• any other existing, modified, experimental or future functionality made available by ARMTED,

collectively, the “Services”.

The Services available at any particular time may differ between users, account types, devices, platforms, countries, states, provinces or other jurisdictions.

The description of a feature or Service in these Terms, on an ARMTED website, in an application, in promotional materials or elsewhere does not constitute a guarantee that such feature or Service will be available continuously, indefinitely or in any particular location.

1.2. Operator

The Services are operated by Integral dot sp. z o.o. , with its registered office at 0001158818 registered under [REGISTRATION NUMBER], VAT/tax number PL1133099535 (“ARMTED”, “we”, “us” or “our”).

Additional corporate, legal and contact information is available in our Legal Notice.

1.3. Agreement with ARMTED

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of ARMTED and the Services.

By creating an ARMTED account, or where applicable by otherwise expressly accepting these Terms, you enter into a legally binding agreement with ARMTED and agree to comply with these Terms and with the policies, rules and additional terms incorporated into or applicable alongside them.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not create an account or use any Service for which acceptance of these Terms is required.

Certain Services, activities or categories of content may be subject to additional terms, policies, declarations, eligibility requirements or restrictions. ARMTED may require separate acceptance or confirmation of such terms before you access or use the relevant Service.

1.4. ARMTED Rules and Related Documents

Your use of ARMTED may also be governed by our:

• Community Guidelines;

• Listing Policy;

• Firearms Listing Policy;

• Paid Services Terms;

• Booking Terms;

• Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy;

• applicable listing compliance declarations; and

• applicable regional, national, state, provincial or other jurisdiction-specific supplements.

These documents may supplement these Terms and, where expressly stated, form part of the contractual rules governing your use of ARMTED.

Some documents or policies apply only when you use a particular Service or perform a particular action.

Our Privacy Policy explains how ARMTED collects and uses personal data, including how data may be used to operate, secure, analyze, develop, improve and personalize the Services and, where permitted by applicable law, to select, rank, personalize, measure and present content, recommendations, promotions and advertising.

Our Cookie Policy provides additional information concerning cookies and similar technologies.

Where applicable law requires separate consent for a particular processing activity, advertising technology, cookie, device identifier or similar technology, acceptance of these Terms does not replace that consent.

1.5. Relationship Between General and Specific Terms

These Terms establish the general rules governing your relationship with ARMTED.

Additional terms or policies governing a particular Service apply in addition to these Terms. In the event of a conflict, provisions specifically governing the relevant Service or activity will prevail in relation to that Service or activity, unless mandatory applicable law requires otherwise.

Jurisdiction-specific supplements may add to, modify or override provisions of these Terms where necessary to address mandatory local requirements.

Nothing in these Terms limits any right that applicable law does not permit you to waive.

1.6. ARMTED’s Role as a Platform

Unless expressly stated otherwise for a particular Service, ARMTED provides technology and infrastructure through which users, businesses and other third parties may create, publish, discover, organize, recommend, communicate about or otherwise interact with content, listings, products, businesses, locations, events and services.

ARMTED does not, merely by operating the platform or displaying, organizing, recommending or promoting content or a listing:

• become the seller, buyer, owner, manufacturer, importer or distributor of an item displayed by a user or third party;

• take ownership, possession or custody of firearms, ammunition or other items displayed in listings;

• become a party to an agreement or transaction concluded independently between users or between a user and a third party;

• conduct or complete the legal transfer of firearms or other regulated items on behalf of users;

• guarantee the legality, safety, quality, authenticity, condition, availability or suitability of any item, service, listing or User Content;

• guarantee that a user or third party possesses any licence, permit, authorization, qualification or legal capacity required for a particular activity;

• guarantee the accuracy, completeness, currency or reliability of information supplied by users or third parties; or

• assume responsibility for the acts, omissions, representations or contractual obligations of users or third parties.

Any verification, badge, status, rating, review, recommendation, ranking, moderation decision or other information displayed by ARMTED does not constitute a guarantee, certification or endorsement by ARMTED unless ARMTED expressly states otherwise.

Users remain responsible for determining and complying with the laws, licences, permits, eligibility requirements, transfer procedures and other obligations applicable to their activities.

Specific rules concerning listings, firearms and other regulated items are contained in the Listing Policy, Firearms Listing Policy and applicable jurisdiction-specific supplements.

1.7. User Content and Rights Granted to ARMTED

ARMTED enables users and businesses to create, upload, submit, publish, transmit or otherwise make available photographs, videos, audiovisual materials, posts, comments, reviews, descriptions, listing materials, profile information and other content (collectively, “User Content”).

You retain ownership of intellectual property rights that you hold in your User Content.

However, by uploading, submitting, publishing or otherwise making User Content available through ARMTED, you grant ARMTED rights to use that User Content as further described in these Terms.

Those rights are intended to enable ARMTED to operate the Services and also to organize, develop, improve, expand, promote and market ARMTED and its Services.

Subject to the detailed licence provisions in Section 4 (User Content), ARMTED may host, store, reproduce, copy, display, publish, distribute, communicate, transmit, format, resize, crop, compress, transcode, create thumbnails, previews and excerpts from, adapt and otherwise use eligible User Content, including photographs and videos.

Such use may include the use of eligible User Content in connection with:

• ARMTED catalogues, databases and reference materials;

• firearm, product, manufacturer and model pages;

• listings and search results;

• recommendations and discovery features;

• editorial and informational materials;

• ARMTED websites and applications;

• ARMTED’s official social media channels;

• presentations;

• promotional campaigns;

• advertising and marketing materials promoting ARMTED or its Services; and

• other communications concerning ARMTED and its Services.

For example, a photograph or video of a firearm uploaded by a user in connection with a post or listing may, subject to Section 4, be reused by ARMTED to illustrate that firearm, its manufacturer, model or category in an ARMTED catalogue, database, website, application, social media publication or promotional material.

ARMTED may make reasonable technical, visual and editorial modifications necessary or useful for such purposes, including cropping, resizing, formatting, compression, transcoding, creating thumbnails, extracting still frames or excerpts and adapting the material for different devices, media and presentation formats.

The detailed scope, duration, territorial reach, sublicensing rights, continued uses following removal of content and other conditions of this licence, as well as your representations and warranties concerning your authority to grant it, are set out in Section 4.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of your User Content to ARMTED.

1.8. Personalization, Recommendations, Commercial Content and Advertising

ARMTED may organize, select, filter, rank, recommend and present content differently to different users.

Subject to the Privacy Policy, your privacy settings and applicable law, ARMTED may use information available to it in connection with your account and your use of the Services to operate, secure, analyze, develop, improve and personalize ARMTED.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, this may include information and signals relating to:

• content you create, view or interact with;

• accounts, businesses, groups or other entities you follow or interact with;

• searches and search results;

• interests and preferences;

• listings viewed, created, saved or interacted with;

• events, ranges, clubs, businesses and services viewed or interacted with;

• bookings and related interactions;

• language and market;

• general activity and usage patterns;

• approximate or precise location where applicable;

• device and technical information; and

• other information described in the Privacy Policy.

ARMTED may use such information and signals, where permitted by applicable law, to:

• personalize feeds and other areas of the Services;

• rank search and discovery results;

• recommend posts, users, listings, businesses, ranges, clubs, events, groups, products, services or other content;

• predict the relevance of content to particular users;

• improve recommendation and discovery systems;

• develop and improve ARMTED products and features;

• understand and measure use of the Services;

• detect fraud, abuse and misuse;

• measure the performance of content and features;

• select, rank and present advertising, sponsored, promoted and other commercial content;

• determine which advertising or promotional content may be more relevant to particular users or audiences; and

• measure and improve the effectiveness of advertising and promotional campaigns.

ARMTED may display advertising, sponsored content, promoted listings, promoted posts, promoted events, commercial recommendations and other promotional content within or alongside other Services and User Content.

Subject to applicable law, the selection, ranking and presentation of such content may take into account information and signals available to ARMTED concerning the user, context, location, interests, activity or use of the Services.

Where applicable law requires consent before particular personal data, cookies, device identifiers or similar technologies may be used for advertising, analytics, personalization or tracking, ARMTED will obtain such consent separately. Where required, users will also be able to refuse or withdraw that consent.

Further information concerning the personal data used by ARMTED, purposes and legal bases of processing, recipients, retention periods and user rights is provided in the Privacy Policy.

1.9. Modification, Suspension and Discontinuation of Services

ARMTED is an evolving platform. Features and Services are not permanent merely because they are currently available.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED reserves the right at any time to introduce, enable, disable, modify, replace, restrict, suspend, withdraw or permanently discontinue any Service, feature or functionality, in whole or in part.

This includes, without limitation, the right to modify, suspend or discontinue:

• booking functionality;

• listings or particular categories of listings;

• messaging;

• groups and events;

• social or community features;

• catalogue functionality;

• maps and discovery features;

• recommendations;

• business or Partners functionality;

• paid or promotional Services;

• integrations with third-party services;

• availability of a feature in a particular country, state, market, device or application; and

• any other current or future ARMTED functionality.

ARMTED may make such changes for legal, regulatory, safety, security, technical, operational, commercial, strategic or other legitimate reasons.

Unless required by applicable law or expressly agreed otherwise in relation to a particular paid Service, ARMTED does not undertake to maintain any particular free Service, feature, integration or functionality for any minimum period.

The fact that a Service or feature has previously been available does not create a right to its continued availability.

Where mandatory applicable law or specific terms governing a paid Service require prior notice, continued performance, reimbursement or another remedy following a change or discontinuation, ARMTED will comply with those requirements.

1.10. Availability of ARMTED

ARMTED aims to provide reliable Services but does not guarantee uninterrupted, continuous, error-free, secure or permanent availability of ARMTED or any particular Service or feature.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED does not guarantee that:

• the Services will be available at any particular time or location;

• the Services will operate without interruptions, delays, errors or defects;

• any defect or interruption will be corrected within a particular period;

• any particular functionality will remain available;

• third-party integrations will remain operational;

• messages, notifications or other communications will always be delivered;

• bookings, listings, posts or other content will always be accessible;

• stored or displayed information will always be available without interruption; or

• the Services will be compatible with every device, operating system, browser, network or third-party service.

The Services may be temporarily or permanently unavailable as a result of, among other things, maintenance, updates, technical failures, infrastructure failures, cyber incidents, network problems, third-party service failures, legal or regulatory requirements, force majeure or decisions by ARMTED to modify or discontinue a Service.

ARMTED may perform maintenance, updates or changes with or without advance notice where reasonably necessary, subject to mandatory applicable law.

Users should not rely on ARMTED as the sole means of storing information or as the sole means of accessing information required for safety-critical, legally required or time-critical activities.

1.11. No Guarantee of Booking, Listing or Third-Party Service Availability

The availability of a booking slot, shooting range, business, event, listing, product, service or other third-party offering displayed through ARMTED may depend on information supplied by third parties.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, ARMTED does not guarantee that any displayed availability, price, opening time, schedule, inventory, listing, service or other third-party information is current, complete or accurate.

ARMTED does not guarantee that:

• a booking can be made or completed;

• a booking will be accepted or fulfilled by a third-party provider;

• a particular range, business or service will be open or available;

• a listed item remains available;

• a user or business will respond to a message or inquiry; or

• a third party will perform any agreement or obligation.

The specific contractual rules applicable to bookings are set out in the Booking Terms.

1.12. Ranking, Reach and Visibility

Publishing content on ARMTED does not create a right to any particular audience, distribution, search position, recommendation, ranking, engagement or level of visibility.

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED determines how content is organized, categorized, indexed, ranked, recommended and displayed within the Services.

ARMTED may use automated systems and other processes to determine the relevance, ordering and distribution of content.

Content may receive greater or lower visibility or cease to be displayed as a result of, among other things:

• relevance and recommendation systems;

• user preferences;

• geographic relevance;

• language;

• content quality or completeness;

• recency;

• moderation;

• reports or safety signals;

• legal requirements;

• expiry of listings or events;

• paid promotion;

• changes to ARMTED’s products or algorithms; or

• other legitimate operational or commercial factors.

Except where expressly agreed as part of a paid Service, ARMTED does not guarantee any number of impressions, views, clicks, interactions, inquiries, bookings, contacts or other results.

1.13. Testing and Experimental Features

ARMTED may test new or modified features, interfaces, recommendation systems, ranking systems, commercial models and other functionality.

As part of such testing, different users may receive different features, functionality, interfaces, content ordering or versions of the Services.

Experimental features may be introduced, modified or removed at any time and may contain errors or operate differently from generally available Services.

Participation in or access to a test does not create a right to continued access to the tested functionality.

1.14. Mandatory Law

Nothing in these Terms is intended to exclude, restrict or waive any right, remedy, warranty, guarantee or protection that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or waived under applicable law.

If you are entitled to mandatory consumer, privacy or other statutory protections in your jurisdiction, those protections continue to apply notwithstanding any provision of these Terms.

Where a provision of these Terms conflicts with mandatory law applicable to you, that mandatory law will prevail only to the extent of that conflict.

2. Eligibility and Your Account

2.1. Eligibility to Use ARMTED

You may create and maintain an ARMTED account only if you are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement with ARMTED under the laws applicable to you and are not otherwise prohibited from using the Services.

Certain Services, content, listings or activities available through ARMTED may be subject to additional eligibility requirements, including requirements based on age, location, legal capacity, licences, permits, authorizations, professional status or other conditions imposed by applicable law or ARMTED policies.

Eligibility to maintain an ARMTED account does not necessarily mean that you are eligible to use every Service or access every category of content available through ARMTED.

ARMTED may restrict particular Services, features, listings or categories of content to users who satisfy additional requirements.

You are responsible for ensuring that you are legally permitted to use the Services available to you.

2.2. Age Requirements

The minimum age required to create an ARMTED account or use a particular Service may vary depending on the user’s jurisdiction and the nature of the relevant Service.

Where applicable law, platform requirements or ARMTED policies impose a minimum age for a particular activity, product, listing or Service, you must satisfy that requirement before participating in that activity or using that Service.

In particular, access to an ARMTED account does not constitute confirmation that you are legally entitled to purchase, possess, use, sell, advertise, transfer or otherwise deal with firearms, ammunition or any other regulated item.

You are solely responsible for determining whether you satisfy all age and other eligibility requirements applicable to such activities.

ARMTED may implement age-related restrictions or verification mechanisms where required or considered appropriate and may modify those mechanisms as legal, regulatory, safety or operational requirements evolve.

2.3. Account Registration

You must provide information requested by ARMTED when creating or maintaining an account.

The information you provide must be accurate, current and not intentionally misleading.

You may not:

• create an account using another person’s identity without authorization;

• impersonate another person or entity;

• knowingly provide false or materially misleading account information;

• create an account for the purpose of circumventing a suspension, restriction or ban;

• sell, rent or otherwise commercially transfer an account without ARMTED’s prior authorization; or

• use automated or fraudulent methods to create accounts.

ARMTED may determine which information is required to create or maintain an account and may change registration requirements from time to time.

ARMTED may refuse registration or continued use of an account where reasonably necessary to protect ARMTED, its users, third parties or the integrity of the Services, subject to applicable law.

2.4. Account Information

You are responsible for keeping information associated with your account reasonably accurate and up to date where its accuracy is relevant to the operation, security or lawful use of the Services.

Depending on the Services you use, ARMTED may request or require information such as your name, username, email address, telephone number, location, business information or other information reasonably necessary for the relevant Service.

ARMTED may restrict access to particular Services until required information has been provided or verified.

Providing information to ARMTED does not require ARMTED to independently verify that information unless applicable law or ARMTED expressly provides otherwise.

2.5. Account Security

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality and security of your authentication credentials and for taking reasonable measures to prevent unauthorized access to your account.

You must not knowingly allow another person to use your personal account in a manner contrary to these Terms.

You must notify ARMTED without undue delay if you know or reasonably suspect that:

• your account has been accessed without authorization;

• your password, authentication token or other credential has been compromised;

• another person is using your account without permission; or

• there has been another security incident affecting your account.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you are responsible for activity conducted through your account where that activity results from your intentional conduct or your failure to take reasonable measures to protect your account.

ARMTED is not responsible for losses resulting from unauthorized access caused by circumstances attributable to the user, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

2.6. Verification

ARMTED may, but is not generally required to, verify information provided by users.

Where ARMTED considers verification appropriate for legal, regulatory, security, safety, fraud-prevention, trust or operational reasons, ARMTED may require additional information or evidence before allowing an account to be created, maintained or used for particular Services.

Depending on the circumstances, this may include verification of:

• email address;

• telephone number;

• identity;

• age;

• location or jurisdiction;

• business identity or authority to represent a business;

• licences, permits, registrations or professional qualifications; or

• other information relevant to a particular Service.

ARMTED may use third-party verification providers for these purposes where appropriate.

If requested verification is not completed, cannot reasonably be completed, produces inconsistent information or gives ARMTED reasonable grounds to suspect fraud, abuse, illegality or circumvention of ARMTED rules, ARMTED may refuse, restrict or suspend access to the relevant account or Service.

Any verification performed by ARMTED is limited to the purpose for which it is performed.

A verification status, badge or other indication displayed by ARMTED does not constitute a guarantee, endorsement or certification of a user’s identity, reliability, legal status, licences, qualifications, products, services or conduct unless ARMTED expressly states otherwise.

2.7. Responsibility for Legal Eligibility

ARMTED does not determine whether a user is legally entitled to purchase, sell, possess, carry, use, advertise, import, export, manufacture, repair, transfer or otherwise deal with firearms, ammunition, accessories or other regulated items unless ARMTED expressly undertakes a specific verification for that purpose.

You are responsible for knowing and complying with the laws and regulations applicable to you and to your activities.

This responsibility may include determining requirements based on:

• your country, state, province or other jurisdiction;

• the location of another person involved;

• the location of an item;

• the type or classification of an item;

• your age;

• licences, permits or authorizations;

• registration requirements;

• mandatory background checks;

• required intermediaries or licensed dealers;

• transportation or delivery restrictions; and

• any other applicable legal requirement.

The availability of a listing, profile, communication function or other Service through ARMTED must not be interpreted as a representation by ARMTED that the activity contemplated by a user is lawful.

2.8. Personal and Business Accounts

ARMTED may provide different types of accounts, profiles, roles or access rights for individuals, businesses, shooting ranges, clubs, organizations and other entities.

If you create, claim, administer or otherwise act on behalf of a business or organization, you represent that you have authority to do so and to provide information and content on its behalf.

ARMTED may require evidence of that authority at any time.

Business and organizational functionality may additionally be governed by the Partners Terms or other applicable terms.

ARMTED may change available account types, roles, permissions and business functionality from time to time.

2.9. Account Permissions and Access to Features

Creating an ARMTED account does not give you an unconditional right to access every Service.

ARMTED may determine which Services and functionality are available to a particular account based on factors including:

• account type;

• jurisdiction;

• verification status;

• age or other eligibility requirements;

• business or organizational role;

• account history;

• compliance with ARMTED policies;

• safety or security considerations;

• technical availability;

• legal or regulatory requirements; and

• the availability or configuration of particular Services.

ARMTED may enable or disable individual Services or account permissions without terminating the entire account.

For example, an account may continue to access social functionality while access to listings, bookings, messaging, business functionality, promotions or another Service is restricted or unavailable.

No previous access to a Service creates a permanent entitlement to continue using that Service.

2.10. Restrictions, Protective Measures and Temporary Actions

ARMTED may take reasonable protective measures where necessary to investigate or respond to suspected:

• unauthorized access;

• fraud;

• spam or automated abuse;

• impersonation;

• circumvention of restrictions;

• unlawful activity;

• threats to users or third parties;

• violations of these Terms or other ARMTED policies; or

• security or technical risks.

