If you are considering making a purchase keep in mind many companies sell replica items which may be difficult to discern from the genuine article. We suggest you examine your purchase to make sure the item you are purchasing is the real thing.

According to the International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition the following may signify a fake product: blurred or torn labels; misspelled or altered product names; unannounced changes in product content color smell or packaging; missing codes 800 consumer numbers or trademarks; or products lacking the usual guarantees. Be skeptical of unrealistic prices. Carefully research any seller or business offering name brand products at extremely low prices. Avoid purchasing look-alike products from street vendors at flea markets home parties or online auction houses. Knock-off products are typically of low quality because product counterfeiters cut corners to save costs. Beware of counterfeit insurers. Their offers boast of extremely low premiums and few coverage limitations. ~~Trust your instincts. If it looks like a counterfeit product do not purchase the item! And if you are a business owner share these tips with your employees purchasing agents and accounting department so that they are aware of the significant personal economic and social consequences of counterfeiting activities. ~ ~The Federal Trade Commission's Mail Order Rule allows the seller 30 days to ship ordered products to the buyer unless otherwise specified at the time of purchase. If the seller cannot ship within the 30 day period they are required to notify the buyer in writing of the delay and give the option of waiting or having their money returned within seven days. Credit card payments must be credited within one billing cycle. Always use a credit card to purchase online. This protects you.
