Terms of Use

Effective date: August 1, 2026
Last updated: August 1, 2026

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], doing business as Buy Tactical Treasures (“Buy Tactical Treasures”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). They govern your use of buytacticaltreasures.com (the “Site”) and every quote, custom order, and purchase you place with us.

By using the Site or placing an order, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the Site.

Please read Section 16, Dispute Resolution. It requires most disputes to be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis and limits the remedies available to you.

1. Who May Use the Site

You must be at least eighteen years old, or the age of majority in your state, and able to enter a binding contract. If you order on behalf of a unit, a command, a ball committee, an association, a nonprofit, or any other organization, you confirm that you are authorized to bind that organization and that these Terms apply to it as well.

2. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these Terms at any time. The effective date at the top shows the current version. Changes apply to orders placed after they are posted. The Terms in force when you approved your order continue to govern that order. Continuing to use the Site after a revision means you accept it.

3. Your Account

If you create an account, keep your credentials confidential and give us accurate information. You are responsible for activity under your account. Tell us immediately if you suspect unauthorized use. We may suspend or close an account that violates these Terms, that we reasonably believe is fraudulent, or that has been inactive for an extended period.

4. Acceptable Use

You may browse the Site, place orders, and use our content for your own reference. You may not:

• Copy, scrape, mirror, or republish Site content, product photography, or product descriptions for commercial use.
• Use automated tools to place orders, harvest data, or overload the Site.
• Submit false, misleading, or fraudulent information, including false unit affiliation or false authorization to use an emblem.
• Resell our products in a way that misrepresents them as your own manufacture, unless we have agreed to that in writing.
• Interfere with the Site, probe it for vulnerabilities, or upload malicious code.
• Use the Site to infringe anyone’s intellectual property, to harass, or to break the law.

We may refuse service, cancel orders, and restrict access if you breach this section.

5. Our Intellectual Property

The Site, its design, text, graphics, product photography, and the Buy Tactical Treasures name and logo are owned by us or licensed to us and protected by United States and international law. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership to you. Custom designs we create for you are covered separately in Section 7.

6. Artwork You Send Us

Custom work depends on what you send us. This section is the most important part of these Terms for a unit order.

6.1 Your Warranties

By submitting a logo, emblem, insignia, photograph, motto, design, or name list, you represent and warrant that:

• You own it, or you hold every license, permission, and authorization needed to reproduce it on merchandise.
• Its use does not infringe any copyright, trademark, right of publicity, or other right.
• You have authority to submit any name list or roster you send us, and to have those names reproduced on the items ordered.

6.2 License to Us

You grant us a non exclusive, royalty free license to reproduce, modify for production, and use your artwork for the purpose of quoting, proofing, manufacturing, packaging, and delivering your order. We may photograph finished work and show it in our portfolio, on the Site, and on social media, unless you tell us in writing before production begins that you do not want your order shown.

6.3 Military Insignia, Emblems, and Trademarks

Marks including the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor, the words MARINE CORPS and MARINES, service seals, unit crests, and official emblems of the Armed Forces are protected and are administered by the trademark licensing offices of the individual services. Reproducing them on merchandise generally requires authorization.

• You are responsible for confirming that your unit or organization has the authorization required for the artwork you submit, and for providing evidence of it if we ask.
• We may request written approval from a command, a licensing office, or a rights holder before starting production.
• We may decline or cancel any order where authorization is unclear, and we may stop production if a rights holder objects.
• Nothing on the Site is legal advice about trademark use, and we do not represent that any particular design is cleared for use.

6.4 Content We Will Not Produce

We may refuse artwork that is unlawful, hateful, obscene, defamatory, that appears to reproduce classified or operationally sensitive material, or that we judge inconsistent with the respect this work is meant to carry. Refusal is at our discretion and is not a breach of these Terms.

6.5 Indemnity for Artwork

You will defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless against any claim, loss, or expense, including reasonable attorney fees, arising from artwork or content you supply, including claims of infringement or unauthorized use of an emblem or insignia.

7. Designs We Create

Where we create or substantially develop a design for you, we retain ownership of our preliminary concepts, sketches, and production files. On full payment you receive the right to use the finished design for the items ordered and for reorders placed with us. Transfer of full ownership of a design is possible and has to be agreed in writing before production. Production files, dies, and molds remain our property and are not released.

8. Products, Descriptions, and Pricing

• Appearance. Colors on your screen will not match physical products exactly. Metal plating, enamel fills, dye lots, and fabric shades vary slightly between production runs. Reasonable variation is not a defect.
• Availability. Products and options may change or sell out without notice.
• Pricing errors. If a price, quantity break, or product description is listed in error, we may correct it, cancel the affected order, and refund you in full, even after the order is confirmed.
• Taxes. Prices exclude sales tax unless stated. Tax is calculated at checkout based on the shipping destination. Tax exempt organizations must supply valid documentation before the order is invoiced.

9. Quotes and Custom Orders

Custom production follows a fixed sequence, and each stage carries obligations for both sides.

1. Quote. Written quotes are valid for [QUOTE VALIDITY, COMMONLY 30 DAYS] and assume the quantity, materials, decoration method, and delivery date quoted. Changing any of these changes the price.
2. Deposit. Custom orders require [DEPOSIT TERMS, FOR EXAMPLE 50 PERCENT] before artwork production begins, with the balance due before shipment, unless we have agreed other terms in writing.
3. Proof approval. We send a digital proof. Production does not begin until you approve it in writing. Your approval is final for spelling, names, ranks, dates, unit designations, and layout. Errors present in an approved proof are your responsibility, and a corrected run is a new order at full price. Check every name and every date before approving.
4. Changes after approval. Changes requested after approval may be refused, or may carry additional charges and a new lead time.
5. Quantity. Minimum quantities apply to most custom items and are stated on the quote. Some production methods carry an accepted variance of [OVERRUN AND UNDERRUN TOLERANCE] on the final count, and you are billed for the quantity delivered.

