GatorStrike LLC + Authentic.net: Ensuring Genuine Pickleball Products & Secure Transfers
Product Authentication & Counterfeit Prevention
Every GatorStrike Pickleball paddle is embedded with a unique Authentic.net digital fingerprint (QR code or NFC tag).
Customers can scan the code via the Authentic.net app or website to instantly verify if the paddle is genuine and officially distributed by GatorStrike.
AI-driven monitoring detects and flags counterfeit listings across online marketplaces, preventing rogue sellers from misleading customers.
Verified Warranty Registration & Protection
Upon scanning their paddle, buyers are prompted to register their product on Authentic.net for warranty activation.
Only paddles purchased through authorized dealers or direct sales qualify for the GatorStrike warranty, ensuring brand integrity and customer trust.
Automatic notifications inform customers if their paddle was purchased from an unapproved seller or a suspected counterfeit source.
M.A.P. Agreement Compliance & Rogue Seller Detection
Authentic.net continuously tracks pricing across online and retail channels to ensure GatorStrike’s Minimum Advertised Price (M.A.P.) policies are enforced.
Violations are flagged in real-time, allowing GatorStrike to take action against unauthorized discounting or gray-market sellers.
Secure Paddle Ownership Transfers & Certificate Issuance
When a player sells or gifts a paddle, Authentic.net allows the transfer of ownership via a secure blockchain-backed certificate.
The new owner scans the paddle to initiate the transfer, and Authentic.net verifies the paddle’s history before issuing a digital certificate of authenticity.
Players can confidently buy/sell pre-owned paddles, knowing they are authentic and still under warranty if applicable.
Trusted Distribution & Point-to-Point Tracking
Every GatorStrike paddle has a verifiable supply chain history, ensuring it was shipped through official distribution channels.
Geo-tagging technology confirms that paddles are sold in approved regions and not diverted into unauthorized marketplaces.
Player & Brand Protection
Players can use Authentic.net to check a paddle’s history, previous ownership, and warranty status before purchasing.
GatorStrike maintains brand credibility and customer trust by eliminating counterfeits, unauthorized sellers, and M.A.P. violations.
