I, __________________________________________ the Customer, acknowledge and accept all of the terms and conditions set forth herein. The words “we”, “us” and “our” refer to YardArms Gunsmithing, LLC. The words “I”, “you”, “your” “them” refer to the customer.

No completion date can or will be given on any project. However, upon request, an approximation of the estimated time to completion may be given at our discretion. This estimated time to completion is non-binding and may change at any time due to extenuating factors without any notification to the customer. We reserve the right to process and complete work orders in whatever order we see fit solely based on our own discretion. We reserve the right to accept or reject any work order. We will provide periodic updates on your project upon request. You may inquire as to the status of the work order by email at any time. .

All parts required for your work order must be supplied by you or paid for in advance of work being performed. Work orders will not ship until all costs are paid for including shipping. We will provide an assessment of all parts that are required for the work order to be completed; however, this is subject to change at any time. If we determine the change in the parts required for completion to be material, then we will notify the you prior to purchasing the parts. If we determine the change in the parts required for completion to be immaterial, then we will purchase the parts without customer approval and add them on to the cost of the work order. At no point will we purchase parts that have a total value exceeding the value of the firearm. Labor prices may be quoted as a total or at an hourly rate as agreed upon by us, and the customer. We, will accept payment via cash, check, credit card, debit card, or Zelle. Returned checks are subject to a $35 fee.

No insurance is provided by us for your firearms or parts (while in transit to or on our premises) due to theft, flood, fire or other act of nature, war, or any other reason. Many insurance companies that insure firearms will cover the items while they are away at a gunsmith. The customer is responsible for insuring his or her firearm during the time it is in our possession.

Pick up of work orders is by appointment only and must be arranged prior to pick up.

All action and barrel work will require a test firing of your firearm upon completion of work. The price of the ammunition will be added onto your work order. Customer supplied ammunition is not allowed due to safety reasons. Furthermore, I, warrant herein that I am not requesting any alterations or modifications that violate any State or Federal law(s). ____________

(Initial)

All firearms that require or have been requested to be gauged are required to be scrupulously clean. If your firearm is not clean it will incur a cleaning charge. ____________ (Initial)

Processing Fees

All firearms that move through our shop are subject to processing fees. These fees cover overhead, background checks, as well as administrative and associated costs to conducting business. These fees are assessed as follows: Long Guns $35.00, Handguns $45.00, NFA items $100.00; and assessed per item.

Transfers

We will accept inbound transfers on your behalf, from private parties; dealers or distributors; however, we ask that you notify us prior to doing so. Failure to notify us can result in a situation called a “Blind transfer”. A Blind transfers occur when you purchase and have a firearm (or other item(s)) shipped to us and do not notify us prior to its receipt by us. This places an administrative burden on our shop which we seek to avoid. Blind transfers are charged at a rate of $100. You can eliminate blind transfer costs by contacting us prior to your firearm shipping. Transfers will only be done for the individual listed on the order paperwork.

Delays and Denials

Should a transferee be delayed by the NICS background check system, the firearm(s) will remain in our possession until the background check is a proceed. A delayed message means the FBI or Wisconsin DOJ needs to do additional research to verify the transferee’s background. If the FBI cannot make a determination (proceed or deny) within 3 business days of a background check, we could transfer the firearm per the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 after 3 business days; however, we will not transfer under these circumstances for 8 business days. Why do we wait 8 days? We wait 8 days to prevent you having to come back and surrender your firearm.

Should a transferee be denied by the NICS background check system, the firearm(s) will remain in the possession of YardArms Gunsmithing, LLC, until transferred or sold. It is the responsibility of the transferee to arrange for the firearm to be returned to the original seller. The transferee must contact us within 7 days to provide a shipping label, pay the $40 transfer fee, and any other packaging/shipping fees that may be applicable before the firearm is returned. If you (the transferee) fail to provide us with the requirements of this paragraph, we will sell your firearm to cover these fees and pay you the difference of the sales price minus any fees incurred. While it is possible to challenge a denial, we will not hold firearms during that process. All firearm purchases/transfers that are denied need to be returned to the original seller. If, for any reason, you are unable to send the firearm back to the original seller, we may offer you up to 50% of the MSRP for the firearm(s).

Storage

Storage fees will accrue beginning seven (7) days after your work order has been completed (or upon receipt of a transferred firearm by us on your behalf) at the rate of $2.00 per day. Blind transfers are assessed a $10 per day storage fee. When the storage fees (and associated transfer costs) meet or exceed the value of the item, it will be sold by us to recoup those costs.

Shipping

All firearms are shipped with "Adult signature required". No exceptions. We prefer to ship via UPS ground or express, the customer is responsible for paying the actual shipping charges incurred to include insurance and packaging materials as required.

All firearms can only be returned to the original owner or an FFL licensee, as required by law.

Forfeiture and Abandonment

Unless other arrangements are made, in writing, any firearms left at our facility for more than 30 days after written or verbal notification (letter, text message, email, voicemail) of job completion and request for final payment of balance; will be considered abandoned by you and may be sold by us to cover expenses. Failure to fully pay for work (to include parts and services) invoiced by us will constitute abandonment under this paragraph. Return of abandoned property is at our sole discretion. The proceeds of the sale of any abandoned property shall be made to you (the customer) minus any fees due to us within 30 days of those debts being satisfied.

Assumption of Risk

I am aware that alterations and modifications of firearms may be hazardous. I am voluntarily requesting that these activities take place with the full knowledge of the dangers involved which may include injury, death, dismemberment, and paralysis, and I hereby agree to accept any and all risks of injury or death and verify this statement by placing my signature on this contract. I recognize that by requesting that these changes occur, I am releasing the gunsmith; both individually and in any business form, from any liability should any accident occur because of the work performed by the gunsmith.

Severability

You may, at any time request the work order be returned prior to completion of agreed upon work. We will however assess the proper fee for the work already performed and any parts installed or placed on order by us, based on our discretion, at the rates and terms agreed upon previously by all parties. No agreed upon or implied discounts will be valid or accepted in these instances. We reserve the right to retain possession of the items subject to any work order until it has been fully compensated for the services, and parts we have provided, installed or completed.

Force Majeure

The time for that party’s performance will be extended for the period of the delay or failure to perform due to such occurrence, except that you will not be excused from the payment of any sums of money owed by you to us provided prior to the force majeure event.
