  1. FIREARMS SAFETY

I certify that I have read and agree to the following safety rules when handling a firearm, ammunition or firearm:

(a)   Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction.  This means that the firearm’s muzzle is pointed in a direction so that even if it were to discharge it would not cause injury or damage. You are responsible for every round fired from a gun you are holding.

(b)   Keep your finger off the trigger until ready you are to shoot.

(c)   Keep the firearm unloaded until ready to use.

(d)   When you pick up a firearm, check that the mechanical safety is engaged, and if not, engage it.   Extract the magazine if a magazine is in the firearm.  Then check to see if the firearm is loaded by observing the chamber, the bolt, and the magazine well to ensure that no ammunition is in the firearm. If you do not know how to operate the firearm to perform these checks, get help from someone who does and do not handle the firearm until you know how to safely operate it.

(e)   Know your target and what is beyond. Be absolutely sure you have identified your target beyond any doubt, and be aware of the area beyond your target. To do so, observe your prospective area of fire before you shoot.

(f)    Before handling a firearm, learn how it operates. Know its basic parts, how to safely open and close the action and remove any ammunition from the firearm or magazine. A firearm’s mechanical safety is never foolproof.

(g)   Be sure the firearm is safe to operate. If there is any question concerning a firearm’s ability to function, take the firearms to a knowledgeable gunsmith.

 (h)   Use only the correct ammunition for the firearm. Only cartridges designed for a particular firearm can be fired safely in that firearm.

 (i)     Wear eye and ear protection when shooting.

 (j)     Never use alcohol or any drugs before or while shooting.

 (k)   Store firearms so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons and obey all laws that govern access to firearms by minors.

 (l)     Clean and maintain your firearm regularly.  Taking proper care of a firearm promotes safe usage of the firearm, maintains its value, and extends its life. Clean your firearm after each use.  Any firearm that has been in storage should be cleaned before shooting.  Before cleaning your firearm, ensure that it is unloaded and that no ammunition is present in the cleaning area.

Consider adding an arbitration clause to your mobile terms, similar to the clause located below. We recommend consulting with your legal team for guidance on appropriate placement in mobile terms and if there is anything else they would like to add to the clause.

 

Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Please read this carefully.  It affects your rights. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of Bear Creek Arsenal’s services will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than court.

This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be broadly interpreted, and expressly includes claims brought under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227 et seq., or any other statute, regulation, or legal or equitable theory.  You and Bear Creek Arsenal hereby agree that the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. 1, et seq. (“FAA”) applies to this agreement to arbitrate, and governs all questions of whether a dispute is subject to arbitration.  Unless you and we agree otherwise in writing, arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association’s Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time of filing of the arbitration (the “AAA’s Rules”).  However, just as a court would, the arbitrator or arbitrators must honor the terms and limitations in this Agreement, and can award damages and relief (including any attorneys’ fees) authorized by law and/or the AAA’s Rules.  The arbitration decision and award is final and binding, with some exceptions under the FAA, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND BEAR CREEK ARSENAL ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING.

THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR CLASS ARBITRATIONS EVEN IF THE PROCEDURES OR RULES OF THE AAA WOULD.  RATHER, YOU AND WE ARE ONLY ENTITLED TO PURSUE ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL, BILATERAL BASIS.  FURTHER, AND UNLESS YOU AND BEAR CREEK ARSENAL AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE INDIVIDUAL PARTY’S CLAIMS WITH ANY OTHER PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING.

You and Bear Creek Arsenal are each responsible for our respective costs relating to counsel, experts, and witnesses, as well as any other costs relating to the arbitration.  Bear Creek Arsenal, however, will pay for the arbitration administrative or filing fees, including the arbitrator and/or other AAA case management fees, for any claim seeking $75,000 or less, unless the claim is determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous.  Otherwise, the AAA’s Rules regarding costs and payment apply.

This agreement to arbitrate does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief against us on your behalf.

If any term of this Section (Arbitration and Class Action Waiveris to any extent illegal, otherwise invalid, or incapable of being enforced, such term shall be excluded to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability; all other terms hereof shall remain in full force and effect; and, to the extent permitted and possible, the invalid or unenforceable term shall be deemed replaced by a term that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of such invalid or unenforceable term.  If application of this Severability provision should materially and adversely affect the economic substance of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Party adversely impacted shall be entitled to compensation for such adverse impact, provided the reason for the invalidity or unenforceability of a term is not due to serious misconduct by the Party seeking such compensation.

Changes to Terms

These Mobile Terms and Conditions are subject to change at any time without notice.
