非法出版物的事实,根据《合同法》第52条之规定“有下列情形之一的,合同无效:(一)一方以欺诈、胁迫的手段订立合同,损害国家利益;(二)恶意串通,损害国家、集体或者第三人利益;(三)以合法形式掩盖非法目的;(四)损害社会公共利益;
(五)违反法律、行政法规的强制性规定。”故贵司与委托人的书刊发行合同应为无效合同。
第二、根据《合同法》第58条之规定“合同无效或者被撤销后,因该合同取得的财产,应当予以返还;不能返还或者没有必要返还的,应当折价补偿。有过错的一方应当赔偿对方因此所受到的损失,双方都有过错的,应当各自承担相应的责任”,贵司应将所收的刊物费用全部退还委托人。
第三、除上述刊物费用外,由于贵司的行为,尚给委托人造成了其他的经济损失,根据《合同法》第58条之规定,应由贵司承担,但在双方调解阶段,委托人可以考虑放弃。
考虑到双方的合作关系,也便于双方进一步的合作,在本律师调解阶段,委托人只要求贵司退还部分款项计人民币128593.52元即可。请贵司在七日内对本函所涉内容做出书面回复与说明,否则委托人将采取相应的法律手段就贵司的违法行为追究贵司的法律责任,并就委托人可能因此所遭受的经济损失向贵司进行追索。
专此函告,望贵司慎思并妥善对待。
