Golden Hour LEDs Terms and Conditions

Terms & Conditions of Purchase & Participation

By submitting an order, deposit, or application to participate in the GoldenHourLEDs Founding Dealer Program (“Program”), the individual or business (“Dealer”) agrees to the following Terms and Conditions:

1. Program Overview

GoldenHourLEDs is offering a limited number of Founding Dealer opportunities to select golf cart dealerships within exclusive metro territories. Participation grants temporary market exclusivity, access to wholesale pricing, and marketing support.

2. Payment Terms

• A non-refundable deposit is required to confirm Program participation and initiate initial kits for preparation.

• The remaining balance is due prior to shipment. No product will ship without full payment.

• Failure to make timely payments may result in loss of exclusivity or cancellation.

3. Product Use & Branding

• GoldenHourLEDs kits are sold exclusively for resale when fully installed under the GoldenHourLEDs name and brand.

• Dealers may set their own final retail pricing but agree to maintain the Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) per kit (Wheel Lights + Underglow) in all sales materials, online listings, and advertising.

• If the kit is bundled with a golf cart purchase, the calculated value of the kit must remain at or above established MAP pricing  in any advertised package.

• Dealer agrees not to rebrand, repackage, relabel, or modify any kit or component without written approval.

• All packaging, designs, and marketing assets remain the sole property of GoldenHourLEDs.

•  Dealer acknowledges that GoldenHourLEDs products are intended to be sold as professionally installed aftermarket accessories. Dealer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure all installations are performed by qualified personnel familiar with the installation instructions and accepted industry practices. 
• Dealers are encouraged to tag and link to GoldenHourLEDs on social media when showcasing carts with our Wheel light & Underglow kits.
  Approved social handles:
  Instagram: @GoldenHourLEDs
  Facebook: Golden Hour LEDs
  Website: www.GoldenHourLEDs.com
  This helps reinforce brand consistency and amplifies exposure for all Founding Dealers. Custom co-marketing assets may be made available upon request.

4. Intellectual Property, Confidentiality & Trade Secret Protection

Dealer acknowledges that all GoldenHourLEDs products, designs, configurations, mounting systems, bracket designs, wiring structures, harnesses, installation procedures, fitment methodologies, packaging, marketing materials, documentation, pricing programs, dealer programs, business methods, and related information are proprietary and constitute valuable intellectual property, confidential information, and/or trade secrets of GoldenHourLEDs.

Dealer further acknowledges that receipt, inspection, installation, testing, evaluation, demonstration, use, disassembly, or possession of any GoldenHourLEDs product does not grant Dealer any ownership interest, manufacturing rights, design rights, derivative rights, reproduction rights, or other rights to replicate, commercialize, or create products based upon GoldenHourLEDs products or proprietary information.

Dealer agrees that neither Dealer nor any employee, owner, contractor, affiliate, representative, manufacturer, supplier, partner, customer, consultant, investor, related entity, or third party acting on Dealer’s behalf shall, directly or indirectly:

• Reverse engineer, deconstruct, disassemble, analyze, inspect, test, measure, duplicate, replicate, reproduce, modify, adapt, derive, manufacture, commission, source, distribute, market, or sell any product based in whole or in part upon any GoldenHourLEDs product, design, concept, component, installation method, mounting method, wiring method, fitment strategy, packaging, or proprietary information;
• Use GoldenHourLEDs products, documentation, installation materials, packaging, photographs, videos, samples, demonstrations, or other materials for the purpose of developing, improving, sourcing, manufacturing, or commercializing a product derived from, substantially similar to, or based upon a GoldenHourLEDs product;
• Provide, disclose, distribute, transfer, loan, ship, deliver, submit, or otherwise make available any GoldenHourLEDs product, component, documentation, installation materials, specifications, packaging, or proprietary information to any manufacturer, supplier, engineer, designer, developer, consultant, competitor, dealer, golf cart manufacturer, OEM, private-label company, affiliate, parent company, subsidiary, commonly owned entity, investor, partner, or other third party for evaluation, duplication, competitive analysis, reverse engineering, product development, sourcing, or manufacturing purposes;
• Assist, encourage, finance, facilitate, advise, or participate in any effort by any third party to create, manufacture, market, distribute, or sell a product derived from, substantially similar to, or based upon GoldenHourLEDs products or proprietary information.

