Intellectual Property
The trademarks Le Luth Doré® Paris and LLD®, as well as all works, models, and content presented on this site or offered by authorized resellers, are the exclusive property of Le Luth Doré®. Any unauthorized reproduction, imitation, or distribution constitutes a violation of our intellectual property rights.
Beware of Counterfeits
Le Luth Doré®, like many recognized brands, faces counterfeiting. These illegal copies, often offered at low prices, do not meet our quality standards or manufacturing requirements and may pose risks to users.
What is a Counterfeit?
A counterfeit is the reproduction or imitation of a product or brand without authorization, intended to deceive the consumer. Under French law, counterfeiting is a criminal offense punishable by up to three years in prison and a fine of €300,000, and up to five years and €500,000 in cases of organized crime.
Poor Quality and Risks for Customers
Counterfeit products are always of inferior quality. Some buyers, misled by attractive prices, think they are making a good deal. However, these copies are often poorly made, ineffective, sometimes dangerous, and come with no warranty or traceability.
Where to Buy Safely?
We recommend purchasing exclusively from our official website www.leluthdore.com or from authorized Le Luth Doré® resellers. If an offer seems too good to be true, it is often a sign of a counterfeit. Be especially cautious with lutes and cases sold at drastically reduced prices on major online marketplaces.
Legal Consequences for the Buyer
Purchasing a counterfeit product may lead to seizure and destruction by customs, fines up to three times its value, as well as criminal penalties of up to three years imprisonment and a €300,000 fine. Moreover, these products do not comply with European safety standards and may contain toxic or prohibited substances.
Need to Verify a Reseller?
Le Luth Doré® cannot guarantee the authenticity of a product purchased from an unauthorized reseller. Before making a purchase, please do not hesitate to contact us at contact@leluthdore.com.
