All content included on the Sites, including text, graphics, logos, images, audio clips, data compilations, software, as well as the compilation of the website content, is our property or that of our suppliers, and protected by United States and international copyright laws. Except as otherwise expressly provided in writing or under applicable law, such content may not be copied, transmitted, displayed, performed, distributed (for compensation or otherwise), licensed, altered, framed, stored for subsequent use or otherwise used in whole or in part in any manner without our express written permission. Our graphics, pictures, logos, page headers, button icons, scripts, and service names are trademarks, or trade dress, of ours in the United States and/or other countries. You agree not to use these trademarks and trade dress in any manner prohibited by law or prohibited by us, including but not limited to any manner likely to cause confusion among customers or to disparage or discredit us. There may be other trademarks we do not own appearing on the Sites. Those trademarks are the property of their respective owners, who may or may not be affiliated with us.
Please refer to our Copyright Policy if you believe that your copyrighted material has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement.
7. License and site access
We grant you a limited license to use the Sites for personal and non-commercial use only. You may not copy or reproduce the Sites, or any portion of them, without our express written consent. In addition, we grant you a limited, revocable, and nonexclusive right to create a hyperlink to any of the Sites, so long as the link does not portray us in a misleading, derogatory, false, or otherwise offensive manner.
8. Site warranties disclaimer
To the full extent permissible by applicable law, we (Punisher Skateboards and its affiliates) disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The sites and all information, content, materials, products (including software, mobile applications, and affiliated websites) and services included on or otherwise made available to you through the sites are provided by us on an “as is” and “as available” basis, unless otherwise specified in writing. We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, as to the operation of this site or the information, content, materials, products (including software, mobile applications, and affiliated websites) or services included on or otherwise made available to you through the sites, unless otherwise specified in writing. You expressly agree that your use of the sites is at your sole risk. We do not warrant that the sites, information, content, materials, products (including software, mobile applications, and affiliated websites), or services included on or otherwise made available to you through the sites, our servers, or electronic communications sent from us are free of viruses or other harmful components.
Certain state laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties, so some or all of the above disclaimers may not apply to you, and you might have additional rights.
9. Limitation of liability
You agree that we will not be liable for any damages of any kind, under any legal theory, arising from or in connection with the use of the sites or from any information, content, materials, products (including software) or services included on or otherwise made available to you through the sites, including, but not limited to direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, and consequential damages (including damages from loss of business, lost profits, litigation, or the like), even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Your sole and exclusive remedy for dissatisfaction with the sites, any product, and/or content is to cease your use of the sites and/or product and request a refund of amounts paid to us, subject to compliance with the refund policy.
10. Your account
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. We reserve the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel orders in our sole discretion. If you are under 18, you may not use or access the Sites without the involvement of a parent or guardian over the age of 18.
11. Security
The Internet, being an open network, is not secure. If you choose to send us electronic communications via the Sites (whether by means of email or posted messages on the Sites), you recognize the inherent risk of such an open network. You agree that we do not, and cannot, guarantee that such communications will not be intercepted or changed or that they will reach the intended recipient safely. However, when we request that you provide us with Personal Information (as defined in our Privacy Policy), including credit card information, to complete a transaction or survey, or enter a contest, we use commercially reasonable security measures meeting industry standards to protect that information. Credit card information should only be provided through our check-out procedure which uses encryption technologies to provide secure on-line transactions.
12. Product orders and acceptance
By confirming your purchase at the end of the checkout process, you agree to accept and pay for the purchased product(s), and you warrant and represent that (1) you are the actual individual consumer who is purchasing the skateboard or accessory for your own account and use, with full intent that you and/or your family member(s) will be its actual users; (2) you do not intend to resell, distribute or export the product for commercial purposes or otherwise receive a fee, price differential or other compensation for purchasing or recommending the purchase of the product to any third party; and (3) you are not acting as a buyer or agent for any third party. All billing information provided must be truthful, accurate, and in your own name. Providing any untruthful or inaccurate information, or making a purchase for or in the name of another, constitutes a breach of these Terms and may result in cancellation of your order. We may also request additional information from you prior to accepting an order. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order for any reason, including, but not limited to, limitations on quantities available for purchase, inaccuracies or errors in product or pricing information, problems identified with your payment or billing information, or potential fraud. If your order is canceled after your credit card or other payment account has been charged, we will issue a credit to your credit card or other applicable payment account in the amount of the charge. We will contact you if all or any portion of your order is canceled or if additional information is required to accept your order. We may request a pre-authorization for some orders placed online with a credit or debit card. This pre-authorization will not be billed to you; however, your card issuer may hold this amount for a short period. Your card issuer determines the length of time the pre-authorization is held. We reserve the right to limit the quantity of items purchased per person, per household, or per order for any reason. These restrictions may apply to orders placed by the same account, the same credit card, or to orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. We will notify you if we apply any such limit to all or any part of your order.
