My experience with Gearlaunch is not as a buyer but as a victim of copyright infringement and identity theft (third part I suspect.). My identity was copied on Facebook and then used to sell a product line of t-shirts, mugs, sweaters, hoodies etc using one of my photos of a skier in the USA Paralympic Ski Team and by using my identity as part of their design. The party 'posing' as Luc Percival then went on to spam my Facebook followers and friends giving them the impression that my business Luc Percival Photography was selling merchandise through Gearlaunch. All this has been reported to Facebook. I have also contacted Gearlaunch to ask that they cease and desist immediately, but they have not. The items are still for sale and the infringement is flagrant. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS SITE. My suspicion is that it a scam / totally fraudulent.
I've attached an example of the page upon which this merchandising is being sold.
Tip for consumers:
Avoid at all costs.
Products used:
I did not purchase anything from them. I have had my intellectual property stolen by them or a party associated with them in order to profit from said intellectual property.
