Article 4Clear Indication of the Content of Performance and Other Matters for Small and Medium-sized Entrusted Business Operators
第四条(中小受託事業者の給付の内容その他の事項の明示等)
If an entrusting business operator concludes a manufacturing consignment, etc. with a small or medium-sized entrusted business operator, the entrusting business operator must immediately clearly indicate to the small or medium-sized entrusted business operator, in writing or by electronic or magnetic means (meaning a means of using an electronic data processing system or any other means of using information and communications technology that is specified by Japan Fair Trade Commission Rules; the same applies below in this Article), the details of the performance, the amount of the payment of manufacturing consignment, etc., the date of payment, the method of payment, and other matters pursuant to the provisions of Japan Fair Trade Commission Rules; provided, however, that if there are justifiable grounds for the details of any of these matters not being specified, the clear indication is not required, and in this case, the entrusting business operator must clearly indicate the matters to the small or medium-sized entrusted business operator in writing or by electronic or magnetic means immediately after the details of the matters have been specified.
委託事業者は、中小受託事業者に対し製造委託等をした場合は、直ちに、公正取引委員会規則で定めるところにより、中小受託事業者の給付の内容、製造委託等代金の額、支払期日及び支払方法その他の事項を、書面又は電磁的方法(電子情報処理組織を使用する方法その他の情報通信の技術を利用する方法であつて公正取引委員会規則で定めるものをいう。以下この条において同じ。)により中小受託事業者に対し明示しなければならない。ただし、これらの事項のうちその内容が定められないことにつき正当な理由があるものについては、その明示を要しないものとし、この場合には、委託事業者は、当該事項の内容が定められた後直ちに、当該事項を書面又は電磁的方法により中小受託事業者に対し明示しなければならない。
If the entrusting business operator has clearly indicated the matters prescribed in the preceding paragraph by electronic or magnetic means pursuant to the provisions of that paragraph, and is requested by the small and medium-sized entrusted business operator to issue a document stating the matters, the entrusting business operator must issue the document without delay, pursuant to the provisions of Japan Fair Trade Commission Rules; provided, however, that this does not apply if it is specified by Japan Fair Trade Commission Rules as a case that does not hinder the protection of a small and medium-sized entrusted business operator.