Dealer shall immediately notify GoldenHourLEDs upon becoming aware of any unauthorized use, disclosure, reproduction, reverse engineering, duplication, infringement, or attempted development of a derivative product involving GoldenHourLEDs products or proprietary information.

Dealer acknowledges that any breach of this section would cause irreparable harm to GoldenHourLEDs for which monetary damages alone would be inadequate. Accordingly, GoldenHourLEDs shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief, temporary restraining orders, specific performance, monetary damages, recovery of lost profits, and all other remedies available at law or equity without the requirement of posting bond.

In any action arising from a violation of this section, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees, investigative costs, and court costs.

Nothing contained in these Terms & Conditions or any dealer relationship shall be construed as granting Dealer any ownership interest, license, manufacturing right, design right, derivative work right, intellectual property right, or other right to reproduce, modify, commercialize, or create products based upon any GoldenHourLEDs product or proprietary information. 

The obligations contained in this section are perpetual, survive termination of any dealer relationship, and remain in effect indefinitely.

5. Non-Circumvention & Derivative Product Restriction

Dealer acknowledges that GoldenHourLEDs has invested substantial time, effort, and expense developing proprietary wheel lighting products, fitment methodologies, installation processes, dealer programs, and related intellectual property.

Dealer agrees that neither Dealer nor any employee, affiliate, contractor, representative, partner, investor, related entity, manufacturer, supplier, OEM, golf cart brand, or third party acting on Dealer’s behalf shall directly or indirectly use any GoldenHourLEDs product, component, sample, documentation, installation material, design, fitment methodology, mounting method, wiring structure, supplier relationship, dealer program, confidential information, trade secret, or proprietary information to:

• Develop, manufacture, source, market, distribute, commercialize, private-label, or offer for sale any product derived from, based upon, or substantially similar to a GoldenHourLEDs product;
• Assist another company, manufacturer, supplier, dealer, golf cart brand, OEM, private-label provider, affiliate, or related entity in developing, manufacturing, sourcing, marketing, distributing, or commercializing a product derived from, based upon, or substantially similar to a GoldenHourLEDs product;
• Circumvent GoldenHourLEDs for the purpose of reproducing, replicating, sourcing, manufacturing, importing, private-labeling, modifying, or commercializing a derivative version of any GoldenHourLEDs product.

Nothing in this section shall prohibit Dealer from selling, distributing, installing, or marketing products that were independently developed without the use of GoldenHourLEDs products, confidential information, trade secrets, proprietary materials, designs, fitment methodologies, installation procedures, or other protected information.

The provisions of this section survive termination of the dealer relationship and remain enforceable for so long as the applicable confidential information, proprietary information, or trade secrets remain protected under applicable law.

6. Dealer Conduct & Brand Representation

• Dealer agrees to represent the GoldenHourLEDs brand with professionalism and integrity.

• Any public misrepresentation, misuse of marketing materials, or violation of terms may result in immediate termination of Program access and revocation of dealer status.

7. Installation, Inspection & Dealer Responsibility

Dealer acknowledges that GoldenHourLEDs manufactures and supplies aftermarket lighting products and does not perform, supervise, inspect, or certify the installation of any product sold to Dealer. Dealer is solely responsible for ensuring that each product is installed in accordance with GoldenHourLEDs' published installation instructions, accepted industry practices, and all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

Dealer further agrees that, prior to delivering any vehicle equipped with GoldenHourLEDs products to an end customer, Dealer shall inspect the completed installation, verify that all brackets, mounting hardware, clamps, fasteners, wiring, electrical connections, controllers, and related components are properly secured and functioning as intended, and confirm that the vehicle is safe for operation. Dealer acknowledges that the quality, workmanship, and safety of each installation are solely within Dealer's control and responsibility.