13. Risk of loss, shipments, export laws, returns, refunds and title
The risk of loss and title for purchased items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier. Except as otherwise expressly provided in writing, we will ship product orders through a carrier chosen by us. Any shipping and handling charges which are imposed may reflect estimated or average amounts required to cover the cost of shipping and handling and may not reflect the actual shipping and handling costs incurred for the specific order. If you request that we ship an item to a country outside the U.S. (a “Foreign Shipment”), you acknowledge and agree that those shipments may be subject to taxes, customs duties, and fees levied by the destination country (“Import Levies”).
The recipient of the shipment is the importer of record in the destination country and is responsible for all import levies. You further agree to comply at all times with all applicable laws and regulations, including the laws and regulations of the United States, regarding export and re-export. You therefore represent, warrant and agree that you will not export or re-export any product to any destination, person, or entity prohibited or restricted under United States law. We do not take title to returned items until the item arrives at our fulfillment center. At our discretion, a refund may be issued without requiring a return. In this situation, we do not take title to the refunded item. For more information about our returns and refunds, please see our Return Policy.
14. Pricing, product descriptions, and resellers
We make every effort to ensure that the price of each item listed for sale is accurate, and that its products are described accurately. However, a small number of items may at times be mispriced due to administrative or other error. In the event of a pricing error, you agree that we shall have no obligation to fulfill the order, and will, at our sole discretion, either contact you to determine whether you would like to proceed with the order at the correct price, or cancel your order and notify you of such cancellation. We do not warrant that product descriptions or pricing is accurate, or error-free. If a product offered by us is not as described, your sole remedy is to return it in unused condition. In addition, if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you are a reseller, commercial entity, buying service, marketplace, middleman, drop shipper, distributor, exporter, professional shopper, curator or similar organization, that you are purchasing for or on behalf of someone else, or that you intend to receive a fee, price differential or other form of consideration as a result of your purchase for another party, we reserve the right to refuse or cancel your order.
15. Order confirmation
You may receive an email that contains information regarding the details of your order after you have successfully placed an order through the Sites. The order confirmation email is your receipt that can be printed for your records. Although we make every reasonable effort to fulfill orders placed through the Sites, the receipt of an order confirmation does not constitute acceptance of an order or a confirmation of an offer to sell.
16. Press releases and promotion materials
All press releases and other promotional materials are only current on their original date, unless otherwise stated. These materials were, to the best of our knowledge, timely and accurate when issued. However, you should not rely on the continued accuracy of any such material beyond the date of issuance.
17. Product warranties
Punisher Skateboards offers a Limited Warranty and a refund policy for products purchased directly from Punisher Skateboards by legitimate consumers who have purchased the product in their own name and for their own use in compliance with our Terms and Conditions. For more information, please see our Limited Warranty.
The express limited warranties as stated in this document and in the Punisher Skateboards Limited Warranty, as limited by these Terms and Conditions, provide the sole and exclusive remedy in lieu of all other rights and remedies, including but not limited to implied warranties such as implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, as well as any contract rights, tort, negligence, strict liability, and other remedies expressed or implied at law or in equity, and in no event shall Punisher Skateboards be liable for special, indirect, incidental, economic or consequential damages, loss or damage to property other than the product itself, loss of use of property, loss of profits, business interruption, punitive damages, contribution, indemnification, or other losses, whatever the cause, including the fault or negligence of Punisher Skateboards. If any implied warranty or other right or remedy is deemed to exist in addition to this Limited Warranty, its duration shall be no longer than the stated Warranty Period. If any part of this Limited Warranty is deemed to be not legal or enforceable, the remainder shall be given full force and effect. Some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from State to State.
