Please read these Guns.com Network Dealer Terms of Use and the hyperlinked policies referred to herein (collectively the "Dealer Terms of Use") carefully before using the Guns Dot Com, LLC (“Guns.com”) website and subdomains (collectively, the “Guns.com Site”), and other services offered by Guns.com. This document contains very important information regarding your rights and obligations, as well as conditions, limitations, and exclusions that might apply to you. Please read it carefully.

These Dealer Terms of Use require the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions.

These Dealer Terms of Use apply to all Dealers (as defined below). By listing Dealer Products (as defined below), or placing an order for products or services from the Guns.com Site, you affirm that you are of legal age to enter into this agreement, and you accept and are legally bound by these Dealer Terms of Use.

You may not list Dealer Products if you (a) do not agree to and comply with these Dealer Terms of Use, (b) are not a Dealer representative of at least 21 years of age, or (c) are prohibited from accessing or using the Guns.com Site or any of the Guns.com Site’s contents, goods or services by applicable Law.

We reserve the right to modify or terminate these Dealer Terms of Use, or modify the services we provide, at any time.

  1. Guns.com Online Marketplace. Guns.com has developed and operates an online marketplace at the Guns.com Site for the sale of firearms (“Products”) to Buyers (as defined below) where legally permissible in the United States of America, including Hawaii and Alaska but excluding U.S. territories, which operates in part with the use of a network of authorized dealers who have agreed with Guns.com, among other things, to list and make their inventory available for sale through the Guns.com Site by accepting the Dealer Terms of Use (each, a “Dealer”). Products listed for sale on the Guns.com Site are sourced from various places, including the inventories of wholesalers, dealers who have agreed to participate as Dealers in the Guns.com network of authorized dealers, and Guns.com’s own inventory of Products. Dealer’s participation in the network of dealers authorized by Guns.com is subject to the terms and conditions of these Dealer Terms of Use. The term “Buyer” as used herein means any natural person who is a poten
  2. Purchase and Sale of Products Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions of these Dealer Terms of Use, Dealer agrees to list and make some or all of its inventory of Products (each a “Dealer Product”) available for sale through the Guns.com Site. When a Dealer Product is sold through the Guns.com Site and Guns.com has collected payment from the Buyer of such Dealer Product, Guns.com will pay Dealer in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 below.
  3. Making an Offer on Used Products. Guns.com allows Buyers to negotiate and make offers directly to Dealers on used Products. The Dealer has the option to turn this feature off if they so choose. Offers on used Products constitute a direct negotiation between Dealers and Buyers. Guns.com does not influence or become involved in the negotiation of such offers, other than to facilitate communication between the Buyer and the Dealer. The amount of an offer is only seen by the individual Buyer and Dealer; offers are not made public on Guns.com. The process is as follows:
    1. The Buyer makes the initial offer.
    2. The Dealer will accept, decline or counteroffer.
    3. If the Dealer submits a counteroffer; then the Buyer will have an opportunity to accept, decline or counteroffer as well.
    4. In turn, the Dealer will have the final chance to counteroffer; or choose to accept/decline.
    5. The Buyer can only accept or decline the offer at this point.

Prior to a Dealer accepting an offer or making a counteroffer, the Dealer should ensure the used Product is still in inventory.

All offers and counteroffers by either party may be accepted, declined, or counteroffered within 36 hours. After 36 hours, the offer will be automatically declined as an expired offer. The time restarts at each step listed above. A Buyer will be blocked for 30 days from making any further offers on a specific used Gun after the offer process listed above. Guns.com will inform the Buyer once an offer or counteroffer on a used Gun is accepted. The item will be automatically put into the Buyer’s shopping cart on the Guns.com Site and the Buyer will have 36 hours to check out at the agreed price or the transaction will be voided. An order is not complete until the Buyer completes the checkout process on the Guns.com Site and the other requirements for sale set forth herein have been satisfied. If there are multiple Buyers and/or offers, the Buyer who first successfully completes the entire checkout process will be the rightful orderer of the used Gun.

