By accessing or using Cold Bore Connections, creating an account, purchasing a membership, or posting a listing, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Services.

1. WHAT COLD BORE CONNECTIONS IS

Cold Bore Connections is an online platform designed to connect members of the hunting, fishing, shooting, and outdoor community through classifieds, an outdoor business directory, business profiles, and related resources.

Cold Bore Connections provides a venue for users and businesses to connect.

Cold Bore Connections is not the buyer, seller, dealer, broker, agent, manufacturer, distributor, shipper, or transferor of items advertised by users.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, Cold Bore Connections does not participate in, process, supervise, or complete transactions between buyers and sellers.

2. ELIGIBILITY

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account, post a classified advertisement, contact a seller through member-only features, or otherwise use transaction-related portions of Cold Bore Connections.

Certain products may be subject to additional federal, state, or local age, residency, licensing, possession, transfer, or other legal requirements.

Each user is responsible for determining whether they are legally permitted to buy, sell, advertise, possess, ship, receive, or transfer an item.

3. COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LAWS

Users are solely responsible for complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.

This includes laws and regulations concerning firearms, ammunition, firearm components, hunting and fishing equipment, wildlife products, knives, archery equipment, and other regulated goods or services.

Cold Bore Connections does not provide legal advice and does not determine whether a particular transaction is legal for a particular buyer or seller.

4. FIREARMS AND REGULATED ITEMS

Cold Bore Connections is a classified advertising and connection platform that provides a venue for buyers and sellers to connect. Cold Bore Connections is not a party to transactions between users.

Cold Bore Connections does not sell, purchase, possess, ship, receive, deliver, or transfer firearms advertised through user classifieds.

Cold Bore Connections is not a federally licensed firearms dealer ("FFL") and does not act as an FFL, firearm dealer, transfer agent, broker, or intermediary in transactions between users.

Buyers and sellers are solely responsible for determining and complying with all applicable federal, state, and local laws governing firearm and other regulated-item transactions, including requirements relating to age, eligibility, background checks, residency, possession, shipping, interstate transactions, and transfer through an FFL when required.

Users may not use Cold Bore Connections to avoid, circumvent, or facilitate the violation of any law or legally required firearm-transfer procedure.

Cold Bore Connections does not determine, verify, represent, or guarantee that any particular firearm, regulated item, buyer, seller, listing, shipment, transfer, or proposed transaction is lawful.

The presence of a listing on Cold Bore Connections does not constitute approval, verification, or confirmation of the legality of the item or proposed transaction.

Each buyer and seller is solely responsible for determining the laws applicable to their transaction before completing it.

5. CLASSIFIED LISTINGS

Users may advertise only items they legally own or are otherwise legally authorized to sell or advertise.

Listings must be truthful and reasonably accurate.

Users may not knowingly misrepresent an item's condition, ownership, price, location, description, photographs, or other material information.

Cold Bore Connections may establish posting limits, categories, listing requirements, and additional classified rules.

Cold Bore Connections reserves the right to reject, remove, edit, restrict, or disable a listing that violates these Terms, platform policies, applicable law, or that Cold Bore Connections reasonably determines is inappropriate for the platform.

Users should independently verify information and use appropriate precautions before exchanging money, merchandise, financial information, or other personal information.

Users should report suspected fraud, scams, stolen property, or illegal activity to Cold Bore Connections.

9. BUSINESS DIRECTORY AND BUSINESS PROFILES

Businesses are responsible for the accuracy of information they submit, including contact information, services, products, hours, locations, licenses, and other business information.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, inclusion of a business in the Cold Bore Connections directory does not constitute a guarantee, certification, warranty, or endorsement of that business or its products or services.

Users are responsible for conducting their own evaluation of a business before entering into a transaction.

10. MEMBERSHIPS AND FEES

Certain Cold Bore Connections features require a paid membership, business membership, advertising fee, or other payment.

Membership prices, benefits, posting limits, and other applicable terms will be disclosed at the time of purchase.

Cold Bore Connections may change membership pricing or features from time to time. Changes will not alter the price of an already-paid membership period unless expressly agreed to by the member.

11. AUTOMATIC RENEWAL

Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase, annual paid memberships automatically renew at the end of each membership term using the payment method on file.

Cold Bore Connections will provide reasonable advance notice of an upcoming automatic renewal. The notice will identify the upcoming renewal and, where required or appropriate, the amount that will be charged.

Members may cancel automatic renewal before the applicable renewal date to prevent the next membership charge.

Cancellation stops future renewals but does not terminate the member's access for the remainder of an already-paid membership period.

If Cold Bore Connections materially changes the renewal price, members will be notified before the new price is charged.

Automatic-renewal terms will also be disclosed during the membership purchase process as required by applicable law.

12. CANCELLATIONS AND REFUNDS

Members may cancel future automatic renewal at any time before the applicable renewal date.

Unless otherwise stated at the time of purchase or required by applicable law, membership fees are non-refundable once the applicable paid membership period has begun.

Cancellation does not result in a prorated refund for the unused portion of an existing membership term unless required by law.

13. BUSINESS AND COMMERCIAL ACCOUNTS

Individual memberships are intended for personal, non-commercial use.

Businesses, dealers, retailers, outfitters, guides, service providers, manufacturers, and other commercial operations may be required to maintain an appropriate Cold Bore Connections business membership.

Cold Bore Connections reserves the right to restrict or reclassify an account that is being used primarily for commercial purposes under an individual membership.

14. EXCLUSIVE BUSINESS ARRANGEMENTS

Certain business programs, sponsorships, category partnerships, or exclusive arrangements may be governed by additional written terms.

Where separate written terms exist, those terms control with respect to that particular business relationship if they conflict with these general Terms.

Any applicable renewal, cancellation, exclusivity, territory, category, or notice requirements for such arrangements will be stated in the applicable agreement.

15. ACCOUNT RESPONSIBILITY

Users are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of their account credentials and for activity conducted through their accounts.

Users must provide reasonably accurate information when creating and maintaining an account.

Unauthorized account access should be reported to Cold Bore Connections promptly.

16. MODERATION AND ACCOUNT ENFORCEMENT

Cold Bore Connections reserves the right to moderate the platform and enforce these Terms.

Cold Bore Connections may remove content or listings, restrict features, suspend accounts, terminate accounts, or deny access when it reasonably believes a user has violated these Terms, applicable platform policies, applicable law, or the rights or safety of others.

Cold Bore Connections is not obligated to publish or continue displaying any particular listing, advertisement, business profile, or other user content.