Dealer shall serve as the end customer’s primary point of contact for all questions, complaints, inspections, adjustments, repairs, warranty inquiries, or other concerns relating to Dealer’s installation workmanship or services. Dealer shall not direct an installation-related claim to GoldenHourLEDs without first inspecting the vehicle and reasonably determining whether the reported issue concerns the GoldenHourLEDs product itself rather than Dealer’s installation, wiring, mounting, servicing, or workmanship. Dealer shall promptly provide GoldenHourLEDs with photographs, installation records, inspection findings, and other information reasonably requested in connection with any reported product or installation issue. 

8. Installation Liability & Indemnification

Dealer accepts full responsibility for all installation services performed by Dealer or on Dealer's behalf. Dealer assumes all responsibility and liability for any claims, damages, losses, injuries, costs, or expenses arising from or related to improper installation, improper wiring, failure to secure mounting hardware, failure to inspect the completed installation, negligent workmanship, unauthorized modifications, improper maintenance, or failure to follow GoldenHourLEDs' published installation instructions.

Dealer agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless A&J Services & Consulting, LLC d/b/a GoldenHourLEDs, together with its owners, officers, employees, contractors, agents, successors, and assigns, from and against all third-party claims, demands, actions, lawsuits, liabilities, damages, judgments, settlements, losses, penalties, recalls, corrective-action expenses, costs, and reasonable attorneys’ fees arising out of or relating to Dealer’s installation, inspection, servicing, repair, modification, maintenance, marketing, sale, delivery, customer representations, negligence, willful misconduct, breach of these Terms, or failure to comply with applicable law or GoldenHourLEDs’ published instructions. Dealer’s obligations shall apply to the extent that the claim, damage, injury, or loss was caused or contributed to by any act or omission of Dealer or its employees, contractors, agents, or representatives. Dealer shall not be required to indemnify GoldenHourLEDs to the extent that a final, non-appealable judgment determines that the applicable claim was caused by a manufacturing defect present in the product when originally supplied by GoldenHourLEDs and was not caused or contributed to by Dealer or any third party. 

GoldenHourLEDs shall provide Dealer with reasonably prompt notice of any claim for which indemnification is sought, provided that a delay in notice shall relieve Dealer of its obligations only to the extent Dealer is materially prejudiced by the delay. Dealer shall not settle any claim in a manner that admits fault by GoldenHourLEDs, imposes any obligation on GoldenHourLEDs, affects GoldenHourLEDs’ rights, or fails to provide GoldenHourLEDs with a complete release without GoldenHourLEDs’ prior written consent. GoldenHourLEDs may participate in the defense with counsel of its choosing at its own expense, except that Dealer shall be responsible for such expense when a material conflict of interest exists between Dealer and GoldenHourLEDs. 

The obligations contained in this Section shall survive termination of the dealer relationship.

9. Dealer Insurance

Dealer shall maintain, at its own expense, commercially reasonable insurance appropriate for its business and the activities performed under these Terms, including commercial general liability insurance covering bodily injury, property damage, products-completed operations, installation operations, and contractual liability. Unless otherwise approved in writing by GoldenHourLEDs, such coverage shall have limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate.

Upon request, Dealer shall provide GoldenHourLEDs with a certificate of insurance evidencing the required coverage. GoldenHourLEDs may require A&J Services & Consulting, LLC d/b/a GoldenHourLEDs to be named as an additional insured with respect to claims arising from Dealer’s installation, sale, servicing, repair, maintenance, representations, or other operations. Dealer shall promptly notify GoldenHourLEDs of any cancellation, nonrenewal, lapse, or material reduction in the required coverage.

Dealer’s insurance obligations do not limit Dealer’s liability or indemnification obligations under these Terms. Failure to maintain the required insurance constitutes a material breach and may result in suspension of shipments, termination of dealer status, or both.

