Due to our commitment to process orders quickly, there is a short period of time in which you may cancel your order.
You may choose to cancel your entire order or a portion of your order as long as the order has not yet
been sent to our warehouse for fulfillment. Once the order has been sent to our warehouse for fulfillment,
we can request cancellation, however, should your order/item(s) ship, simply REFUSE delivery, and when the merchandise
is returned to us a refund will be initiated.
You never pay sales tax! We are not required to collect sales and use tax on deliveries throughout the US, except where we have business locations and in those states we pay ALL sales taxes (California, Kansas and Maryland). For customers in these states, our price includes all applicable taxes.
To satisfy Maryland consumer reporting rules, we will show sales tax and an amount equal to the sales tax will be discounted from our regular low price. The order total will be the same as our regular low prices without tax.

At BoatersWorld.com, our Low Prices, Guarantee assures you that you are
getting a competitive, low price. If you find a price lower than ours on the
Internet, and you meet the eligibility requirements listed below, you may
qualify for a price match.
You may be eligible for a price-match refund if your request meets the
following conditions:
Our Low Prices, Guarantee is valid only for qualified Internet retailers.
Qualified internet retailers must be listed on the manufacturer's website.
The Internet retailer must have the identical product in-stock and the
product is priced accurately.
Price match requests must be submitted within three (3) days from the date
of purchase at BoatersWorld.com.
Our Low Prices, Guarantee is valid for only one price match per order and is limited to up to three (3) of the same product, shipped to the same address.
Our Low Prices, Guarantee is limited to a maximum of $100.00 per price match
request.
When requesting a price match, please be aware that prices will be compared
on the following criteria:
Prices are compared by item and include the product price, applicable taxes,
plus shipping & handling charges when calculating the competitor's total
price.
Our Low Prices, Guarantee does not apply when you use coupons, promotional
offers, or product-bundle pricing on the order.
Our Low Prices, Guarantee does not apply to non-USA Warranted products.
Our Low Prices, Guarantee excludes closeout specials, auction items,
clearance items, refurbished or used products, special orders, products subject
to a no return policy and incorrect pricing that is the result of a
typographical error or omission.
The Low Prices, Guarantee is subject to change at any time.
In determining a price match, BoatersWorld.com will apply the fair-market
price for bundled / kit items offered at no charge with purchase.
Apply for a Price Match
To apply for a price match, simply send a copy of your BoatersWorld.com
sales receipt or invoice as proof of purchase, the competitor's printed and
dated Internet ad with price circled and url address and company phone number
(so we can validate the price and that the product is in stock). Send to:
BoatersWorld.com
PO Box 19705
Irvine, CA 92623-9705
BoatersWorld.com is one of the largest dealers in marine products. In most cases we can
match the pricing submitted by a customer due to large buying power and the
low prices we receive from the manufacturers. However, when the request goes
below our cost we cannot honor it and the low pricing is usually the result
of one of the factors listed below:
Retailers selling gray market items, which are items that have been manufactured for overseas markets. These items can be purchased at very low prices but they do not carry the USA manufacturer warranty, instruction manuals are in a foreign language and the product may not have the same features.
Retailers that specialize in the sale of discontinued products or products that have been purchased in distressed or going out of business sales.
Retailers that do not follow manufacturer guidelines and/or are not authorized manufacturer resellers, which can result in the product not being under warranty and thus being sold at lower prices.
If you received a great price on an item and are comfortable with the company then we would encourage you to purchase the item from that retailer but beware of warranty issues, high shipping costs or required shipping insurance fees.

ELECTRONIC PRODUCT RETURN GUIDELINES
It is important to understand the standards that have been established within
the electronics industry regarding the terms and conditions of a sale. The standards
are as follows:
The purchases of computers, peripherals, software, and other consumer electronics
are subject to manufacturer restrictions that may be different from other product
purchases you have made. All computer, peripheral, software and consumer electronic
product returns require an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number, which
can be obtained by contacting our Customer Service department. These category
returns are subject to a restocking fee. Several manufacturers’ policies
and restrictions disallow product returns. Products from the following manufacturers
(not all inclusive) are not returnable to BoatersWorld.com: Adobe, 3Com, Compaq, IBM, Lenovo,
Intel, HP, Microsoft, Toshiba, Quark and Sony. The aforementioned list of manufacturers
is not a comprehensive list and may change from time to time. You will need
to contact these manufacturers directly regarding return or replacement of their
products in accordance with their respective guarantees and/or warranties.