Such measures may include:

• requiring additional authentication or verification;

• temporarily limiting account functionality;

• restricting publication or communication capabilities;

• limiting access to particular Services;

• withholding or delaying publication of content where permitted;

• terminating active sessions;

• resetting or invalidating authentication credentials; or

• temporarily suspending the account.

ARMTED may take urgent protective action without advance notice where reasonably necessary to protect users, third parties, ARMTED or the security or integrity of the Services.

Any notice, explanation or opportunity to challenge such action required by applicable law will be provided in accordance with that law.

2.11. Suspension and Termination

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may restrict, suspend or terminate an account, or access to particular Services, where:

• these Terms or another applicable ARMTED policy have been violated;

• the account is used for unlawful, fraudulent, abusive or harmful activity;

• ARMTED reasonably believes that continued access creates a legal, security, safety or fraud risk;

• required verification cannot be completed;

• the account is used to circumvent a previous restriction or suspension;

• ARMTED is required to act by law, court order, governmental authority or another binding legal obligation;

• continued provision of a Service is no longer legally or technically possible; or

• another ground expressly provided by these Terms or applicable specific terms applies.

Where permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may choose to restrict only the affected Service rather than terminate the entire account.

ARMTED may take immediate action where reasonably necessary because of serious abuse, security concerns, suspected illegal activity or risk to users or third parties.

Nothing in this Section limits any procedural rights, notice requirements or appeal rights that must be provided under applicable law.

2.12. No Right to a Particular Account Feature

Your account provides access only to the Services that ARMTED makes available to you at a given time.

An account does not create a vested or permanent right to:

• publish listings;

• use booking functionality;

• send messages;

• create posts or other content;

• operate a business profile;

• use promotional Services;

• participate in groups or events;

• receive recommendations;

• access a particular catalogue or database;

• use any particular interface, integration or technical functionality; or

• retain any particular account feature indefinitely.

As provided in Section 1, ARMTED may modify, restrict, suspend, replace or discontinue Services and features to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

2.13. Account Deletion by the User

You may request deletion of your ARMTED account using the mechanisms made available by ARMTED.

Account deletion will be handled in accordance with applicable law, the Privacy Policy and ARMTED’s applicable retention obligations.

Deletion of an account does not necessarily require the immediate deletion of every piece of information associated with that account where ARMTED is legally entitled or required to retain particular information, including for purposes such as:

• compliance with legal obligations;

• establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;

• fraud and abuse prevention;

• security;

• financial, accounting or tax obligations;

• enforcement records;

• moderation and safety records where lawful; or

• other purposes permitted by applicable law.

Certain information may also remain temporarily in backups or other technical systems until deleted or overwritten through ordinary retention processes.

The effect of account or content deletion on licences previously granted to ARMTED in respect of User Content is governed by Section 4 (User Content).

2.14. No Transfer of Account Rights

Except where ARMTED expressly permits otherwise, your personal ARMTED account and rights associated with it are personal to you.

You may not sell, assign, license, rent or otherwise transfer your account or access credentials to another person.

ARMTED may provide separate mechanisms for transferring business roles, administrative permissions or control of business profiles.

2.15. Enforcement Is Not a Waiver

ARMTED is not required to take identical enforcement action in every situation.

A failure or delay by ARMTED to investigate, restrict, suspend or take action against a particular account or violation does not waive ARMTED’s right to take action in relation to that or any subsequent violation.

The fact that another user appears to have engaged in similar conduct without enforcement action does not create a right to engage in that conduct or prevent ARMTED from enforcing these Terms, subject always to applicable law.

3. ARMTED Platform and Services

3.1. Nature of the Services

ARMTED provides a technology platform through which users, businesses and other entities may access and use various social, informational, discovery, communication, listing, catalogue, booking, promotional and other features.

Depending on availability, ARMTED may provide Services including:

• profiles for users, businesses and organizations;

• social feeds and community features;

• posts, comments, photographs, videos and other User Content;

• messaging and other communication tools;

• listings;

• firearm, product and other catalogues and databases;

• search, maps and discovery functionality;

• shooting range, club, store, gunsmith and other business information;

• groups and events;

• bookings and scheduling;

• reviews and ratings;

• recommendations and personalized content;

• notifications;

• paid promotions and other paid Services;

• advertising, sponsored content and commercial communications;

• business and Partners functionality; and

• any other current, experimental or future Services made available by ARMTED.

The availability of any Service may depend on factors including location, jurisdiction, account type, verification status, device, application version, technical capability and ARMTED’s operational or commercial decisions.

3.2. ARMTED Determines the Scope of the Platform

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED retains discretion over the design, operation, organization and development of the Services.

This includes determining:

• which Services and features are offered;

• which users may access them;

• the markets or jurisdictions in which they are available;

• the devices or platforms on which they are available;

• their technical functionality;

• how they are presented in the user interface;

• applicable eligibility or verification requirements;

• free and paid functionality;

• limits applicable to their use;

• how content is organized, ranked and recommended;

• how Services interact with one another; and

• whether a Service is introduced, tested, modified, restricted, replaced, suspended or discontinued.

Except where mandatory law or specific terms applicable to a paid Service provide otherwise, the availability of a Service at any time does not constitute a commitment by ARMTED to continue providing that Service.

3.3. Changes to, Suspension and Discontinuation of Services

ARMTED is continuously evolving and may change the Services.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may at any time introduce, enable, disable, modify, limit, replace, suspend, withdraw or permanently discontinue any Service or feature, in whole or in part.

This right applies to both free and paid functionality, subject to any additional rights or remedies that mandatory law or the specific terms of a paid Service may provide.

For example, ARMTED may:

• introduce or discontinue Booking;

• enable Booking only for selected countries, businesses or users;

• disable particular categories of listings;

• modify or discontinue messaging functionality;

• introduce, modify or remove groups or events;

• modify the functionality of Pulse or other feeds;

• change maps, search or Explore functionality;

• add or remove catalogue functionality;

• change recommendation and ranking systems;

• modify business or Partners functionality;

• discontinue an integration with a third party;

• introduce new paid features;

• convert a previously free feature into a paid feature where permitted by applicable law;

• make a previously paid feature free;

• change technical limits applicable to content, photographs, videos, messages, listings or other features;

• restrict a Service to particular devices, platforms, account types or jurisdictions; or

• discontinue a Service entirely.

ARMTED may make such changes for legal, regulatory, security, safety, technical, operational, strategic, commercial or other legitimate reasons.

Except where notice is required by applicable law or specific contractual terms, ARMTED is not required to provide advance notice before changing, restricting, suspending or discontinuing a free Service.

3.4. No Guarantee of Availability

ARMTED does not guarantee that ARMTED, an account, any particular Service or any particular feature will be available continuously, uninterruptedly or permanently.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED makes no commitment regarding any particular level of availability or uptime unless expressly agreed in a separate written agreement.

The Services may be unavailable, interrupted, delayed, degraded or limited as a result of, among other things:

• scheduled or emergency maintenance;

• updates and deployments;

• software defects;

• hardware or infrastructure failures;

• network or telecommunications failures;

• cyberattacks or security incidents;

• excessive traffic or capacity constraints;

• third-party service failures;

• cloud, hosting, storage or content-delivery failures;

• payment provider failures;

• mapping or location service failures;

• app store or operating system restrictions;

• legal or regulatory requirements;

• actions of governmental authorities;

• force majeure events; or

• ARMTED’s decision to modify, restrict, suspend or discontinue a Service.

ARMTED may conduct maintenance, deploy updates or temporarily restrict Services without advance notice where reasonably necessary.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, ARMTED provides no service-level agreement or guaranteed uptime.

3.5. Social and Community Services

ARMTED may allow users to publish posts and other User Content, follow or interact with users and entities, comment, communicate, participate in groups and events and otherwise engage with the ARMTED community.

ARMTED determines how these features operate and may introduce limits concerning, among other things, publication, distribution, storage, visibility, communication, followers, groups, events, photographs, videos or other content.

ARMTED does not guarantee that User Content will reach any particular audience or remain available indefinitely.

User Content and use of social functionality are additionally governed by Section 4 and the Community Guidelines.

3.6. Feeds, Search, Ranking and Recommendations

ARMTED may use automated systems, algorithms, rules and other processes to select, organize, filter, rank and recommend content.

Different users may therefore receive different feeds, recommendations, search results and content ordering.

Subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy, ARMTED may take into account signals including:

• interests;

• follows and connections;

• interactions;

• viewed content;

• searches;

• listings;

• saved content;

• language;

• market and location;

• activity patterns;

• popularity or engagement;

• recency;

• content characteristics;

• user or business characteristics;

• previous interactions with advertising or promoted content; and

• other relevant signals available to ARMTED.

ARMTED does not guarantee that recommendation, search or ranking systems will always identify the most relevant, accurate, useful or appropriate content.

ARMTED retains discretion, subject to applicable law, to determine and modify the factors, models, algorithms and systems used to rank, recommend and display content.

ARMTED may change these systems without notice where notice is not required by applicable law.

3.7. Advertising, Sponsored and Promoted Content

ARMTED may finance or monetize some or all of the Services through advertising, sponsorships, paid promotion and other commercial arrangements.

Accordingly, users may be shown:

• advertisements;

• sponsored content;

• promoted posts;

• promoted listings;

• promoted events;

• promoted businesses or locations;

• commercial recommendations;

• branded content; and

• other promotional or commercial communications.

Advertising and commercial content may appear in feeds, search results, listings, catalogues, maps, Explore, business pages, notifications or other areas of ARMTED where permitted by applicable law.

Subject to applicable law, the Privacy Policy and required consent choices, ARMTED may use information and signals available to it to determine which advertising, sponsored or promoted content to display, to whom it should be displayed, how it should be ranked and how frequently it should be shown.

The presence of advertising or promoted content does not necessarily constitute an endorsement, certification or guarantee by ARMTED of the advertiser, product or service.

ARMTED may determine the format, placement, frequency and presentation of advertising and commercial content, subject to applicable law.

3.8. Listings

ARMTED may allow users and businesses to publish and discover listings.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, ARMTED provides the infrastructure for displaying and discovering listings and is not the seller, buyer, owner or party to a transaction concerning an item displayed in a listing.

ARMTED does not take possession or custody of firearms or other items merely because they are displayed on the platform.

The publication or availability of a listing on ARMTED does not constitute:

• confirmation that the listing or item is lawful in every jurisdiction;

• confirmation that the person publishing it may legally sell or transfer the item;

• confirmation that another user may legally acquire or possess it;

• a guarantee of authenticity, quality, safety, condition or availability;

• an appraisal or valuation;

• an endorsement of the listing; or

• a guarantee that any transaction or transfer will take place.

Users are responsible for compliance with applicable law.

Listings are additionally governed by the Listing Policy, Firearms Listing Policy, applicable compliance declarations and applicable jurisdiction-specific supplements.

3.9. Catalogues and Reference Information

ARMTED may create, maintain and display catalogues, databases, indexes, directories and other reference materials concerning firearms, manufacturers, models, products, businesses, shooting ranges, clubs, locations, services and other subjects.

Such materials may be compiled from multiple sources, including information supplied by users and businesses, publicly available information, licensed sources and User Content.

Subject to Section 4, eligible photographs, videos and other User Content submitted to ARMTED may be used to create, illustrate, maintain, improve and promote ARMTED catalogues, databases and reference materials.

For example, a photograph of a firearm submitted in a listing or post may be used as an illustration of the corresponding manufacturer, model, variant or category in an ARMTED catalogue.

ARMTED may organize, classify, combine, correct, supplement, translate, format or otherwise process information used in such catalogues and databases.

Unless ARMTED expressly states otherwise, catalogue and reference information is provided for general informational purposes and ARMTED does not guarantee that it is complete, current or error-free.

3.10. Booking and Scheduling Services

ARMTED may provide functionality enabling users to discover availability and request or make bookings with shooting ranges, businesses or other third-party service providers.

Booking is an optional ARMTED Service and its availability is not guaranteed.

ARMTED may introduce, restrict, modify, suspend or discontinue Booking globally or for particular markets, businesses, users or categories of services.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, the underlying booked service is provided by the relevant third-party provider and not by ARMTED.

The provider remains responsible for the service it offers, including its availability, facilities, personnel, safety procedures and performance of the booking.

The fact that ARMTED displays an available time slot does not constitute a guarantee by ARMTED that the provider will ultimately perform the service.

Specific rules governing Booking are contained in the Booking Terms.

3.11. Messaging and Communications

ARMTED may provide messaging, notifications and other communication functionality.

ARMTED does not guarantee:

• delivery of any particular message or notification;

• immediate delivery;

• uninterrupted availability of messaging;

• permanent storage of communications;

• that a recipient will read or respond to a communication; or

• availability of any particular messaging feature.

ARMTED may implement technical and operational measures concerning communications where necessary for security, abuse prevention, moderation, legal compliance or operation of the Services, subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

Users should not rely on ARMTED messaging as the sole means of communication in emergencies or other safety-critical or time-critical circumstances.

3.12. Maps, Locations and Business Information

ARMTED may display maps, geographical information, locations, opening hours, contact information, business information, directions and similar information.

Such information may originate from users, businesses, third-party providers, public sources or other data sources.

ARMTED does not guarantee that this information is complete, current or accurate.

Users should independently verify information where its accuracy is important, particularly before travelling, attending an event or relying on opening hours, availability or directions.

3.13. Reviews, Ratings, Verification and Other Trust Signals

ARMTED may display reviews, ratings, verification statuses, badges, popularity indicators or other information intended to assist users in evaluating content, users, businesses or services.

Unless ARMTED expressly states otherwise, such information:

• does not constitute a guarantee;

• does not constitute professional or legal certification;

• does not guarantee future conduct;

• does not guarantee the legality, quality or safety of a product or service; and

• should not replace a user’s own assessment where appropriate.

ARMTED may modify the methods used to calculate, display or remove ratings, reviews, badges and other trust signals.

3.14. Third-Party Services and Integrations

Some Services may depend on or interact with services supplied by third parties.

ARMTED may use or integrate services relating to, for example:

• payments;

• maps and geolocation;

• hosting and cloud infrastructure;

• storage and media delivery;

• identity or account verification;

• authentication;

• email, SMS and push notifications;

• analytics;

• app stores; and

• other technical or commercial services.

ARMTED does not control the continued availability of third-party services.

If a third-party service changes, restricts or terminates its service or its relationship with ARMTED, related ARMTED functionality may be modified, limited or discontinued.

ARMTED is not required to maintain a particular third-party integration indefinitely.

Third-party services may also be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

3.15. Paid Services

ARMTED may offer paid Services, including promotional functionality and other commercial features.

The availability, scope and pricing of paid Services may change over time.

Specific purchases are governed by the terms applicable at the time of purchase, including the Paid Services Terms.

Payment for one Service does not create a right to access other current or future Services unless expressly stated.

Unless expressly promised as part of a purchased Service, ARMTED does not guarantee that promotion will produce any particular number of views, clicks, contacts, inquiries, bookings, sales or other results.

3.16. Free Services and Future Monetization

Unless prohibited by applicable law or specific contractual commitments, ARMTED may determine how its Services are monetized.

The fact that a Service is available free of charge does not create a right for that Service to remain free.

ARMTED may introduce:

• subscriptions;

• paid functionality;

• usage limits;

• advertising;

• sponsored content;

• paid promotion;

• different account tiers; or

• other commercial models.

ARMTED may also discontinue or modify existing monetization models.

Where a change affects an existing paid contractual commitment, applicable mandatory law and the terms governing that purchase will apply.

3.17. Experimental, Beta and Early-Access Services

ARMTED may make experimental, beta, preview, test or early-access Services available to some users.

Such Services may be incomplete, contain errors, change substantially or cease to be available.

Unless mandatory law provides otherwise, experimental Services are provided without any commitment that:

• they will become generally available;

• their functionality will remain unchanged;

• data or functionality created through them will remain available indefinitely; or

• ARMTED will continue their development.

Access to an experimental Service does not create a right to its future availability.

3.18. Technical and Usage Limits

ARMTED may establish and modify reasonable technical, operational and usage limits for the Services.

Such limits may concern, among other things:

• file sizes;

• photograph and video formats;

• number of photographs or videos;

• storage;

• message attachments;

• listing limits;

• publication frequency;

• API or request limits;

• account functionality;

• geographic availability; and

• other technical parameters.

ARMTED may modify such limits as the Services evolve, subject to applicable law and any specific contractual commitments.

3.19. No Reliance on Continued Functionality

Except where expressly agreed otherwise, users should not organize their activities on the assumption that a particular ARMTED feature will remain available indefinitely.

In particular, ARMTED should not be treated as the sole system for:

• maintaining business records;

• storing legally required documentation;

• preserving the only copy of photographs, videos or other materials;

• maintaining calendars or booking records;

• emergency communications;

• safety-critical communications; or

• any other activity requiring guaranteed availability or permanent data retention.

Users are responsible for maintaining appropriate independent records or copies where necessary.

3.20. No Implied Obligations

No feature, practice, functionality or level of service voluntarily provided by ARMTED creates an obligation to continue providing the same feature, practice, functionality or level of service in the future, except where such obligation arises under mandatory law or an express contractual commitment.

ARMTED’s decision to provide assistance, moderation, verification, restoration, support or another measure in one situation does not create an obligation to provide the same measure in every other situation.

Nothing in the presentation or operation of the Services should be interpreted as creating a warranty, guarantee or commitment beyond those expressly provided in these Terms or required by applicable law.

4. User Content

4.1. User Content

ARMTED enables users, businesses and other authorized account holders to create, upload, submit, publish, transmit or otherwise make content available through the Services.

“User Content” includes, without limitation:

• photographs and images;

• videos and audiovisual materials;

• audio;

• posts;

• comments and replies;

• reviews and ratings;

• listing photographs, videos, descriptions and specifications;

• profile and business profile content;

• catalogue-related contributions;

• descriptions, titles, tags and classifications;

• any other material submitted or made available by a user through ARMTED.

References in these Terms to submitting or making User Content available include uploading, publishing, posting, transmitting or otherwise providing such content through the Services.

4.2. Ownership of User Content

As between you and ARMTED, you retain any ownership rights that you hold in your User Content.

ARMTED does not claim ownership of your User Content merely because you submit it through the Services.

However, in order for ARMTED to operate, develop, improve, organize, distribute, promote and market the Services, and to make effective use of content contributed to the ARMTED ecosystem, you grant ARMTED the licence described below.

4.3. Licence Granted to ARMTED

By submitting, uploading, publishing or otherwise making User Content available through ARMTED, you grant ARMTED, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable and sublicensable licence to:

• host;

• store;

• cache;

• reproduce;

• copy;

• use;

• modify to the extent necessary or useful for the purposes described in these Terms;

• create derivative materials from; and

• otherwise use

your User Content in any media, format, technology or distribution method currently known or developed in the future, for the purposes described in this Section.

No royalty, licence fee or other compensation is payable to you by ARMTED for uses authorized by this licence.

4.4. Purposes of the Licence

The licence granted under Section 4.3 may be exercised by ARMTED for purposes connected with ARMTED, its business and the Services, including:

• providing and operating the Services;

• storing and delivering User Content;

• displaying User Content to other users;

• operating feeds, search and discovery;

• operating listings;

• creating firearm, manufacturer, model, product and category pages;

• creating directories and informational resources;

• organizing and classifying content;

• promoting ARMTED applications, websites, communities, catalogues and features;

• operating ARMTED’s official social media channels;

• preparing presentations, press materials and promotional materials; and

• advertising ARMTED and its Services.

The licence is not limited to displaying User Content in the exact location, post, listing, profile or context in which it was originally submitted.

