Reasons to Not Buy a Counterfeit Product

When you are buying a real Ergify product you are not only buying an item assembled by production craftspeople who have rigorously trained at building product with an established quality control program; you are getting a unique creation designed by designers from around the world. Purchasing a counterfeit supports:

Illegal profiting of a counterfeiter for the product they sold you.
Extra costs to you for a product that is likely to fall apart or stop working. The counterfeit product is not likely to source the same durable materials & utilize the same rigorous quality control standards that the real products are held to in their builds.
Counterfeiters can be difficult to locate and you may not have any means to issue a product liability claim with them.
Durable, long-lasting and safe materials are expensive. Counterfeiters are likely to source low quality and potentially hazardous materials to use in building their counterfeit product.
