Terms of Service

Terms of Service

Effective date: [EFFECTIVE_DATE] Draft for legal review. Confirm governing law and the legal entity before publish.

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a contract between you and [LEGAL_ENTITY] (“FlankBlast,” “we,” “us”) and apply to your use of flankblast.com and any purchase you make from us.

By using the site or placing an order, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy and Returns policy. If you do not agree, do not use the site.

This draft is not legal advice and should be reviewed by a US attorney before launch.

1. Eligibility and age

You must be 18 years of age or older to place an order. Products are intended for users 14 years of age or older. By checking the confirmation box at checkout, you represent that you are 18 or older and that you will not give a product to anyone who is not old enough to use it, or in a place where it is not allowed.

2. Accounts

You are responsible for your account login and for activity under your account. Tell us promptly at [SUPPORT_EMAIL] if you think your account was used without permission.

3. Products, pricing, and description

We try to describe products accurately, including specifications, colors, and what’s in the box. Photos are examples. Color and finish can vary. We may correct errors, update specifications, or change prices at any time before we accept an order. If we discover an obvious pricing error after you order, we may cancel the order and refund you.

All blasters are recreational products. They are not firearms. We do not sell firearms, firearm parts, or ammunition.

4. Orders

An order is an offer to buy. We may accept or decline it, including if an item is out of stock, we cannot ship to your address, or we suspect fraud. Title and risk of loss pass to you when the carrier has the package, except where law says otherwise.

You agree to provide a complete, accurate shipping address and to pay all charges, including taxes and shipping shown at checkout.

5. Lawful use and local rules

You are responsible for knowing and following all laws that apply to the purchase, possession, transport, and use of toy, look-alike, or recreational blasters where you live and where you play. Some cities and states restrict sale, possession, or public use.

You agree that you will:

  • Keep the permanently affixed orange muzzle marking in place and visible
  • Not paint, wrap, or otherwise change a blaster to look more like a real firearm
  • Not remove, cover, or alter required safety markings or labels
  • Use the product only for lawful recreational play, on private property or other locations where you have permission
  • Wear impact-rated eye protection during play, and require others in the match to do the same
  • Not aim at a person’s face, at animals, or at anyone who is not expecting to play
  • Store gel balls, darts, and blasters out of reach of young children

We may refuse service or cancel an order if we reasonably believe a purchase would violate the law or these Terms.

6. Safety warning

Gel balls and foam darts can cause eye injuries and other harm if they hit the face or if eye protection is not worn. Gel balls can also be a choking hazard for young children and must be stored securely. Follow the printed insert and the safety section on each product page. Use outdoors or in a controlled field. Never modify projectiles (for example, by freezing gel balls).

7. Returns

Returns, refunds, and defective-item handling are described in our Returns & Refunds policy, which is part of these Terms.

8. Intellectual property

The FlankBlast name, logos, product names, site design, and content are owned by us or our licensors. You may not copy or use them except as needed to use the site as a customer.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

Except where the law does not allow it, the site and the products are provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Some states do not allow disclaimers of implied warranties, so part of this section may not apply to you.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, FlankBlast and its owners, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, arising from your use of the site or products.

To the fullest extent allowed by law, our total liability for any claim relating to the site or to a product is limited to the amount you paid for the product that gave rise to the claim.

These limits do not apply to liability that the law does not let us limit, including certain claims for personal injury in some states.

11. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold FlankBlast harmless from claims and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that arise from your misuse of a product, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law.

12. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [STATE], without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except where federal law applies. Courts located in [STATE] will have jurisdiction, except where the law gives you the right to a different venue.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms by posting a new version on this page. The effective date will change when we do. If you continue to use the site after a change, you accept the revised Terms.
