Making, selling, using and/or installing Dam Buster fakes - whether you know about it or not, exposes everyone involved to the potential for substantial legal action against them, which almost certainly won't be covered by any standard business insurance and can also easily leave owners and directors of companies personally liable. 

Apart from this, Regulators, Building Surveyors, Inspectors and Forensic Plumbing experts will all defect fakes because they don't meet the mandatory conformance requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC).  Fakes also come with no supporting technical documentation, plus you also can't use any of our copyrighted Dam Buster technical information or other Intellectual Property to support a fake product. 

If you are a manufacturer and someone approaches you asking to copy our products, please get in touch with us immediately, because our simple licencing arrangement (see more information on this page) can enable you to manufacture them yourself very easily and legally.  

If you are a buyer such as a plumber or builder, make sure you avoid being left holding the baby with a fake product and having to redo the work at your own substantial cost and also being made to answer to a regulator such as the VBA. 

You can easily avoid any problems by ensuring you are buying the real deal from one of our authorised suppliers.  All genuine Dam Buster products can also be traced and carry a range of security features, so if you are ever in doubt, please Contact Us Immediately.

If you've already purchased fakes, you should return them, demand your money back and never buy from that business again.  

HOW YOU CAN AVOID BEING RIPPED OFF

Just ask to see the MANUFACTURER's National Construction Code (NCC) documentary EVIDENCE OF SUITABILITY.  This should be a significant document, explaining and proving beyond doubt how that makers product has been tested and fully complies with all  NCC requirements.  For fake copies of Dam Buster products, it simply won't exist and your buying decision should end right there.  Dam Buster's Evidence of Suitability can of course be downloaded any time from the Technical Downloads Page.

If someone also tries to hand (or even worse, sell) you a Performance Solution from some supposed expert instead, claiming this will somehow solve the problem another way, that's also not acceptable as Evidence of Suitability under the NCC because (for pretty obvious reasons) all fake copies of building products are prohibited nation wide.  See https://ncc.abcb.gov.au/ncbp for more information.  The fact also is that no Performance Solution, no matter who its from, can ever provide authority for a breach of someone's Intellectual Property either. 

Anybody who tries to con you with any of this is trying to rip you off at every level and certainly does not care about you, your licence or your reputation.  They also obviously don't care about Dam Buster and all the time, money and hard work we have put into developing the products either.  These people do not deserve your business and should be shunned by all reputable purchasers. 

Reports of any potential infringements of our Intellectual Property are encouraged, will be immediately acted upon by our capable team, and may also attract a financial reward if the information is confirmed by independent investigation.  

If you suspect the roof drainage products you have been offered are not genuine Dam Buster products but look like them, please contact us immediately - confidentiality is assured. All genuine Dam Buster products are traceable and carry a range of hidden security features.  We can also easily confirm for you whether or not any product or seller is genuine or not.