There is no warranty of any kind, either express or implied, on free goods or incentive awards.
18. Our right to amend and remove policies
We reserve the right to modify, amend or delete any policy posted on the Sites at any time or for any reason. Your continued use of the Sites following the effective date of any such modification, amendment, or deletion of any policy constitutes your consent and acknowledgement to such modification, amendment or deletion. If a court deems any policy or provision void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions and policies shall remain valid and enforceable.
Copyright Policy
We prohibit copyright infringement by users of our Sites, and will remove or disable access to any User Content that infringes any copyright, if we are properly notified or otherwise determine that the submission is or may be infringing. Without limiting any other rights that we may have, we reserve the right to remove or disable access to any allegedly infringing User Content without notice.
Any copyright owner or its authorized agent who believes that any content on the Sites infringes such owner’s copyright may submit notification to us pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), see 17 U.S.C. § 512. The notification must contain the following: (1) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or its authorized agent, (2) an identification of the copyrighted work allegedly infringed, (3) identification of the content that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate the content, (4) contact information for the copyright owner or its authorized agent, including address, telephone number, and (if available) an email address, (5) a statement by the copyright owner or its authorized agent that he/she has a good faith belief that the content is not authorized by the copyright owner, its authorized agent, or the law, and (6) a statement that the information contained in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the person submitting the notification is authorized to act by the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed. If we receive a proper notification, we will remove or disable access to the User Content (or allegedly infringing portion thereof) as required by the DMCA “safe harbor” provision, 17 U.S.C. § 512(c).
We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

Sales Tax Policy
Punisher Skateboards collects sales tax for certain items shipped to various states.
The amount of tax charged on your order will depend on the type of item purchased and the destination of the shipment. Certain items may be exempt from sales tax, depending on state and local laws. The sales tax actually charged will be calculated when your order is shipped and will reflect applicable state and local taxes. Factors can sometimes change between the time you place an order and the time of credit card settlement, which could affect the calculation of sales tax. The sales tax amount applied to your order during the checkout process is our best estimate and may differ from the amount ultimately charged. If an item is subject to sales tax in the state to which the order is shipped, tax is generally calculated on the total selling price of each individual item, which can include shipping and handling fees.
If you have questions about the tax applied to your purchase, please contact our Customer Service directly.

Warranty Returns
2811 Brodhead Rd.
Bethlehem, PA 18020
Punisher Skateboards reserves the right to repair or replace them with the relevant successor model. In the event it is necessary to change a part we will replace them in the original color subject to availability. Should the original color no longer be available, it may be that there are deviations from the original color.
Punisher Skateboards limited warranty does not cover damage caused by crashes, misuse or neglect, including use in a usage category higher than the stated category for your skateboard, as indicated and discussed on our website and in your owner’s manual.
Other examples of non-covered events include but are not limited to the following:
• neglect of product (lack of care and maintenance);
• modifications (for example, engravings or lacquering);
• mounting and alteration of additional components that were not expressly approved by us or replacement of our original components by components that do not have a similar quality;
• crashes;
• excessive load;
• jumps or other types of overstress; or
• excessive loads of any other kind.
Note on wear
Normal wear and tear is not covered by warranty. Some components of your product are expected to wear and must be replaced regularly as a part of their normal function. The rate of wear depends on care and maintenance as well as on the way you use your skateboard (distance travelled, terrain types, skateboarding in the rain, dirt, salt etc.). Skateboards that are often left in the open may also be subject to increased wear through weathering.
All skateboard components require regular care and maintenance, as described in your owner’s manual. Sooner or later all parts of your skateboard will reach the end of their service life, depending on conditions and intensity of use.
Parts that have reached their limit of wear must be replaced, and certain parts are not covered by the limited warranty even if they wear out during the Warranty Period. This applies to the following parts:
Signs of deformation or fine cracks that appear in the indication that the rim has reached the end of its service life. In this case, the rim must be replaced.
We wish you safe and happy riding wherever your skateboard takes you. If you have any questions, please call our service hotline or send us an email.
