1. Scope of This Disclaimer

This disclaimer applies to Dash Racegear Store and its website, product pages, collection pages, buying guides, advertisements, emails, social media content, photographs, videos, packaging and other marketing materials where references may be made to Formula 1, F1, FIA, Grand Prix events, racing teams, drivers, car manufacturers, sponsors, historic racing designs, colors, numbers, liveries or related motorsport subjects.

The purpose of this page is to help customers understand the commercial status and intended description of our F1-inspired and motorsport-inspired products. It does not grant Dash Racegear or any customer ownership of, or a license to use, intellectual property belonging to another party.

2. Independent Business and No Affiliation

Dash Racegear Store operates independently. We are not part of, controlled by or acting on behalf of Formula One Management, Formula One Digital Media, the Formula One group of companies, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA), any Formula 1 team, any driver, any racing series, any vehicle manufacturer or any sponsor.

No reference on this website should be interpreted as evidence of an official business relationship, partnership, dealership, distributorship, agency, sponsorship, endorsement, collaboration or approval unless that relationship is clearly and specifically confirmed in writing on the relevant product page.

Purchasing a product from Dash Racegear does not create any relationship between the customer and Formula 1, the FIA, a team, a driver, a manufacturer, a sponsor or another rights holder.

3. Unofficial and Unlicensed Products

Unless an individual listing expressly and accurately identifies an item as officially licensed, the customer should understand that the item is an independent, unofficial, fan-inspired or motorsport-inspired product.

• The product is not official Formula 1 merchandise.
• The product is not an official team or driver product.
• The product has not been licensed or approved by Formula 1, the FIA, a team, a driver, a manufacturer or a sponsor.
• The sale of the product does not imply authorization by any third-party rights holder.
• Use of words such as inspired, style, tribute, retro, vintage, replica-style or fanwear does not mean that the product is officially licensed.

If a product is ever offered under a valid official license, that status will be stated clearly on the specific product page. Customers should not assume official licensing from colors, artwork, product photography, names, numbers, logos or design resemblance alone.

4. Trademarks, Names, Logos and Intellectual Property

Formula 1, F1, FIA, Grand Prix names, team names, driver names, vehicle manufacturer names, sponsor names, championship names, logos, emblems, race numbers, liveries, color combinations and other identifying marks may be trademarks, copyrighted works, design rights or other intellectual property owned by their respective rights holders.

All third-party trademarks, logos, names, photographs, graphics and other intellectual property remain the property of their respective owners. Dash Racegear does not claim ownership of third-party intellectual property and does not claim that the presence of a name, mark, color scheme or visual reference creates a license, endorsement or official association.

References may be used to describe the visual inspiration, historic racing context, compatibility, subject matter or style of a product. Such descriptive references must not be understood as a statement that the product is official, authorized or licensed.

5. Meaning of “F1-Inspired,” “Team-Inspired” and Similar Terms

On this website, descriptive expressions such as “F1-inspired,” “Formula racing inspired,” “team-inspired,” “driver-inspired,” “vintage racing inspired,” “replica-style” or similar wording generally describe the appearance, theme, era, color arrangement or motorsport influence of a product.

These terms do not represent:

• a claim that the product was manufactured by Formula 1, the FIA, a team, a driver or a sponsor;
• a claim that the product was worn, used or approved by a real driver or racing team;
• a guarantee that every detail exactly matches an original race-worn garment;
• a claim of official licensing, authenticity, certification or collectible provenance;
• a transfer of any trademark, copyright, publicity, personality or design right.

Where a product is described by a season, event, team, driver or historic era, the reference is intended to help customers identify the design inspiration. Customers should review the complete title, description, photographs, materials, customization options and notices before purchasing.

6. Product Images, Artwork and Design Variations

Product photographs and digital mockups are provided to explain the item being offered. Colors may look different because of lighting, screen settings, display technology, fabric type, printing method and production updates. Small differences in logo placement, patch position, embroidery, stitching, panels, trim or color tone may occur when stated or permitted by the product description.

A product image showing a racing-inspired design does not prove official licensing, team approval or driver endorsement. Buyers should rely on the written licensing statement on the individual product page rather than visual resemblance.

Historic references, racing numbers and sponsor-style graphics may relate to different periods or versions of a design. Unless explicitly stated, products are not represented as original race-worn garments, authenticated memorabilia or exact reproductions approved by a rights holder.

