By purchasing or using our products (the “Products”), you agree to the following Terms.

1) Safety Obligations (read before first use)

1.1 Pre-Use Confirmation. You may not have viewed all safety materials at checkout. You agree not to use any Product until you have (i) read the Safety & Installation Guide and/or (ii) watched the safety video(s) we provide via link/QR/email after purchase.
1.2 Required Safety Practices. Install only as instructed; use required safety stops/hitch pins/locks; keep loads centered; use a level/stable surface; inspect before each use; stop using immediately if any part appears worn, damaged, loose, or incorrectly installed.
1.3 Health & Age. Intended for adults (18+) in good health. Consult a qualified professional before starting or changing any exercise program. Keep away from children and pets.
1.4 Compatibility. You are responsible for confirming rack/mount compatibility, barbell dimensions, ceiling height/clearance, and weight ratings.
1.5 No Modifications. Do not modify a Product. Unauthorized modifications, improper installation, or misuse voids warranties.

2) Acknowledgment of Risks; Assumption of Risk

Strength equipment involves inherent risks (e.g., dropping weights, pinch points, falls) that can cause serious injury or death. You voluntarily assume all risks arising from purchase, installation, and use when not strictly following our instructions and warnings.

3) Release & Indemnity (maximum extent permitted by law)

Except where prohibited by law, you release and discharge Company and its affiliates from claims, losses, and damages arising out of your purchase, installation, or use when not used as instructed. You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company from third-party claims resulting from your misuse, modification, failure to follow instructions, or violation of these Terms. This does not release claims caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct.

4) Limited Warranty (U.S. nationwide; California overlay)

4.1 Coverage. For personal/home use, Products are warranted against material defects in workmanship and materials under normal, instructed use for 12 months (unless otherwise stated in writing) from delivery. For commercial/facility use, warranty is 90 days unless we state otherwise in writing.
4.2 Exclusions. Normal wear and tear; cosmetic damage; corrosion/rust; improper installation; misuse/abuse; use on incompatible racks/bars; overloading beyond ratings; unauthorized repairs or modifications; and use contrary to instructions are not covered.
4.3 How to Claim. Email info@bulletprooffitnessequipment.com with order number, photos/video, and a description. We may request additional info or return of parts for inspection.
4.4 Remedy. Our sole obligation and your exclusive remedy are repair or replacement of a defective part or, at our option, a refund of the purchase price of the affected Product.
4.5 Implied Warranties (U.S.). For U.S. consumers, we do not disclaim implied warranties; to the extent permitted by law, we limit their duration to the same duration as the express warranty above.
4.6 California consumers. Implied warranties are limited in duration to the shorter of the express warranty period or one (1) year, and never less than 60 days, to the extent allowed by California law.
4.7 No Other Warranties. Except as stated here and rights that cannot be limited by law, we make no other express warranties.

5) Returns & Refunds

Returns must follow our Return Policy (linked at checkout). Products must be in resalable condition with all hardware and packaging unless defective under Section 4.

6) Commercial/Gym Purchases

Facilities must ensure professional installation, documented inspections, and staff/customer training on safe use. We may require a signed facility waiver. Commercial orders may have different warranty/maintenance terms stated on the invoice or product page.

7) Safety Communications

We may provide manuals, videos, updates, and recall/safety notices electronically (email/SMS/QR). You agree to keep contact info current, review updates, and follow revised safety guidance.

8) Dispute Resolution (who this applies to and where)

8.1 U.S. consumers (including California).
(a) Small-Claims Option. If your dispute qualifies, you may choose to bring it in California small-claims court.
(b) Binding Arbitration; Rules. Except for small-claims matters and as otherwise required by law, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Products will be resolved by binding arbitration under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules before one arbitrator.
(c) Seat, Law & Venue (California). The arbitration seat/hearing location will be Los Angeles County, California, and California law applies.
(d) Public Injunctive Relief. Nothing here waives your right to seek public injunctive relief; such claims may proceed in court or be awarded by the arbitrator, as required by California law.
(e) Discovery & Fees. Discovery will be available as provided by applicable law and the AAA Consumer Rules. Arbitration fees are allocated under those Rules; the arbitrator may award fees/costs where permitted.
(f) Individual Proceedings Only. You and Company agree to individual proceedings; no class or representative actions, except where such waiver is prohibited by law.

8.2 Consumers outside the U.S.
If you reside outside the U.S., any mandatory consumer protection rules of your country/region apply in addition to these Terms. Where local law prohibits mandatory arbitration or class-action waivers in consumer contracts (e.g., Québec), Sections 8.1(b)–(f) do not apply to you; disputes may be brought in the courts available under your local law. Nothing in these Terms limits non-waivable rights in your jurisdiction.

9) Governing Law; Venue

Subject to Section 8, these Terms are governed by California law. For any court proceedings (e.g., small-claims or public-injunction claims), the exclusive venue is Los Angeles County, California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

10) Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, or consequential damages (including lost profits). Our total liability for any claim relating to a Product will not exceed the amount you actually paid for that Product. This does not limit liability that cannot be limited by law (e.g., personal injury caused by our gross negligence or willful misconduct).

11) International Shipments (duties, taxes, compliance)

International orders may be subject to import duties, taxes, and customs fees assessed by the destination country; these are your responsibility. Delivery times can be affected by customs clearance. Where local labeling/language rules apply (e.g., French in Québec), we will provide compliant documentation and labeling for Products shipped to that jurisdiction.

12) International Consumer Law Notices (your non-waivable local rights)

European Union / EEA (incl. Norway, Iceland).
Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights, including a minimum 2-year legal guarantee for lack of conformity, and a 14-day right of withdrawal for distance/online purchases (with exceptions set by EU law). We will honor these rights in addition to our Limited Warranty.

United Kingdom.
Nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, including the 30-day short-term right to reject faulty goods, and your 14-day cooling-off rights for most distance purchases under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (subject to exceptions).

Canada (outside Québec).
Provincial consumer laws may provide non-excludable warranties and remedies. Where a province prohibits mandatory arbitration or class-action waivers in consumer contracts, our arbitration/class-waiver provisions do not apply to those residents.

Canada (Québec).
For Québec consumers, pre-dispute mandatory arbitration and class-action waivers are prohibited in consumer contracts. Our arbitration/class-waiver provisions do not apply to Québec consumers, who may bring claims in court. Documentation, instructions, packaging, and warranty terms will be made available in French as required by the Charter of the French Language and related regulations.

Australia.
Your purchase comes with non-excludable consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law (ACL). In addition to our Limited Warranty, if we provide a “warranty against defects,” we include the required wording:

“Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.”
This wording appears with your invoice or in-box warranty card for Australian deliveries."

13) Miscellaneous

13.1 Severability. If any provision is unenforceable, the rest remain in effect.
13.2 No Assignment by Buyer without our consent.
13.3 Updates. We may update these Terms; the version agreed at purchase applies to that order.
13.4 Entire Agreement. These Terms, the Safety & Installation Guide, Return Policy, and any order confirmation are the entire agreement for your purchase.
