Flankry my dear I don’t give a damn (darned typos, dark chocolate must be kicking in).
I have several Klarus products purchased from some of the vendors that appear on the list.
By the publication of that list I guess that “there is locked cat”.
When “there is locked cat” I stop buying.
Therefore I declare: I will not buy more Klarus products until the “locked cat” is solved.
Thanks to Klarus for the alert.
Very bad business practice if you ask me. Klarus should talk to the retailers. Not punishing buyers who had no idea the mentioned shops aren’t authorized distributors.
How can those shops even have the lights in stock if Klarus didn’t sell them to them?
there are multiple ways of getting stock. indirect channels, buying up inventory from secondary markets, straw man transaction from manufacturer.
So I understand why this official statement was issued; it is also useful information for buyers. A complete list of authorized sellers would be the right amendment though, including the latest warranty guidelines and what will happen to consumers who already bought from the stores listed above.
Wow. This really needs some Klarification.
So where do all these “unauthorized” dealers, get stuff to sell?
wle
I just spread the word on TLF, too. So, more (potential) Klarus customers will be warned about this business conduct. :FACEPALM:
I hereby officially declare not to buy any further Klarus products anywhere until Klarus stops taking their customers hostage upon conflicts between manufacturer and retailers.
Klar.
This is not okay. I will never buy another Klarus light until this is solved. 
Translation,
Some of our other High Margin sellers have their panties in a wad and are beetching about legit competition taking their profits, so now we will go on a Rant and try to tell our customers what and where they can buy our products under the veil of useless Threats.
OK, you told us and you did so, not in the Commercial section where you should be and now I Officially Declare…………You can ……Kiss my Azz.
Own a few Klarus products and while the fit and finish is good, they are not the end all nor are they something that makes me say “Ohh, I gotta have that”
Carry on!*
Just another reason to not buy their product, make sure this gets posted on redit, CPF, TLF, Etc.
Just to pile on cause they seem to have a history of poor marketing choices:
Do we know for sure that’s legit? Is guy above (still) legit Klarus representative?
(yeah, I see avatar logo and nickname)
Update.
I got confirmation via klaruslight.com mail response that this announcement is authentic.
I think this deklaration is the real counterfeit. They couldn't even get banggood.com right, I'm sure the real Klarus wouldn't make such an embarrassing mistake.
Yes
while this is true, the manufacturer can freely choose to offer warranty on his own terms. This is on top of the after sales service which the dealer has to provide.
Klarus torches are so backward that I have never had the desire to have even one. That’s why this declaration does not change anything for me.
I actually like Klarus flashlights. Maybe some store above wants to get rid of their complete Klarus collection for low price, now? 
Waiting for megacheap Klarus deals by ban(g)good
They have a really cool silent/tactical switch. But I have never owned a klarus… now I may never do because nobody is authorized 
Is this because thy have too many product reclaim and refund issue?
