Terms of Service

Last updated: January 25, 2026

This website is operated by Five Star Guitars (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing our website or purchasing from us, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”), including any policies referenced here or available elsewhere on our site.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access the website or use our services.

Our store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides the ecommerce platform that allows us to sell products and services.

1. Online Store Terms

By using this site, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you have given consent for any minor dependents to use this site.

You may not use our products or services for any illegal or unauthorized purpose, nor violate any applicable laws. You must not transmit viruses, malware, or any destructive code. A violation of these Terms may result in immediate termination of access to our services.

2. General Conditions

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.

Your content (excluding payment information) may be transferred unencrypted across networks to conform to technical requirements. Payment information is always encrypted during transmission.

You may not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, resell, or exploit any portion of the Service without our express written permission.

Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation.

3. Accuracy of Information

We are not responsible if information on this site is inaccurate, incomplete, or not current. Content is provided for general information only and should not be relied upon as the sole basis for decision-making.

We reserve the right to modify site content at any time without obligation to update information.

4. Modifications to the Service and Prices

Prices and availability of products or services are subject to change without notice.

We may modify or discontinue the Service (or any part of it) at any time without notice. We are not liable for any modification, suspension, or discontinuation.

5. Products and Services

Certain products or services may be available exclusively online and may have limited quantities. All sales are subject to our Return Policy.

We make reasonable efforts to display product images and descriptions accurately but cannot guarantee exact color representation or appearance on all devices.

We reserve the right to limit sales by person, region, or jurisdiction and to discontinue products at any time.

We do not guarantee that products or services will meet your expectations or that errors will be corrected; however, we will make reasonable, good-faith efforts to address and resolve issues when they arise.

6. Repair, Setup, and Custom Service Disclaimer

Repair services, custom setups, PLEK services, pickup installations, electronic modifications, and other instrument services involve permanent or semi-permanent alterations and are performed based on customer-provided information and instrument condition.

All repair and custom services are non-refundable once work has begun. We do not guarantee specific tonal results, playability preferences, or subjective outcomes.

Instruments may have pre-existing conditions not visible during intake. We are not responsible for failures due to structural issues, prior repairs, material fatigue, or manufacturer defects discovered during or after service.

Customers are responsible for verifying instrument condition and specifications before authorizing work. Shipping damage or carrier loss is governed by the carrier’s policies.

7. Billing and Account Information

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order. Restrictions may apply to orders using the same account, payment method, or address.

You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information and to update it promptly as needed.

For more information, please review our Return Policy.

8. Optional Tools and Third-Party Services

We may provide access to third-party tools or services “as is” and “as available” without warranties or endorsements. Use of such tools is at your own risk and subject to the third party’s terms.

New features or services added in the future will also be subject to these Terms.

9. Third-Party Links, Marketplaces, and Financing

Our site may contain links to third-party websites or services, including marketplaces and financing providers such as Reverb, Affirm, or similar platforms.

Purchases made through third-party marketplaces are subject to that platform’s terms, policies, fees, and dispute resolution processes. Financing approvals, payment schedules, and eligibility are determined solely by the third-party provider.

We are not responsible for third-party platform decisions, outages, errors, or policy enforcement. Please review their terms before completing transactions.

10. User Comments and Submissions

If you submit comments, ideas, feedback, or other materials, you grant us the right to use, edit, publish, and distribute them without restriction or compensation.

You agree your submissions will not violate any third-party rights or contain unlawful, abusive, or malicious material. You are solely responsible for your submissions.

11. Personal Information

Your submission of personal information through our store is governed by our Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to correct errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or cancel orders if information is inaccurate, including after an order is submitted.

You are prohibited from using the site or its content for unlawful purposes, violating laws or intellectual property rights, harassing or discriminating against others, submitting false information, scraping or data harvesting, transmitting malware, or interfering with site security.

We may terminate access for violating prohibited uses.

14. Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability

The Service and all products and services are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Five Star Guitars shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Service, products, or repair services.

Some jurisdictions do not allow limitations of liability, so limitations may not apply to you.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Five Star Guitars and its affiliates, officers, employees, and service providers from any claim arising from your breach of these Terms or violation of law.

16. Severability

These Terms remain effective unless terminated by you or us. We may terminate access at any time if you fail to comply with these Terms.

Obligations incurred prior to termination survive termination.

We shall not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, fire, flood, severe weather, labor disputes, supply chain disruptions, transportation delays, power or internet outages, governmental actions, or failures of third-party service providers or carriers.

19. Binding Arbitration and Venue

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, your use of the website, or any products or services purchased shall be resolved through binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that either party may bring claims in small claims court if eligible.

Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with applicable arbitration rules, and the venue for arbitration shall be Washington County, Oregon.

You agree to waive any right to participate in class actions or class-wide arbitration to the fullest extent permitted by law.
