Fake cycling kit / accessories being sold in the Classifieds

[Matt]

Hi all,

 

There was a fair bit of discussion last week about fakes and unlicensed replicas being sold in the Classifieds. I posted an a note on The Hub's official stance in this thread.

 

We are aware that there are still some fake items being passed off as "replicas".

 

To re-iterate:

 

Selling of illegal goods of any nature, including fake clothing and accessories, is NOT allowed on The Hub.

Please note the distinction between "fake" and "replica":

 

- A replica is a licensed, legal product and most often produced by the same manufacturer of the original team / brand kit

- A fake is an unlicensed copy and is ILLEGAL

 

Watch out for ambiguous adverts which may present a fake as a "replica". The price is usually a good indicator.

 

If you come across any adverts selling or suspected of selling fake items please hit the report button on the right hand side and we will investigate.

 

Any such ads will be deleted, the users will be banned and reported to the official manufacturers / license holders.

Thanks and regards,
