Welcome to Dune Theory. These Terms of Service ("Terms," "Terms of Service," or "Agreement") govern your access to and use of the Dune Theory website, online store, products, services, content, and related features (collectively, the "Services").
By accessing or using the Dune Theory website, creating an account, placing an order, or otherwise using our Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our applicable policies, including our Return & Refund Policy, Shipping Policy, Privacy Policy, and Warranty Policy, each of which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the website or purchase products from Dune Theory.
1. About Dune Theory
Dune Theory is an online retailer of off-road, automotive, overlanding, recovery, adventure, and related products.
Many products offered through Dune Theory are manufactured and fulfilled by independent third-party manufacturers, suppliers, or distribution partners. Products may therefore ship directly from a manufacturer or supplier rather than from a Dune Theory facility.
Dune Theory is not the manufacturer of third-party products unless expressly identified as the manufacturer of a particular product.
2. Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing or using the Services, you represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms.
If you are purchasing products on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that business or organization to these Terms.
These Terms apply to all purchases made through Dune Theory unless a separate written agreement signed by Dune Theory expressly provides otherwise.
3. Website Use
You agree to use the Dune Theory website only for lawful purposes.
You may not:
-
Use the website in violation of any applicable law or regulation.
-
Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any account, system, server, or network.
-
Interfere with or disrupt the operation or security of the website.
-
Use automated systems, bots, scrapers, or similar methods to access or collect website information without authorization.
-
Upload malicious code, viruses, or other harmful material.
-
Attempt to circumvent security features or access restrictions.
-
Use the website to engage in fraudulent activity.
-
Reproduce, copy, distribute, modify, or exploit Dune Theory content without authorization.
Dune Theory reserves the right to restrict, suspend, or terminate access to the Services when reasonably necessary to protect the website, customers, business operations, or other users.
4. Product Information
Dune Theory makes reasonable efforts to provide accurate product descriptions, specifications, photographs, pricing, compatibility information, availability information, and other product content.
However, product information may originate from manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, or other third parties.
Product images may differ from the actual product due to photography, lighting, display settings, manufacturing revisions, or other factors.
Manufacturers may modify product specifications, designs, colors, packaging, materials, or features without notice.
Dune Theory does not guarantee that every product description, photograph, specification, dimension, compatibility statement, or other product information will always be complete, current, or error-free.
Where manufacturer specifications conflict with information displayed by Dune Theory, the manufacturer's current specifications should be considered controlling, subject to applicable law.
5. Product Compatibility
Customers are responsible for confirming that a product is appropriate and compatible with their vehicle, application, intended use, and configuration before purchase and installation.
Vehicle configurations may vary by model year, trim, drivetrain, options, modifications, production changes, and region.
Dune Theory may provide vehicle compatibility information as a convenience, but customers should independently verify compatibility when necessary.
If professional installation is recommended by the manufacturer, customers should have the product installed by a qualified professional.
6. Vehicle Modification and Off-Road Use
Off-road vehicles and vehicle modifications involve inherent risks.
Products sold through Dune Theory may affect vehicle handling, ground clearance, weight distribution, performance, braking, suspension characteristics, visibility, or other vehicle characteristics.
Customers are responsible for determining whether a product is suitable for their intended use and for ensuring that products are installed, maintained, and operated according to manufacturer instructions, applicable laws, and appropriate safety practices.
Customers are responsible for understanding the risks associated with vehicle modification and off-road use.
Dune Theory does not encourage unsafe, unlawful, reckless, or irresponsible operation of any vehicle or equipment.
7. Product Installation
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Dune Theory does not provide installation services.
Installation should be performed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that products are installed correctly and safely.
Improper installation, modification, misuse, abuse, neglect, or failure to follow manufacturer instructions may void applicable manufacturer warranties and may create safety risks.
Installation labor and related costs are generally the customer's responsibility unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.
8. Orders and Acceptance
Submitting an order through the Dune Theory website constitutes an offer to purchase the selected products.
An order is not considered accepted until Dune Theory or the applicable fulfillment partner accepts and processes the order.
Dune Theory reserves the right to refuse, cancel, limit, or modify any order for legitimate business reasons, including:

Product availability
-
Pricing or listing errors
-
Suspected fraud
-
Payment problems

Manufacturer or supplier restrictions

Other circumstances that prevent fulfillment

9. Pricing and Product Availability
Dune Theory reserves the right to change product prices, availability, specifications, promotions, and other product information at any time.
Prices displayed at the time an order is accepted generally apply to that order.
Dune Theory does not guarantee that products will remain available after an order is placed.

Dune Theory is not responsible for manufacturer or carrier delays beyond Dune Theory's reasonable control, subject to applicable law.
Shipping charges and responsibilities are governed by the Dune Theory Shipping Policy.

13. Warranties
Third-party products sold by Dune Theory are generally covered, if at all, by the applicable manufacturer's warranty.
Dune Theory does not manufacture third-party products and does not independently provide or administer the manufacturer's warranty.
Warranty duration, coverage, exclusions, eligibility, remedies, and claim procedures are determined by the applicable manufacturer.
Customers seeking warranty assistance for a third-party product should follow the applicable manufacturer's warranty process and contact the manufacturer as directed by Dune Theory.
Dune Theory may provide reasonable assistance in directing customers to the appropriate manufacturer but does not replace the manufacturer's warranty process.
Any warranty provided by Dune Theory for a product actually manufactured and sold by Dune Theory will be governed by a separate Dune Theory warranty.
Nothing in these Terms is intended to disclaim or limit any warranty, right, or remedy that cannot lawfully be disclaimed or limited.

Shipping requirements
-
Product availability
-
Manufacturing schedules
-
Product restrictions
-
Exchange procedures
Where applicable, these manufacturer-specific requirements may affect a customer's transaction with Dune Theory.
Dune Theory is not responsible for independently honoring a manufacturer's warranty for a third-party product.
15. Payments
Customers agree to provide accurate and complete payment and billing information.
Dune Theory may use third-party payment processors to process transactions.
By submitting payment information, you authorize Dune Theory and its applicable payment provider to process the transaction.
If a payment is declined, reversed, disputed, or otherwise not successfully completed, Dune Theory may suspend or cancel the applicable order.
Customers are responsible for applicable taxes, duties, fees, and other charges associated with their purchase unless otherwise stated.

Orders may be delayed, canceled, or subject to additional verification when reasonably necessary to protect Dune Theory and its customers.
17. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes
Customers should contact Dune Theory directly regarding order, return, refund, shipping, or billing concerns so that Dune Theory has an opportunity to investigate and resolve the issue.
Nothing in this section limits any rights available to customers under applicable law or the rules of the applicable payment network.

If a separate written agreement signed by Dune Theory expressly conflicts with these Terms, the separate written agreement will control to the extent of the conflict.
32. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms will be governed by the laws applicable in the State of Louisiana, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent federal law or applicable consumer-protection law provides otherwise.
