3. Products and Pricing
3.1 Product Descriptions
We make every effort to accurately describe the products listed on our Site, including specifications, horsepower ratings, dimensions, weights, compatibility, and features. However, we do not warrant that product descriptions, images, specifications, pricing, or other content on the Site is complete, accurate, reliable, current, or error-free. Product specifications provided by manufacturers are subject to change without notice.
Images of products are for illustrative purposes only. Actual products may vary slightly from images shown. Color representations may differ depending on your device’s display settings.
3.2 Pricing
All prices displayed on the Site are in U.S. Dollars (USD) unless otherwise stated. Prices are subject to change at any time without notice prior to your order being placed and confirmed. We are not obligated to honor pricing errors — if a product is listed at an incorrect price due to a typographical error or system error, we reserve the right to cancel the order and refund any amount charged, even after an order confirmation has been sent.
Prices shown on the Site do not include:
- Applicable sales tax (calculated and added at checkout based on your delivery address)
- Shipping and freight charges (calculated at checkout or quoted separately for large items)
- Import duties, customs fees, and taxes for international orders (payable by the recipient)
- Installation charges (quoted separately for service appointments)
3.3 Sales Tax
Boat Engine LLC collects sales tax on orders shipped to states where we have nexus or are required to collect tax under applicable law, including New York. Tax rates are calculated based on the ship-to address. Tax-exempt customers must provide a valid exemption certificate prior to placing their order — please contact us at (415) 448-6583 before ordering.
3.4 Product Availability
Product availability is not guaranteed. Inventory levels on our Site are updated regularly but may not reflect real-time stock. If a product you order becomes unavailable after your order is placed, we will notify you promptly and offer you the choice of a backorder, an alternative product, or a full refund. We are not liable for any damages resulting from product unavailability.
3.5 Authorized Dealer Compliance
As an authorized dealer for Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Tohatsu, Honda, Torqeedo, and Seakeeper, we are bound by dealer agreements with each manufacturer. These agreements may restrict certain pricing practices, geographic sales limitations, or promotional activities. We comply fully with all manufacturer dealer policies. Purchases made through Boat Engine LLC include full manufacturer warranty coverage and factory-authorized support.
4. Orders and Payment
4.1 Placing an Order
When you place an order through our Site or by phone, you are making an offer to purchase the specified products at the displayed price. An order confirmation email does not constitute acceptance of your order — acceptance occurs when we ship the item(s) and send a shipping confirmation. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at our discretion, including orders that appear to be placed for resale in violation of manufacturer dealer policies, orders with suspected fraudulent payment information, or orders that cannot be fulfilled due to pricing errors or inventory limitations.
4.2 Payment Methods
We accept the following payment methods:
- Major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover)
- PayPal
- Bank wire transfer (for large orders — contact us for wire instructions)
- Financing through approved third-party financing partners (subject to credit approval)
Payment is processed at the time of order placement. All transactions are processed through secure, PCI-compliant payment processors. We do not store full credit card numbers on our servers.
4.3 Order Cancellations
You may request cancellation of an order before it has been processed and shipped. Once an order has shipped, the standard return process applies. Special orders — items not normally stocked that are ordered specifically for you — cannot be cancelled once confirmed with the manufacturer or supplier. See our Shipping & Returns Policy for full cancellation terms.
4.4 Fraud Prevention
We reserve the right to verify payment information and the identity of the cardholder for any order. We may request additional verification documents for large orders or orders shipped to an address different from the billing address. Orders that fail verification may be cancelled and refunded. We report confirmed fraud to relevant law enforcement authorities.
5. Shipping and Delivery
All shipping terms, including domestic and international shipping, freight delivery, transit times, damage claims, and lost shipment procedures, are governed by our Shipping & Returns Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
Risk of loss and title for products purchased from Boat Engine LLC passes to the buyer upon delivery of the item(s) to the carrier. Once a shipment is in the carrier’s possession, the carrier assumes responsibility for delivery. We will assist customers in filing carrier claims for lost or damaged shipments but are not liable for carrier performance.
6. Returns, Refunds, and Warranties
All return, refund, exchange, and warranty terms are governed by our Shipping & Returns Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
Manufacturer warranties are provided by the respective manufacturers (Yamaha, Mercury, Suzuki, Tohatsu, Honda, Torqeedo, Seakeeper) and are separate from any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection law. Boat Engine LLC, as an authorized service dealer for all brands we carry, will facilitate warranty service on your behalf.

10. Service Appointments and In-Store Transactions
10.1 Service Scheduling
Service appointments made through the Site, by phone, or by email are subject to availability and confirmation by our service team.

13.1 Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles. To the extent applicable, federal law of the United States also governs these Terms.
13.2 Informal Resolution
Before initiating any formal legal proceeding, you agree to contact us first at legal@boatengine.net to describe the dispute and attempt to resolve it informally. We will attempt to respond within 15 business days. Most customer concerns can be resolved quickly and informally.
13.3 Binding Arbitration
If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of the Site or our products shall be settled by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, with the arbitration conducted in New York, New York. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver: You and Boat Engine LLC agree that each party may only bring claims against the other in an individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action, class arbitration, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims.
13.4 Exceptions to Arbitration
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction in New York to protect intellectual property rights or to prevent imminent harm. Nothing in this section prevents either party from filing a claim in small claims court for disputes within that court’s jurisdiction.

For any disputes not subject to arbitration, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

You agree that electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time, but you cannot opt out of transactional communications related to active orders or service appointments.
16. Force Majeure
Boat Engine LLC shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform our obligations under these Terms where such delay or failure results from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, floods, fires, earthquakes, pandemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor strikes, government actions, embargoes, port closures, carrier disruptions, manufacturer delays, supply chain disruptions, or internet or telecommunications outages.
In such circumstances, we will notify you as soon as reasonably practicable and resume performance as soon as the force majeure event is resolved. If a force majeure event prevents us from fulfilling your order for more than 60 days, either party may cancel the order and you will receive a full refund of any amount paid.
