The company strives to offer only the highest quality products in the automotive industry. Painless does this through continuous product innovation and quality process improvement. To ensure that consumers are purchasing only genuine Painless products, and to ensure the proper installation and function of our products, we diligently monitor and control the design, manufacturing, distribution and advertising of our products.

Certain automotive electrical products manufactured by Painless Performance incorporate technology covered by various intellectual property rights.  If product is sold by anyone other than an authorized dealer, the product may be counterfeit, the installation may be substandard, or the product is being sold in violation of Painless's intellectual property rights. Below are explanations of some of the most common, but not all, of the reasons an auction has been ended.

Painless enjoys a strong reputation for product quality and workmanship. Because of this, a number of counterfeit products have been introduced into the market. Products sold on eBay cannot be guaranteed to be authentic. Many auctions are removed because they may be counterfeit.

Painless is the owner of certain copyrights to all of the technical data, photos, graphics, software, product literature, catalogues, product specifications, installation guides, user guides, promotional material and other types of information used in association with its products and/or posted on its websites. These items may not be used by anyone without express written permission from Painless. Any copying, reproduction or use of these materials without permission is a violation of federal law.

Painless is the exclusive owner of numerous valuable trademark rights that are used in association with a wide variety of products that Painless sells throughout the world. Painless has made a significant investment developing the association of these marks with our products. Consumers recognize the value and quality of our products based on the mark associated with the product. Because product sold on eBay is not sold by an authorized licensed dealer, it is not certain that those products are not counterfeit. Any unlicensed use of any of these marks is a violation of our exclusive rights and may cause confusion among consumers as to the source of the goods and may result in liability for infringement.

Painless is the owner of a large number of patents for technology that is incorporated into its products. These products are only sold through authorized dealers. The sale of our products by anyone other than authorized dealers, in strict compliance with the terms of their license, constitutes patent infringement and may subject the infringer to substantial liability.

The sale of any product sold by anyone other than an authorized licensed dealer voids the manufacturer's warranty. eBay sellers cannot make invalid claims concerning any Painless product warranty.

We hope we have answered any questions you have about why your auction was ended. Your auction was most likely ended because of violation of any one of the above explanations. Painless cannot provide legal advice to you regarding your present or future auctions.