4.5. Photographs and Videos

You expressly acknowledge that the licence granted to ARMTED applies to photographs, images, videos and audiovisual materials submitted through the Services.

Subject to these Terms, ARMTED may reuse eligible photographs and videos outside the original post, listing, event, profile or other context in which they were submitted.

For example, ARMTED may use a photograph of a firearm originally uploaded by a user to a listing or post:

• on a catalogue page for that firearm;

• on a manufacturer or model page;

• as an illustration of a firearm category or variant;

• in search or discovery;

• in an editorial or informational article;

• within another relevant ARMTED feature;

• on an ARMTED website or application;

• on an official ARMTED social media account; or

• in materials advertising or promoting ARMTED or its Services.

Similarly, ARMTED may use eligible video or portions of video submitted through the Services for such purposes, including by creating previews, excerpts, clips, thumbnails or still images from the video.

Such uses do not require ARMTED to obtain an additional licence or permission from you or pay additional compensation to you, except where applicable mandatory law requires otherwise.

4.6. ARMTED Catalogues and Databases

You expressly authorize ARMTED to use eligible User Content to create, populate, illustrate, maintain, expand and improve ARMTED catalogues, databases, directories and other informational resources.

ARMTED may associate User Content with information different from the original listing or post where reasonably relevant to the subject depicted or described.

For example, ARMTED may associate a photograph submitted in connection with a particular firearm listing with the corresponding:

• manufacturer;

• firearm model;

• variant;

• calibre;

• category;

• product record; or

• other relevant catalogue classification.

ARMTED may retain and reuse such catalogue contributions in accordance with Section 4.12 even if the original listing, post or other source context is subsequently removed.

ARMTED may supplement User Content with information obtained from other users, businesses, manufacturers, public sources, licensed sources or ARMTED’s own data.

4.7. Promotional and Marketing Use

The licence granted under Section 4.3 expressly includes the right for ARMTED to use eligible User Content to advertise, market and promote ARMTED and the Services.

This may include use in:

• advertisements for ARMTED;

• ARMTED websites and landing pages;

• app store materials;

• promotional videos;

• social media posts and campaigns;

• newsletters and other ARMTED communications where lawful;

• presentations;

• press and public-relations materials;

• promotional graphics;

• demonstrations of ARMTED features;

• materials promoting ARMTED catalogues, listings, communities, events or other Services; and

• other ARMTED marketing and promotional materials.

ARMTED may combine User Content with ARMTED trademarks, logos, text, graphics, interface elements, other User Content and other materials when creating such promotional materials.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED is not required to obtain additional approval from you for each individual promotional use falling within the scope of the licence granted under this Section.

4.8. Editing and Adaptation

ARMTED may make reasonable technical, editorial and presentational modifications to User Content where necessary or useful for an authorized use.

This may include:

• cropping;

• resizing;

• compression;

• format conversion;

• transcoding;

• changing aspect ratio;

• creating thumbnails;

• creating previews;

• extracting still frames from video;

• creating excerpts or clips;

• adding captions or labels;

• translating text;

• adapting descriptions;

• correcting formatting;

• placing content within templates or layouts;

• combining content with graphical or interface elements; and

• adapting content for different devices, applications, websites, advertising formats and social media platforms.

ARMTED will not intentionally modify User Content in a manner that falsely attributes to you a statement or endorsement that you did not make.

4.9. Sublicensing and Service Providers

ARMTED may sublicense or otherwise authorize third parties to exercise rights granted under this Section where reasonably necessary or useful for an authorized purpose.

Such third parties may include:

• hosting and cloud providers;

• media storage and content-delivery providers;

• technical service providers;

• contractors acting for ARMTED;

• marketing and advertising service providers;

• social media and distribution platforms;

• agencies producing ARMTED promotional materials; and

• other providers involved in operating, developing, distributing or promoting ARMTED.

A sublicense granted under this Section does not authorize a third party to independently exploit User Content for purposes unrelated to ARMTED merely because that third party provides services to ARMTED.

ARMTED may also transfer the licence together with the relevant business, Service or assets in connection with a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale of business or assets, or similar corporate transaction, subject to applicable law.

4.10. Your Responsibility for User Content

You are responsible for User Content that you submit through ARMTED.

By submitting User Content, you represent and warrant, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that:

• you own the User Content or otherwise possess sufficient rights and permissions to submit it and grant ARMTED the rights described in these Terms;

• ARMTED’s exercise of the licence granted by you in accordance with these Terms will not knowingly require ARMTED to obtain an additional licence from you;

• where User Content contains material belonging to another person, you have the permissions necessary to submit and license that material;

• your User Content does not knowingly infringe copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, image, personality or other rights of third parties;

• where required, you have obtained appropriate permission concerning identifiable persons depicted or otherwise included in the User Content; and

• the User Content and its submission comply with applicable law and ARMTED policies.

You must not upload photographs, videos or other materials merely because they are publicly available elsewhere if you do not have the rights necessary to submit them to ARMTED.

4.11. People Depicted in Photographs and Videos

If you upload User Content depicting or otherwise identifying another person, you are responsible for ensuring that you have any permission or other lawful basis required to submit and use that material through ARMTED.

This is particularly important where the User Content is intended for public distribution or may be used in accordance with the licence granted under this Section.

ARMTED may remove, restrict or decline to use User Content where it receives a credible complaint concerning image rights, privacy, copyright or other third-party rights.

4.12. Duration of the Licence and Removal of User Content

The licence granted under this Section begins when you submit or otherwise make the relevant User Content available to ARMTED.

Subject to applicable law, removal of User Content or deletion of your account does not require ARMTED to reverse uses of User Content that were lawfully made before removal or deletion.

In particular, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may continue to retain and use User Content after removal of the original content or deletion of the account where:

• the content has been incorporated into an ARMTED catalogue, database, directory or other reference resource;

• the content has been incorporated into promotional, advertising, editorial or informational materials already created, published, distributed or committed for publication;

• continued retention or use is reasonably necessary to preserve the integrity or functionality of an ARMTED Service;

• another user has legitimately shared or interacted with the content and continued processing is permitted by applicable law;

• retention is required or permitted for legal, security, fraud-prevention, moderation, evidentiary or dispute-resolution purposes;

• the content remains temporarily in backups, caches or technical systems pending ordinary deletion or overwriting; or

• another lawful basis for continued retention or use exists.

Where technically and commercially reasonable, ARMTED may cease new promotional uses of removed User Content, but nothing in these Terms requires ARMTED to recall, destroy, withdraw or recreate materials already lawfully produced or distributed, except where required by applicable law.

Where applicable law requires the licence or a particular use to terminate following withdrawal, deletion or another valid request, the licence will terminate to the extent required by that law.

4.13. Copies, Shares and Redistribution

Because ARMTED is a social and content platform, User Content may be viewed, shared, reposted, quoted, copied, cached, indexed or otherwise interacted with by other users or third parties depending on the relevant Service and privacy settings.

ARMTED cannot guarantee that every copy of content made by another person before deletion can subsequently be removed.

Deletion of content from ARMTED does not necessarily remove copies independently created or lawfully retained by third parties.

4.14. Private Communications

The general promotional licence in this Section does not mean that ARMTED may arbitrarily publish the contents of private direct messages as advertising material.

Content submitted through private communications may be processed to provide, secure and maintain messaging and for other purposes described in the Privacy Policy and permitted by applicable law.

If a particular piece of content is separately submitted to a public or other eligible ARMTED Service, the licence applicable to that submission may apply independently.

Nothing in this Section limits ARMTED’s ability to process communications where reasonably necessary for security, abuse prevention, moderation, investigation, legal compliance or enforcement of these Terms, subject to applicable law.

4.15. Moderation and Removal

The grant of a licence to ARMTED does not create an obligation for ARMTED to host, publish, distribute or continue displaying User Content.

ARMTED may, subject to applicable law:

• refuse to publish User Content;

• restrict its visibility;

• reclassify or relabel it;

• remove it;

• disable access to it;

• exclude it from recommendations or search;

• remove it from a particular Service while retaining it where lawfully necessary for another purpose; or

• take other moderation or enforcement action permitted by these Terms.

ARMTED’s decision not to exercise its licence in relation to particular User Content does not terminate or waive rights otherwise granted under this Section.

4.16. No Obligation to Use or Credit User Content

The licence granted to ARMTED does not require ARMTED to use any User Content.

ARMTED may determine whether, where, when and how eligible User Content is used for an authorized purpose.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED is not required to:

• compensate you for an authorized use;

• notify you before each authorized use;

• seek additional approval for each authorized use; or

• provide attribution or credit for each authorized use.

Where ARMTED chooses to provide attribution, it may use the username, profile name, business name or other attribution reasonably associated with the User Content.

Nothing in this Section requires ARMTED to identify a user in promotional materials.

4.17. Feedback and Suggestions

If you voluntarily provide ARMTED with ideas, suggestions, proposals, feedback or recommendations concerning ARMTED or the Services (“Feedback”), ARMTED may use that Feedback without restriction or obligation to compensate you, subject to applicable law.

You acknowledge that ARMTED may independently develop products, features or ideas similar to Feedback provided by users.

Providing Feedback does not give you ownership of features, products or other developments subsequently created by ARMTED.

4.18. Intellectual Property Complaints

ARMTED respects intellectual property and other third-party rights.

If you believe that User Content infringes rights that you own or are authorized to enforce, you may submit a complaint using the procedures provided by ARMTED.

ARMTED may remove or restrict allegedly infringing content and may take action against accounts that repeatedly or seriously violate intellectual property rights.

Additional rules and procedures are set out in the Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy.

4.19. No Endorsement of User Content

User Content represents the views, information and materials of the users or third parties who provide it.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, ARMTED does not endorse User Content and does not guarantee its accuracy, legality, reliability, completeness or quality.

The fact that ARMTED displays, recommends, categorizes, promotes, reuses or includes User Content in a catalogue or other ARMTED Service does not by itself mean that ARMTED adopts the content as its own statement or guarantees the product, person or information depicted.

4.20. Rights Reserved

Except for the rights expressly granted to you under these Terms, ARMTED and its licensors retain all rights in and to ARMTED, the Services and materials created by or for ARMTED.

Nothing in these Terms prevents ARMTED from creating, acquiring, licensing or using content, photographs, videos, databases, catalogues, information or other materials that are identical or similar to User Content submitted by a user.

The rights granted under this Section are cumulative with any other rights or permissions that ARMTED may lawfully obtain in relation to particular content.

5. Acceptable Use and Community Rules

5.1. General Standard of Use

You must use ARMTED, the Services and any information, content or functionality made available through ARMTED lawfully, responsibly and in accordance with these Terms, the Community Guidelines, other applicable ARMTED policies and applicable law.

You are responsible for your conduct on and in connection with ARMTED.

You must not use ARMTED in a manner that:

• violates applicable law or regulation;

• violates these Terms or another applicable ARMTED policy;

• infringes or facilitates the infringement of another person’s rights;

• threatens the safety or security of users, third parties or ARMTED;

• interferes with the proper operation of the Services;

• abuses or exploits ARMTED functionality;

• deceives, defrauds or materially misleads other users;

• circumvents restrictions, safeguards or enforcement measures; or

• otherwise creates a material legal, security, safety or integrity risk for ARMTED, its users or third parties.

The examples of prohibited conduct contained in these Terms and the Community Guidelines are illustrative and not exhaustive.

The absence of a particular activity from a list of prohibited conduct does not mean that ARMTED is required to permit that activity.

5.2. Community Guidelines

The Community Guidelines establish additional rules concerning conduct and content on ARMTED.

They apply, as relevant, to profiles, posts, comments, photographs, videos, groups, events, reviews, ratings, listings, public communications and other community functionality.

You must comply with the Community Guidelines when using the Services.

ARMTED may develop and update the Community Guidelines as the Services, risks, community and applicable legal requirements evolve.

Changes to the Community Guidelines will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the provisions of these Terms concerning changes to ARMTED rules.

5.3. Illegal and Harmful Conduct

You must not use ARMTED to engage in, promote, organize, facilitate or knowingly assist unlawful activity.

This includes using ARMTED to:

• commit or facilitate fraud;

• threaten or unlawfully intimidate another person;

• unlawfully harass or stalk another person;

• distribute unlawful content;

• unlawfully obtain, disclose or misuse personal information;

• infringe intellectual property or other third-party rights;

• evade legal restrictions applicable to regulated products or activities;

• falsify documents, licences, qualifications or other information;

• impersonate another person or entity;

• otherwise violate applicable criminal, civil, administrative or regulatory law.

ARMTED may restrict content or activity where it reasonably considers action necessary to address a credible legal, safety, fraud or security risk, even where no final judicial or administrative determination has yet been made.

5.4. Violence, Threats and Dangerous Conduct

You must not use ARMTED to make unlawful threats, encourage unlawful violence, target another person for violence or facilitate criminal violent conduct.

The fact that ARMTED serves the shooting and firearms community does not permit users to use the Services for unlawful threats, intimidation or violence.

Content depicting firearms, shooting sports, hunting, collecting, historical material, lawful training or other legitimate firearms-related activities is not prohibited merely because it involves firearms.

ARMTED may nevertheless restrict particular content or conduct where reasonably necessary for legal compliance, safety, platform integrity or compliance with applicable ARMTED policies.

5.5. Harassment, Hate and Abuse

You must not use ARMTED to unlawfully harass, threaten, intimidate or target another person.

Prohibited conduct may include:

• repeated unwanted abusive contact;

• credible threats;

• targeted harassment;

• unlawful hateful conduct;

• encouraging others to harass a person;

• publishing personal information for an unlawful or abusive purpose;

• malicious impersonation; or

• other serious abusive conduct described in the Community Guidelines.

ARMTED may consider the context, severity, frequency, intent and reasonably foreseeable impact of conduct when determining whether enforcement action is appropriate.

5.6. Fraud, Scams and Deception

You must not use ARMTED to defraud or materially deceive another user or third party.

Prohibited conduct includes:

• fraudulent listings;

• knowingly false claims concerning products or services;

• impersonating a business, organization or another person;

• falsifying verification information;

• using stolen or unauthorized payment credentials;

• phishing;

• attempting to obtain account credentials from another user;

• advance-fee or similar scams;

• manipulating another user through knowingly false material information; and

• coordinating fraudulent activity.

ARMTED may take protective action where it reasonably suspects fraud or attempted fraud without waiting for the suspected conduct to result in actual financial loss.

5.7. Spam and Manipulation

You must not use ARMTED to distribute spam or artificially manipulate the Services.

Without authorization from ARMTED, you must not:

• send unsolicited communications at scale;

• repeatedly publish substantially identical content for abusive or manipulative purposes;

• create accounts in bulk;

• operate fake accounts;

• artificially inflate followers, views, ratings, reviews, reactions or other engagement;

• coordinate artificial engagement;

• manipulate search, recommendation or ranking systems through deceptive means;

• use automated systems to generate artificial activity;

• abuse reporting or moderation systems;

• manipulate promotional or advertising systems; or

• otherwise interfere with the integrity of ARMTED metrics or Services.

ARMTED may disregard, remove, discount or otherwise adjust activity that it reasonably identifies as artificial, fraudulent, abusive or manipulative.

5.8. Automated Access, Scraping and Data Extraction

Except where expressly authorized by ARMTED or permitted by mandatory applicable law, you must not use bots, crawlers, scrapers, automated scripts or other automated means to access, extract, collect, copy or systematically reproduce data or content from ARMTED.

Without ARMTED’s prior authorization, you must not:

• scrape profiles, listings, catalogues or other ARMTED content;

• systematically download photographs or videos;

• create or maintain a substitute or competing database using ARMTED data;

• harvest usernames, contact details or other user information;

• circumvent rate limits or technical access controls;

• use automated systems to send messages or perform account actions;

• reverse engineer non-public APIs;

• access APIs other than through methods authorized by ARMTED; or

• use ARMTED content or data to train, develop, evaluate or improve machine-learning or artificial-intelligence models where ARMTED has not authorized such use.

Nothing in this Section restricts rights that cannot lawfully be restricted under applicable law.

5.9. Security and Technical Abuse

You must not attempt to compromise the security, availability or integrity of ARMTED.

You must not:

• introduce malware or malicious code;

• probe or scan systems for vulnerabilities without authorization;

• exploit known or suspected vulnerabilities;

• attempt to obtain unauthorized access to accounts, systems or data;

• bypass authentication or authorization controls;

• interfere with network or service availability;

• conduct denial-of-service attacks;

• intentionally overload infrastructure;

• circumvent technical restrictions;

• interfere with logging, security or anti-abuse mechanisms; or

• assist another person in doing so.

ARMTED may immediately restrict access or take other protective measures in response to suspected security threats.

5.10. Intellectual Property and Third-Party Rights

You must respect copyright, trademarks, trade secrets, image rights, privacy rights and other rights belonging to ARMTED and third parties.

You must not submit content merely because you found it online if you do not have the rights or permissions necessary to submit and license it under these Terms.

The fact that ARMTED may exercise the licence granted under Section 4 does not reduce your responsibility for ensuring that you were entitled to provide the relevant User Content.

Additional procedures concerning intellectual property are set out in the Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy.

5.11. Firearms and Other Regulated Items

ARMTED’s availability as a platform does not authorize conduct that would otherwise be unlawful.

Users dealing with firearms, ammunition or other regulated items are responsible for complying with all requirements applicable to them, including requirements concerning possession, acquisition, sale, advertising, transfer, licensing, registration and other regulated activities.

You must not use ARMTED to:

• knowingly offer or seek an item where doing so through ARMTED is prohibited by applicable law or ARMTED policy;

• knowingly circumvent a legally required licence, permit, authorization, background check, registration, intermediary or transfer procedure;

• misrepresent the legal classification of a regulated item;

• conceal information for the purpose of avoiding a legal requirement;

• use ARMTED to arrange conduct that you know would be unlawful; or

• circumvent a restriction imposed by ARMTED concerning regulated items.

The Listing Policy, Firearms Listing Policy and applicable jurisdiction-specific supplements contain additional rules.

The fact that ARMTED technically allows particular content, a listing or communication to be created, published, viewed or transmitted does not constitute confirmation that the underlying activity is lawful.

5.12. Responsibility for Local Law

ARMTED operates across multiple jurisdictions.

A feature, listing, product, activity or type of content that is lawful in one jurisdiction may be restricted or prohibited in another.

You are responsible for determining the law applicable to your own activities.

ARMTED may use location, market, account, listing or other information to implement regional restrictions, warnings or requirements, but the existence or absence of such a technical restriction does not transfer responsibility for legal compliance from the user to ARMTED.

An error, omission or delay in ARMTED’s implementation of a regional restriction does not constitute authorization to engage in unlawful conduct.

5.13. Circumvention

You must not attempt to circumvent these Terms, ARMTED policies, technical controls, moderation actions, account restrictions or regional restrictions.

This includes:

• creating replacement accounts following a suspension or ban;

• using another person’s account to circumvent a restriction;

• disguising location for the purpose of evading a legal or ARMTED restriction;

• intentionally misclassifying listings or content;

• modifying content solely to avoid automated or manual moderation;

• moving prohibited activity between ARMTED Services to evade enforcement; or

• assisting another person in circumventing a restriction.

ARMTED may take account of related accounts, devices, activity patterns and other relevant signals when investigating suspected circumvention, subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

5.14. Misuse of Bookings, Events and Business Services

Where ARMTED provides Booking, Events, Groups, Partners or other organizational Services, users must not deliberately misuse those Services.

Prohibited conduct may include:

• knowingly making fraudulent or fictitious bookings;

• systematically making reservations without an intention to use them;

• intentionally disrupting availability for other users;

• publishing fictitious events or businesses;

• falsely claiming authority over a business or organization;

• intentionally providing materially false availability information;

• manipulating reviews or ratings; or

• otherwise abusing the functionality contrary to its intended purpose.

