Why Avaya authorized partners

Purchasing Avaya products

When you purchase Avaya products or services from Avaya authorized resellers with authorization to sell within your region, you can expect to receive new equipment fully supported by Avaya.

If your Avaya product or component was purchased from a non-authorized source, Avaya cannot:

  • Guarantee its authenticity
  • Certify the equipment for Avaya maintenance support eligibility
  • Provide Avaya support

 

If such a product causes or is involved in a system failure, the failure is not covered by an Avaya warranty or an existing Avaya maintenance contract and places the entire system at risk.

Unauthorized resellers have not been granted by Avaya a license to distribute or to sublicense any Avaya proprietary products. Avaya’s software products are the proprietary intellectual property of Avaya and are protected under international, US federal and state intellectual property laws including, for example, copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws. Since these unauthorized resellers have no contractual relationship with Avaya regarding our products or services, they are not authorized by Avaya to sell, install, or distribute such products to customers or otherwise and have no direct access to any support from Avaya or Avaya’s authorized resellers.

 

To learn more about unauthorized resellers and their products including sales practices commonly used to mislead customers, please reference our fact sheet: Unauthorized Resellers – Separating Fact from Fiction.

 

For additional information on Unauthorized Maintenance Providers, please reference our fact sheet: Unauthorized Maintenance Providers – Separating Fact from Fiction.

 

Products sold outside of authorized channels are commonly referred to as “gray market.” Avaya defines gray market as generally available Avaya products or components, represented as new or unused, and acquired or sold by a source other than Avaya or Avaya authorized partner, at any point before reaching the end user customer. Unauthorized resellers which deal in gray market products may mix gray, refurbished, or counterfeit, products but misrepresent them as new, authentic products.

 

Below is a list of some companies that are not authorized by Avaya to sell new Avaya products. This is not intended to be a complete list and is subject to change at any time by Avaya.
