These Terms and Conditions govern the services provided by Deus Vult Defense (“we,” “us,” or “our”) to you (“Customer” or “you”). By submitting a firearm or requesting services, you agree to these Terms. We recommend consulting with a legal professional to customize these for your specific jurisdiction, as this is a general template and not legal advice. These Terms are effective as of 03/15/2026 and may be updated periodically.

1. Services and Scope of Work

• We provide gunsmithing services including repairs, modifications, customizations, refinishing, and installations as detailed in the work order.
• All work is performed based on the specifications provided in the written work order. Any changes must be approved in writing and may incur additional fees.
• Estimated turnaround times are provided but not guaranteed due to workload, parts availability, or unforeseen issues. We will notify you of any delays.

2. Customer Responsibilities and Representations

• You represent that you are at least 18 years old (or 21 for handguns where required by law) and legally authorized to own and possess the firearm(s) submitted.

• You acknowledge the inherent risks involved in gunsmithing, including potential damage to the firearm, malfunction, or personal injury from use. You voluntarily accept these risks.

• Returned firearms must be signed for by an adult; we will not leave packages unattended.

5. Warranties and Guarantees

• We warrant our workmanship against defects in materials or labor under normal use.
• Warranties do not cover misuse, neglect, unauthorized modifications, or normal wear and tear. Firearm manufacturer warranties may be voided by our work; check with the manufacturer.
• Parts warranties are limited to the manufacturer’s terms. We make no express or implied warranties beyond those stated.
• Any warranty claims must be submitted in writing with proof of service. Remedies are limited to repair or replacement at our discretion.

7. Abandonment of Property

• Firearms not picked up or paid for within 30 days of completion notification will be considered abandoned and may be sold to recover costs, per applicable state laws.
• We will attempt to contact you via provided information before deeming property abandoned, and reserve the right to resell firearm at our discretion 30 days after the completion notification.