ARMTED may limit access to the affected Service without necessarily terminating access to other ARMTED functionality.

5.15. Advertising and Commercial Activity by Users

Users may engage in commercial or promotional activity through ARMTED only to the extent permitted by the relevant Service and ARMTED policies.

ARMTED may establish separate rules concerning:

• commercial profiles;

• business accounts;

• promotional posts;

• advertising;

• sponsored content;

• affiliate content;

• solicitation;

• paid promotions; and

• other commercial activity.

ARMTED may distinguish between ordinary User Content and commercial content and may require commercial content to be identified or presented differently where appropriate or required by law.

Nothing in these Terms gives a user an unrestricted right to advertise through ARMTED.

5.16. ARMTED’s Discretion to Protect the Services

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may take action where it reasonably determines that content, conduct, an account or a pattern of activity:

• violates these Terms or another ARMTED policy;

• creates a material safety or security risk;

• exposes ARMTED or third parties to material legal or regulatory risk;

• is fraudulent, deceptive or abusive;

• threatens the integrity or proper operation of the Services;

• attempts to circumvent enforcement;

• materially harms users or the ARMTED community; or

• otherwise requires intervention to protect ARMTED, its users or third parties.

ARMTED is not required to wait until actual harm occurs before taking reasonable preventive action.

Measures may include:

• reducing distribution or visibility;

• excluding content from recommendations;

• removing content from search;

• restricting messaging;

• restricting listings;

• disabling Booking or another Service for an account;

• requiring verification;

• removing content;

• suspending functionality;

• suspending an account; or

• terminating an account,

subject to any procedural rights required by applicable law.

5.17. No Obligation to Monitor Everything

ARMTED may use automated systems, user reports, human moderation and other mechanisms to identify violations and protect the Services.

However, unless applicable law expressly requires otherwise, ARMTED does not undertake to proactively review or verify every user, listing, post, photograph, video, message, business, event, booking or other activity before it appears or occurs.

The fact that content or activity remains available on ARMTED does not mean that ARMTED:

• has reviewed it;

• has verified it;

• approves it;

• considers it lawful;

• endorses it; or

• assumes responsibility for it.

ARMTED may review or take action concerning content at any time where permitted or required by applicable law.

5.18. Enforcement Decisions

ARMTED may consider all reasonably relevant circumstances when determining an appropriate response to a violation or risk.

These may include:

• seriousness;

• frequency;

• previous violations;

• intent;

• actual or potential harm;

• legal requirements;

• attempts to conceal or circumvent conduct;

• cooperation with an investigation;

• account history; and

• risk to ARMTED, users or third parties.

ARMTED may choose different enforcement measures for different circumstances.

ARMTED is not required to impose the same measure for every violation of the same general rule where relevant circumstances differ.

Where applicable law requires a particular notice, statement of reasons, complaint mechanism or appeal procedure, ARMTED will provide it as required.

5.19. Reporting Violations

Users may report content, accounts or conduct using reporting mechanisms provided by ARMTED.

A report does not guarantee that ARMTED will remove content or impose a particular sanction.

ARMTED may assess the report, available information, applicable policies and legal requirements before deciding whether action is appropriate.

Users must not knowingly submit false reports, manipulate reporting systems or coordinate abusive reporting campaigns.

ARMTED may restrict access to reporting functionality where it is repeatedly and materially abused, subject to applicable law.

5.20. Cooperation with Authorities and Legal Process

ARMTED may preserve or disclose information and take other appropriate action where required by applicable law, a valid court order or another legally binding request.

Where permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may also take appropriate steps in response to credible threats to safety, fraud, cybersecurity incidents or other serious unlawful activity.

Any disclosure of personal data will be handled in accordance with applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

5.21. Changes to Rules and Enforcement Practices

ARMTED may develop and modify its Community Guidelines, safety rules, anti-abuse mechanisms, moderation systems and enforcement practices as the Services, technology, risks and legal requirements evolve.

The fact that particular conduct was not previously restricted or subject to enforcement does not prevent ARMTED from restricting that conduct prospectively where permitted by applicable law.

Similarly, ARMTED may cease enforcing a restriction that is no longer considered necessary, subject to applicable law.

5.22. No Waiver Through Non-Enforcement

ARMTED’s failure or delay in taking action concerning particular conduct does not constitute permission for that conduct and does not waive ARMTED’s right to enforce these Terms or other applicable policies later.

Enforcement against one user does not create an obligation to take identical action against every other user, provided that ARMTED complies with applicable law.

5.23. Survival of Responsibility

Removal of content, termination of a listing, suspension of a Service, deletion of an account or termination of access to ARMTED does not eliminate responsibility for conduct occurring before that action.

Any provisions of these Terms that by their nature are intended to continue following removal, suspension, deletion or termination will continue to apply to the extent permitted by applicable law.

6. Listings and Regulated Items

6.1. Listings Service

ARMTED may provide functionality allowing users and businesses to create, publish, browse, search, discover and communicate about listings (“Listings”).

Listings may concern firearms, firearm-related products, accessories, equipment, services and other items or categories permitted by ARMTED.

The availability of the Listings Service, as well as the categories of items that may be listed, may vary depending on jurisdiction, account type, verification status and other requirements established by ARMTED.

The Listings Service is a platform for publishing and discovering information and facilitating contact between users. Unless ARMTED expressly states otherwise for a particular Service, ARMTED does not sell, purchase, broker, take possession of or conduct the legal transfer of items listed by users.

6.2. ARMTED Is Not a Party to Transactions Between Users

Unless ARMTED expressly agrees otherwise in relation to a separate Service, any agreement, arrangement, sale, purchase, transfer or other transaction concerning an item displayed in a Listing is made independently between the relevant users or third parties.

ARMTED is not a party to such transaction merely because:

• the parties discovered each other through ARMTED;

• the item was displayed on ARMTED;

• ARMTED recommended, ranked or promoted the Listing;

• the parties communicated using ARMTED;

• ARMTED verified certain information concerning an account;

• the Listing was reviewed or moderated by ARMTED;

• ARMTED provided information concerning applicable requirements; or

• ARMTED provided other technical functionality connected with the Listing.

ARMTED does not acquire title to or possession of an item displayed in a user Listing and does not act as the seller or purchaser of that item.

6.3. No Firearm Transfer Through ARMTED

Unless expressly introduced as a separate Service in compliance with applicable law, ARMTED does not itself conduct the legal transfer of firearms or ammunition between users.

Where applicable law requires a transaction or transfer to be conducted through:

• a licensed firearms dealer;

• a Federal Firearms Licensee or other licensed intermediary;

• a governmental authority;

• a police or administrative procedure;

• a background-check system;

• a firearms register;

• a permit or authorization procedure; or

• another legally required mechanism,

the users involved are responsible for ensuring that the required procedure is followed.

Communication through ARMTED does not replace any legally required transfer, registration, verification, background check, licence, permit or other procedure.

6.4. User Responsibility for Legality

The person publishing a Listing is responsible for determining whether the Listing, the item, the proposed activity and any subsequent transaction or transfer comply with applicable law.

A person responding to or acting upon a Listing is independently responsible for determining whether that person may lawfully acquire, possess, receive, use, transport or otherwise deal with the relevant item.

This responsibility may include compliance with requirements concerning:

• age;

• legal capacity;

• licences;

• permits;

• registrations;

• authorizations;

• firearm classifications;

• prohibited or restricted items;

• magazine or ammunition restrictions;

• background checks;

• waiting periods;

• residency;

• required dealers or intermediaries;

• mandatory documentation;

• advertising restrictions;

• transfer procedures;

• transportation;

• import or export;

• local possession restrictions; and

• any other requirement applicable to the parties, item or activity.

Users must independently determine which requirements apply to them.

6.5. Jurisdiction-Specific Requirements

Firearms and other regulated items may be subject to materially different laws in different jurisdictions.

A Listing or activity that is lawful in one country, state, province or locality may be restricted or prohibited in another.

ARMTED may provide jurisdiction-specific rules, notices, warnings, declarations, restrictions or technical controls.

ARMTED may also require a user to confirm compliance with applicable rules before publishing, editing, renewing, promoting or otherwise using a Listing.

However, ARMTED’s implementation of jurisdiction-specific controls does not transfer responsibility for legal compliance from the user to ARMTED.

In particular:

• the absence of a warning does not mean that an activity is lawful;

• the absence of a technical restriction does not constitute authorization;

• successful publication of a Listing does not constitute legal approval;

• acceptance of a Listing by ARMTED moderation does not constitute legal advice or legal certification; and

• an error or omission in ARMTED’s jurisdiction rules does not authorize conduct prohibited by applicable law.

Applicable jurisdiction-specific requirements may be further described in the Firearms Listing Policy and relevant jurisdiction-specific supplements.

6.6. Information Required in Listings

ARMTED may determine which information must be provided before a Listing may be published or remain available.

Depending on the category and jurisdiction, this may include:

• title;

• description;

• photographs or videos;

• manufacturer;

• model;

• calibre;

• category or classification;

• condition;

• price;

• location;

• seller information;

• business information;

• licence or authorization information;

• legally required warnings or statements; and

• other information required by ARMTED or applicable law.

ARMTED may change these requirements over time.

ARMTED may prevent publication, restrict visibility or remove a Listing that does not contain required information.

6.7. Accuracy of Listings

Users publishing Listings must provide information that is not knowingly false or materially misleading.

The publisher of a Listing is responsible for the accuracy of information concerning the item, including where relevant its:

• identity;

• manufacturer;

• model;

• calibre;

• classification;

• condition;

• functionality;

• modifications;

• ownership;

• provenance;

• availability;

• price; and

• legal status.

ARMTED does not independently inspect items displayed in Listings and, unless expressly stated otherwise, does not guarantee the accuracy of Listing information.

6.8. Ownership and Authority to List

By publishing a Listing, you represent and warrant, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that you have the rights and authority necessary to offer or advertise the relevant item or service.

You must not knowingly publish:

• stolen property;

• property you are not authorized to offer;

• counterfeit items;

• fraudulently represented items; or

• items whose advertising through ARMTED is prohibited.

ARMTED may request evidence concerning ownership, authority, identity, licensing or other relevant circumstances where reasonably necessary.

Failure to provide requested information may result in restriction or removal of the Listing or access to the Listings Service.

6.9. Prohibited and Restricted Listings

ARMTED may determine that particular items, categories or types of Listings are prohibited or restricted on the platform even where their advertisement or possession may be lawful in some jurisdictions.

Accordingly, the fact that an item is lawful does not create a right to list it on ARMTED.

ARMTED may prohibit, restrict or impose additional requirements on categories based on:

• applicable law;

• safety;

• regulatory risk;

• platform policies;

• payment or technology provider requirements;

• app store requirements;

• insurance requirements;

• commercial considerations;

• operational considerations; or

• other legitimate reasons.

The applicable categories and restrictions may be described in the Listing Policy, Firearms Listing Policy or other ARMTED rules.

6.10. ARMTED May Change Permitted Listing Categories

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may at any time:

• introduce new Listing categories;

• remove existing categories;

• restrict categories;

• impose additional requirements;

• restrict categories to verified users or businesses;

• restrict categories geographically;

• suspend publication within a category;

• remove existing Listings from a category;

• discontinue firearm Listings or any other Listing category; or

• discontinue the Listings Service entirely.

Previous availability of a Listing category does not create a permanent right to continue publishing or maintaining Listings in that category.

Where applicable law or specific paid-service terms require notice, reimbursement or another remedy, those requirements will apply.

6.11. Listing Compliance Declaration

ARMTED may require a user to make an explicit compliance declaration before publishing, editing, renewing or otherwise making a Listing available.

Such declaration may require the user to confirm that:

• the Listing complies with applicable ARMTED policies;

• the information supplied is accurate;

• the user is legally entitled to publish the Listing;

• applicable legal requirements have been considered; and

• the user will comply with requirements applicable to any subsequent activity or transfer.

ARMTED may record such declarations, including the applicable versions of the relevant rules and jurisdiction-specific supplements.

A compliance declaration is made by the user and does not constitute ARMTED’s independent confirmation that the Listing or any subsequent activity is lawful.

6.12. Verification Does Not Transfer Responsibility

ARMTED may verify certain users, businesses, information or documentation.

Such verification may be limited in scope and performed using information available at a particular time.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, verification does not constitute a representation or guarantee by ARMTED that:

• the user remains legally eligible for every activity;

• every licence or permit remains valid;

• the user may lawfully deal with every item;

• a particular Listing complies with every applicable law;

• a transaction with that user is safe; or

• information provided by the user will remain accurate after verification.

Users must perform any assessment or verification required of them by applicable law.

6.13. Moderation of Listings

ARMTED may use automated systems, manual review, user reports and other methods to moderate Listings.

ARMTED may, subject to applicable law:

• reject publication;

• request additional information;

• request corrections;

• change or correct technical classification;

• apply warnings or labels;

• limit visibility;

• exclude a Listing from search or recommendations;

• suspend publication;

• remove a Listing;

• prevent renewal;

• end promotion;

• restrict the publisher’s access to Listings; or

• take other appropriate enforcement action.

ARMTED may take preventive action where it reasonably considers a Listing to create a legal, safety, fraud, security or platform-integrity risk.

Moderation does not constitute legal review or approval of the Listing.

6.14. No Obligation to Pre-Approve Listings

Unless required by applicable law, ARMTED does not undertake to inspect or legally review every Listing before publication.

The fact that a Listing is available through ARMTED does not mean that ARMTED has:

• inspected the item;

• verified ownership;

• verified every statement in the Listing;

• verified every licence or authorization;

• determined the applicable law;

• confirmed that a transaction may lawfully occur; or

• approved or endorsed the item or publisher.

ARMTED may review a Listing before or after publication and may take action at any time as permitted or required by applicable law.

6.15. Contact Between Users

ARMTED may enable users to contact one another concerning Listings.

Users are responsible for their own communications and for deciding whether and how to proceed after contact has been established.

ARMTED does not guarantee:

• that another user will respond;

• the identity of an unverified user;

• that statements made by another user are accurate;

• that an item remains available;

• that parties will reach an agreement;

• that a contemplated activity is lawful; or

• that either party will perform an agreement.

Users should exercise appropriate care and independently comply with applicable legal requirements.

6.16. No Payment for Listed Firearms or Items Through the Listing Service

Unless ARMTED expressly introduces a separate transaction Service, payments made to ARMTED in connection with Listings are payments for ARMTED Services, such as publication, promotion or other platform functionality, and are not payments for the firearm or other item displayed in the Listing.

A fee paid to promote or publish a Listing:

• does not make ARMTED the seller of the listed item;

• does not constitute payment toward the purchase price of that item;

• does not make ARMTED an escrow provider;

• does not cause ARMTED to take title to or possession of the item; and

• does not make ARMTED a party to a subsequent transaction between users.

Specific rules governing payments to ARMTED are contained in the Paid Services Terms.

6.17. Promotion Does Not Constitute Endorsement

ARMTED may provide paid or unpaid mechanisms that increase the visibility of Listings.

A promoted, featured, sponsored, recommended or otherwise highlighted Listing is not thereby verified, certified or endorsed by ARMTED.

Promotion relates to the visibility or presentation of the Listing and does not constitute a representation concerning:

• legality;

• authenticity;

• quality;

• safety;

• value;

• seller reliability;

• availability; or

• suitability of the item.

Users remain responsible for conducting their own assessment.

6.18. No Guarantee of Listing Performance

ARMTED does not guarantee that a Listing will:

• be viewed;

• receive any particular number of impressions;

• appear in any particular search position;

• be recommended;

• generate messages or inquiries;

• result in an agreement;

• result in a lawful transfer; or

• achieve any particular commercial outcome.

Ranking, visibility and distribution may change over time.

Except where ARMTED expressly provides a specific guaranteed result as part of a paid Service, payment for publication or promotion does not guarantee any particular outcome.

6.19. Photographs and Videos Used in Listings

Photographs, videos, descriptions and other materials submitted in connection with a Listing constitute User Content and are subject to Section 4 (User Content).

Accordingly, submitting photographs or videos to a Listing grants ARMTED the rights described in Section 4.

In particular, subject to those provisions, ARMTED may reuse eligible photographs and videos originally submitted to a Listing outside that Listing, including:

• in ARMTED firearm and product catalogues;

• on manufacturer and model pages;

• in category and reference pages;

• in search and discovery;

• in editorial and informational content;

• on ARMTED websites and applications;

• on official ARMTED social media channels; and

• in advertising, promotional and marketing materials for ARMTED and its Services.

Removal, expiry or completion of a Listing does not by itself require ARMTED to remove every authorized use of the relevant photograph or video, subject to Section 4 and applicable law.

6.20. Listing Information and Platform Data

ARMTED may process information concerning Listings and interactions with Listings for purposes described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

Subject to applicable law, this may include using information and signals concerning:

• Listings created;

• categories;

• manufacturers and models;

• prices;

• locations;

• searches;

• views;

• saves;

• interactions;

• inquiries;

• popularity;

• engagement; and

• other Listing-related activity

to operate, secure, analyze, improve and personalize the Services.

Where permitted by applicable law and subject to required consent choices, such information and signals may also be used to select, rank and present recommendations, advertising, sponsored content, promoted Listings and other commercial content within ARMTED.

6.21. Catalogue and Statistical Information Derived from Listings

Subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy, ARMTED may use information derived from Listings and use of the Listings Service to create and improve:

• catalogues;

• classifications;

• product records;

• search indexes;

• aggregated statistics;

• market insights;

• recommendation systems;

• popularity indicators;

• pricing or market information;

• trend information; and

• other ARMTED products, datasets and features.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may continue using information that has been lawfully aggregated, anonymized or otherwise transformed so that it is no longer personal data, including after the underlying Listing or account has been removed.

Nothing in this Section transfers ownership to ARMTED of a user’s firearm or other physical property.

6.22. Disputes Between Users

Users are responsible for resolving disputes arising from agreements or interactions between them concerning Listings.

ARMTED may choose to provide reporting, support, communication or other assistance but, unless required by applicable law or expressly agreed otherwise, ARMTED is not obligated to mediate, adjudicate or resolve private contractual disputes between users.

ARMTED’s decision to assist in one dispute does not create an obligation to assist in another.

ARMTED retains the right to take independent platform enforcement action where a dispute reveals fraud, abuse, unlawful conduct or a violation of ARMTED policies.

6.23. Reports Concerning Listings

Users and third parties may report Listings that they believe violate applicable law, these Terms or ARMTED policies.

ARMTED may investigate and take action based on available information.

A report does not automatically require removal of the Listing, and the absence of removal does not constitute ARMTED’s endorsement or legal approval of it.

Where applicable law establishes specific notice-and-action procedures, ARMTED will process qualifying notices in accordance with those requirements.

6.24. Preservation of Information

Where permitted or required by applicable law, ARMTED may preserve information concerning Listings, users, communications, compliance declarations, moderation actions and related activity after a Listing has been removed or an account has been deleted.

Such preservation may be undertaken for purposes including:

• compliance with legal obligations;

• fraud prevention;

• safety;

• security;

• investigation of abuse;

• moderation and enforcement;

• responding to lawful requests;

• establishing, exercising or defending legal claims; and

• resolving disputes.

Retention of personal data is additionally governed by the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

6.25. No Legal Advice

Information, notices, warnings, classifications, jurisdiction rules, compliance prompts and other materials provided through ARMTED are intended to assist operation of the platform and do not constitute legal advice.

ARMTED does not undertake to provide users with a complete or continuously updated statement of firearms law or other applicable law in every jurisdiction.

Users remain responsible for obtaining appropriate professional advice where necessary and for determining the legal requirements applicable to their activities.

