    Terms of Service

    Last updated: April 26, 2026

    These terms govern your use of the Common Ground Marine storefront and any products you purchase from us. Please read them carefully before placing an order or creating an account.

    Acceptance of these terms

    By using the Common Ground Marine storefront, dealer portal, configurator, or any related service, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

    These terms apply to retail customers, dealers, and anyone browsing the catalog. Dealer accounts may be subject to additional terms specified in your dealer agreement; where the two conflict, the dealer agreement controls.

    Accounts

    You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential and for any activity that happens under your account. Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been used without your permission. We may suspend or close accounts that are used in violation of these terms.

    Orders and pricing

    Prices, availability, and product specifications shown on the storefront are subject to change without notice. We make reasonable efforts to keep the catalog accurate, but we do not guarantee that descriptions, images, or specifications are error-free.

    When you place an order, you make an offer to buy the listed items at the listed prices. We accept your order when we confirm it by email or, in the case of dealer orders, when we enter it into our production system. We reserve the right to decline or cancel any order — for example, if a price was listed in error, the product is no longer available, or we suspect fraud.

    Custom harnesses and quoted work

    Custom harnesses, panel layouts, and other quoted work are built to the specifications you approve in writing. Once production has started, custom items are non-cancellable and non-returnable. We will work with you to confirm specifications before any cutting, crimping, or assembly begins.

    Shipping, returns, and warranty

    Shipping charges and estimated delivery times are calculated at checkout based on the carrier, destination, and weight. Title and risk of loss pass to you when the carrier accepts the shipment.

    Stock items in their original, unused condition may be returned within thirty (30) days of delivery. Custom and quoted items are non-returnable except where the product is defective. If a product fails because of a manufacturing defect, contact us and we will arrange a repair, replacement, or refund consistent with our warranty.

    Acceptable use

    You agree not to:

    • Use the site to violate any applicable law, regulation, or third-party right.
    • Attempt to interfere with or disrupt the site, its security, or its underlying infrastructure.
    • Scrape, harvest, or otherwise extract data from the site outside of normal browser use without our written permission.
    • Submit content through the contact form or any other input that is unlawful, abusive, or designed to deceive.

    Intellectual property

    The site, including its text, images, logos, drawings, BOMs, configurator output, and software, is owned by Common Ground Marine or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may use the site to evaluate, purchase, and install our products; any other use requires our written permission.

    Third-party services and links

    The site may link to third-party websites or rely on third-party services (for example, payment processors and shipping carriers). We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their content, terms, or practices.

    Disclaimer of warranties

    Except for any express written warranty that accompanies a specific product, the site and all products are provided "as is" and "as available." To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

    Limitation of liability

    To the fullest extent permitted by law, Common Ground Marine will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the site or any product you purchase. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or related to these terms or a product purchased from us will not exceed the amount you paid for the product giving rise to the claim.

    Indemnification

    You agree to indemnify and hold Common Ground Marine harmless from any claim, demand, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of your misuse of the site, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

    Changes to these terms

    We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "last updated" date above. Continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.

    Governing law

    These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the state in which Common Ground Marine maintains its principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising under these terms will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in that jurisdiction, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
