Government commitment to law enforcement
The United States Government has been an active participant in protecting
the rights of copyright owners. Federal Judges have shown their
intolerance of copyright violators by handing down increasingly
large damage awards against infringers. The Chambers of Commerce
for various high-risk nations are engaged with the United States
government in restricting and limiting the widespread activities
of piracy which is evident in developing countries and other regions
committed to the international agreements and treaties.
Your responsibilities as a user
Your first responsibility as an audio user is to purchase original
articles for your use. If you purchase an illegal copy or pirated
product for business or personal use, you will be committing an
offence which is prosecutable in the Court of Law.
When purchasing a Megavox AutoHiFi Technology product, make sure
you buy legitimate products. If you have a good reason to suspect
that a company, retailer, reseller, dealer or individual is offering,
advertising or selling you a counterfeit Megavox AutoHiFi Technology
product, please report their location with as much detail as possible
to your local customs authorities and to us. Always keep the original
Invoice and counterfeit good with its packaging which came from
the reseller. They can be used as evidence to prosecute the perpetrators
and get your full money refund. Many counterfeit packaged products
are designed to look similar to the original Megavox AutoHiFi Technology
manufacturer's products but are made with inferior materials that
fail to attain the original Megavox AutoHiFi Technology manufacturer's
specifications and performance criteria. Consequently, purchasers
and users of counterfeit or pirated products face unnecessary risks:
a.. A fake product that is non-durable, "fragile" to demanding
conditions , or otherwise defective;
b.. Megavox AutoHiFi Technology is always making sure that every
of our product that reaches the market by legal distribution is
within the most affordable reach to customers, while retaining its
highest value. Counterfeit products however, will normally be priced
exceptionally low in order to attract your purchase. The only possible
way they can achieve this means is to compromise on the use of materials,
workmanship and/or assembly of their goods indefinitely.
c.. Lack of technical product support available to counterfeit users;
and
d..
In addition, if you purchase a product that is counterfeit or copied,
you not only deny the Megavox AutoHiFi Technology scientists, acoustic
engineers and developers - some working a lifetime with us - their
rightful revenue, but also harm the industry as a whole by discouraging
and limiting our capacity to elevate the value of Megavox AutoHiFi
Technology products to higher levels while maintaining the price
factor low. All Megavox AutoHiFi Technology product developers spend
literally years researching and developing products for the benefit
of the audio loving community worldwide, with a passion to fulfill
the gap between the highly expensive 'out of reach' price-tag and
the medium-income audio-lover's financial affordability. A portion
of every dollar spent in purchasing an original product is funneled
back into research and development so that a better and more advanced
good may be produced for you and your future generation continuously
, which is sensibly priced and affordable to the majority community.
When you purchase counterfeit merchandize, your money only goes
directly back into the pockets of the selfish profit-oriented pirates
without any other constructive value.