6.26. Changes to the Listings Service

The Listings Service is not guaranteed to remain available.

As provided elsewhere in these Terms, ARMTED may introduce, modify, restrict, suspend or discontinue the Listings Service, individual Listing categories or particular Listing functionality, globally or in selected jurisdictions, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

ARMTED may also change:

• publication requirements;

• available categories;

• Listing duration;

• technical limits;

• eligibility requirements;

• verification requirements;

• visibility rules;

• ranking systems;

• promotion mechanisms;

• geographic restrictions; and

• free or paid functionality.

No previous access to the Listings Service creates a permanent right to its continued availability or continued operation in the same form.

7. Bookings

7.1. Booking Service

ARMTED may provide functionality that enables users to discover availability and request, create, manage or cancel bookings with shooting ranges, clubs, businesses, instructors, event organizers or other third-party service providers (the “Booking Service”).

The Booking Service is an optional ARMTED Service.

Unless ARMTED expressly states otherwise for a particular offering, ARMTED provides the technological functionality through which a booking may be arranged but does not itself provide the underlying service that is the subject of the booking.

The underlying service is provided by the relevant shooting range, business, organization, instructor or other third party (the “Provider”).

Use of the Booking Service may additionally be governed by the Booking Terms and by terms, rules or policies established by the relevant Provider.

7.2. ARMTED Is Not the Provider

Unless expressly stated otherwise, ARMTED:

• does not operate the shooting range, business or other facility being booked;

• does not provide the shooting, training, rental, instruction or other underlying service;

• does not employ or supervise the Provider’s personnel;

• does not control the Provider’s premises;

• does not control the Provider’s equipment;

• does not determine the Provider’s safety procedures;

• does not guarantee the Provider’s compliance with applicable law;

• does not guarantee that the Provider possesses every licence, permit, authorization or qualification required for its activities; and

• is not responsible for performance of the underlying service merely because the booking was created through ARMTED.

The existence of a Provider profile, verification status, rating, review, availability calendar or Booking functionality on ARMTED does not by itself constitute a guarantee, certification or endorsement of that Provider.

7.3. Relationship Between the User and the Provider

Unless expressly stated otherwise, any agreement concerning the underlying booked service is between the user and the Provider.

ARMTED is not a party to that agreement merely because ARMTED:

• displays the Provider;

• displays available dates or times;

• enables a booking request;

• confirms that a booking has been recorded in the system;

• sends notifications;

• enables communication between the parties;

• displays a price or other information supplied by the Provider;

• displays reviews or ratings;

• verifies certain Provider information; or

• provides other technical functionality related to the booking.

The Provider is responsible for performing its obligations relating to the booked service.

7.4. Availability Information

Booking availability displayed through ARMTED may depend on information provided or maintained by Providers and on technical information available to ARMTED.

ARMTED does not guarantee that a date, time, place, resource, service or other availability displayed through the Booking Service will ultimately remain available.

Availability information may become inaccurate or unavailable as a result of, among other things:

• Provider actions;

• simultaneous reservations;

• scheduling errors;

• delayed synchronization;

• technical failures;

• incorrect Provider information;

• facility closures;

• staffing changes;

• equipment availability;

• legal or regulatory restrictions;

• safety requirements;

• weather or other external circumstances; or

• modification or suspension of the Booking Service.

Users should review any final confirmation and, where appropriate, verify material booking details with the Provider.

7.5. Booking Requests and Confirmations

ARMTED may support different booking models.

Depending on the Provider or Service, a booking may:

• be confirmed immediately;

• require acceptance by the Provider;

• remain pending;

• require additional information;

• be subject to Provider eligibility requirements; or

• otherwise depend on conditions communicated through the Booking Service.

A technical indication that a request has been submitted does not necessarily mean that the underlying service has been finally confirmed.

The information presented through ARMTED or a booking confirmation should be interpreted according to the applicable Booking Terms and Provider rules.

7.6. Provider Responsibility

Providers are responsible for maintaining reasonably accurate information concerning the services they make available through the Booking Service.

This may include:

• availability;

• opening hours;

• available resources;

• prices where displayed;

• service descriptions;

• participation requirements;

• age restrictions;

• licence or permit requirements;

• equipment requirements;

• safety rules;

• cancellation conditions; and

• other material conditions applicable to the service.

Providers are also responsible for performing the underlying service in accordance with applicable law and their obligations toward users.

ARMTED does not independently verify every item of information supplied by every Provider.

7.7. User Responsibility

Users are responsible for reviewing the information applicable to a booking and determining whether they satisfy the requirements for the underlying service.

Depending on the service, this may include requirements concerning:

• age;

• identity;

• licences;

• permits;

• legal eligibility;

• training;

• experience;

• safety rules;

• clothing or equipment;

• arrival time;

• identification documents;

• firearms or ammunition;

• local rules;

• Provider regulations; and

• other participation requirements.

A successful booking through ARMTED does not constitute confirmation by ARMTED that the user satisfies every legal or Provider requirement.

The Provider may independently verify eligibility before providing the service.

7.8. Firearms, Equipment and Shooting Activities

Where a booking concerns a shooting range or another firearms-related activity, the user and Provider remain responsible for compliance with applicable firearms, safety and other laws.

The availability of Booking functionality does not constitute confirmation by ARMTED that:

• a user may legally possess or use a particular firearm;

• a firearm may lawfully be transported to the Provider;

• particular ammunition may lawfully be possessed or used;

• a user satisfies applicable age requirements;

• a user possesses required licences or permits;

• a Provider may lawfully provide a particular activity; or

• the activity is lawful in every circumstance.

ARMTED does not provide firearms safety supervision merely by enabling a booking.

Users must comply with the instructions and lawful safety requirements of the relevant Provider.

7.9. Provider Rules

Providers may establish their own reasonable rules governing the services they provide.

These may include rules concerning:

• cancellations;

• late arrival;

• no-shows;

• identification;

• licences and permits;

• age;

• safety;

• firearms and ammunition;

• equipment;

• guests;

• conduct;

• facility access; and

• other operational matters.

Where those rules form part of the agreement between the Provider and user, responsibility for communicating and enforcing them rests primarily with the Provider.

Provider rules must not override applicable law or ARMTED rules.

7.10. Prices and Other Information

ARMTED may display prices, fees or other commercial information supplied by Providers.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, such information is provided on behalf of or based on information supplied by the Provider.

The Provider is responsible for ensuring that its pricing and other required consumer information is accurate and complies with applicable law.

Where the Booking Service does not collect payment for the underlying service, any payment arrangement is made separately between the user and Provider.

The mere display of a price through ARMTED does not make ARMTED the seller or Provider of the underlying service.

7.11. Payments

ARMTED may, but is not required to, introduce functionality allowing payments relating to bookings.

The availability of Booking does not imply that ARMTED provides payment processing for the underlying booked service.

If ARMTED introduces booking-related payment functionality, additional terms may apply and ARMTED may require users and Providers to accept those terms before using it.

ARMTED may introduce, modify, restrict or discontinue booking-related payment functionality independently from the Booking Service itself.

7.12. Cancellations and Changes by Users or Providers

Bookings may be changed or cancelled in accordance with the applicable Booking Terms, Provider rules and mandatory law.

A Provider may need to cancel or modify a booking because of circumstances including:

• facility closure;

• staffing;

• equipment failure;

• safety concerns;

• legal restrictions;

• incorrect availability;

• operational circumstances; or

• force majeure.

ARMTED does not guarantee that a booking, once recorded or confirmed, will never be changed or cancelled by the Provider.

Where mandatory law gives a user rights against a Provider following cancellation or non-performance, those rights are not excluded by these Terms.

7.13. No Guarantee of Performance

ARMTED does not guarantee that a Provider will perform a booked service, perform it at a particular standard or perform it exactly as described.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED does not assume responsibility merely as operator of the Booking Service for:

• Provider cancellations;

• Provider no-shows;

• incorrect Provider availability;

• delays;

• facility closures;

• service quality;

• Provider conduct;

• equipment supplied by the Provider;

• conditions at the Provider’s premises;

• Provider personnel;

• failure of the Provider to perform;

• differences between the description and the service provided; or

• disputes between users and Providers.

Nothing in this Section excludes responsibility that ARMTED itself cannot lawfully exclude.

7.14. Safety

Activities booked through ARMTED may include activities involving firearms and other inherent risks.

ARMTED’s role in providing Booking technology does not make ARMTED responsible for supervising the underlying activity.

The Provider is responsible for safety obligations applicable to the services it provides.

Users are responsible for following applicable law, Provider safety rules and instructions and for acting responsibly.

ARMTED does not warrant that a Provider’s premises, equipment, procedures or activities are free from risk merely because the Provider or booking is displayed through ARMTED.

7.15. Reviews and Ratings

ARMTED may allow users to review or rate Providers or booked services.

Reviews and ratings constitute User Content and are subject to these Terms and applicable ARMTED policies.

ARMTED may use reviews, ratings and booking-related signals to:

• rank Providers;

• recommend Providers;

• operate search and discovery;

• identify potentially problematic activity;

• improve the Services; and

• provide information to other users.

A rating, review, ranking or recommendation does not constitute a guarantee by ARMTED concerning the Provider or future services.

7.16. Booking Data and Personalization

Subject to the Privacy Policy, applicable law and required consent choices, ARMTED may process information concerning use of the Booking Service to operate, secure, analyze, develop, improve and personalize ARMTED.

This may include information and signals concerning:

• Providers viewed;

• locations viewed;

• searches;

• booking requests;

• bookings made;

• booking categories;

• dates and times;

• interactions with Providers;

• cancellations;

• preferences;

• reviews and ratings; and

• other interactions with the Booking Service.

Where permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may use relevant information and signals to:

• recommend Providers, ranges, businesses, events and other Services;

• personalize search and discovery;

• determine content relevance;

• improve ARMTED recommendation systems;

• develop new features;

• analyze use of the Booking Service; and

• select, rank and present advertising, sponsored, promoted and other commercial content within ARMTED.

Where a particular use requires consent under applicable law, ARMTED will obtain that consent separately as required.

7.17. Suspension or Removal of Providers

ARMTED may restrict, suspend or remove a Provider or its access to Booking functionality where reasonably necessary because of:

• violation of ARMTED rules;

• credible safety concerns;

• suspected fraud;

• repeated booking problems;

• materially inaccurate information;

• legal or regulatory risk;

• complaints;

• verification issues;

• technical requirements; or

• other legitimate platform-integrity concerns.

ARMTED’s decision to restrict or remove a Provider does not make ARMTED responsible for the Provider’s previous conduct.

ARMTED may take preventive action before a final determination where reasonably necessary to protect users or the platform, subject to applicable law.

7.18. Suspension and Discontinuation of the Booking Service

The Booking Service is not guaranteed to remain available.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may at any time:

• introduce Booking;

• modify Booking;

• change how bookings are created or confirmed;

• add or remove booking functionality;

• restrict Booking to particular Providers;

• restrict Booking to particular users;

• restrict Booking to particular account types;

• restrict Booking geographically;

• temporarily suspend Booking;

• disable Booking for individual Providers or users;

• discontinue Booking in a particular country or market; or

• discontinue the Booking Service entirely.

ARMTED may take such action for legal, regulatory, safety, technical, operational, strategic, commercial or other legitimate reasons.

The previous availability or use of the Booking Service does not create a permanent right for a user or Provider to continue using it.

Unless required by applicable law or expressly agreed otherwise, ARMTED is not required to maintain Booking for any minimum period.

7.19. No Guarantee of Booking Service Availability

ARMTED does not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free availability of the Booking Service.

Booking functionality may be affected by:

• maintenance;

• deployments;

• software defects;

• synchronization failures;

• network failures;

• infrastructure failures;

• Provider systems;

• third-party services;

• inaccurate availability data;

• cyber incidents;

• legal restrictions; or

• other circumstances.

ARMTED does not guarantee that a booking request will be successfully transmitted, recorded, confirmed or synchronized in every circumstance.

Where a booking is important or time-sensitive, users and Providers should independently verify relevant booking information where appropriate.

7.20. Booking Records

ARMTED may maintain records concerning bookings and related activity where necessary or permitted for:

• operation of the Booking Service;

• user and Provider support;

• security;

• fraud prevention;

• dispute handling;

• moderation;

• analytics;

• compliance with legal obligations;

• establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and

• other purposes described in the Privacy Policy.

Deletion of an account does not necessarily require immediate deletion of every booking record where continued retention is required or permitted by applicable law.

7.21. Disputes Between Users and Providers

Disputes concerning the underlying service should generally be resolved between the user and Provider.

ARMTED may choose to provide communication, reporting, support or other tools that assist with a dispute but, unless required by applicable law or expressly agreed otherwise, ARMTED is not required to adjudicate or resolve disputes between users and Providers.

ARMTED may independently take platform enforcement action where a dispute indicates fraud, abuse, safety concerns or violations of ARMTED policies.

Assistance provided in one case does not create an obligation for ARMTED to provide the same assistance in every other case.

7.22. Third-Party Relationships

A Provider’s presence on ARMTED does not create an employment, agency, partnership, franchise, joint venture or similar relationship between ARMTED and that Provider merely by virtue of its use of the Booking Service.

Providers operate independently unless ARMTED expressly agrees otherwise in writing.

Providers have no authority to make commitments, representations or warranties on behalf of ARMTED unless expressly authorized to do so.

7.23. No Reliance on Booking as a Critical System

Users and Providers must not rely on ARMTED as their sole system for information that requires guaranteed availability or permanent preservation.

Providers are responsible for maintaining appropriate independent operational records where reasonably necessary for their business.

Users should retain information necessary for important or time-sensitive bookings.

ARMTED is not intended to function as an emergency communication system, safety-critical system or legally required business-record archive.

7.24. No Implied Commitment from Booking Functionality

The provision of Booking functionality, support, notifications, Provider tools or other booking-related assistance does not create obligations beyond those expressly provided in these Terms, the applicable Booking Terms or mandatory law.

ARMTED’s decision to provide particular functionality or assistance at one time does not require ARMTED to continue providing the same functionality or assistance indefinitely.

No past practice concerning Booking creates a commitment to maintain that practice in the future.

8. Paid Services

8.1. Paid Services

ARMTED may offer paid features, products and services (collectively, “Paid Services”).

Depending on the market and functionality currently made available by ARMTED, Paid Services may include:

• publication or enhanced publication of Listings;

• promoted or featured Listings;

• promoted posts, events, businesses or other content;

• increased or modified visibility;

• global or expanded catalogue presence;

• business or professional functionality;

• subscriptions;

• premium account functionality;

• additional limits or capabilities;

• advertising or promotional products; and

• other current or future paid functionality.

ARMTED determines which Paid Services are available and may offer different Paid Services, functionality and prices to different markets, jurisdictions or categories of users where permitted by applicable law.

The specific characteristics, duration and price of a Paid Service will be presented in connection with the relevant purchase.

8.2. Separate Paid Services Terms

Paid Services may additionally be governed by the Paid Services Terms, pricing information and other conditions presented at the time of purchase.

Where required, you may be asked to expressly accept the Paid Services Terms before completing a purchase.

The Paid Services Terms apply in addition to these Terms.

If there is a conflict concerning a specific Paid Service, the terms specifically governing that Paid Service will prevail in relation to that Service, subject to mandatory applicable law.

8.3. What You Are Purchasing

When purchasing a Paid Service, you purchase only the specific ARMTED functionality, entitlement or service described at the time of purchase.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, payment does not purchase or guarantee:

• any firearm or other item displayed in a Listing;

• completion of a transaction between users;

• any particular number of views;

• any particular number of impressions;

• any particular number of clicks;

• any particular number of messages or inquiries;

• any particular search position;

• permanent priority in search or recommendations;

• any sale;

• any booking;

• any customer;

• any follower or engagement;

• any particular commercial outcome; or

• continued availability of unrelated ARMTED Services.

A Paid Service should therefore not be interpreted as a guarantee of commercial success or a particular result.

8.4. Promotion and Increased Visibility

ARMTED may offer Paid Services that increase or otherwise modify the visibility or presentation of content.

Such Services may include promoted, featured, sponsored, highlighted or otherwise enhanced presentation of:

• Listings;

• posts;

• profiles;

• businesses;

• shooting ranges;

• events;

• groups; or

• other eligible content.

The precise effect of promotion may depend on the relevant Service and ARMTED’s systems at the time.

Promotion may affect factors such as placement, eligibility for particular surfaces, frequency of display, visual presentation or distribution.

Purchasing promotion does not guarantee any particular position, number of impressions, audience size, engagement or outcome unless ARMTED expressly provides a specific measurable guarantee as part of that Paid Service.

8.5. Ranking and Paid Promotion

Paid promotion may be one of the factors used by ARMTED in determining which content is displayed and how it is ordered.

Purchasing promotion does not necessarily mean that promoted content will appear above all non-promoted content or above all other promoted content.

ARMTED may take into account other factors including:

• relevance;

• location;

• language;

• market;

• user preferences;

• eligibility;

• content characteristics;

• safety and moderation signals;

• applicable law;

• campaign parameters;

• competing promotions; and

• technical or operational considerations.

ARMTED may modify its ranking, recommendation and promotional systems over time.

Unless expressly promised as part of a specific purchase, a user does not acquire a right to any particular algorithm, ranking methodology or placement methodology merely by purchasing promotion.

8.6. No Endorsement Through Payment

Payment to ARMTED does not cause ARMTED to endorse, certify or guarantee the user, business, Listing, product, service or other content being promoted.

Paid or promoted content remains subject to:

• these Terms;

• the Community Guidelines;

• the Listing Policy;

• the Firearms Listing Policy;

• applicable jurisdiction-specific rules; and

• other applicable ARMTED policies.

ARMTED may identify Paid or promoted content as advertising, sponsored, promoted or similar content where required or considered appropriate.

8.7. Moderation of Paid Content

Payment does not exempt content from moderation or enforcement.

ARMTED may reject, restrict, suspend or remove paid or promoted content where the content violates these Terms, ARMTED policies or applicable law, or where action is reasonably necessary to address fraud, safety, security or platform-integrity risks.

ARMTED may also terminate or restrict a promotion if the underlying content becomes unavailable or ineligible for promotion.

The fact that ARMTED accepted payment before identifying a violation does not prevent ARMTED from subsequently taking enforcement action.

Any entitlement to a refund in such circumstances is determined under the Paid Services Terms and mandatory applicable law.

8.8. User Responsibility for Promoted Content

The user purchasing a Paid Service remains responsible for content submitted or selected for promotion.

Purchasing promotion does not transfer responsibility for that content to ARMTED.

In particular, the user remains responsible for:

• accuracy;

• legality;

• required disclosures;

• rights to photographs and videos;

• intellectual property rights;

• advertising claims;

• Listing compliance;

• regulated-item requirements; and

• compliance with applicable law.

ARMTED’s acceptance of payment or activation of a promotion does not constitute legal approval of the promoted content.

8.9. Photographs, Videos and Other Content Used in Paid Services

Photographs, videos and other materials submitted, selected or made available in connection with Paid Services constitute User Content where applicable and remain subject to Section 4 (User Content).

Purchasing a Paid Service does not limit the licence granted to ARMTED under Section 4.

Accordingly, where User Content is otherwise eligible under Section 4, photographs and videos used in a promoted Listing, post, profile, event or other Paid Service may also be used by ARMTED for the broader purposes authorized by Section 4, including:

• ARMTED catalogues and databases;

• firearm, manufacturer and model pages;

• editorial and informational materials;

• ARMTED websites and applications;

• ARMTED’s official social media channels; and

• advertising, marketing and promotion of ARMTED and its Services.

Payment for promotion does not convert the relevant User Content into material that ARMTED may use only for the duration of the purchased promotion.