5. Additional Terms Applicable to Auctions.

  1. Auctions. Dealers may choose to list and sell Dealer Products through an auction-style listing on the Guns.com Site, where users may place bids within the specified duration of the auction-style listing (an “Auction”). This Section 5 outlines terms and conditions that apply to Dealers that list a Dealer Product for sale by Auction. Except for provisions in other Sections that are on their face clearly inapplicable to Auctions, each other provision of these Dealer Terms of Use apply to Dealers participating in, and to Dealer Products sold by, the Auction functionality on the Guns.com Site described herein.
  2. Commitment to Sell. Dealers that list a Dealer Product for sale by Auction are committing to selling the Dealer Product by Auction. Once an Auction ends with a winner, the Dealer is required, subject to any terms applicable to the specific Auction, to fulfill the item per the outlined Dealer’s Responsibilities in other sections unless applicable Laws prohibits the Dealer from doing so. Once a Dealer lists a Dealer Product for sale by Auction, the Dealer will not sell the listed Dealer Product in any other manner unless the Auction does not result in a completed sale through no fault of the Dealer.
  3. No Reserve. Dealer agrees that any Dealer Product it chooses to list for sale by Auction shall be “without reserve” and Dealer is obligated to sell the applicable Dealer Product based on the final sale price determined by Auction. Guns.com does not guarantee any minimum bid or final sale price.
  4. No Direct Offers. Dealer Products listed for sale by Auction will not be eligible for separate direct offers and negotiations between Buyers and the Dealer otherwise permitted and described in Section 4, nor will such Dealer Products be permitted to be listed on the Guns.com Site for sale in the traditional fixed price manner.
  5. Auction Listings. Dealers are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of all information contained in Auction listings for their Dealer Products. Guns.com cannot and does not undertake to monitor all information contained in listings. Dealers are responsible for any mistakes or errors contained in listings for their Dealer Products.
  6. Communications with Guns.com Customers. All potential Buyers using the Guns.com Site should be considered Guns.com customers. Dealers may only communicate with potential Buyers using the Guns.com Site through the Guns.com Q&A messaging board. Dealers should respond to all questions from potential Buyers within 24 hours, 7 days a week.
  7. Boosted and Featured Auctions. Dealers may elect to have their Auction listings “Boosted” or “Showcased” as described in the process for creating an Auction listing in the Dealer Portal. Boosted and Showcased Auction listings are performance based and the additional fees associated with such listings will be applied when the firearm sells. Once a Dealer elects to have a Dealer Product Boosted or Showcased, it cannot be undone, and the Boosted or Showcased status (including the associated fees) will follow the firearm (based on serial number) and apply regardless of whether the Dealer Product sells during the Auction or another method.
  8. Duration; Anti-Sniping Extensions. Dealers will select the duration of each Dealer Product they list for Auction, which may vary but must be within the range of duration permitted by Guns.com displayed when creating an Auction listing in the Dealer Portal. Regardless of the duration selected by the Dealer, if a bid is placed within fifteen (15) minutes of the end of the Auction as selected by the Dealer, the Auction will automatically be extended for an additional fifteen (15) minutes. Auctions may be ended early in the event a Buyer selects the “Buy-it-Now” feature (if available) and completes checkout.
  9. Buy Now Price. Dealers will have the option to include a “Buy Now” feature to a Dealer Product listed for Auction which allows a Buyer to purchase the Dealer Product immediately at a set price specified by the Dealer without waiting for the Auction to end or competing with other bidders. Buy Now prices must be set at least ten percent (10%) higher than the starting bid price. Once the high bid in an Auction is within five percent (5%) of the Buy Now price, the Buy Now price will automatically be removed from the listing.
  10. Fulfillment. Dealers are required to fulfill any bid determined by Guns.com to be the winning bid of the Dealer Product listed for sale by Auction. Dealers must ship the Dealer Product to the winning bidders selected FFL Dealer subject to and in accordance with applicable Laws. Any Dealer that fails to fulfill the winning bid of an Auction will be removed from the Guns.com Dealer Network and prohibited from participating in Auctions.
  11. Non-Interference. Dealers are strictly prohibited from bidding on their own Dealer Products offered for sale by Auction. Any Dealer found placing bids on their own Auctions will be removed from the Guns.com Dealer Network.
  12. Functionality; Terminated Auctions. Subject to these Dealer Terms of Use, Dealers may use the Auction feature of the Guns.com Site as service in order to sell Dealer Products. However, Guns.com does not represent, warrant, or guarantee that the Auction functionality of the Guns.com Site will function exactly as described or meet any performance or uptime standards.
  13. Suspension of Service. Guns.com reserves the right to suspend service or suspend or terminate the Dealer from the Guns.com Dealer Network if the Dealer is found to be in violation of these Dealer Terms of use, engaged in fraudulent conduct, or otherwise acting in bad faith.

