How do merchants claim for delay in opening a store due to developers?

If the opening of the store is delayed due to the developer's reasons, the steps for the merchant to claim compensation are as follows:

1. Check the contract: carefully check the contract signed with the developer to understand the provisions on the opening date and compensation terms.

2. Negotiation and settlement: communicate and negotiate with the developer, explain the economic loss and goodwill impact caused by the delay in opening the business, and propose compensation requirements. Try to maintain a good communication attitude and strive to reach a mutually satisfactory agreement.

3. Seek legal aid: If negotiation with the developer fails, the merchant can consult a lawyer, understand the legal protection and claim ways, and seek legal aid.

4. Bring legal proceedings: If necessary, businesses can consider bringing legal proceedings to protect their rights and interests. Before filing a lawsuit, the merchant should collect relevant evidence, such as contracts, communication records, and relevant documents that prove that the delay in opening the business has caused losses to the merchant.
