Misuse, Grey Market and Counterfeiting of Products

Combating the unauthorized resale or diversion, and the unintended misuse of products and technologies, is a challenge the entire semiconductor industry faces and one which ADI takes very seriously.

To respond to these challenges, ADI routinely reviews its internal controls, practices, and distribution channels, as well as our processes to monitor for unauthorized sale and product misuse. ADI takes proactive steps to identify and counter this activity, which include implementing enhanced monitoring and audit processes and taking enforcement action where appropriate to reduce unauthorized resale, diversion, and unintended misuse of our products. We are also enhancing our monitoring of grey market activity overall.

Products not purchased from ADI authorized sources – including purchases through brokers, resellers, or third-party online marketplaces – may be counterfeit or unreliable. Counterfeit products are not manufactured, packaged, labeled, stored, shipped, or handled according to ADI’s standards. ADI does not warrant or provide support for any parts purchased through unauthorized channels.

ADI does not support or condone the use of its products in end applications for which they were not designed or intended, and also does not illicit diversion of its products to sanctioned countries. ADI is committed to complying with all applicable laws and regulations in the countries where we operate. We will continue to look for ways to identify and prevent third party attempts to engage in these activities. Steps include taking additional internal and external measures such as cooperation with government agencies and other external parties.