7. Shipments; Delivery; Title and Risk of Loss.

  1. As between Dealer and Guns.com, Guns.com is responsible for all shipping costs and methods for Products purchased from the Guns.com Site, including but not limited to, transfers between Dealers; provided, however, in the event of a Dealer At-Fault Return, the Dealer shall be responsible for reimbursing Guns.com the Dealer At-Fault Return Fee as discussed in Section 8a(ii) below.
  2. Guns.com will electronically provide the Dealer with all necessary paperwork, including:
    1. the receiving Dealer’s license (if applicable),
    2. the shipping labels, and
    3. related document enclosures.
  3. Dealer will only use the shipping labels provided by Guns.com for all Product transfers including sales, returns, or other shipments related to any Guns.com transaction. Failure to use Guns.com provided shipping labels will result in the forfeiture of the Guns.com payment of shipping costs. Guns.com will not reimburse Dealers for shipping costs.

8. Returns and Refunds.

  1. The Guns.com Returns and Refunds Policy is handled directly by Guns.com and the Dealer is not responsible for taking sold and delivered Product back into inventory, with the only exceptions being listed below. As such, any and all return shipping and restocking fees will be collected and retained by Guns.com.
    1. Exception Policy regarding state legal prohibitions. Guns.com has a compliance protocol in place to help prevent the shipment of Products to jurisdictions prohibited by law. However, should there be a mistake and a Product is shipped to a jurisdiction in which the Product is prohibited, Guns.com will pay for the return shipping and the Dealer is expected to take the Product back into inventory without any restocking fees assessed to Guns.com or the Buyer, and the Buyer will be refunded the purchase price in full. Where Dealer has been paid for a Dealer Product sold through the Guns.com Site and Guns.com approves the return of that item, Guns.com will require the Dealer to send an ACH payment to Guns.com in the amount of the Dealer Commission paid on the Product.
    2. Exception Policy regarding Dealer at-fault returns. In the event Products are returned due to Dealer misrepresentation or mislabeling of Products, misleading Product description and/or condition (including new firearms not in new condition), or returned due to missing accessory items or incomplete shipment (“Dealer At-Fault Returns”), then Guns.com will inspect the Products to determine if the return constitutes a Dealer At-Fault Return. Upon confirmation of a Dealer At-Fault Return, Guns.com will request a payment from the selling Dealer in the form of a check to include: (i) the commission paid to the selling Dealer for such returned Products plus (ii) a $75.00 return processing fee (the “Dealer At-Fault Return Fee”). Once Guns.com receives the Dealer At-Fault Return Fee, Guns.com will ship the returned Products back to the selling Dealer. If the Dealer At-Fault Return Fee is not received within two (2) weeks of Guns.com sending confirmation to Dealer of the Dealer At-Fault Return, Guns.com may temporarily suspend Dealer’s account. If the problem is not resolved within thirty (30) days, Dealer’s account may be permanently suspended. 
  2. Guns.com will accept the return of Products with mechanical defects for a full refund, provided such return is made within 3 calendar days of transfer of the Product to Buyer, and provided such Products are returned in their original condition. After 3 calendar days, all sales are final. This Returns and Refunds Policy is offered by Guns.com and Product returns are therefore sent directly to Guns.com. Buyers should contact Guns.com directly within 3 calendar days for a return shipping label.
  3. The terms and conditions found in this Section 8, supersede all Dealer return, refund and warranty policies.