8.10. Prices

ARMTED may determine and modify prices for Paid Services.

Prices may vary based on factors including:

• market;

• country or jurisdiction;

• currency;

• type of account;

• type of Service;

• duration;

• scope;

• promotional campaign;

• taxes;

• commercial arrangements; and

• other legitimate pricing factors.

Unless applicable law requires otherwise, changing the price of a Paid Service does not affect a purchase already completed at the previously agreed price.

A previous price does not create a right to purchase the same Service at that price in the future.

8.11. Promotions, Discounts and Trials

ARMTED may offer discounts, promotional pricing, credits, trials or other special commercial arrangements.

Such offers may:

• be available only to selected users;

• be available only in selected markets;

• have eligibility requirements;

• be limited in time;

• have usage restrictions; and

• be withdrawn or modified before acceptance where permitted by applicable law.

The availability of a discount or promotional arrangement to one user does not create a right for another user to receive the same arrangement.

ARMTED is not required to continue a promotion or discount indefinitely.

8.12. Taxes

Prices may include or exclude applicable taxes depending on the market, applicable law and how the price is presented.

Users are responsible for taxes or other charges imposed on them in connection with their activities to the extent provided by applicable law.

ARMTED may calculate, collect, withhold or remit taxes where required.

Business users are responsible for providing accurate tax or business information where requested.

8.13. Payment Processing

Payments for Paid Services may be processed by third-party payment providers.

ARMTED may redirect users to or integrate with a third-party payment interface.

Use of a payment provider may be subject to additional terms and privacy practices of that provider.

ARMTED does not control the continued operation of third-party payment infrastructure.

A payment may fail, be delayed, rejected or require additional verification for reasons including:

• payment-provider requirements;

• bank or card-issuer decisions;

• fraud-prevention measures;

• authentication requirements;

• insufficient funds;

• technical failures;

• regulatory restrictions; or

• incorrect payment information.

ARMTED does not guarantee that every payment method will remain available.

8.14. Payment Methods

ARMTED may determine which payment methods are supported for particular Paid Services.

ARMTED may add or remove payment methods at any time, subject to applicable law and existing contractual commitments.

The previous availability of a particular card network, bank payment method, wallet or other payment mechanism does not create a right to its continued availability.

8.15. Activation of Paid Services

A Paid Service may become active immediately following successful payment or at another time specified during purchase.

Activation may depend on:

• successful payment confirmation;

• verification;

• eligibility;

• moderation;

• technical processing;

• applicable legal requirements; or

• other conditions disclosed in connection with the Service.

A payment authorization or pending payment does not necessarily mean that the Paid Service has been successfully activated.

8.16. Duration and Expiration

Paid Services may be offered for a defined period, number of uses or another specified duration.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, a time-limited Paid Service expires automatically at the end of the purchased period.

Expiration of a Paid Service may result in the loss of functionality or promotional treatment associated with that Service.

For example, expiration of a Listing promotion may cause the Listing to return to its ordinary visibility or status if the underlying Listing remains active.

ARMTED is not required to preserve the benefits of an expired Paid Service.

8.17. Subscriptions

Where ARMTED offers subscriptions, the applicable purchase interface and Paid Services Terms will specify relevant information concerning:

• billing frequency;

• price;

• renewal;

• cancellation;

• duration; and

• other material subscription conditions.

ARMTED may modify or discontinue subscription products subject to applicable law and the applicable terms governing existing subscriptions.

Nothing in these Terms should be interpreted as creating an automatic renewal unless such renewal is expressly disclosed and lawfully agreed.

8.18. Refunds

Refund eligibility is determined by:

• the Paid Services Terms;

• the conditions presented for the relevant purchase; and

• mandatory applicable law.

Except where required by applicable law or expressly provided by ARMTED, a user’s dissatisfaction with the performance or commercial results of a Paid Service does not by itself create a right to a refund.

In particular, absence of:

• sales;

• inquiries;

• messages;

• bookings;

• followers;

• clicks;

• views beyond any expressly guaranteed amount; or

• other desired commercial results

does not by itself mean that the Paid Service was not provided.

8.19. Refunds Following User Violations

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and the Paid Services Terms, a user may not be entitled to a refund for the unused portion of a Paid Service where ARMTED reasonably suspends or terminates that Service because of the user’s material violation of these Terms, applicable ARMTED policies or applicable law.

Nothing in this provision limits any refund or other remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

8.20. Chargebacks and Payment Disputes

If you believe that a charge is incorrect, you should use the support or dispute mechanisms made available by ARMTED or the relevant payment provider.

ARMTED may investigate chargebacks, payment disputes, suspected payment fraud and unauthorized transactions.

Where permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may restrict further purchases or Paid Services associated with accounts involved in fraudulent or abusive payment activity.

ARMTED may preserve relevant records for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and for fraud prevention, subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

8.21. Fraud and Abuse of Paid Services

You must not misuse Paid Services, payment systems, promotional credits, discounts, refunds or other commercial functionality.

Prohibited conduct includes:

• payment fraud;

• use of unauthorized payment credentials;

• fraudulent chargebacks;

• creation of accounts to repeatedly obtain introductory promotions;

• manipulation of promotional credits;

• resale of Paid Services where not authorized;

• manipulation of advertising or promotion systems; and

• other fraudulent or abusive conduct.

ARMTED may restrict or terminate access to Paid Services where reasonably necessary to prevent such abuse.

8.22. Changes to Paid Services

ARMTED may introduce, modify, replace or discontinue Paid Services and commercial models.

Subject to applicable law and existing contractual commitments, ARMTED may:

• introduce new Paid Services;

• discontinue existing Paid Services;

• change pricing;

• change duration;

• change eligibility requirements;

• change technical functionality;

• modify promotion mechanisms;

• change available markets;

• change payment providers;

• add or remove payment methods;

• introduce subscriptions;

• remove subscriptions;

• introduce advertising-supported Services;

• convert free functionality into paid functionality; or

• convert paid functionality into free functionality.

The fact that a Paid Service has previously been offered does not create an obligation for ARMTED to continue selling that Service.

8.23. Discontinuation During an Existing Paid Service

ARMTED may need to modify, suspend or discontinue functionality relevant to an existing Paid Service.

Where reasonably possible, ARMTED may satisfy an existing commitment by:

• continuing the purchased Service until expiration;

• providing substantially equivalent functionality;

• providing an appropriate extension;

• providing credit;

• providing a proportionate refund; or

• providing another remedy reasonably appropriate in the circumstances.

The remedy, if any, will depend on the nature of the Paid Service, applicable Paid Services Terms and mandatory law.

Nothing in these Terms requires ARMTED to maintain an entire platform feature indefinitely solely because it has previously been used in connection with a Paid Service.

8.24. Availability and Technical Interruptions

ARMTED does not guarantee uninterrupted availability of Paid Services except where a specific service-level commitment has been expressly provided.

Paid Services may be temporarily affected by maintenance, deployments, technical failures, third-party failures, security incidents or other circumstances affecting ARMTED.

A temporary interruption does not automatically create a right to a refund unless:

• ARMTED expressly agreed otherwise;

• the applicable Paid Services Terms provide otherwise; or

• mandatory applicable law requires a remedy.

Where a material interruption prevents delivery of a Paid Service, ARMTED may provide an extension, replacement, credit, refund or other remedy where appropriate or legally required.

8.25. No Guaranteed Continuity of the Underlying Service

A Paid Service associated with another ARMTED feature does not create an indefinite right to continued operation of that underlying feature.

For example, purchasing promotion relating to:

• a Listing;

• a business profile;

• an event;

• a booking-related feature; or

• another ARMTED Service

does not require ARMTED to maintain that type of Service permanently after the purchased Paid Service has expired.

As provided elsewhere in these Terms, ARMTED may modify, restrict or discontinue Services.

8.26. Data Used to Provide and Improve Paid Services

Subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law, ARMTED may process information concerning Paid Services and interactions with commercial content for purposes including:

• providing the purchased Service;

• measuring delivery and performance;

• fraud prevention;

• billing and accounting;

• customer support;

• improving Paid Services;

• developing new commercial products;

• understanding engagement;

• determining content relevance;

• operating recommendation systems; and

• improving ARMTED’s advertising and promotional systems.

Where permitted by applicable law and subject to required consent choices, information and signals concerning use of ARMTED may also be used to select, rank, personalize, measure and present advertising, sponsored content, promoted content and other commercial communications within ARMTED.

8.27. Advertising and Personalization

ARMTED may operate advertising and commercial-content systems independently of user-purchased Paid Services.

Accordingly, the Services may display advertising, sponsored content, promoted Listings, promoted posts, promoted events, commercial recommendations or other commercial content whether or not the user viewing such content has purchased a Paid Service.

Subject to applicable law, the Privacy Policy and required consent choices, ARMTED may use relevant information and signals to determine:

• whether commercial content is eligible to be displayed;

• which users or audiences may receive it;

• its relevance;

• its ranking;

• its frequency;

• its placement; and

• measurement of its performance.

Where applicable law requires separate consent for particular advertising, personalization, analytics or tracking activities, acceptance of these Terms does not replace that consent.

8.28. ARMTED’s Commercial Freedom

Except where restricted by mandatory applicable law or an existing express contractual commitment, ARMTED retains discretion to determine the commercial model through which the Services are funded and monetized.

ARMTED may operate using one or more models including:

• free Services;

• advertising-supported Services;

• Paid Services;

• subscriptions;

• promotions;

• business Services;

• sponsorships;

• commissions where lawfully introduced under separate terms;

• commercial partnerships; or

• other monetization models.

No user acquires a right to require ARMTED to maintain its current commercial model.

8.29. Third-Party Offers and Advertisers

ARMTED may display advertising or commercial offers from third parties.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, ARMTED is not the seller or provider of a third party’s advertised product or service merely because the advertisement appears through ARMTED.

Users are responsible for evaluating third-party offers and any agreement entered into with an advertiser or other third party.

ARMTED does not guarantee the availability, quality, legality, suitability or performance of third-party products or services merely because they are advertised through ARMTED.

8.30. No Partnership or Agency

The purchase or sale of Paid Services does not create a partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, fiduciary or agency relationship between ARMTED and the purchaser.

A business purchasing promotion or another Paid Service does not acquire authority to act or make representations on behalf of ARMTED.

8.31. Business Users

ARMTED may offer different Paid Services, prices, functionality or contractual arrangements to business users.

Where applicable law distinguishes between consumers and businesses, additional or different terms may apply to business users to the extent permitted by law.

Business users are responsible for providing accurate business, billing and tax information where required.

Nothing in these Terms grants a business user consumer rights to which it is not legally entitled.

8.32. Records and Evidence of Purchases

ARMTED may maintain records concerning:

• purchases;

• orders;

• prices;

• applicable terms;

• payment status;

• refunds;

• credits;

• promotions;

• disputes; and

• related account activity

where necessary or permitted for performance of the agreement, accounting, taxation, fraud prevention, customer support, legal compliance and the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Such processing is additionally governed by the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

8.33. Survival

Expiration, cancellation or termination of a Paid Service does not affect provisions that by their nature are intended to continue afterward.

This may include provisions concerning:

• outstanding payments;

• fraud;

• chargebacks;

• intellectual property;

• User Content licences;

• records;

• disputes;

• liability; and

• other accrued rights or obligations.

In particular, expiration of a Paid Service does not by itself terminate rights previously granted to ARMTED under Section 4 (User Content).

9. Intellectual Property

9.1. ARMTED Intellectual Property

ARMTED, the Services and the materials created, developed, selected, organized or made available by or on behalf of ARMTED are protected by intellectual property and other applicable laws.

Except for User Content and third-party materials, all rights, title and interest in and to ARMTED and the Services are owned by or licensed to ARMTED.

This includes, where applicable, rights in:

• the ARMTED name and brand;

• logos, trademarks and service marks;

• domain names;

• applications and websites;

• software;

• source code and object code;

• APIs and technical interfaces;

• databases;

• catalogues;

• directories;

• taxonomies and classifications;

• compilations;

• data structures;

• search functionality;

• recommendation and ranking systems;

• algorithms and models;

• interface designs;

• layouts;

• graphics;

• icons;

• audiovisual materials created by ARMTED;

• documentation;

• written materials;

• editorial content;

• promotional materials;

• designs;

• technical solutions;

• business methods to the extent protected by applicable law; and

• other materials created by or for ARMTED.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of ARMTED intellectual property to a user.

9.2. Limited Right to Use the Services

Subject to your compliance with these Terms, ARMTED grants you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable and revocable right to access and use the Services made available to you for their intended purposes.

This right:

• does not transfer ownership of any ARMTED intellectual property;

• does not authorize commercial exploitation of ARMTED itself except through functionality expressly provided for that purpose;

• applies only while you are entitled to access the relevant Service; and

• may end when your access to the relevant Service or account ends.

Any rights not expressly granted to you are reserved by ARMTED and its licensors.

9.3. No Right to Continued Access to ARMTED Intellectual Property or Services

A licence or right to use ARMTED under these Terms does not create a permanent entitlement to any particular Service, interface, catalogue, database, feature, API or other functionality.

As provided elsewhere in these Terms, ARMTED may modify, replace, restrict, suspend or discontinue Services.

If a Service is discontinued, the corresponding right to access or use functionality made available solely through that Service may also terminate.

Nothing in this Section requires ARMTED to maintain particular software, APIs, databases, catalogues, interfaces or functionality indefinitely.

9.4. Restrictions on Use

Except where expressly authorized by ARMTED or permitted by mandatory applicable law, you must not:

• copy or reproduce substantial parts of ARMTED;

• modify ARMTED software;

• distribute ARMTED software or proprietary materials;

• sell, rent, lease or sublicense access to ARMTED;

• create unauthorized derivative versions of ARMTED software;

• reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble ARMTED software;

• attempt to discover source code, non-public algorithms or non-public technical information;

• bypass technological protection or access-control measures;

• access non-public APIs or endpoints without authorization;

• systematically extract content or data;

• reproduce ARMTED catalogues or databases;

• create a substitute or competing service using ARMTED content or data;

• remove copyright, trademark or proprietary notices;

• falsely imply affiliation with or endorsement by ARMTED;

• use ARMTED trademarks without authorization; or

• otherwise exploit ARMTED intellectual property outside the rights expressly granted under these Terms.

Nothing in this provision restricts rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or restricted.

9.5. ARMTED Catalogues and Databases

ARMTED may create and maintain catalogues, databases, directories, indexes, taxonomies and other structured collections of information.

Such resources may include information concerning:

• firearms;

• manufacturers;

• firearm models and variants;

• calibres;

• products;

• accessories;

• Listings;

• businesses;

• shooting ranges;

• clubs;

• gunsmiths;

• events;

• services;

• locations; and

• other subjects relevant to ARMTED.

The individual facts contained in a catalogue or database may not themselves be owned by ARMTED.

However, ARMTED reserves all rights available under applicable law in the selection, obtaining, verification, arrangement, classification, structure, presentation, compilation, enrichment and maintenance of its catalogues and databases, including applicable copyright and database rights.

9.6. User Content Incorporated into ARMTED Resources

User Content may be incorporated into ARMTED catalogues, databases, directories, search indexes, informational materials and other Services in accordance with Section 4.

The incorporation of User Content into such a resource does not transfer the user’s underlying ownership rights in that User Content to ARMTED.

However, the user licence granted under Section 4 applies independently from any rights ARMTED may hold in:

• the catalogue or database as a whole;

• its structure;

• classifications;

• arrangement;

• metadata created by ARMTED;

• compilation;

• presentation;

• ARMTED-created descriptions;

• derived or independently generated information; and

• other ARMTED intellectual property.

Accordingly, a user’s ownership of an individual photograph, video or other contribution does not give that user ownership of an ARMTED catalogue, database or other compilation in which it appears.

9.7. Photographs and Videos

Rights concerning photographs, videos and other User Content submitted by users are governed principally by Section 4 (User Content).

For clarity, ARMTED’s intellectual property rights in the platform do not replace or reduce the licence granted by a user under Section 4.

Subject to that licence and applicable law, ARMTED may use eligible user photographs and videos in:

• ARMTED catalogues;

• firearm, manufacturer and model pages;

• product and category pages;

• directories and databases;

• search and discovery;

• editorial materials;

• informational materials;

• websites and applications;

• official social media channels;

• presentations;

• promotional campaigns;

• advertising; and

• marketing materials for ARMTED and its Services.

ARMTED may also create layouts, graphics, compilations, advertisements, videos, catalogue pages and other materials incorporating eligible User Content.

To the extent ARMTED itself creates protectable elements of those materials, ARMTED retains its intellectual property rights in those elements without affecting ownership of the underlying User Content.

9.8. ARMTED-Created Metadata and Classification

ARMTED may generate, create, infer, calculate or assign information concerning content and other resources on the platform.

This may include:

• categories;

• tags;

• classifications;

• normalized manufacturer or model information;

• identifiers;

• catalogue relationships;

• search indexes;

• relevance information;

• popularity indicators;

• ranking signals;

• moderation classifications;

• quality signals;

• technical metadata;

• derived attributes; and

• other organizational or analytical information.

To the extent such materials or compilations are protectable under applicable law, ARMTED retains the applicable rights in them.

A user does not acquire ownership of ARMTED-created metadata merely because it relates to that user’s account, Listing or User Content.

Nothing in this Section determines ownership of personal data or limits rights individuals have concerning personal data under applicable law.

9.9. Aggregated, Anonymized and Derived Information

Subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy, ARMTED may generate aggregated, statistical, anonymized or otherwise derived information from operation and use of the Services.

Such information may concern, for example:

• platform usage;

• content trends;

• Listing activity;

• search activity;

• engagement;

• popularity;

• geographic patterns;

• booking activity;

• categories;

• products;

• manufacturers;

• market activity;

• advertising performance; and

• other characteristics of the Services.

To the extent information has been lawfully anonymized so that it no longer constitutes personal data, ARMTED may use such information for purposes including:

• analytics;

• research;

• product development;

• commercial planning;

• catalogue development;

• market analysis;

• recommendation systems;

• advertising systems;

• reporting;

• statistics; and

• development and improvement of ARMTED.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may retain and use such non-personal aggregated or anonymized information after deletion of the underlying account or User Content.

9.10. Personal Data and Intellectual Property Are Separate

Nothing in this Section should be interpreted as claiming ownership by ARMTED of a user’s personal data.

Rights and obligations concerning personal data are governed by applicable data-protection law and the Privacy Policy.

However, the fact that information originates from activity associated with a user does not prevent ARMTED from lawfully:

• processing that information where it has an appropriate legal basis;

• generating statistics and analytics;

• creating recommendations;

• measuring Service performance;

• operating ranking systems;

• developing ARMTED;

• generating lawfully anonymized information; or

• using information for advertising and commercial-content systems where permitted by applicable law and subject to required consent choices.

Acceptance of these Terms does not replace a separate consent where applicable law requires one.

9.11. Ranking, Recommendation and Advertising Systems

ARMTED may develop and operate systems for:

• ranking;

• recommendation;

• search;

• personalization;

• advertising;

• sponsored content;

• promoted content;

• fraud detection;

• abuse prevention;

• moderation; and

• other automated or semi-automated functions.

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED retains its rights in the software, models, methods, structures, configurations, non-public signals, weighting systems and other proprietary elements used to operate those systems.

Users do not acquire a right to access ARMTED’s non-public algorithms, source code, model parameters, proprietary weighting or confidential technical information merely because those systems affect content shown to them.

Nothing in this provision limits transparency obligations imposed on ARMTED by mandatory applicable law.

9.12. No Right to Rankings, Metrics or Historical Results

Users do not acquire intellectual property or other proprietary rights in:

• their position in search results;

• recommendation placement;

• visibility levels;

• reach;

• popularity indicators;

• algorithmic classifications;

• promotional placement; or

• similar results generated by ARMTED systems.

