Authorized Distributor Policy

Version Update: June 2025
To qualify for—and remain—CTK Authorized Distributor status, your business must comply with all elements of this policy at all times:
- Maintain Current Business Information. Keep accurate, up-to-date customer information and, upon request, promptly disclose any CTK-related information during the term of your distributor relationship.
- CTK’s Trademarks & Brand Policy. Comply with CTK’s Trademark & Brand Policy and monitor compliance among CTK Authorized Resellers you service. Registering business names, domains, or social-media handles containing CTK trademarks is prohibited. Use only CTK-approved marketing assets (see full Trademark & Brand Policy).
- Sell to Stocking Dealers Only. Do not sell to wholesalers, freight forwarders, or drop-shippers. Sell only to CTK Authorized Resellers and Authorized E-Commerce Resellers (see CTK Authorized Reseller Requirements).
- Purchase Directly From CTK. Buy CTK products only from CTK—not from any other source unless explicitly endorsed by CTK.
- Sell Products in Original Packaging. Do not alter CTK packaging. Repackaging or rebranding CTK products is strictly prohibited.
- No Bundling Without Permission. Re-SKUing or bundling CTK products requires prior written permission from CTK.
- Prevent Customer Confusion. Do not market non-CTK items alongside CTK products in a way that suggests CTK makes, endorses, or is associated with those items.
- Approved Wholesale-Only Websites. Accept orders only through login-secured, e-commerce pages on CTK-approved websites you own and operate. Selling or shipping to consumers via third-party marketplaces (eBay, Amazon, Alibaba, etc.), drop-ship accounts, classified sites, or forum direct messages is prohibited.
- Assigned Geographic Territory. Ship customer orders only to addresses within your assigned territory (North America).
- Assigned Market Segment. Ship orders only within your designated market segment. Selling or shipping to third-party e-commerce customers is not allowed.
- Ensure PCI Compliance. Maintain PCI compliance for all commerce-enabled websites you operate.
- Comply With MAP Policy. Adhere at all times to CTK’s Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy. The MAP Policy governs advertising conduct only; you remain free to set resale prices.
- Additional E-Commerce Obligations. Ensure industry-standard security and fraud-prevention measures (two-factor authentication, territory restrictions, customer-fraud resolution) for all Authorized E-Commerce sites.
- Obey the Law & Serve Customers. Ensure your e-commerce customers also maintain industry-standard security, fraud protection, and customer-service practices.
Failure to comply with any part of this Authorized Distributor Policy may result in suspension or termination of your account.
