Article 5Prohibition of Misleading Representations

第五条(不当な表示の禁止)

A business operator may not make the representations that fall under any of the following items for the transaction of goods or services the business operator supplies:

事業者は、自己の供給する商品又は役務の取引について、次の各号のいずれかに該当する表示をしてはならない。

a representation indicating that the quality, standard, or other content of the goods or services is significantly superior to that of the actual quality, standard, or content, or that contrary to the facts, the quality, standard, or other content is significantly superior to those of other business operators supplying the same type of or similar goods or services as those supplied by that business operator, to general customers, and is likely to unfairly induce customers and hinder the voluntary and rational choice-making by general consumers;

商品又は役務の品質、規格その他の内容について、一般消費者に対し、実際のものよりも著しく優良であると示し、又は事実に相違して当該事業者と同種若しくは類似の商品若しくは役務を供給している他の事業者に係るものよりも著しく優良であると示す表示であつて、不当に顧客を誘引し、一般消費者による自主的かつ合理的な選択を阻害するおそれがあると認められるもの

a representation that causes misunderstanding by general consumers that the prices of goods or services or other trade conditions are significantly more advantageous than the actual prices or other trade conditions, or those of other business operators supplying the same of or similar goods or services as those supplied by the relevant business operator, which are found likely to unfairly induce customers and hinder the voluntary and rational choice-making by general consumers; or-

商品又は役務の価格その他の取引条件について、実際のもの又は当該事業者と同種若しくは類似の商品若しくは役務を供給している他の事業者に係るものよりも取引の相手方に著しく有利であると一般消費者に誤認される表示であつて、不当に顧客を誘引し、一般消費者による自主的かつ合理的な選択を阻害するおそれがあると認められるもの

beyond what is stated in the preceding two items, a representation for which matters relating to transactions of goods or services is likely to be misunderstood by general consumers, and is designated by the Prime Minister in finding that the representation is likely to unfairly induce customers and hinder voluntary and rational choice-making by general consumers.

前二号に掲げるもののほか、商品又は役務の取引に関する事項について一般消費者に誤認されるおそれがある表示であつて、不当に顧客を誘引し、一般消費者による自主的かつ合理的な選択を阻害するおそれがあると認めて内閣総理大臣が指定するもの