10.  PRODUCT WARRANTY & LIMITATION OF RESPONSIBILITY 

GoldenHourLEDs’ obligations concerning defects in a product are limited to the express written warranty, if any, provided by GoldenHourLEDs for that product. GoldenHourLEDs does not provide any warranty concerning Dealer’s installation, labor, workmanship, servicing, maintenance, repair, modification, customer representations, or other services performed by Dealer or any third party.

GoldenHourLEDs shall not be responsible for damages, failures, injuries, or losses resulting from improper installation, improper wiring, improper mounting, failure to properly secure mounting hardware, unauthorized modifications, misuse, abuse, accidents, improper maintenance, failure to inspect installed components, or failure to follow published installation instructions.

Dealer acknowledges that aftermarket vehicle accessories require proper installation and periodic inspection as part of normal vehicle maintenance. Dealer is solely responsible for advising its customers of any inspection or maintenance recommendations applicable to installed products.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed to limit or exclude liability that cannot legally be limited or excluded under applicable law.

Dealer shall inspect and document any reported product failure before removing, replacing, discarding, returning, or altering the affected product. GoldenHourLEDs may require photographs, videos, proof of purchase, vehicle information, installation records, wiring information, maintenance information, return of the affected component, or other reasonable documentation before determining whether an issue qualifies for warranty coverage. GoldenHourLEDs may deny warranty coverage when the available evidence reasonably indicates improper installation, modification, misuse, accident, external damage, improper voltage, improper wiring, insufficient maintenance, or failure to follow installation instructions.

Except as otherwise expressly stated in a written GoldenHourLEDs warranty, Dealer is solely responsible for any warranty, guarantee, promise, representation, installation warranty, labor warranty, or customer remedy offered by Dealer beyond the written product warranty expressly provided by GoldenHourLEDs. Dealer has no authority to expand, alter, or create warranty obligations on behalf of GoldenHourLEDs.

11.  LIMITATION OF COMMERCIAL LIABILITY 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, GoldenHourLEDs shall not be liable to Dealer for any indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive, or consequential damages, including lost profits, lost revenue, loss of business opportunity, loss of goodwill, loss of use, vehicle downtime, substitute-product costs, customer concessions, or business interruption, arising out of or relating to the products, the Program, or these Terms, regardless of the legal theory asserted and even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, GoldenHourLEDs’ aggregate liability to Dealer arising out of or relating to a particular product shall not exceed the amount actually paid by Dealer to GoldenHourLEDs for that product. This limitation applies only to the commercial relationship between GoldenHourLEDs and Dealer and does not limit liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

The limitations contained in this section do not limit Dealer’s payment obligations, indemnification obligations, confidentiality obligations, intellectual-property obligations, or liability arising from Dealer’s fraud, willful misconduct, unauthorized product modification, or violation of Sections 4 or 5.

12. Termination

GoldenHourLEDs reserves the right to terminate a dealer relationship at any time if:

• There is a breach of these Terms & Conditions

• Dealer fails to meet minimum order volumes

• Dealer engages in unauthorized reproduction, reverse engineering, duplication, derivation, commercialization, distribution, marketing, or sale of products derived from, based upon, or substantially similar to GoldenHourLEDs products, designs, installation methods, fitment methodologies, or proprietary information

• Dealer misrepresents their status or market territory

• Dealer repeatedly fails to properly install GoldenHourLEDs products or engages in installation or servicing practices that, in GoldenHourLEDs’ reasonable judgment, create an unsafe condition or expose GoldenHourLEDs to reputational, financial, or legal risk. 

13.  GOVERNING LAW; BINDING ARBITRATION 

These Terms and all disputes arising out of or relating to the products, the Program, the dealer relationship, or these Terms shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Except for claims for equitable relief expressly permitted below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the relationship between Dealer and GoldenHourLEDs shall be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules. Unless the parties agree otherwise in writing, the arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator in Prince William County, Virginia. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. 

