Terms of Service

1.Agreement to These Terms

These Terms of Use (also called Terms of Service, or "Terms") are an agreement between you and Forest Lake Auto Truck & Trailer Sales, doing business as Ice Castle USA ("we," "us," "our"). They govern your use of www.icecastleusa.com (the "Site") and, together with any signed purchase agreement or order, your purchase of Ice Castle fish houses, RV Edition units, toy haulers, trailers, parts and accessories and related services from us.

By using the Site, submitting a form, or buying from us, you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Site. You must be at least 18 years old and able to form a binding contract. A signed purchase agreement or order form controls over these Terms if they conflict.

Accept Essential Only and Accept All control optional tracking preferences, not purchase terms. Agreement to these Terms does not authorize optional analytics, targeted advertising, or marketing calls, texts or emails. Those require your separate choice or consent where applicable. You can decline optional tracking without losing access to inventory, inquiries or purchasing opportunities, and change your choice through Privacy & Cookie Settings in the footer.

2.Using the Site

• Use the Site only for lawful, personal or business-purchasing purposes and in line with these Terms.
• Do not scrape, copy or republish our inventory, photos, pricing or content in bulk, use bots or automated tools without permission, probe or test the Site's security, introduce malware, or interfere with how the Site works.
• Provide accurate information in forms. Do not submit information about another person without their permission.
• We may suspend or block access at any time, including for suspected misuse.

The Site, its text, graphics, logos, photographs and software are owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual property laws. We give you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to view the Site for your own use. Third-party trademarks belong to their owners and do not imply endorsement.

3.Listings, Pricing and Availability

• Inventory, prices, specifications, photos and equipment shown on the Site are provided for information only and may contain errors, omissions or be out of date. A unit shown may have been sold, may be pending sale, or may differ from the photos (for example in color, options, decor or accessories).
• Advertised prices do not include sales tax, title, registration and license fees, dealer documentary fees, delivery charges or other government fees unless stated.
• We may correct pricing or listing errors at any time, including after you submit an inquiry or order, and may decline a sale at an obvious error.
• Specifications come from manufacturers, auction and data providers and our staff. Please verify details that matter to you in person before buying.
• Nothing on the Site is an offer that can be accepted to form a contract. A sale occurs only when you and an authorized representative of ours sign a purchase agreement and any required deposit or payment is received.

4.Financing and Payment Estimates

Financing is available on approved credit (O.A.C.) from independent lenders. We do not guarantee that any applicant will be approved or receive any particular rate, term or down payment. Credit decisions, the annual percentage rate, finance charges and other loan terms are set by the lender and disclosed in your finance contract.

Calculators, sample rates and monthly payment figures on the Site are illustrations only. They are not offers of credit, a commitment to lend, or a quote. Your actual payment will vary with your credit, price, taxes and fees, down payment, trade-in, rate and term. Applications for credit are submitted to a third-party lender gateway under that lender's terms and privacy policy.

5.Sales, Used Units and Warranty Disclaimers

• Used units: unless a written warranty is stated in your purchase documents, used units are sold "AS IS - NO DEALER WARRANTY" as shown on the Buyers Guide or purchase agreement, and you take on the entire cost of any needed repair after the sale.
• New units: new units carry only the manufacturer's written limited warranty, if any. We are not the warrantor. Ask for a copy before you buy. Warranty work is handled through the manufacturer's process.
• Inspection: you are encouraged to inspect the unit, take a test drive or walk-through, and have it inspected by a mechanic or technician of your choice before purchase.
• Statutory rights: nothing in these Terms limits warranty or other rights that federal or Minnesota law gives you and that cannot be waived, including any statutory used-vehicle warranty or disclosure rights that apply to your purchase. Those are described in your purchase documents.

EXCEPT FOR WRITTEN WARRANTIES WE SIGN OR WARRANTIES THE LAW DOES NOT ALLOW US TO DISCLAIM, WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ABOUT UNITS OR PARTS WE SELL, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY OF CONDITION, MILEAGE OR HISTORY BASED ON THE SITE OR THIRD-PARTY REPORTS.

6.Custom Orders, Deposits and Lead Times

• A custom order is built to your specification and is not a stock item. We will confirm the specification, price and deposit in writing before an order is placed with the manufacturer.
• Deposits are refundable only until the manufacturer begins production or the order is released for build. After that point, deposits and custom-order items are non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise or we agree in writing.
• Build and delivery dates are estimates. Manufacturer, supplier, freight and weather delays can happen, and we are not liable for delays outside our control.
• The manufacturer may change materials, components, options or pricing. We will tell you about material changes and give you a reasonable chance to accept them or cancel before production.
• If you cancel after production begins or fail to take delivery and pay within a reasonable period after we notify you the unit is ready, we may keep your deposit, resell the unit, and recover our reasonable costs permitted by law.

7.Trade-Ins

• Any trade-in value discussed online or by phone is an estimate. The final offer depends on an in-person inspection, condition, market, title status and payoff.
• You represent that you own the trade-in or are authorized to sell it, that it is free of liens other than a disclosed lender payoff, and that the information you give us (including mileage and damage history) is true.
• You must provide a clear title or payoff information. A trade-in offer may be withdrawn or adjusted if the condition or information differs from what you described.

