Disciplined partner classification — evidence before assertion.
HEXATECH applies a three-tier convention to all partner relationships. Specific partner identities are published only where the evidentiary standard for the applicable tier is met.
The tier convention.
HEXATECH publishes partner identities under a three-tier convention that maps evidentiary rigour to public claim. The convention is applied across divisions and is enforced at publication by the Compliance Officer.
Tier A — Authorised Distributor
Claim: Partner named; relationship identified as Authorised Distributor for specified territory and product scope; partner logo used with consent.
Required evidence: Signed distributor agreement on file; current OEM written consent to public use of identity.
Tier B — Cooperation Partner
Claim: Partner named; relationship identified as Cooperation Partner or Strategic Partner, without territorial-exclusivity claim; logo used with consent.
Required evidence: Documented cooperation instrument (MoU, project agreement) on file.
Tier C — Represented Brand
Claim: Partner named under a neutral heading (e.g. "Brands we work with"), without exclusivity or cooperation claim. Default posture.
Required evidence: Supply history or engagement record sufficient for factual representation.
Portfolio — as published.
The portfolio below reflects partnerships where the evidentiary standard for public claim is met. The live portfolio is broader; the full partner detail — including Division II partner identities, tier classification, and engagement scope — is available to verified counterparties through the Partners Portal.
Tier A — Authorised Distributor
Tier B & C — Categorical treatment
Specific OEM and implementer identities are asserted publicly only where the evidentiary standard for the applicable tier is met. In the absence of documented consent, categorical treatment is preferred. This is a deliberate compliance discipline — not an omission.