Notwithstanding the foregoing arbitration requirement, GoldenHourLEDs may seek temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, permanent injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief in any state or federal court located in the Commonwealth of Virginia to protect its intellectual property, confidential information, trade secrets, brand, territory rights, payment rights, or other interests for which immediate equitable relief may be appropriate. 

14. Updates

GoldenHourLEDs may revise these Terms from time to time by providing Dealer with written or electronic notice or by making the revised Terms available through the applicable dealer portal, order process, or other electronic acceptance process. Unless otherwise required by law or expressly agreed in writing, revised Terms shall apply prospectively to orders, purchases, renewals, or Program participation occurring after the effective date of the revised Terms.

Dealer’s submission of an order, purchase, deposit, renewal, or other electronic acceptance after receiving notice of revised Terms constitutes Dealer’s acceptance of those revised Terms. No revision shall retroactively alter rights or obligations arising from a previously completed order unless Dealer and GoldenHourLEDs expressly agree otherwise in writing.

15. Authorized Representative; Electronic Transactions

The individual completing, submitting, or signing any GoldenHourLEDs dealer application, dealer setup form, order form, purchase order, deposit, or other participation document on behalf of a business entity represents and warrants that they are authorized to act on behalf of and legally bind such business entity to these Terms & Conditions.

Dealer acknowledges and agrees that submission of a dealer application, dealer setup form, order, deposit, purchase, electronic acceptance, signature, or other participation in the Program constitutes acceptance of these Terms & Conditions.

The Authorized Representative identified on the dealer application or dealer setup form certifies that they have read, understand, and agree to these Terms & Conditions on behalf of themselves and the Dealer entity they represent.

Dealer further acknowledges that electronic signatures, digital acknowledgements, checkboxes, online submissions, emailed approvals, and other electronic records shall be deemed valid and enforceable signatures to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

16. Independent Dealer Relationship

Dealer is an independent business and is not an employee, agent, representative, franchisee, joint venturer, partner, or legal representative of GoldenHourLEDs. Nothing in these Terms creates a franchise, partnership, fiduciary relationship, employment relationship, agency relationship, joint venture, or other similar relationship between Dealer and GoldenHourLEDs.

Dealer has no authority to make warranties, guarantees, representations, commitments, admissions, settlements, or agreements on behalf of GoldenHourLEDs except as expressly authorized in writing by GoldenHourLEDs. Dealer is solely responsible for its own business operations, employees, contractors, installation and servicing activities, customer relationships, taxes, licenses, permits, insurance, advertising, and compliance with applicable laws.

17. Notices

Notices required or permitted under these Terms may be delivered by email, recognized overnight delivery service, certified mail, the GoldenHourLEDs dealer portal, or another electronic method regularly used by the parties for dealer communications. Notices to GoldenHourLEDs shall be directed to amy@goldenhourleds.com unless GoldenHourLEDs provides a replacement address in writing. Notices to Dealer may be directed to the email address, mailing address, or electronic account provided in Dealer’s application, order, account registration, or most recent written communication. Dealer is responsible for keeping its contact information current.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, notice by email or dealer portal shall be effective when sent or posted, notice by overnight delivery shall be effective on the next business day after dispatch, and notice by certified mail shall be effective three business days after mailing.

18. Acceptance

By submitting a dealer application, making a deposit, placing an order, purchasing a product, electronically accepting these Terms, or otherwise participating in the Founding Dealer Program, Dealer acknowledges that it has read, understands, and agrees to be legally bound by these Terms.

19. Entire Agreement; Severability

These Terms, together with any applicable dealer application, order form, invoice, written warranty, territory confirmation, or other document expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the agreement between GoldenHourLEDs and Dealer concerning the subject matter addressed herein. In the event of a conflict, these Terms shall control unless a later written agreement signed by GoldenHourLEDs expressly states that it modifies a specific provision of these Terms.

If any provision of these Terms is determined to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
