What is "Gray Market"?
Generally, a manufacturer works with a single International Distributor who can sell, support and honor warranty claims for OMS products in a given country. The International Distributor usually has local dealers who resell the imported products; this is called a "distribution channel". Gray Market refers to merchandise that is either imported or sold by methods other than these normal channels or OMS products purchased and imported by individuals. For example if you lived in the United Kingdom, and purchased an OMS product from Singapore or any other country for that matter the OMS product(s) would be considered to be gray market goods. For local safety regulations and certifications (FCC, CE, UL, etc.) and government requirements a manufacturer or the distributor provides special packaging (manuals in the appropriate language, power cables designed for the local receptacle, etc.) and product engineering designed to meet local codes. OMS also has service and support agreements with the authorized International Distributor. Gray Market items are not designed to be sold in a particular country and while supported by the authorized International Distributor will be done so at their sole discretion and at a fee. Because these items may not designed for a particular market they may not function properly, or the authorized International Distributor may not be equipped to provide service, support or software.
With the opening of international borders and the use of the Internet to sell goods, Gray Market equipment has become extremely common in the SCUBA consumer marketplace. Many different types of equipment are offered for sale internationally without the proper documentation and consumers do not always know what they are purchasing. Because the "out of country" resellers' cost may be less they may be able to sell Gray Market items for less. Unfortunately this price savings is only on the initial purchase; because service and support is more difficult to obtain it may end up costing the consumer more in the long run.

How do I know if my OMS product is "Grey Market"?
If the deal was just too good to be true, it probably was. One of the first indicators that a piece of OMS merchandise might be Gray Market is if the price is considerably less than most other resellers in your country and the product was purchased outside of the country that you reside in.

What does owning a "Gray Market" OMS product mean to you?
OMS authorized International distributors are not obligated to provide any technical (technical support is with the dealer that you purchased the product from) or warranty support on Gray Market items. OMS gray market products need to be returned to the dealer in the country in which the goods were purchased or you need to discuss warranty or other repairs with the distributor in your country. These repairs will be at charge. While OMS USA will perform warranty repairs on gray goods it is the responsibility of the party possessing the goods to pay all freight charges, insurance, duties, taxes etc. to and from OMS and to provide proof of purchase.
