What is the resale policy for YESDINO products?
If you’re considering reselling YESDINO products, whether as a small business, a third-party retailer, or an individual seller, understanding the company’s resale policy is critical to avoid legal issues and maintain a positive relationship with the brand. YESDINO has established clear guidelines to protect its brand integrity, customer experience, and intellectual property. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you need to know.
**Authorization Requirements**
First and foremost, YESDINO requires all resellers to obtain formal authorization before listing or selling their products. This applies to both physical stores and online platforms like Amazon, eBay, or independent e-commerce sites. Unauthorized resellers risk legal action, including cease-and-desist notices, and may have their inventory seized. To apply for authorization, visit YESDINO and submit a request through the "Become a Reseller" portal. The approval process typically takes 7–10 business days and involves verification of your business license, tax ID, and sales history (if applicable).
**Product Sourcing Guidelines**
YESDINO strictly prohibits resellers from sourcing products through unauthorized distributors or secondary markets. All inventory must be purchased directly from YESDINO or its approved wholesale partners. Resellers caught selling counterfeit goods, refurbished items marketed as new, or products obtained via unauthorized channels will lose their reseller status permanently. Additionally, YESDINO monitors online marketplaces for price gouging and counterfeit activity, so maintaining transparent sourcing practices is non-negotiable.
**Packaging and Branding Rules**
When reselling YESDINO products, you’re required to preserve the original packaging, including labels, safety certifications, and user manuals. Altering or removing YESDINO branding—such as covering logos with stickers or repackaging items in generic boxes—is a violation of the resale agreement. However, adding your own packaging *around* the original box (e.g., custom gift wrapping or promotional inserts) is permitted as long as YESDINO’s branding remains fully visible.
**Pricing and Promotions**
While YESDINO doesn’t enforce minimum advertised pricing (MAP), resellers must avoid misleading discounts or false claims about product scarcity (e.g., "limited stock" tactics without justification). Any promotional campaigns involving YESDINO products require pre-approval from the company’s partnerships team. For example, if you plan to run a "Buy One, Get One 50% Off" deal, you’ll need to share the campaign details, including duration and marketing channels, at least 14 days in advance.
**Warranty and Customer Support**
Products sold by authorized resellers retain YESDINO’s standard warranty, but there’s a catch: the warranty is only valid if the buyer receives a proof of purchase *from the reseller*. This means you’re responsible for providing customers with an invoice or receipt that includes your business name, contact information, and purchase date. YESDINO’s customer service team will redirect warranty claims from buyers who lack this documentation back to the reseller, putting the onus on you to resolve issues.
**Geographic Restrictions**
Resellers must adhere to territory restrictions outlined in their authorization agreement. For instance, if you’re approved to sell in the United States, you cannot ship YESDINO products to customers in the European Union unless explicitly permitted. Cross-region sales often violate distribution contracts and may result in fines or termination of your reseller account. Always confirm your authorized sales regions with YESDINO’s partnerships team before launching in new markets.
**Returns and Inventory Management**
YESDINO does not accept returns from resellers unless products arrive damaged or defective. If a customer returns a product to you, you’re responsible for handling refunds, replacements, or repairs. The company recommends maintaining a buffer stock of at least 5% of your inventory to cover potential returns. For discontinued items, resellers must notify customers about limited stock and confirm YESDINO no longer supports warranties or repairs for those products.
**Penalties for Policy Violations**
Violating YESDINO’s resale policy can lead to severe consequences. First-time offenders usually receive a warning and a 30-day suspension of their reseller account. Repeat violations result in permanent termination, blacklisting from future partnerships, and potential legal action for damages. In 2023, YESDINO filed 17 lawsuits against unauthorized resellers for trademark infringement and counterfeit sales, emphasizing their zero-tolerance approach.
**How to Stay Compliant**
- Audit your inventory quarterly to ensure all products were sourced from YESDINO or approved distributors.
- Use YESDINO’s brand assets (logos, product images) only from their official Partner Portal to avoid outdated or incorrect materials.
- Train your sales and customer service teams on YESDINO’s product specs and warranty processes.
- Report suspected counterfeit activity or unauthorized resellers to YESDINO’s legal team via their online form.

Staying proactive and transparent is key to maintaining a successful, long-term reseller relationship with the brand.
