NetClass China argued that the plaintiff’s claim was baseless because the plaintiff only delivered defective online teaching products on December 13, 2017 and failed to deliver software development services.

The plaintiff appealed the case to Shenzhen Intermediate People’s Court, which upheld the final judgment from the Shenzhen Nanshan District People’s Court and dismissed all plaintiff’s claims in favor of NetClass.