Please save all packaging and accessories for any item that is to be returned.
All original equipment, components, manuals, cables, documents and packaging
must be returned with your item for your return to be accepted. All returns
are inspected prior to credit being given and a return may not be accepted or
additional restocking fees may apply if all items are not returned in a new
condition. An item returned for a replacement may be repaired or replaced at
the company’s discretion, unless otherwise required by law. Products with
specific refund and return policies and deadlines must be returned within the
time periods specified for each item. All items sold through our websites are
subject to our Privacy and Security Policy regarding use of the site and order
acceptance, which is located in our Help Section. Physically damaged items cannot
be returned.
You must also return the free gift in order to receive a full refund.
If you are unable to do so, the value of the free gift will be subtracted from
the purchase price of the item being returned. You will be refunded the difference.
The value of the free gift is based on the price it was regularly sold for on
the date of your original purchase.
Shipping charges
Original shipping charges are not refundable. Shipping charges on returned products
are the responsibility of the customer. BoatersWorld.com will match the shipping method and
pay for shipping charges on replacement or exchanged products. We strongly recommend
you fully insure your return shipment in case of loss or damage.
Standard Return Policy
Our Standard Return Policy covers all products, unless otherwise indicated.
Merchandise under our Standard Return Policy may be returned within 30 days
of the original invoice date for a refund or exchange with the exception of
all Digital, Video, Wireless Phone, DVD, CD and Video Game products
which must be returned within 10 days of the original invoice date for a refund
or exchange. All returns require an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) number.
Many manufacturers offer additional factory coverage; you should contact the
manufacturer of your item directly for information regarding eligibility and
specific terms and conditions.
Restocking Fee
A 25% restocking fee will be charged unless the item is defective, damaged,
you received the wrong item, or law prohibits the fee. A restocking fee of up
to 25% will be charged on special products as noted and an additional fee may
be charged for products returned as defective that test to be operational upon
return. Additionally, any return that has missing accessories or is incomplete
in packaging may be rejected or will be subject to an additional restock fee
to cover the price of the missing item.
Manufacturer's (End-User) Warranties
BoatersWorld.com does not offer any express warranties; however, many of the products are
covered by Manufacturers' Warranties. Manufacturers' warranty details are typically
available at the manufacturer's website; click here to see a list of the manufacturers
whose items we carry. Manufacturers' warranties can also be obtained for free
by contacting the manufacturer. Please note that products in this category are
non-refundable unless otherwise indicated.
Some products must be returned directly to the product manufacturer for repair
or replacement, unless otherwise required by law. For these items, the warranty
policy from the product manufacturer explicitly requires that any returns, repairs
etc. be requested and processed directly by the consumer (or "end-user")
of the item. More specific return policies are designated for the item categories
listed below.
RETURN POLICY FOR MANUFACTURER (END-USER) WARRANTY ITEMS:
CPUs
Refund period: 10 days from original invoice date.
Replacement period: 30 days from original invoice date.
Buyers requesting a refund will be charged a restocking fee of up to 25%.
Physically damaged CPUs cannot be returned, including physical damage due
to improper installation.
Tablet and Notebook PCs
Notebook/Tablet PCs are not returnable.
Consumable Items
Consumable items such as Printer Ink and Toner Cartridges, CD/DVD Media,
Paper Products etc. may only be returned if the product is unopened. Buyers
requesting a refund will be charged a restocking fee of up to 25%.
Software
Retail boxed software can only be returned for replacement if it is defective
or damaged. You may exchange defective software for an identical replacement
by contacting Customer Service and acquiring an RMA number. No software returns
will be accepted after 7-days. All OEM software including Operating Systems
is non-refundable once purchased and delivered. OEM versions are intended
for system builders only and cannot be transferred to another PC once it is
installed. Purchasers of this software are required to comply with the terms
of the System Builder License, including responsibility for providing all
end-user support. BoatersWorld.com is not responsible for system/software incompatibility,
and incompatibility issues do not qualify software as damaged or defective.
