authorized dealer
Approved product retailer
An authorized dealer is a retailer or distributor officially approved by a manufacturer to sell its products.
The authorization typically comes with benefits—access to genuine merchandise, warranty support, training—and obligations like pricing guidelines or service standards.
Buying from an authorized dealer offers assurance of authenticity: Make sure you purchase from an authorized dealer to protect your warranty.
Unauthorized sellers may offer lower prices but without manufacturer backing.
