9. Boat Marketplace — Listing and Advertising Terms

Mariners Warehouse Boat Marketplace is an advertising and inquiry-based service that allows eligible users to submit boats for review and advertise approved boats for sale on the Mariners Warehouse website.

These additional provisions apply specifically to Boat Marketplace activities and supplement the general Terms of Service above.

9.1 Customer Accounts and Eligibility

Customers must use their existing Mariners Warehouse customer accounts to access the boat-listing submission and management features.

Customers submitting boat advertisements must provide accurate information and comply with applicable laws and marketplace requirements.

Mariners Warehouse may require additional information to verify a seller's identity, authority to list a boat, or eligibility for marketplace services.

9.2 Boat Listings and Seller Responsibilities

Sellers are responsible for ensuring that information submitted about their boats is accurate, current, and lawful.

This includes, where applicable:

  • Boat make, model, year, and specifications.

  • Asking price and location.

  • Ownership or authority to advertise the boat.

  • Condition and any known material defects.

  • Photographs and descriptions.

  • Availability and sale status.

Sellers must have the necessary rights to submit all photographs, descriptions, and other content associated with their listings.

By submitting listing content, sellers grant Mariners Warehouse a non-exclusive license to display, reproduce, format, and promote that content in connection with the marketplace and related marketing channels, subject to applicable law and privacy requirements.

Authorized boat-listing submissions and their permitted promotion are expressly allowed under these marketplace terms and do not violate the general website-material use restrictions in Section 2.

9.3 Listing Review and Approval

All boat-listing submissions are subject to administrative review by Mariners Warehouse.

Mariners Warehouse may:

  • Approve an eligible listing.

  • Request corrections or additional information.

  • Reject a submission that does not meet marketplace requirements.

  • Remove or suspend a listing that violates applicable terms or laws.

Submitting boat information does not guarantee approval or publication.

Listings must satisfy applicable approval and payment or membership-eligibility requirements before becoming publicly available.

9.4 Standard Listing Fees and Duration

The standard boat-listing advertising fee is $19 USD per boat for a 90-day advertising period.

The standard listing period begins when the approved advertisement is first published.

The applicable fee, any required taxes, and the service terms will be disclosed before the customer completes payment.

Boat-listing fees are payments for advertising services and do not represent payment toward purchasing the advertised boat.

9.5 Captains Club Membership Benefits

Customers with an eligible, active Captains Club membership may qualify for complimentary boat listings under their applicable membership benefits.

Membership eligibility must be verified by Mariners Warehouse.

Complimentary listing allowances, applicable durations, and other membership benefits are governed by the membership terms available to the customer.

Mariners Warehouse will maintain records of applicable fee waivers and eligibility decisions.

9.6 Listing Expiration and Renewals

Standard boat listings are scheduled to expire 90 days after their initial publication date unless removed earlier under the applicable marketplace rules.

Renewals may be offered for eligible listings.

If renewals are available, the applicable fee, duration, and conditions will be disclosed to the seller before authorization and payment.

A seller's renewal request may be subject to updated listing information, continued eligibility, and administrative review.

No renewal charge will be made without the customer's authorization.

9.7 Inquiry-Only Boat Transactions

Boat Marketplace advertisements are intended to connect potential buyers with boat sellers through an inquiry-based process.

Customers cannot purchase advertised boats through the ordinary Mariners Warehouse Shopify checkout.

Buyers and sellers are responsible for arranging and confirming any transactions, including, as applicable:

  • Boat inspections and condition verification.

  • Price negotiations.

  • Purchase agreements.

  • Ownership and title documentation.

  • Payment arrangements.

  • Transportation and delivery.

Unless Mariners Warehouse expressly agrees otherwise in writing, its marketplace advertising service does not include collecting the purchase price of an advertised boat, transferring boat ownership, or guaranteeing completion of a transaction.

9.8 Buyer Inquiries and Seller Communication

Interested buyers may submit inquiries using the marketplace's designated communication features.

Users must provide accurate contact information and must not use marketplace communication features for spam, fraudulent offers, harassment, or unlawful activities.

Mariners Warehouse may review or restrict marketplace communications as permitted by applicable law and its Privacy Policy.

Personal information must be handled according to the Mariners Warehouse Privacy Policy and applicable privacy requirements.

9.9 Sold, Withdrawn, or Unavailable Boats

Sellers must update their listings when a boat is sold, withdrawn, or no longer available.

Mariners Warehouse may remove or stop promoting advertisements that are expired, sold, withdrawn, inaccurate, or otherwise ineligible.

Publication of a boat listing does not guarantee that the boat remains available when an inquiry is submitted.

9.10 Cancellations and Listing-Service Refunds

Boat Marketplace advertising services are subject to the listing-service provisions in the Mariners Warehouse Return and Refund Policy.

Physical merchandise return procedures, including package returns and merchandise restocking fees, do not apply to boat-listing advertising services.

Refund eligibility depends on the status of the purchased service, the applicable marketplace terms, and any rights provided by law.

9.11 Prohibited Marketplace Activities

Users must not:

  • Submit fraudulent, misleading, or knowingly inaccurate listings.

  • Advertise boats they do not own or lack authority to sell.

  • Upload content that infringes another person's rights.

  • Impersonate another seller or customer.

  • Attempt unauthorized access to another customer's account or listing.

  • Use the marketplace for spam, scams, or other unlawful activities.

Mariners Warehouse may take appropriate moderation actions when these requirements are violated.

9.12 Relationship to Existing Mariners Warehouse Policies

These Boat Marketplace terms supplement the existing Mariners Warehouse Terms of Service, Return and Refund Policy, and Privacy Policy.

Regular merchandise purchases continue to be governed by the applicable Mariners Warehouse shopping, checkout, shipping, and return conditions.

Any marketplace-specific provisions will apply to boat advertising services to the extent they address matters not covered by the general store policies.

Nothing in these terms excludes rights or remedies that cannot legally be excluded.
