Effective Date: September 3, 2026
These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the American Line Gear website, online store, products, content, and related services collectively referred to as the “Services.”
Throughout these Terms, “American Line Gear,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to American Line Gear. “You,” “your,” “customer,” and “buyer” refer to any person or organization accessing the Services or purchasing our products.
By visiting our website, creating an account, placing an order, or otherwise using the Services, you agree to these Terms and our applicable policies, including our Return Policy and Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.
1. ELIGIBILITY
You must be at least 18 years old or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction to make a purchase through our website.
By using the Services, you represent that:
- You have the legal authority to agree to these Terms
- The information you provide is accurate and complete
- You will use the Services and our products only for lawful purposes

We reserve the right to refuse service, cancel orders, or restrict access to the Services when permitted by law.

Certain features may require you to create an account.
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login information and for all activity occurring through your account. You agree to notify American Line Gear promptly if you believe your account has been accessed or used without authorization.
You are responsible for ensuring that your contact, billing, and shipping information remains accurate and current.
We are not responsible for losses caused by inaccurate information provided by the customer or by unauthorized account access resulting from the customer’s failure to protect their login credentials.
3. PRODUCT INFORMATION
We make reasonable efforts to display product descriptions, specifications, colors, measurements, photographs, pricing, and availability accurately. However, we do not guarantee that all website information will be complete, current, or error-free.
Colors and product appearance may vary depending on lighting, photography, production materials, manufacturing updates, and the device or screen used to view the product.
Measurements and weights may be approximate unless expressly stated otherwise.
We may update, improve, modify, or discontinue a product without notice. Updated products may differ slightly from photographs, descriptions, or previous versions while maintaining substantially similar functionality.
Product images are provided for reference and may include accessories, tools, equipment, or background items that are not included with the product unless specifically stated.
4. PRODUCT USE
American Line Gear products must be used only for their intended purposes and in accordance with all supplied instructions, warnings, labels, and applicable industry practices.

5. ORDERS
Your submission of an order is an offer to purchase the products listed in the order. An order is not accepted until American Line Gear confirms acceptance or ships the product.
An automated order-confirmation email acknowledges receipt of your order but does not necessarily constitute final acceptance.
We reserve the right to:

- Limit order quantities
- Restrict sales to certain individuals, businesses, regions, or jurisdictions
- Cancel orders involving pricing, inventory, payment, or website errors
- Cancel orders suspected of fraud, unauthorized resale, or misuse

If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will issue a refund for the canceled portion to the original payment method.
6. PRICING AND AVAILABILITY
All prices are displayed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
Prices, promotions, product availability, and specifications may change without notice. A product placed in a shopping cart is not reserved and may become unavailable before checkout is completed.
We reserve the right to correct pricing, description, inventory, discount, or calculation errors. If an error affects an order, we may contact you for instructions or cancel the affected order and issue an appropriate refund.
Promotional pricing, discount codes, and special offers:
- Are valid only during the stated promotional period
- May be limited to specific products or customers
- Cannot be combined unless expressly permitted
- Have no cash value
- May not be applied to previous purchases
- May be modified or discontinued where permitted by law
7. PAYMENT
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate billing and payment information.
By submitting payment information, you represent that you are authorized to use the selected payment method and authorize American Line Gear and its payment providers to charge the total amount shown at checkout.
The amount charged may include:
- Product prices
- Shipping and handling
- Applicable taxes
- Customs duties or import charges when applicable
- Other charges disclosed before checkout is completed
Orders may be delayed or canceled if payment cannot be authorized, verified, or completed.
8. TAXES
Applicable sales tax will be calculated based on the order, products, shipping destination, and legal requirements in effect at the time of purchase.
Customers purchasing on behalf of a tax-exempt organization must provide valid documentation before placing an order if they wish to claim an exemption. Tax refunds are not guaranteed when exemption documents are provided after an order has been completed.
International buyers are responsible for applicable duties, tariffs, brokerage fees, import taxes, and other charges imposed by the destination country.
9. SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Shipping and delivery estimates are provided for convenience and are not guaranteed unless expressly stated in writing.
Delivery may be affected by carrier delays, weather, natural disasters, labor disruptions, incorrect addresses, supply issues, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.
The buyer is responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address. Additional costs resulting from an incorrect address, refused delivery, failed delivery attempts, or failure to collect a shipment may be charged to the buyer or deducted from any available refund.
The buyer must inspect delivered packages promptly and report damaged, defective, incomplete, or incorrect orders to Crew@americanlinegear.com within five calendar days of delivery.
American Line Gear is not responsible for delivery delays or losses caused by events outside our reasonable control, subject to applicable law.

12. PURCHASES FROM AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS
Products purchased through an authorized American Line Gear distributor are subject to that seller’s payment, shipping, return, and exchange policies.
