Rane Corporation ("Rane") is the exclusive manufacturer for Rane® and Serato™ Scratch LIVE brands of professional audio equipment as well as the exclusive worldwide distributor for Serato Scratch LIVE products. The distribution of Rane and Serato Scratch LIVE products occurs under country-specific agreements, and depending on the products in question, may involve products developed specifically for specific countries or regions. As a result, warranty coverage is honored only on a country-specific basis, linked to the country in which the product was first intended to be sold. For example, products that are intended for retail sale in Canada must be returned to Canadian authorized service centers for warranty repair -- Rane does not honor any non-US originating warranties. Therefore, purchasers of Rane and Serato Scratch LIVE products through third party auction sites like eBay should be aware of the country of origin of any Rane and Serato Scratch LIVE product they purchase. Within the United States, Rane distributes Serato Scratch LIVE and other professional audio equipment only through networks of authorized retailers. The Rane and Serato Scratch LIVE name and trademarks are synonymous with top quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction. Each authorized retailer must meet Rane's quality requirements to become, and to remain, authorized. Rane strictly controls the distribution of Rane and Serato Scratch LIVE brand products, and thus the right to use the Rane or Serato name, or Rane's and Serato Scratch LIVE's trademarks, including their distinctive logos, in connection with the sale of Rane and Serato Scratch LIVE products is likewise restricted. Only authorized dealers may sell new Rane and Serato Scratch LIVE products via on-line third party auction sites, such as eBay™. Therefore it is false and misleading for an auction seller to claim to have "New" or "Brand New" or "New In The Box" ("NIB") Rane and Serato Scratch LIVE products for sale because it suggests that the seller is authorized by Rane to sell the product, and it suggests that the purchaser will receive the full array of Rane support that customers can expect from an authorized dealer. For example, it is false and misleading to claim that the Rane factory warranty will apply to products purchased through eBay unless purchased from an authorized dealer. The foregoing claims use the Rane and Serato Scratch LIVE trademarks in a manner calculated to deceive consumers, and are strictly prohibited. In addition, Rane is the owner of the copyrights in all pictures, text and graphics on the Rane website. Rane is aware that unauthorized sellers often promote the sale of Rane products by unlawfully copying some or all of these protected materials. Again, such copying is strictly prohibited by federal law, and will not be tolerated by Rane.