Customers are encouraged to contact the respective software publisher for
answers to technical questions, such as minimum system requirements, prior
to purchase.
Televisions
Televisions cannot be returned. You are urged to carefully examine the
box your television ships in before signing for the package. Upon delivery,
please inspect the exterior shipping box and the television carefully for
damage while the shipper is still present. If you discover any damage, please
refuse delivery and you will receive a refund of the purchase price, shipping
and handling fees, and sales taxes (if any). When you sign the carrier’s
delivery receipt and/or sign for the ‘white glove’ delivery service,
you are acknowledging and accepting the terms of this return policy and receipt
of your order. Should you observe any damage to the shipping box, or if the
wrong product was sent, you must refuse delivery while the shipping courier
is still on the premises.
If, after delivery, the television does not work, all returns, in-house
servicing (if applicable), and warranty repairs are handled exclusively by
the manufacturer. Televisions cannot be returned to BoatersWorld.com.
Manufacturer-Recertified Refurbished and Open-Box Items
BoatersWorld.com often sells items that are listed as "manufacturer recertified"
or "open-box." Because these items are sold at greatly reduced prices,
they bear a limited 10-day refund-only return policy. Accessories
MAY NOT BE INCLUDED with refurbished products, even if the missing accessory
was included in the original packaging. We cannot provide replacement service
for these items, as their stock is limited. The entire risk as to the quality
and performance of these items is with the buyer. These items have been tested
for functionality, but may have superficial physical defects including (but
not limited to) scratches, dings or dents. Should these items prove defective
following their purchase, the buyer (not the manufacturer, distributor, or
retailer) assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing or repairs, unless
otherwise required by law. These items are not covered by our 30-day satisfaction
guarantee.
ADDITIONAL RMA TERMS
Physical Damage Policy Physically damaged items cannot be returned.
Improper installation of CPU fans and/or improper clocking may cause CPUs to
chip. CPUs that are chipped, burnt or have bent/broken pins are considered physically
damaged and cannot be returned for refund or replacement. Physical damage includes
(but is not limited to) improper handling and any other type of damage sustained
by irregular use.
Forcing a processor into position will not solve an installation problem and
may void your return policy. If you return any physically damaged item, the
item will be returned to you at your expense.
DVD - CD - Video Games DVD’s, CD’s and Video Games are non-returnable and non-refundable,
but can be returned within 10 days of the invoice date for a replacement of
the same title if the item is defective. Items cannot be exchanged for a different
item or title.
LCD Dead-Pixel Policy BoatersWorld.com adheres to the 7 (seven) dead-pixel policy that is observed by
the majority of our manufacturers. In order to declare any product with an LCD
screen "defective" and eligible for replacement or refund through
our return policy, there must be a minimum of 7 (seven) dead LCD pixels.
Rebates/UPC Codes
Products offering mail-in rebates are not returnable once the rebates have been
filed. Be sure that the product is functional and that you intend to keep the
product before sending in for your rebate. Products missing UPC codes or serial
numbers from the box are NOT returnable, are non-refundable, and will be rejected.
Only the product manufacturer can replace any defective item missing the UPC
code.
Bundle Specials
Bundle Specials contain multiple items offered together at a discounted price.
Offers are valid only while supplies last. Purchasing multiple units of a Bundle
Special that feature a mail-in rebate may yield only one redeemable rebate offer
(per the manufacturer's "limit one per household" provision). If you
wish to return a Bundle Special for a refund, you must return the ENTIRE BUNDLE
within specified return period from the date of purchase. Note that a restocking
fee of up to 25% will be applied. Components within a Bundle Special may be
returned for replacement only. Individual items may only be returned for replacement
if an RMA number is acquired within the Standard Return period.
Please note: In some cases a bundle discount has been applied
to each item. You will be refunded the discounted price, which may differ from
the price if you purchased it individually.
Out of Stock or Back-ordered Items
You will be issued a refund, if you return an item for an exchange (if the product
qualifies for an exchange) after the product has been discontinued and we are
out of stock.
