≪Requests from HARVES≫ⅰ）．We would appreciate it if you could accept the changes mentioned above by receiving this letter. If you needadditional documents regarding the changes, kindly contact us.
ⅱ）．We plan to change the design of the seal about once a month to eradicate imitations. We will start uploading seals fromthe next version (3rd ver. Type C <black>) on our website (www.harves.co.jp). Kindly visit our website regularly.
ⅲ）．Please purchase HARVES products via official distribution channels. Imitations tend to be delivered when
distribution channels were changed to local ones in China.
Also there are many companies that sell our products on the internet but those might be imitations.
Please pay extreme attention when you purchase our goods from them.
ⅳ）．Please make holes in cans or squish the cans prior to disposing of them to avoid reuse.
If the cans cannot be reused, it would help to reduce imitations.
We would appreciate your kind understandings and cooperation.
ⅴ）．Please contact us when you have any doubts about the products you have purchased.
We would appreciate it if you send pictures of the label, cap, welding parts of the can's body, can's bottom and also
provide us the information of your distribution channel.
