Terms of Service

Effective Date: February 6, 2026 Last Updated: February 6, 2026

Please read these Terms of Service ("Terms") carefully before using the SideLine Gear website at sidelinegear.com (also accessible at sparten.store). By accessing or using our website, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Agreement to Terms

By visiting, browsing, or purchasing from SideLine Gear ("we," "us," or "our"), you agree to these Terms of Service, our Privacy Policy, and our Return Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use our website.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes, we'll update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify you by email. Your continued use of the website after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

2. Use of Website

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to make purchases on our website. Minors may browse the site with parental supervision but may not create accounts or place orders.

Your Account

If you create an account with us, you're responsible for:

  • Keeping your login credentials secure
  • All activity that occurs under your account
  • Notifying us immediately at [EMAIL] if you suspect unauthorized access

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or that we reasonably believe are being used fraudulently.

Acceptable Use

When using our website, you agree not to:

  • Use the site for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems or other users' accounts
  • Upload or transmit viruses, malware, or other harmful code
  • Scrape, crawl, or use automated tools to extract data from our website without written permission
  • Interfere with or disrupt the website's functionality
  • Impersonate another person or entity
  • Use the site in any way that could damage our reputation or business

3. Products and Pricing

Product Descriptions

We work hard to display our products accurately, including descriptions, images, and specifications. However, we don't guarantee that product descriptions, colors, or other content on the website are error-free, complete, or current.

Colors may appear differently on your screen than in person due to monitor settings. If a product you receive is materially different from its description, you're welcome to return it per our Return Policy.

Pricing

All prices are listed in U.S. dollars (USD) and do not include shipping or applicable taxes, which are calculated at checkout.

We reserve the right to change prices at any time without prior notice. Price changes do not affect orders that have already been confirmed. If we discover a pricing error on an order that hasn't shipped, we'll contact you to confirm whether you'd like to proceed at the correct price or cancel the order.

Availability

Product availability may change without notice. We do our best to keep inventory status accurate, but occasionally an item may be out of stock after you've placed an order. If this happens, we'll notify you promptly and offer a full refund or a comparable alternative.

4. Orders and Payment

Placing an Order

Submitting an order constitutes an offer to purchase. We reserve the right to accept or decline any order for any reason, including but not limited to:

  • Product availability
  • Errors in pricing or product information
  • Suspected fraud
  • Quantity limits (we may restrict quantities for certain items)

Order Confirmation

After you place an order, you'll receive an email confirmation with your order details. This confirmation means we've received your order — it does not guarantee acceptance. Your order is accepted when we send you a shipping confirmation.

Payment

We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and other payment methods displayed at checkout. Payment is processed securely through Shopify Payments (powered by Stripe). By providing your payment information, you confirm that you're authorized to use the payment method.

All charges are final once your order has shipped, except as outlined in our Return Policy.

5. Shipping and Delivery

Shipping Methods

We offer standard and expedited shipping options within the United States. Specific shipping rates and estimated delivery times are displayed at checkout.

Delivery Times

Delivery estimates are just that — estimates. While we work hard to ensure timely delivery, we are not responsible for delays caused by shipping carriers, weather, customs (for international orders), or other circumstances beyond our control.

Risk of Loss

All products purchased from SideLine Gear are delivered by third-party carriers. Risk of loss and title for products pass to you upon delivery to the carrier.

Shipping Issues

If your order arrives damaged, is missing items, or doesn't arrive at all, contact us at [EMAIL] within 7 days of the expected delivery date. We'll work with you to resolve the issue.

6. Returns and Refunds

Returns and refunds are governed by our Return Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. Key highlights:

  • 30-day return window from the date of delivery
  • Items must be unused and in original packaging
  • Refunds are processed within 5-7 business days of receiving the returned item
  • Some items are final sale and not eligible for return

Please review our full Return Policy for complete details.

7. Intellectual Property

Our Content

All content on the SideLine Gear website — including text, images, graphics, logos, product descriptions, page layouts, and software — is owned by or licensed to SideLine Gear and is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, or create derivative works from our content without our prior written consent.

Trademarks

"SideLine Gear," our logo, and our taglines are trademarks of SideLine Gear. You may not use our trademarks without our written permission.

Limited License

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the website for personal, non-commercial purposes (i.e., shopping and browsing). This license does not include the right to resell or commercially use our website or its content.

8. User Content

Customer Reviews and Feedback

If you submit a product review, comment, photo, or other content ("User Content") to our website, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide, perpetual license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute that content in connection with our business, including on our website, social media, and marketing materials.

You represent that:

  • You own or have the right to submit the content
  • Your content does not violate any third party's rights
  • Your content is truthful and not misleading

We reserve the right to remove any User Content that violates these Terms, is inappropriate, or that we determine in our sole discretion is not in the best interest of our community.

9. Disclaimers

THE WEBSITE AND ALL PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that:

  • The website will be available at all times or free from errors
  • Defects will be corrected
  • The website or servers are free of viruses or harmful components
  • Product descriptions or other content are accurate, complete, reliable, or error-free

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so some of the above exclusions may not apply to you. In that case, our liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

10. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SIDELINE GEAR, ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO:

  • YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE WEBSITE
  • ANY PRODUCTS PURCHASED THROUGH THE WEBSITE
  • ANY CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY ON THE WEBSITE
  • UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR DATA

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS OR YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR SERVICE GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR $100.00, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations on incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless SideLine Gear, its owners, officers, employees, agents, and suppliers from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) arising from:

  • Your use of the website
  • Your violation of these Terms
  • Your violation of any third party's rights
  • Any User Content you submit

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [STATE], without regard to its conflict of law principles.

13. Dispute Resolution

Informal Resolution First

Before filing any formal legal action, you agree to contact us at [EMAIL] and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days. Most concerns can be resolved quickly and directly when we work together.

Arbitration

If we can't resolve a dispute informally, you and SideLine Gear agree to resolve any claims through binding individual arbitration, rather than in court. Arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules.

  • Arbitration will take place in [STATE] or, if you prefer, by phone or video conference
  • The arbitrator's decision is final and binding
  • Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction

Class Action Waiver

YOU AND SIDELINE GEAR AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

Exceptions

The following disputes are exempt from the arbitration requirement:

  • Claims that may be brought in small claims court
  • Intellectual property disputes
  • Requests for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the website

14. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

15. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Return Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and SideLine Gear regarding your use of the website. These Terms supersede any prior agreements, communications, or proposals, whether oral or written, between you and SideLine Gear.

No waiver of any term or condition shall be considered a further or continuing waiver of that term or any other term. Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
