OREANDA-NEWS The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) has withdrawn claims from Wildberries related to the imposition of unfavorable contract terms for sellers. On Tuesday, the regulator announced that the company had complied with the warning that the Federal Antimonopoly Service issued to Wildberries in April 2024.

"According to the agency, the execution of the warning will ensure effective market development, improve the quality of services provided to customers and contribute to the formation of reasonable and transparent conditions for sellers," the regulator said in a statement.

In the spring, the FAS reported that in 2022-2023 it received a large number of appeals indicating signs of violation of antimonopoly legislation by Wildberries LLC. Based on these appeals, the regulator began to study the company's practices and eventually revealed that the offer for the sale of goods on the Wildberries website contains conditions that have signs of imposing unfavorable contract terms on sellers. In particular, it was about too frequent changes in the company's tariffs for logistics and storage services, the establishment of restrictions on the placement of sellers' contact information, and the collection of fines from sellers for unauthorized access to their personal accounts.

As a result, the FAS issued a warning to Wildberries demanding that changes be made to the offer and at the same time not worsen the conditions for the counterparties of the trading platform.