ARMTED may modify the systems that produce such results as provided in these Terms.

Historical ranking or visibility does not create a right to equivalent future treatment.

9.13. ARMTED Trademarks

The ARMTED name, logos, product names, service names, slogans, designs and other brand identifiers may constitute trademarks or other protected identifiers of ARMTED or its licensors.

Except where expressly authorized, you may not use ARMTED branding in a manner that:

• suggests sponsorship or endorsement;

• suggests an official partnership;

• creates confusion concerning affiliation;

• impersonates ARMTED;

• misrepresents the source of a product or service; or

• otherwise infringes ARMTED’s rights.

Permitted references to ARMTED for ordinary descriptive purposes remain subject to applicable law.

9.14. Usernames and Account Identifiers

A username, handle, profile name or similar identifier made available through ARMTED does not necessarily create ownership or trademark rights in that identifier.

ARMTED may, subject to applicable law, change, reclaim, restrict or remove an identifier where reasonably necessary because of:

• infringement of third-party rights;

• impersonation;

• fraud;

• security;

• inactivity under an applicable policy;

• violation of ARMTED rules;

• technical requirements;

• misleading use;

• protection of ARMTED branding; or

• other legitimate platform-integrity reasons.

ARMTED does not guarantee permanent availability of any particular username or identifier.

9.15. Suggestions, Ideas and Feedback

If you voluntarily provide ARMTED with suggestions, ideas, concepts, proposals, recommendations or other feedback concerning ARMTED or the Services (“Feedback”), you agree that ARMTED may use, develop, reproduce, modify, commercialize and otherwise exploit that Feedback without restriction and without compensation or other obligation to you, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

You acknowledge that ARMTED may already be developing or may later independently develop functionality, products, services or concepts similar to Feedback provided by you.

Submitting Feedback does not give you ownership of any ARMTED feature, development or implementation based on or similar to that Feedback.

9.16. Unauthorized Copies and Competing Services

Except where permitted by applicable law, you must not use ARMTED content, data, catalogues or Services to create, populate or materially enhance a substitute or competing platform through systematic copying or extraction.

In particular, without authorization you must not systematically:

• copy ARMTED firearm catalogue records;

• reproduce ARMTED directories;

• download ARMTED photographs or videos;

• copy Listing databases;

• extract business or shooting-range databases;

• replicate ARMTED classifications or compilations;

• harvest profiles or contact information; or

• use ARMTED APIs or interfaces to maintain an unauthorized mirror of the Services.

This Section does not prohibit lawful competition or independent creation using information that ARMTED does not have a lawful right to restrict.

9.17. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Except where expressly authorized by ARMTED or permitted by mandatory applicable law, users and third parties may not systematically extract or use ARMTED-provided content, catalogues, databases or other protected materials for the purpose of training, fine-tuning, evaluating, benchmarking or developing artificial-intelligence or machine-learning systems.

ARMTED may grant separate licences for such uses.

Nothing in this Section restricts ARMTED’s own lawful use of information, User Content or other materials within the scope of rights granted to ARMTED under these Terms, other agreements and applicable law, including for development, improvement, classification, recommendation, search, safety, moderation and other ARMTED functionality.

Where ARMTED’s processing involves personal data, the Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law apply.

9.18. Third-Party Intellectual Property

ARMTED may contain materials, trademarks, software, information or other intellectual property belonging to third parties.

Third-party materials remain subject to the rights of their respective owners and, where applicable, separate licence terms.

The presence of third-party content or branding on ARMTED does not transfer ownership of that material to ARMTED or to users.

Users must respect third-party intellectual property rights when using the Services.

9.19. Intellectual Property Complaints

A person who believes that material available through ARMTED infringes intellectual property rights may submit a complaint through the procedures provided by ARMTED.

ARMTED may request information reasonably necessary to assess the complaint, including:

• identification of the protected work or right;

• identification of the allegedly infringing material;

• contact information;

• information concerning ownership or authorization;

• the basis of the complaint; and

• statements or confirmations required by applicable law.

ARMTED may restrict or remove content where appropriate or legally required.

Further procedures may be described in the Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy.

9.20. Repeat or Serious Infringement

ARMTED may take action against accounts that repeatedly or seriously infringe intellectual property rights.

Depending on the circumstances, such action may include:

• warnings;

• removal of content;

• restriction of publication;

• restriction of particular Services;

• suspension; or

• termination of the account.

ARMTED may consider the seriousness, frequency, circumstances and credibility of infringement claims when determining appropriate action.

Any notice, explanation, complaint or appeal rights required by applicable law remain unaffected.

9.21. Counter-Notices and Disputes

Where appropriate or required by applicable law, ARMTED may provide mechanisms allowing users to contest intellectual property complaints or content-removal decisions.

ARMTED is not required to adjudicate complex disputes concerning ownership between private parties beyond obligations imposed by applicable law.

ARMTED may maintain a restriction while the parties resolve an ownership dispute where reasonably necessary to limit legal or platform risk.

9.22. Preservation of Evidence

ARMTED may preserve records concerning intellectual property complaints, allegedly infringing content, enforcement actions and related communications where permitted or required by applicable law.

Such records may be retained for purposes including:

• legal compliance;

• handling disputes;

• identifying repeat infringement;

• establishing, exercising or defending legal claims;

• preventing abuse of reporting systems; and

• protecting ARMTED and third-party rights.

Personal data contained in such records is processed in accordance with the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

9.23. No Obligation to Commercialize or Maintain Intellectual Property

ARMTED may determine how and whether to use, develop, license, commercialize, modify or discontinue its intellectual property, products and Services.

The existence of:

• a catalogue;

• database;

• API;

• application;

• feature;

• classification system;

• recommendation system;

• integration;

• brand;

• product name; or

• other ARMTED resource

does not create an obligation for ARMTED to maintain, update or continue providing that resource indefinitely.

ARMTED may replace or discontinue such resources as provided in these Terms.

9.24. Corporate Transactions

To the extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may transfer, assign or license its intellectual property and contractual rights in connection with:

• a merger;

• acquisition;

• restructuring;

• financing;

• sale of shares;

• sale of assets;

• transfer of a business or Service; or

• similar corporate transaction.

Rights granted to ARMTED under Section 4 may also be transferred or sublicensed in accordance with that Section.

Nothing in these Terms gives a user a right to prevent an otherwise lawful transfer of the ARMTED business or its assets merely because the user uses the Services.

9.25. Reservation of Rights

Except for rights expressly granted under these Terms, all rights are reserved by ARMTED and its licensors.

No provision of these Terms should be interpreted as granting a licence or right by implication, estoppel or otherwise beyond the rights expressly stated.

ARMTED’s failure to enforce an intellectual property right in a particular instance does not constitute a waiver of that right.

The termination of an account, discontinuation of a Service or termination of these Terms does not affect intellectual property rights, licences or obligations that by their nature or express terms are intended to survive.

10. Moderation, Reports and Enforcement

10.1. ARMTED’s Right to Moderate

ARMTED may moderate, review, classify, restrict, remove, preserve or otherwise take action in relation to content, accounts and activity on the Services.

Moderation may be undertaken for purposes including:

• enforcing these Terms;

• enforcing the Community Guidelines and other ARMTED policies;

• compliance with applicable law;

• protection of users and third parties;

• fraud prevention;

• prevention of abuse, spam and manipulation;

• protection of intellectual property;

• protection of ARMTED’s systems, reputation and commercial interests;

• maintaining the integrity, relevance and quality of the Services;

• responding to reports or legal notices;

• complying with court orders or governmental requirements; and

• other legitimate safety, legal, technical or operational purposes.

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may take action before actual harm occurs where it reasonably considers preventive action appropriate.

10.2. Content Subject to Moderation

Moderation may apply to any content or activity made available through ARMTED, including:

• profiles;

• usernames and handles;

• posts;

• comments;

• photographs;

• videos;

• reviews and ratings;

• Listings;

• Listing photographs and videos;

• businesses and business information;

• groups;

• events;

• booking-related content;

• advertisements;

• promoted content;

• catalogue contributions;

• public communications;

• reports;

• account information; and

• other content or activity associated with the Services.

Private communications may also be subject to limited processing or review where permitted by applicable law and reasonably necessary for purposes such as user reports, abuse prevention, security, legal compliance or enforcement.

10.3. Methods of Moderation

ARMTED may use one or more moderation methods, including:

• user reports;

• human review;

• automated detection;

• rules-based systems;

• machine-learning systems;

• filters;

• risk scoring;

• metadata analysis;

• account and activity signals;

• trusted or authoritative notices;

• third-party information; and

• other reasonable technical or operational mechanisms.

ARMTED is not required to use the same moderation method for every type of content or activity.

Automated tools may assist ARMTED in prioritizing, classifying, restricting or identifying content for review, subject to applicable law.

10.4. No Obligation to Pre-Review All Content

Unless required by applicable law, ARMTED does not undertake to review, verify or approve all content before it becomes available through the Services.

The presence of content on ARMTED does not mean that ARMTED:

• has reviewed it;

• has verified its accuracy;

• has verified its legality;

• approves it;

• endorses it;

• guarantees it;

• accepts responsibility for it; or

• considers it appropriate for every user or jurisdiction.

ARMTED may review content before or after publication and may act at any time where permitted or required by law.

10.5. Reports by Users and Third Parties

ARMTED may provide mechanisms allowing users and third parties to report content, accounts or conduct.

Reports may concern matters such as:

• illegal content;

• prohibited Listings;

• fraud or scams;

• harassment;

• threats;

• impersonation;

• intellectual property infringement;

• misleading content;

• spam;

• safety concerns; or

• other violations of ARMTED policies.

Submitting a report does not guarantee that ARMTED will remove the reported content or impose a particular sanction.

ARMTED may assess the report, available evidence, context, applicable policy and legal requirements before taking action.

10.6. False or Abusive Reports

You must not knowingly submit false, deceptive or abusive reports.

You must not use ARMTED reporting systems to:

• harass another user;

• suppress lawful content for competitive or personal reasons;

• coordinate mass-reporting campaigns;

• manipulate moderation;

• knowingly make false allegations; or

• otherwise abuse reporting functionality.

ARMTED may restrict reporting functionality or take other enforcement action against users who materially or repeatedly abuse reporting systems, subject to applicable law.

10.7. Moderation Measures

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may take one or more measures in response to content, conduct, risk or suspected violations.

Measures may include:

• taking no action;

• requesting clarification;

• requesting additional information;

• requesting correction of content;

• applying a warning;

• applying a label or notice;

• changing technical classification;

• restricting distribution;

• reducing visibility;

• excluding content from recommendations;

• excluding content from search;

• restricting geographic availability;

• restricting access to particular users;

• disabling comments or interactions;

• removing photographs or videos;

• hiding content;

• removing content;

• preventing publication;

• preventing republication;

• preventing renewal of a Listing;

• ending or suspending promotion;

• restricting messaging;

• restricting Listings;

• restricting Booking;

• restricting business or Partners functionality;

• requiring verification;

• terminating active sessions;

• imposing account-level restrictions;

• temporarily suspending an account; or

• terminating an account.

ARMTED may use different measures for different Services or violations.

10.8. Visibility and Distribution Measures

ARMTED is not limited to binary decisions of keeping or deleting content.

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may adjust the distribution or visibility of content without removing it entirely.

This may include:

• reducing distribution;

• excluding content from recommendation systems;

• excluding content from particular feeds;

• limiting geographic distribution;

• limiting discoverability;

• reducing search visibility;

• disabling promotion;

• limiting commercial distribution; or

• presenting warnings or contextual information.

A user’s ability to publish content does not create a right to any particular reach, ranking or distribution.

10.9. Immediate Protective Action

ARMTED may take immediate temporary or permanent action without advance notice where reasonably necessary to address:

• credible threats to safety;

• suspected illegal activity;

• serious fraud;

• cybersecurity risks;

• account compromise;

• child safety concerns;

• serious harassment;

• attempted circumvention;

• severe violations involving regulated items;

• material risk to ARMTED or third parties; or

• another urgent legal or security concern.

Where applicable law requires subsequent notice, reasons or an opportunity to challenge the action, ARMTED will provide those rights as required.

10.10. Moderation Is Not Legal Certification

Any moderation decision concerning content, a Listing, user or business is made for ARMTED’s platform-governance purposes.

An approval, restoration, absence of enforcement action or other moderation outcome does not constitute:

• legal advice;

• confirmation that content is lawful;

• certification of a firearm or regulated item;

• confirmation that a user is legally eligible to engage in a transaction or activity;

• verification of every factual statement;

• endorsement by ARMTED; or

• a guarantee concerning future conduct.

Users remain responsible for their own legal compliance.

10.11. Listing Review

ARMTED may apply additional review or moderation procedures to Listings.

ARMTED may:

• review Listings before publication;

• review Listings after publication;

• require re-review following material changes;

• prioritize review of selected categories;

• prioritize paid or promoted Listings operationally;

• request supporting information;

• require corrections;

• reject publication;

• return a Listing for modification;

• approve publication;

• hide or remove a published Listing; or

• restrict a user’s ability to publish future Listings.

Review or approval by ARMTED does not transfer responsibility for the Listing from the publisher to ARMTED.

10.12. Paid and Promoted Content

Paid, promoted, sponsored or otherwise commercially enhanced content remains fully subject to moderation.

Payment does not create a right to:

• publish prohibited content;

• avoid moderation;

• continue promotion after the underlying content becomes ineligible;

• maintain a Listing or post that violates ARMTED policies; or

• require ARMTED to continue displaying unlawful or prohibited content.

ARMTED may suspend or terminate promotion where the underlying content becomes unavailable, restricted or ineligible.

Refund rights, if any, are governed by the Paid Services Terms and mandatory applicable law.

10.13. User Sanctions

ARMTED may impose sanctions on users whose conduct violates these Terms or creates material risk to the Services, users or third parties.

Sanctions may include:

• warnings;

• temporary restrictions;

• feature-specific restrictions;

• limits on publication;

• limits on communication;

• restrictions on Listings;

• restrictions on Booking;

• restrictions on promotional Services;

• verification requirements;

• temporary suspension; or

• termination.

ARMTED is not required to apply sanctions in a predetermined sequence unless applicable law requires otherwise.

A serious violation may result in immediate suspension or termination without a prior warning.

10.14. No Mandatory Progressive Discipline

ARMTED may choose to use progressive enforcement but is not required to provide a warning before every restriction, suspension or termination.

The appropriate action may depend on:

• seriousness;

• frequency;

• intent;

• history;

• actual or potential harm;

• fraud or deception;

• attempts to circumvent controls;

• cooperation with ARMTED;

• legal requirements;

• safety considerations; and

• risk to ARMTED or third parties.

A first violation may justify significant action where the circumstances are serious.

10.15. Different Measures in Different Circumstances

Similar conduct may result in different measures where relevant circumstances differ.

ARMTED may consider contextual factors including:

• jurisdiction;

• severity;

• scale;

• previous violations;

• type of account;

• nature of the affected Service;

• evidence available;

• risk;

• legal requirements; and

• other relevant circumstances.

ARMTED’s decision to impose a particular measure in one case does not create a contractual obligation to impose the same measure in all future cases.

Nothing in this provision permits discrimination or conduct prohibited by applicable law.

10.16. Circumvention of Enforcement

You must not attempt to evade or circumvent moderation or enforcement.

Prohibited conduct includes:

• creating new accounts to bypass restrictions;

• using another person’s account;

• changing identifiers to conceal prohibited activity;

• deliberately misclassifying content;

• modifying content solely to evade moderation;

• disguising location to bypass restrictions;

• moving prohibited conduct between Services;

• using business or group accounts to bypass a personal restriction; or

• helping another person evade enforcement.

Subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy, ARMTED may use relevant account, device, technical and behavioral signals to investigate suspected circumvention.

Circumvention may itself result in additional enforcement action.

10.17. Removal of Content Does Not Eliminate Existing Rights

Removal, restriction or deletion of User Content does not automatically terminate rights previously granted to ARMTED under Section 4, to the extent those rights continue under that Section and applicable law.

For example, moderation or deletion of the original post or Listing does not necessarily require ARMTED to remove every prior authorized use of a photograph or video from:

• ARMTED catalogues;

• database records;

• manufacturer or model pages;

• previously created promotional materials;

• previously distributed marketing materials; or

• other authorized uses described in Section 4,

subject always to applicable law and the specific licence provisions governing such continued use.

10.18. Preservation of Removed Content and Evidence

ARMTED may preserve copies, records, metadata or evidence relating to removed or restricted content where permitted or required for purposes including:

• legal compliance;

• responding to authorities;

• handling appeals;

• enforcement;

• fraud prevention;

• safety;

• security;

• investigation of abuse;

• repeat-violation analysis;

• intellectual property disputes;

• contractual disputes; or

• establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Content preserved for such purposes need not remain publicly accessible.

Personal data contained in preserved records will be processed in accordance with applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

10.19. Statements of Reasons

Where required by applicable law, ARMTED may provide users with information concerning certain moderation or enforcement decisions.

Such information may include:

• the affected content or Service;

• the action taken;

• the relevant policy or legal basis;

• the principal reason for the decision;

• whether automated systems materially contributed to the decision where disclosure is required; and

• available review or appeal mechanisms.

ARMTED is not required to disclose information where disclosure is prohibited by law or where applicable law permits limitations, including where disclosure could compromise security, fraud prevention, investigations or third-party rights.

10.20. Appeals and Internal Review

Where ARMTED provides or is legally required to provide an appeal or complaint mechanism, eligible users may request review of specified moderation or enforcement decisions.

An appeal may result in:

• confirmation of the original decision;

• modification of the decision;

• reversal of the decision;

• restoration of content;

• reduction or removal of sanctions; or

• another appropriate outcome.

Submitting an appeal does not automatically suspend the original decision.

ARMTED may establish reasonable procedural requirements, deadlines and limits for appeals, subject to applicable law.

10.21. No Guarantee of Reinstatement

The existence of an appeal mechanism does not guarantee that content, an account or a Service will be reinstated.

ARMTED may uphold a decision where it reasonably concludes that the original action was justified.

Restoration following an appeal does not constitute an admission of liability or wrongdoing by ARMTED.

10.22. Repeated or Manifestly Abusive Complaints and Appeals

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may take proportionate measures concerning users who repeatedly submit manifestly unfounded, fraudulent or abusive reports, notices or appeals.

Such measures may include:

• warnings;

• limits on the frequency of submissions;

• temporary restrictions; or

• other proportionate measures permitted by law.

This provision does not restrict a user’s right to submit legitimate reports, legal notices or appeals.

10.23. Illegal Content Notices

ARMTED may provide specific mechanisms for notices alleging that content is illegal.

Such notices may require information reasonably necessary to identify and assess the allegedly illegal content, including:

• identification of the content;

• location of the content;

• explanation of the alleged illegality;

• relevant factual or legal information;

• contact details where required; and

• other information required by applicable law.

ARMTED may process qualifying notices under procedures required by applicable law.

Submitting an illegal-content notice does not automatically determine that the content is illegal.

10.24. Authorities and Legal Orders

ARMTED may restrict, preserve, remove or disclose content or information where required by:

• applicable law;

• a court order;

• a binding governmental request;

• a regulatory requirement; or

• another legally enforceable process.

ARMTED may also take reasonable protective measures in response to credible and serious threats where permitted by law.

Nothing in these Terms requires ARMTED to contest every legal request it receives.

10.25. Geographic Restrictions

ARMTED may restrict content or Services in particular jurisdictions.

