“Resellers” shall include (i) any of GALE Pacific’s direct customers, including distributors (“Direct Customers”); (ii) any retail customer supplied GALE Pacific Products by any Direct Customer and who has entered into an Authorized Retailer Program Agreement with GALE Pacific. No other reseller is authorized to resell GALE Pacific Products.
- Sales to End Users Only. Unless otherwise agreed with GALE Pacific in writing, Reseller may only purchase Products for resale to consumers and end usercustomers, and Reseller may not resell Products to other Resellers, distributors or for further distribution in any manner.
- No Sales on Online Marketplaces. Authorized Resellers shall not directly, or indirectly offer Products for sale on or through a third-party retail website, online marketplace, or action site, or any comparable website, or on or through any marketing website affiliated with any such site, without express written consent by GALE Pacific.

- Policy Violations. In addition to all other available remedies under the law, sales in violation of this Policy or Authorized Reseller Agreement may result in immediate revocation of Authorized Resellers’ status.
