Service upon secretary of state in lieu of appointed or designated agent--Such service does not constitute compliance

Any nonparticipating manufacturer whose products are sold in this state without appointing or designating an agent as required by §§ 10-50-72 to 10-50-92 , inclusive, shall be deemed to have appointed the secretary of state as its agent and may be proceeded against in courts of this state by service of process upon the secretary of state. However, the appointment of the secretary of state as its agent does not constitute compliance for the purpose of having a nonparticipating manufacturer or its brand families listed or retained in the directory.
