What is the difference between a dealer and a distributor?
A dealer is a person, usually the retailer, who sells agricultural implements in Saskatchewan. In a warranty, the dealer referred to is usually the selling dealer. Dealers are licensed annually while distributors are simply registered and assessed an annual payment to the compensation fund. A distributor must be appointed as the manufacturer’s representative in Saskatchewan and registered with the Province of Saskatchewan. The distributor is responsible for supplying repair parts and providing warranty for the manufacturer’s implements sold in Saskatchewan.
