It is the SOLE
responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that all transactions conform
to U.S. and Federal, State and Local Statutes, Codes, and Ordinances.
We
Sell ONLY to Law-Abiding Adults
Body Armor is
a purely defensive item but, regardless, we are very sensitive to
the possibility of vests being misused by criminals. By buying a vest
from us, you certify that you are law-abiding, of adult age,
and have no felony convictions. We do not sell to felons or minors.,
It is against
the law for a person convicted of a 'crime of violence' to possess Body
Armor under federal law (unless required by your employer, see,
Sec. 931). It is also illegal under state law for a convicted
felon to own armor in many states.
We cooperate
with law enforcement to stop the use of vests by criminals.
If you
have any criminal purpose in mind (or resell your armor to a criminal)
you do NOT want to have bought Body Armor from us! (The only
loophole in our Privacy Commitment
is to respond to inquires from law enforcement where armor we sold
is suspected to have been involved in a crime.)
We reserve the
right to refuse to sell to anyone, in our sole discretion. By buying
body armor you guarantee that you are not legally prohibited from
owning firearms, or body armor, and also that you are not associated
with any criminal group, in any way, and have only a lawful purpose
for owning body armor.

WARNING:
U.S. EXPORT CONTROL LAWS
Level III and IV
armor (Rifle Plates) fall under the jurisdiction of the International
Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), and is subject to the export control
laws of the U.S. Government. Export
or retransfer of Rifle Plates by any means to any foreign end user,
or for any other end use, whether in the U.S. or abroad, without the
written approval of the U.S.

There is often an
exemption for a U.S. person taking their personal protection with them
in their luggage, and returning the armor to the US. For the requirements,
click here.
One of the forms required may be found here.

Level III-A,
Level II, and Level II-A VESTS often
have an export license exemption for many countries, but require a
license from the Bureau
of Industry & Security (BIS)
for a few select countries
Kevlar
Helmets in quantity, Ballistic Shields, Riot Shields, Faceshields
and other sensitive items generally require an export license from
the BIS.
Residents

NO Armor is 100% Bulletproof
A 'bulletproof' vest or
other armor will protect you from the vast majority of pistol ballistic threats
you are ever likely to face. But there is always a tradeoff between more protection
and more wearability (and the constraint to stay within your budget). Please
know that:
- rifle rounds
- unusual high velocity
pistol ammunition
- pistol ammo fired from
a rifle barrel
- armor piercing ammunition
- sharp-edged or pointed
instruments (e.g., knives, icepicks, etc.), and/or
- other unusual ammunition
or situations...
CAN defeat body armor.
Also, at some angles projectiles
can slide, or deflect off the edges of Armor, or ricochet. Furthermore, projectiles
that are successfully stopped by armor will always produce some level of injury,
resulting in severe bruising, broken bones, and possibly serious internal injury
or even death. Soft body armor defeats most pistol and shotgun projectiles,
but NO vest on earth makes you invulnerable to all threats. To
state the obvious, getting shot ALWAYS carries some risk.
Be
aware that your head is much more susceptible to blunt trauma than
your body. ANY impact of a bullet on a helmet WILL CAUSE INJURY AND
CAN CAUSE DEATH. You put the odds more in your favor with head protection,
but, just as with ANY armor, no guarantee of invulnerability can be
made.
By buying Armor you assume
ALL risks of use or misuse, and agree not to hold us liable in any way.
In addition, YOU are responsible to ensure that your ballistic panels are positioned
inner side IN, and outer side OUT if applicable (check the inside vest panel
label).