8.Delivery, Title and Risk of Loss

• Delivery charges depend on size, distance, carrier rates and location, and are quoted before you commit. Remote or hard-to-access locations may carry surcharges.
• Delivery and ready dates are estimates. You are responsible for access, permits and scheduling for delivery of large units.
• Title passes when the purchase agreement is signed, payment (or approved financing) is complete, and the unit is released or delivered to you or your carrier, as stated in your paperwork. Risk of loss passes to you at pickup or delivery to you or your carrier.
• Inspect the unit on delivery and note any visible damage on the delivery receipt. Report concealed issues promptly.
• Registration, title and license transfer follow Minnesota law or the law of your state. You are responsible for any requirements in your state.

9.Parts, Accessories and Returns

• Vehicles, trailers, custom-order items and special-order items generally cannot be returned unless there was an error on our part or the law requires a remedy.
• Unused parts and accessories in new, original condition with packaging and proof of purchase may be returned within 30 days of delivery after you contact us for approval.
• Electrical parts, items you installed or modified, and clearance or special-order parts are not returnable unless defective.
• Return shipping is your responsibility unless the return is due to our error. A 15% restocking fee may apply to returns that are not due to our error, or a defect.
• Refunds go to the original payment method after we receive and inspect the item.

10.Payments and Taxes

• We accept payment methods stated in your purchase documents, which may include cards, cash, certified funds and approved financing. Large transactions may require wire transfer, certified funds or bank draft.
• We may verify identity and funds and may decline or reverse a transaction we reasonably suspect to be fraudulent or unauthorized.
• Sales and use tax and fees are collected as required by Minnesota and, where applicable, your state of registration. Out-of-state buyers are responsible for tax owed to their state.
• If a payment is dishonored, charged back or returned, you agree to pay what is owed together with reasonable collection costs the law allows.

11.Towing, Ice and Safe Use

Fish houses and trailers are used in towing, outdoor, winter and on-ice conditions that carry real risk. You are responsible for safe use.

• Confirm that your tow vehicle, hitch, brakes, lighting and wiring are rated and set up for the unit's weight and tongue weight. Review the manufacturer's manual, tire, load and towing information.
• Follow all laws on registration, lighting, licensing, size and weight, and ice-use rules in the areas where you travel and fish.
• Ice thickness and conditions vary and change. Check local conditions and advice before driving or placing a unit on ice. We do not assess ice safety.
• Use propane, heat, electrical and carbon monoxide equipment only as the manufacturer instructs, keep working detectors and ventilation in the unit, and never leave heat sources unattended.
• Inspect the unit, trailer and components before each trip and after any impact.

12.Service and Third Parties

Parts, accessories and service are provided by us or by independent providers we refer you to. Service and repair work is covered by the written estimate or work order for that job, which controls over these Terms.

Third-party sites, lenders, shippers, service providers and manufacturers are independent of us. Their products, advice and terms are their responsibility, and your dealings with them are solely between you and them.

13.Electronic Communications

You agree that we may contact you by phone, text and email about your inquiry and transactions, and that electronic records and signatures have the same effect as paper where the law allows. Message and data rates may apply. You can opt out of marketing at any time as described in our Privacy Policy.

14.Disclaimer of Warranties for the Site

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES ABOUT THE SITE, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, AVAILABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

15.Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, USE OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THE SITE OR ANY UNIT, PART OR SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO THE SITE WILL NOT EXCEED $100. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATED TO A PURCHASE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE ITEM OR SERVICE THAT GIVES RISE TO THE CLAIM.

16.Indemnification

To the extent allowed by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses and reasonable expenses (including attorney fees) arising from your misuse of the Site, your violation of these Terms or law, information you submit that you were not entitled to submit, or your negligent or unlawful use of a unit after delivery, except to the extent caused by our own negligence or misconduct.

17.Governing Law and Disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising from the Site or your dealings with us are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

Before filing a claim, please contact us in writing at the address or email below describing the problem, and give us 30 days to try to resolve it. If we cannot, you and we agree that any lawsuit will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Minnesota, and each of us consents to their jurisdiction and venue, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court. Any claim must be brought within one year after it arises, to the extent the law allows a shorter period than the statute of limitations.

Nothing here limits any right you have to contact or file a complaint with a government agency, including the Minnesota Attorney General's Office and the Federal Trade Commission.

18.General Terms

• Entire agreement: these Terms, the Privacy Policy and your signed purchase documents are the whole agreement about their subject.
• Severability: if a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent needed and the rest stays in force.
• No waiver: our not enforcing a right is not a waiver of it.
• Assignment: you may not assign these Terms without our consent. We may assign them in a business transfer.
• Force majeure: we are not responsible for delay or failure caused by events beyond our reasonable control, such as severe weather, supplier or carrier disruption, labor disputes, outages or government action.
• Survival: sections that by their nature should continue after the Terms end will continue, including disclaimers, limits of liability, indemnity and governing law.

19.Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date shows the current version. Changes apply going forward and do not alter the terms of a purchase agreement you have already signed. Continuing to use the Site after an update means you accept it.
