Terms and Conditions

  Trending Motorsports Techniques LLC ("Company") is an automotive remanufacturing and performance company. By dropping off a vehicle at our facility, authorizing work, or making any payment, the Customer acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the following Terms and Conditions. 

1.1 "Company" refers to Trending Motorsports Techniques LLC, its owners, employees, agents, and representatives.

1.2 "Customer" refers to the registered owner of the vehicle or the individual authorizing work on the vehicle.

1.3 "Vehicle" refers to the automobile, engine, or parts provided by the Customer to the Company for services.

1.4 "Services" refers to any repair, modification, fabrication, tuning, dyno testing, or installation work performed by the Company.

The Customer accepts these Terms and Conditions by doing any of the following: (a) signing a repair order or estimate; (b) dropping off a vehicle at the Company’s facility; (c) verbally authorizing work; or (d) making a deposit or partial payment. These terms constitute a binding legal agreement.

WARNING: OFF-ROAD USE ONLY.

3.1 Unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing, all work performed, parts installed, and modifications made by the Company are intended solely for OFF-ROAD or TRACK USE ONLY.

3.2 The Customer acknowledges that these modifications may render the Vehicle illegal for use on public highways, roads, or streets under federal, state, and local laws (including emissions and safety regulations). The Customer assumes full responsibility for ensuring their Vehicle complies with all applicable laws.

4.1 Insurance Requirements. The Customer must maintain active and valid comprehensive insurance coverage on the Vehicle at all times while it is on the Company's premises. The Company does not carry insurance for Customer vehicles.

4.2 Limitation of Custodial Liability. The Company is NOT RESPONSIBLE for loss or damage to the Vehicle or articles left inside the Vehicle in case of fire, theft, accident, weather, shipping damage, hail, flood, vandalism, or any other cause beyond the Company’s direct control.

4.3 Outdoor Storage. The Company is not responsible for any damage, weathering, or deterioration of vehicles stored outside on the Company’s lot.

5.1 Authorization. By signing an estimate or providing verbal authorization via phone, the Customer agrees that the description of work is complete and accurate.

5.2 Changes and Additions. Any additional parts, labor, or machine work requested or required after the initial approval of the build plan will result in changes to the final price and timeline. The Customer acknowledges that estimates are subject to change based on the condition of the Vehicle upon teardown or inspection.

5.3 Phone Authorization. The Customer agrees that verbal authorization over the phone carries the same legal weight as a written signature for changes to original estimates.

6.1 Deposit. Full payment for all parts and fifty percent (50%) of estimated labor is required at the time of Vehicle drop-off or scheduling.

6.2 Progress Payments. For long-term builds, monthly payments are required until the balance is paid in full. Failure to make monthly payments may result in a work stoppage.

6.3 Final Payment. All remaining balances must be paid in full upon completion of the work and prior to the release of the Vehicle.

6.4 Late Fees and Interest. Late payments on completed jobs or stalled jobs due to non-payment are subject to an interest charge of 18% per month (or the maximum allowed by law, whichever is lower) on the unpaid balance.

6.5 No Refunds. All payments are final. NO REFUNDS will be issued for deposits, special order parts, or labor already performed.

7.1 Estimates Only. All completion dates and timeframes provided are ESTIMATES ONLY. Due to the nature of aftermarket performance work, supply chain issues, and custom fabrication, no completion date is guaranteed.

7.2 Force Majeure. The Company is not liable for delays caused by acts of God, strikes, suppliers, shipping delays, or other events beyond its control.

8.1 If the Vehicle is not picked up within three (3) business days after notification of completion, storage fees of $65.00 per day will be charged and must be paid before the Vehicle is released.

9.1 AS IS. Except as expressly provided in a separate written warranty agreement, all parts and services are provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind.

9.2 Used Parts. There are absolutely NO WARRANTIES on used, second-hand, or Customer-supplied parts.

9.3 Warranty Void Conditions. Any warranty provided by the Company is immediately VOID if:

• The engine, transmission, or any installed part is opened, altered, tampered with, or worked on by anyone other than Trending Motorsports Techniques LLC.
• The engine is not tuned by a tuner approved by the Company.
• The Vehicle is removed from the shop before the Company certifies the work as complete.
• The Vehicle is subjected to abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance.

9.4 Break-In Period. Engines with a full build require a mandatory 1,000-mile break-in period. During this period, the Vehicle must be driven under 3,500 RPM. Failure to adhere to these break-in procedures voids all warranties.

9.5 IMPLIED WARRANTIES DISCLAIMER. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COMPANY DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

10.1 Cap on Damages. The Company’s total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to this agreement shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Customer to the Company for the specific labor services giving rise to the claim.

10.2 No Consequential Damages. In no event shall the Company be liable for incidental, special, indirect, or consequential damages, including but not limited to loss of use, loss of income, rental car costs, or towing fees.

The Customer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Trending Motorsports Techniques LLC, its owners, and employees from any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, or expenses (including attorney’s fees) arising from the Customer's use of the Vehicle, including any violation of traffic laws or regulations.

The Customer acknowledges that modifying a vehicle for performance involves inherent risks, including increased wear on components, potential for mechanical failure, and safety risks. The Customer voluntarily assumes all such risks.

13.1 If the Customer removes the Vehicle from the shop before work is completed, or if the job is canceled at the Customer’s request, all deposits and payments made to date are FORFEITED to cover liquidation damages, labor performed, and parts ordered.

14.1 The Customer acknowledges an EXPRESS MECHANIC'S LIEN on the Vehicle to secure the amount of repairs, parts, storage, and labor. The Customer agrees that the Company holds the right to retain possession of the Vehicle until all charges are paid in full. The Company may enforce this lien in accordance with Maryland state law.

15.1 Official Channel. All official communication regarding builds must be conducted via the shop phone at (240) 651-3251 during business hours (8:00 AM – 5:00 PM).

15.2 The Company is not responsible for messages sent via social media, personal texts to employees, or third parties.

17.2 Attorney Fees. In the event of any legal action to enforce this Agreement or collect payment, the Customer agrees to pay all of the Company’s reasonable attorney fees, court costs, and collection expenses, regardless of the outcome.

17.3 Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, held in Maryland.

17.4 Defamation. The Customer agrees that any false, unjustified, or malicious slander, libel, or defamation against the Company will result in immediate legal action.

If any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

The Company shall not be liable for any failure to perform its obligations where such failure is as a result of Acts of Nature (including fire, flood, earthquake, storm, hurricane, or other natural disaster), war, invasion, act of foreign enemies, hostilities, civil war, rebellion, revolution, insurrection, military or usurped power, or confiscation.

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations, and discussions, whether oral or written.

The Company reserves the right to modify these Terms and Conditions at any time. Continued use of the Company's services constitutes acceptance of any changes.
