CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY/WRITTEN STATEMENT OF COUNTERFEIT 
(HARD COPY WITH DRY SEAL)

Hard Copy with Dry Seal: Proof You Can Hold

In the digital age, most documents exist electronically. However, there are still situations where a physical copy, or "hard copy," with a dry seal is required for legal purposes.

What is a Dry Seal?

Unlike a wet seal, which uses an inked impression, a dry seal is an embossed imprint on the paper itself. It often includes the organization's name, logo, or some other identifying mark.

Why Use a Hard Copy with Dry Seal?

Here are some situations where you might need a hard copy with a dry seal:

• Legal Proceedings: Courts often prefer original, physical documents. A hard copy with a dry seal can be used as evidence to verify the authenticity of a certificate, transcript, or other official documents.

• Obtaining Refunds: Some companies, especially for high-value transactions, may require a hard copy with a dry seal when requesting a refund. This helps prevent fraudulent claims and ensures a paper trail exists.

• International Transactions: While digital documents are becoming more accepted globally, some countries still rely on physical documents for official transactions. A hard copy with a dry seal can be used to verify authenticity when dealing with foreign entities.

• Record Keeping: While digital backups are important, physical copies can offer peace of mind. A hard copy with a dry seal creates a tangible record that can't be easily altered, especially if digital records are compromised.

NOTARIZED AFFIDAVITS

Notarized affidavits from luxury authenticators can be valuable tools in legal proceedings, refund disputes, and other situations for several reasons:

1. Establishing Authenticity:

• The core function of a luxury authenticator is to verify the genuineness of an item. A notarized affidavit from a reputable authenticator serves as a documented, third-party opinion on the item's authenticity. This holds more weight than your own claim, especially if the other party questions the item's legitimacy.

2. Strengthening Your Case:

• In legal proceedings, like counterfeit item disputes or trademark infringement cases, a notarized affidavit from a qualified authenticator strengthens your case. The affidavit becomes legal evidence that can be presented in court. The notary public verifies the identity of the authenticator and confirms the authenticity of their signature on the affidavit.

3. Backing Up Refund Requests:

• If you purchased a counterfeit luxury item and are seeking a refund from the seller, a notarized affidavit from an authenticator bolsters your claim. It provides concrete evidence that the item is not genuine, making your case for a refund more persuasive.

4. Dispute Resolution:

• During disputes with insurance companies or consignment shops, a notarized affidavit can be helpful. For instance, if you file an insurance claim for a stolen luxury item and the authenticity is questioned, the affidavit can verify its genuineness.

However, it's important to consider some limitations:

• Not a Guarantee: While a notarized affidavit adds weight to your claim, it doesn't guarantee a successful outcome in legal proceedings or disputes. The judge or mediator will ultimately decide based on all presented evidence.

• Quality of Authenticator Matters: The reputation and expertise of the authenticator issuing the affidavit significantly impact its value. Affidavits from highly respected and qualified authenticators carry more weight than those from less established sources.

Overall, notarized affidavits are valuable tools for establishing the authenticity of luxury items in legal proceedings, refund requests, and other situations where verification is crucial.
