【Important】Please be careful of illegal counterfeit products and fraudulent shopping sites

Thank you for your continued patronage.

Recently, we have confirmed the existence of counterfeit products that use our website photos and trademarks without permission, as well as fraudulent sites that use our company profile, including our location.

Please be aware that, in addition to the risk of not receiving the product after payment, there is also a possibility that your personal information, such as your credit card details, may be obtained illegally.

In addition, imitation products are different from our genuine products, and do not provide the specifications, performance, quality or safety that we provide to our customers through our products.

We are very concerned that customers who purchase counterfeit products or from fraudulent websites, which use our website photos, trademarks, company name, address, and other company information without permission, may suffer some kind of damage.

We will take legal action against counterfeiters and fraud sites that use our website photos and trademarks without permission, including cooperating with law enforcement agencies.
We would also like to ask our customers to take care not to use such malicious shopping sites by mistake, and to check the following information: “Purchasing Genuine Products”, “Differences between Counterfeit Products and Genuine Products”, “Fraudulent Sites Currently Identified”, and “Characteristics of Fraudulent Sites”.

Please note that our company cannot be held responsible for any losses or damages incurred by customers as a result of using counterfeit products on these shopping sites or fraudulent sites.

「The Difference Between Counterfeit Products and Genuine Products」

【Please check the product name】

There is a possibility that malicious counterfeiters are using and processing the photos and trademarks on our website without permission and selling them under different product names.
Please refer to the ‘product tag’ and ‘attached trademark’ to confirm the products we sell.

【Please check the product tag】

Our genuine products are always tagged with “balans®” (trademark registration number: 5578441).
There is a possibility that the tag is different from the one in the product photo, or that there is no tag attached.