10. Lead Times and Event Dates

Lead times quoted are estimates that begin at written proof approval and cleared payment of the deposit, not at the date of inquiry.

If your order is tied to a Marine Corps Ball, a retirement, a change of command, a promotion, a deployment, or a reunion, tell us the in hands date before you order, in writing. We will confirm whether it is achievable and whether rush production or expedited freight is required, at additional cost. We will work to meet a confirmed in hands date, but we do not guarantee delivery on a specific day, because production and carrier transit are partly outside our control. Section 15 limits our liability if a date is missed.

11. Orders, Payment, and Cancellation

• Your order is an offer to buy. A contract forms when we confirm it, and for custom work when the proof is approved.
• We may decline or cancel any order, including for suspected fraud, artwork authorization problems, pricing errors, or stock issues. If we cancel, we refund what you have paid.
• Payment methods accepted are shown at checkout. Government and organizational purchase orders and net terms are available by prior arrangement only.
• Cancellation by you. Stock items may be cancelled before shipment. Custom orders may be cancelled before proof approval, subject to any art or setup charges already incurred. After proof approval, custom orders cannot be cancelled, because production and tooling have started.
• Chargebacks. Raise any problem with us first. Filing a chargeback on delivered custom work made to an approved proof is a breach of these Terms, and we may recover our costs of responding to it.

12. Shipping and Delivery

We ship within the United States, including to APO and FPO addresses. Delivery estimates are not guarantees. Title and risk of loss pass to you when we hand the shipment to the carrier. Delays caused by the carrier, weather, customs, military mail routing, or an incorrect address you supplied are outside our control. You are responsible for supplying a complete, correct address, and reshipment of a package returned as undeliverable is chargeable. Full details are on our shipping page.

13. Returns and Defects

• Custom and personalized items are final sale. They cannot be resold, so they are not returnable for change of mind, wrong size ordered, or an error present in an approved proof.
• Manufacturing defects and order errors on our side are covered. Inspect your shipment on arrival and report any problem within [DEFECT CLAIM WINDOW, COMMONLY 14 DAYS] of delivery, with photographs and your order number. We will replace, remake, or refund the affected items at our option.
• Non personalized stock items may be returned unused and in original packaging within [RETURN WINDOW, COMMONLY 30 DAYS]. Return shipping is your responsibility unless the return is our error.
• Our full process is on the returns page, which forms part of these Terms.

14. Unit Orders and Fundraisers

For unit runs, ball orders, and fundraisers we work with one named point of contact. That person is responsible for collecting sizes and name lists, for confirming their accuracy, for approving the proof, and for payment. We are not responsible for how funds are collected or distributed within your organization, for how items are allocated among your members, or for disagreements inside a committee. Approval by your point of contact binds the organization.

15. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

THE SITE AND ALL PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST FUNDRAISING PROCEEDS, OR THE COST OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, ARISING FROM THESE TERMS, THE SITE, OR ANY ORDER, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY. THIS INCLUDES DAMAGES ARISING FROM A DELIVERY THAT ARRIVES AFTER AN EVENT.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE ORDER GIVING RISE TO IT.

Some states do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

16. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

Talk to us first. Before starting any formal proceeding, contact us at contact@buytacticaltreasures.com and give us thirty days to resolve the issue. Most problems are solved at this stage.

Binding arbitration. If we cannot resolve it, you and we agree that any dispute arising out of these Terms, the Site, or any order will be resolved by binding individual arbitration administered by [ARBITRATION PROVIDER] under its consumer rules, in San Diego County, California, or by remote hearing. The Federal Arbitration Act governs this section.

Class action waiver. Disputes will be brought only in an individual capacity. You and we waive any right to participate in a class, collective, or representative action.

Exceptions. Either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property.

Your right to opt out. You may reject this arbitration agreement by emailing us within thirty days of your first order, with your name and order number and a statement that you opt out of arbitration. Opting out does not affect any other part of these Terms.

17. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law rules. Where Section 16 does not apply, the state and federal courts located in San Diego County, California have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to that venue.

18. Copyright Complaints

If you believe material on the Site infringes your copyright, send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to our designated agent at [DMCA AGENT NAME AND ADDRESS], including identification of the work, the location of the material, your contact details, a statement of good faith belief, a statement of accuracy under penalty of perjury, and your signature. We remove infringing material and terminate repeat infringers.

19. Indemnification

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Buy Tactical Treasures, its owners, employees, and production partners from any claim, damage, loss, or expense, including reasonable attorney fees, arising from your use of the Site, your breach of these Terms, or content you submit to us.

20. Force Majeure

We are not liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, fire, war, civil unrest, labor disputes, epidemics, government action, carrier failure, deployment related disruption, material shortages, or utility and network outages.

21. General

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, shipping page, and returns page, and any written quote or order confirmation, are the whole agreement between us.
• Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
• No waiver. Not enforcing a provision once does not waive it.
• Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in connection with a sale or reorganization of the business.
• Electronic communications. You consent to receive contracts, notices, proofs, and records electronically, and agree that electronic approvals and signatures are binding.
• Headings are for convenience and do not affect interpretation.
