Return Policy – Outboard Motor Shop TL
1. Introduction
At Outboard Motor Shop TL, we value customer satisfaction and strive to provide high-quality outboard engines—both brand new and second-hand—to buyers worldwide. We understand that purchasing an outboard motor is an investment, and we want to ensure that our customers have peace of mind when making a purchase. That’s why we have established a comprehensive return policy to address potential concerns and provide a transparent and fair resolution process.
Our return policy outlines the terms and conditions under which returns, exchanges, and refunds are accepted. We encourage our customers to read this policy thoroughly to understand their rights and responsibilities regarding product returns.
2. General Return Eligibility
Returns are accepted under specific conditions to protect both the customer and our business. Below are the scenarios in which returns are eligible:
2.1 Eligible Returns
We accept returns under the following conditions:
- The product is defective or damaged upon arrival.
- The product does not match the description provided on our website or at the time of purchase.
- The customer received the wrong item due to an error on our part.
- A second-hand outboard engine is found to have undisclosed major issues affecting its functionality.
2.2 Non-Eligible Returns
Certain items cannot be returned due to their condition or usage history. These include:
- Outboard engines that have been modified, tampered with, misused, or damaged due to improper handling after delivery.
- Any product that has exceeded the warranty period (see Section 3).
- Engines purchased under “as-is” or “final sale” conditions.
- Items exhibiting normal wear and tear from usage over time.
3. Warranty and Return Window
3.1 Warranty Terms
We offer warranties for both brand new and second-hand outboard motors:

- For customers outside the USA: A 120-day warranty is provided from the date of delivery.
Our warranty covers defects in materials or workmanship that may affect the normal functioning of the outboard engine. However, warranty claims do not cover misuse, improper installation, accidents, or unauthorized modifications.