7. Team, Driver, Manufacturer and Sponsor References

Any reference to a team, driver, manufacturer, sponsor, circuit, race or championship is made only to identify the subject, inspiration or style where appropriate. No such reference should be interpreted as a statement that:

• the named party designed, manufactured, supplied or inspected the product;
• the named party receives revenue from the sale;
• the named party has approved the product or Dash Racegear;
• Dash Racegear is an authorized reseller or official merchandise partner;
• the item has been used in an official race, paddock, team operation or championship event.

Driver names, likenesses, signatures, flags and numbers may also involve personality, publicity or other rights belonging to the relevant individuals or rights holders. Dash Racegear does not claim ownership of those rights.

8. No Automatic Racing Safety or Certification Claim

An F1-inspired appearance does not make a product suitable for professional motorsport. Lifestyle jackets, printed fan suits, costumes, promotional clothing and collector products are not automatically fire-resistant, FIA-approved, SFI-certified, CIK-approved or accepted by a race organizer.

A product should only be treated as certified protective equipment when its individual listing clearly states the exact current certification, standard and intended use, and the buyer has independently confirmed that the certification is accepted by the relevant event organizer or governing body.

Colors, badges, embroidery, racing-style construction or similarity to professional equipment do not prove safety certification.

9. Customer Understanding Before Purchase

Before purchasing an F1-inspired or motorsport-inspired product, customers are responsible for reviewing:

• whether the listing identifies the product as unofficial, inspired or officially licensed;
• the stated materials, decoration method, sizing and intended use;
• whether the product is a lifestyle item, collector item, costume, fanwear item or certified racing product;
• all customization details, including names, flags, numbers and spellings;
• the current return, refund, shipping and customization conditions;
• any laws, event rules or restrictions that apply to the customer’s intended use.

Customers must not describe, advertise or resell an unofficial item as officially licensed, authenticated, race-worn or endorsed when it is not.

10. No Warranty of Third-Party Approval

Dash Racegear does not warrant that any third party will approve, accept or permit a product for resale, public display, competition, commercial promotion, marketplace listing, event access or any other use. Marketplace policies, event rules, customs requirements and intellectual-property rules can differ by country and platform.

Customers planning commercial resale, public promotion, team use or another business use should obtain independent legal advice and any permissions required for that activity.

11. Intellectual-Property and Rights-Holder Requests

Dash Racegear respects intellectual-property rights. A rights holder or authorized representative who believes that content on our website infringes a trademark, copyright, design, publicity or other right may contact us for review.

Please send the following information to info@dashracegear.store:

• the name and contact information of the rights holder or authorized representative;
• identification of the right claimed and, where applicable, registration details;

• a clear explanation of the concern;
• evidence of authorization when the request is submitted by a representative.

We may request additional information and may restrict, edit or remove content while a good-faith request is reviewed. Submission of a notice does not guarantee a particular outcome, and this process does not limit any legal rights or remedies available to either party.

12. Returns, Refunds and Other Store Policies

This disclaimer explains product status and third-party affiliation. It does not replace the terms governing an order. Purchases remain subject to the current:

• Refund Policy
• Shipping Policy
• Terms of Service
• Privacy Policy

Personalized, customized and special-order products may have different return eligibility. The policy published at the time of the order and any mandatory consumer rights applicable in the customer’s location will govern.

13. Product-Specific Information

An individual product page may contain additional notices about licensing, intended use, certification, customization, sizing or return eligibility. The specific and accurate statement on the individual product page should be read together with this general disclaimer.

If a product page expressly confirms that an item is officially licensed, that statement applies only to that identified item and does not change the status of any other product.

14. Changes to This Disclaimer

Dash Racegear may update this disclaimer to reflect changes in products, business practices, website content, platform requirements or applicable law. The revised version will be published on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the website after an update means the visitor has access to the revised notice.

Is Dash Racegear affiliated with Formula 1 or the FIA?

No. Dash Racegear Store is an independent business and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, approved by or acting for Formula 1, the FIA, any team, driver, manufacturer or sponsor.

Does a team name, driver name or logo mean the item is licensed?

No. A name, number, color scheme, graphic or visual resemblance does not prove licensing. Official licensing will only be claimed when it is clearly confirmed on the individual product page.

Who owns Formula 1, team and driver trademarks?

Third-party names, logos, marks, designs and other intellectual property remain the property of their respective rights holders. Dash Racegear does not claim ownership of those rights.

No. This disclaimer is a transparency notice and does not grant or replace any permission or license that may be required.

Not automatically. Only rely on a certification when the exact product listing identifies the standard and intended use, and the relevant event organizer accepts it.

Are products exact copies of race-worn items?

Not unless expressly stated and supported. Inspired and replica-style products may reproduce the general visual theme but are not represented as authenticated race-worn memorabilia.