This may include restricting:

• particular Listings;

• firearms-related content;

• categories;

• business functionality;

• Booking;

• advertising;

• promotional content;

• messaging; or

• other Services

where necessary or considered appropriate because of legal, regulatory, safety, technical or commercial considerations.

Content permitted in one jurisdiction may therefore be unavailable in another.

10.26. Platform Integrity and Quality Measures

ARMTED may take measures intended to maintain the usefulness, quality, relevance or integrity of the Services even where content is not unlawful.

Such measures may address:

• low-quality content;

• duplicate content;

• misleading classifications;

• spam;

• irrelevant content;

• artificial engagement;

• excessive repetition;

• obsolete Listings;

• technically defective media;

• content unsuitable for recommendation;

• content inconsistent with a particular feature’s intended purpose; or

• other matters affecting platform quality.

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may reduce visibility or remove such content without being required to establish that the content is illegal.

10.27. Recommendations Are Distinct from Hosting

The fact that ARMTED allows content to remain available does not mean that ARMTED must recommend, rank or actively distribute that content.

ARMTED may determine that content is permitted to remain accessible while being excluded from:

• recommendations;

• Pulse;

• trending areas;

• search highlights;

• promotional surfaces;

• catalogue highlights; or

• other discovery systems.

Users do not have a contractual right to recommendation merely because their content remains hosted.

10.28. Commercial and Advertising Eligibility

ARMTED may apply stricter requirements to content eligible for:

• advertising;

• paid promotion;

• sponsored distribution;

• commercial recommendations;

• promotional campaigns; or

• other commercial surfaces.

Content may therefore be permitted as ordinary User Content but still be ineligible for paid or algorithmic promotion.

ARMTED may determine commercial eligibility based on policy, legal, safety, brand, advertiser, technical or commercial considerations.

10.29. Use of Moderation and Activity Data

Subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law, ARMTED may use information concerning reports, moderation outcomes, sanctions, user activity and enforcement history for purposes including:

• platform safety;

• fraud prevention;

• abuse detection;

• ranking;

• recommendation;

• eligibility decisions;

• verification;

• protection of users;

• improving moderation systems;

• developing safety tools; and

• operating the Services.

Where permitted by applicable law, relevant signals may also affect the distribution or eligibility of content for advertising, recommendations or commercial features.

Where a particular use requires consent, ARMTED will obtain it separately as required.

10.30. Automated Systems and False Positives

Automated moderation, fraud-detection or safety systems may occasionally produce incorrect or incomplete results.

The use of automated tools does not constitute a guarantee that all violations will be detected or that all automatically identified content is necessarily unlawful or prohibited.

ARMTED may review, correct or reverse automated outcomes.

Where applicable law provides rights concerning automated decision-making or requires specific information, ARMTED will provide those rights or information as required.

10.31. No Duty to Restore Previous Reach

If content is restored following review or appeal, ARMTED is not required, unless applicable law requires otherwise, to recreate every historical effect that might have occurred had the original restriction not been imposed.

In particular, restoration does not necessarily require ARMTED to:

• recreate previous ranking;

• reproduce missed recommendations;

• generate artificial impressions;

• restore historical promotional opportunities;

• compensate for hypothetical engagement; or

• guarantee equivalent future visibility.

Any specific remedy required by mandatory law remains unaffected.

10.32. No Compensation for Ordinary Moderation Measures

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, users are not entitled to compensation merely because ARMTED:

• reviews content;

• restricts distribution;

• removes content;

• suspends a feature;

• requests verification;

• imposes a sanction; or

• takes another good-faith moderation or safety measure

in accordance with these Terms.

This does not exclude liability or remedies that cannot lawfully be excluded.

10.33. Moderation During Service Changes

ARMTED may modify or discontinue moderation processes together with changes to the Services.

For example, if ARMTED discontinues:

• a Listing category;

• Booking;

• a group feature;

• a particular promotional Service; or

• another functionality,

ARMTED may remove, archive, hide, restrict or otherwise handle associated content as reasonably necessary.

Users do not have a right to require ARMTED to maintain a Service solely so that previously submitted content can continue to be presented in the same manner.

Rights concerning eligible User Content that ARMTED may continue using independently remain governed by Section 4.

10.34. Enforcement Records

ARMTED may retain records of moderation and enforcement decisions where necessary or permitted for:

• repeat-violation analysis;

• abuse prevention;

• security;

• legal compliance;

• appeals;

• dispute handling;

• establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and

• internal accountability and audit.

Deletion of an account does not necessarily require immediate deletion of all enforcement records where continued retention is legally permitted or required.

10.35. Changes to Moderation Policies

ARMTED may modify its moderation standards, processes, tools and enforcement practices as the Services, risks, technology and applicable law evolve.

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may:

• introduce new rules;

• modify existing rules;

• change moderation priorities;

• introduce automated tools;

• discontinue automated tools;

• change enforcement measures;

• change reporting categories;

• change appeal procedures; or

• introduce additional safety or integrity controls.

The fact that particular conduct was previously tolerated or not detected does not create a right to continue that conduct after ARMTED changes its rules or enforcement practices.

10.36. No Waiver Through Inaction

ARMTED’s failure or delay in enforcing a rule in one or more cases does not constitute a waiver of that rule.

The continued presence of prohibited content for any period does not create a right for that content to remain available.

ARMTED may take action when a violation is discovered, reported or otherwise becomes relevant.

10.37. Survival of Moderation Rights and Records

Removal of content, suspension, account deletion or termination of these Terms does not affect rights and obligations that by their nature are intended to survive.

This includes, where applicable:

• preservation of enforcement evidence;

• handling of pending appeals;

• compliance with legal orders;

• intellectual property matters;

• fraud and security investigations;

• defence of legal claims;

• User Content licences continuing under Section 4; and

• other lawful retention and enforcement interests.

11. Suspension, Termination and Account Deletion

11.1. Your Right to Stop Using ARMTED

You may stop using ARMTED at any time.

Where the relevant functionality is available, you may request deletion of your account using the account-deletion mechanisms provided by ARMTED.

Stopping use of the Services or deleting the application from a device does not by itself delete your ARMTED account.

Account deletion must be requested through the mechanism designated by ARMTED.

11.2. ARMTED’s Right to Restrict Access

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may restrict access to an account, particular Service, feature or functionality where reasonably necessary or appropriate.

Restrictions may apply to only part of an account.

For example, ARMTED may restrict or disable:

• Listings;

• publication of posts;

• comments;

• messaging;

• Booking;

• groups;

• events;

• business functionality;

• Partners functionality;

• paid promotion;

• recommendations;

• advertising eligibility;

• particular content categories; or

• another Service,

while allowing the user to continue using other parts of ARMTED.

ARMTED is not required to terminate the entire account where a narrower restriction is considered appropriate.

11.3. Grounds for Restriction, Suspension or Termination

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may restrict, suspend or terminate an account or Service where:

• these Terms have been violated;

• another ARMTED policy has been violated;

• applicable law requires or permits such action;

• ARMTED reasonably suspects illegal activity;

• ARMTED reasonably suspects fraud, abuse or deception;

• there is a security risk;

• the account appears compromised;

• required verification cannot be completed;

• information supplied by the user is materially false or misleading;

• the user attempts to circumvent restrictions or enforcement;

• the user’s activity creates material risk to ARMTED, users or third parties;

• the account is used to interfere with the Services;

• the user repeatedly abuses reporting, payment, promotional or other systems;

• continued provision of a particular Service is no longer technically, legally, commercially or operationally appropriate;

• a Service or category has been discontinued; or

• another ground expressly provided in these Terms or applicable ARMTED policies applies.

Where urgent action is reasonably necessary, ARMTED may act immediately.

11.4. Suspension Without Prior Warning

ARMTED may, where permitted by applicable law, suspend or restrict an account or Service without prior warning where immediate action is reasonably necessary.

This may include situations involving:

• serious safety risks;

• suspected unlawful conduct;

• serious fraud;

• cybersecurity threats;

• account compromise;

• severe harassment or threats;

• regulated-item violations;

• circumvention of previous restrictions;

• legal orders;

• material risk to third parties; or

• another urgent risk to ARMTED or the Services.

Where applicable law requires subsequent notice, explanation or appeal rights, ARMTED will provide them as required.

11.5. No Mandatory Warning Sequence

ARMTED is not required to apply warnings, restrictions, suspensions and termination in a fixed order unless applicable law requires otherwise.

A first serious violation may result in immediate restriction, suspension or termination.

ARMTED may take into account:

• seriousness;

• intent;

• history;

• frequency;

• actual or potential harm;

• legal risk;

• fraud;

• security considerations;

• cooperation;

• attempts to conceal or circumvent conduct; and

• other relevant circumstances.

11.6. Temporary Suspension

ARMTED may temporarily suspend access while investigating an issue.

Temporary suspension may remain in effect for as long as reasonably necessary to:

• investigate;

• obtain information;

• verify identity or eligibility;

• respond to a report;

• assess legal risk;

• address security concerns;

• comply with legal obligations; or

• determine an appropriate enforcement response.

Temporary suspension does not create a right to compensation except where applicable law or specific contractual terms provide otherwise.

11.7. Service-Specific Suspension

ARMTED may suspend access to a particular Service without suspending the entire account.

For example, ARMTED may disable:

• Booking for a user or Provider;

• Listings for a seller;

• messaging;

• paid promotion;

• business administration;

• event creation;

• group management; or

• another feature.

The availability of other Services during such a restriction does not mean that the restriction is invalid or incomplete.

11.8. Termination of an Account by ARMTED

Where permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may terminate an account for serious or repeated violations, legal or security reasons, fraud, abuse, circumvention or other grounds permitted under these Terms.

Termination may result in:

• loss of access to the account;

• loss of access to Services;

• removal or restriction of User Content;

• cancellation of account permissions;

• termination of business or administrative roles;

• termination of active sessions;

• inability to publish new content;

• inability to use Listings or Booking;

• inability to purchase Paid Services; and

• other consequences reasonably associated with termination.

ARMTED may prevent creation of replacement accounts where necessary to enforce a valid termination.

11.9. Deactivation and Inactive Accounts

ARMTED may provide account-deactivation functionality or may designate certain accounts as inactive.

Deactivation does not necessarily have the same effect as deletion.

ARMTED may establish rules concerning inactive accounts, including restrictions, archiving, username handling or eventual deletion, subject to applicable law.

No user has a permanent right to retain an unused username, handle or account indefinitely where ARMTED has a lawful basis to reclaim or remove it.

11.10. User-Initiated Account Deletion

Where you request account deletion, ARMTED will process the request in accordance with applicable law, the Privacy Policy and ARMTED’s data-retention procedures.

Depending on the nature of the data and applicable law, deletion may involve:

• deletion;

• anonymization;

• removal from public access;

• disassociation from the account;

• retention under a lawful basis; or

• temporary retention in backups or technical systems pending ordinary deletion cycles.

Account deletion does not necessarily mean that every item of information associated with the account will be erased immediately or simultaneously.

11.11. Information That May Be Retained After Account Deletion

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may retain information after account deletion where retention is required or permitted for purposes including:

• compliance with legal obligations;

• tax and accounting requirements;

• payment records;

• fraud prevention;

• security;

• abuse prevention;

• moderation history;

• enforcement records;

• support records;

• disputes;

• intellectual property claims;

• legal proceedings;

• establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;

• responding to lawful authorities;

• preventing circumvention of restrictions; or

• other lawful purposes.

ARMTED may also retain information that has been lawfully anonymized or aggregated so that it no longer constitutes personal data.

11.12. Effect of Account Deletion on User Content

Deletion of an account may result in removal, anonymization or disassociation of User Content from the deleted account, subject to applicable law and ARMTED’s applicable procedures.

However, account deletion does not automatically require ARMTED to reverse every prior authorized use of User Content.

The effect of deletion on photographs, videos and other User Content is governed by Section 4 (User Content).

In particular, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may continue to use eligible User Content where:

• the content has been incorporated into an ARMTED catalogue or database;

• the content has been incorporated into an informational or editorial resource;

• the content has been incorporated into promotional or marketing materials;

• the content has already been published or distributed through ARMTED’s official channels;

• continued use is reasonably necessary to preserve the integrity of an ARMTED Service;

• another authorized use under Section 4 continues to apply; or

• another lawful basis permits the continued use.

For example, deletion of an account does not by itself require ARMTED to remove every photograph previously incorporated into a firearm model page or previously created ARMTED promotional material, subject to applicable law and Section 4.

11.13. Existing Copies and Third-Party Sharing

ARMTED cannot guarantee deletion of copies of User Content independently created or retained by other users or third parties before deletion.

This may include content that was:

• shared;

• reposted;

• quoted;

• downloaded;

• cached;

• indexed;

• distributed externally; or

• otherwise copied by another person.

ARMTED may remove content from systems under its control where required, but cannot guarantee deletion from systems controlled independently by third parties.

11.14. Data Used for Aggregation and Derived Information

Subject to applicable law, deletion of an account does not require deletion of information that has been lawfully transformed into aggregated, anonymized or otherwise non-personal information.

ARMTED may continue to use such information for purposes including:

• analytics;

• statistics;

• catalogue development;

• product development;

• recommendations;

• trend analysis;

• security;

• fraud prevention;

• advertising measurement;

• commercial planning; and

• improvement of the Services.

Nothing in this Section permits ARMTED to treat identifiable personal data as anonymous where it remains reasonably identifiable under applicable law.

11.15. Recommendation and Advertising Data

Subject to the Privacy Policy and applicable law, ARMTED may process information concerning account activity, interests, interactions and use of the Services for purposes including personalization, recommendations and advertising.

Following account deletion, ARMTED may retain or continue using such information only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Where information has been lawfully anonymized or aggregated, ARMTED may continue to use it without maintaining a link to the deleted user.

Where a particular advertising, analytics or personalization activity requires consent, withdrawal of that consent will be handled separately from account termination in accordance with applicable law.

11.16. Paid Services Following Suspension or Termination

Suspension, restriction or termination of an account may affect Paid Services associated with that account.

Where a Paid Service is terminated because of a material violation by the user, any refund entitlement will be determined by:

• the Paid Services Terms;

• the circumstances of the violation; and

• mandatory applicable law.

Payment for a Paid Service does not prevent ARMTED from taking enforcement action.

Where ARMTED itself discontinues a Paid Service without user fault, any applicable remedy will be determined under Section 8, the Paid Services Terms and mandatory law.

11.17. Bookings Following Suspension or Termination

Suspension or termination of an account may affect access to Booking functionality and booking information.

Where practicable, ARMTED may preserve or make available information reasonably necessary to address existing bookings.

However, the existence of a future or pending booking does not require ARMTED to maintain the entire Booking Service indefinitely.

The underlying Provider may remain independently responsible for the booked service.

Specific consequences for existing bookings may be governed by the Booking Terms.

11.18. Business and Partners Access

Suspension or termination of a user account may result in loss of access to businesses, organizations, ranges or other entities administered through ARMTED.

ARMTED may:

• remove administrative access;

• transfer or restore access to another authorized representative;

• suspend management functions;

• preserve the public business profile; or

• take another reasonable action necessary to protect the entity or platform.

A user’s personal account does not create ownership of a business profile or organizational record merely because the user has administrative access to it.

11.19. Content and Accounts Following Service Discontinuation

Where ARMTED discontinues a Service, ARMTED may determine how associated accounts, content and records are handled, subject to applicable law.

ARMTED may:

• remove associated functionality;

• archive content;

• remove content from public display;

• migrate content to another ARMTED Service;

• discontinue storage;

• preserve limited records;

• provide export functionality where appropriate; or

• otherwise handle content in a manner reasonably connected with discontinuation of the Service.

Users do not have a right to require ARMTED to maintain an obsolete Service solely to preserve the previous presentation of their content.

Rights granted under Section 4 may continue independently where applicable.

11.20. No Guarantee of Data Recovery

Users are responsible for maintaining copies of information or User Content that they consider important.

Except where expressly required by applicable law or a separate written agreement, ARMTED does not guarantee that deleted, removed, expired, corrupted or otherwise unavailable User Content or account data can be recovered.

ARMTED may provide backups for operational purposes, but the existence of backups does not create an obligation to restore particular user data on request.

11.21. Export Before Deletion

Where ARMTED provides data-export functionality, users are encouraged to request or obtain any desired export before completing account deletion.

Deletion may make some content or account information unavailable through ordinary user-facing Services.

The availability of an export function does not require ARMTED to provide copies of data that:

• does not belong to the user;

• would adversely affect the rights of another person;

• cannot lawfully be disclosed;

• is legally privileged;

• would reveal protected security information; or

• is otherwise excluded from disclosure by applicable law.

11.22. Account Deletion Does Not Cancel Independent Obligations

Deleting an account does not eliminate obligations or liabilities that arose before deletion.

This may include:

• unpaid amounts;

• chargebacks;

• contractual obligations;

• infringement claims;

• fraud-related obligations;

• obligations concerning User Content;

• dispute obligations;

• legal proceedings; and

• other accrued obligations.

Account deletion does not prevent ARMTED from enforcing rights that arose before deletion.

11.23. Re-Registration After Termination

ARMTED may prevent or restrict a person whose account was suspended or terminated from creating another account where reasonably necessary to enforce ARMTED policies, prevent abuse or protect the Services.

Creating or using another account to circumvent a valid restriction may result in immediate restriction or termination of the replacement account.

ARMTED may use information reasonably necessary to identify circumvention, subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy.

11.24. Reinstatement

ARMTED may, but is not required to, restore a suspended or terminated account where permitted by applicable law.

Reinstatement may be subject to:

• verification;

• correction of violations;

• acceptance of current Terms;

• acceptance of applicable policies;

• security measures;

• restrictions;

• probationary conditions; or

• other reasonable safeguards.

Restoration of an account does not require ARMTED to restore every previous feature, ranking, follower relationship, Listing, promotion, booking, piece of content or other historical condition.

11.25. No Compensation for Ordinary Account Enforcement

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED is not liable merely because it restricts, suspends or terminates an account or Service in good faith and in accordance with these Terms.

Users are not entitled solely as a result of such action to compensation for alleged loss of:

• reach;

• followers;

• visibility;

• reputation;

• opportunities;

• inquiries;

• bookings;

• sales;

• business prospects; or

• other expected benefits,

except where applicable law provides otherwise.

11.26. No Obligation to Continue a Service to Avoid Account Impact

ARMTED is not required to continue operating a Service solely because terminating that Service may reduce the functionality of a user’s account.

For example, ARMTED may discontinue:

• Booking;

• a Listing category;

• groups;

• events;

• a catalogue;

• a recommendation surface;

• business functionality;

• promotional functionality; or

• another Service

even if users previously relied on that functionality.

Any rights concerning existing paid commitments will be handled under the applicable Paid Services Terms and mandatory law.

11.27. Termination of the Entire ARMTED Service

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may discontinue all or a substantial part of the ARMTED platform.

Where reasonably practicable and legally required, ARMTED may provide notice concerning such discontinuation.

ARMTED may determine appropriate procedures concerning accounts, data, Paid Services and other outstanding matters, subject to:

• mandatory law;

• existing contractual obligations;

• data-protection requirements; and

• rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

The existence of an ARMTED account does not create a perpetual right to continuation of the ARMTED platform.

11.28. Corporate Changes

A merger, acquisition, sale of assets, restructuring or transfer of the ARMTED business does not automatically terminate user accounts or these Terms.

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may transfer contractual rights and obligations, data and relevant Service assets to a successor or acquiring entity as part of a lawful corporate transaction.

Rights relating to User Content may be transferred or sublicensed as provided in Section 4.

Any required privacy notices or rights will be provided in accordance with applicable law.

11.29. Notice of Termination or Restriction

Where applicable law requires ARMTED to provide notice, reasons or appeal rights concerning a restriction, suspension or termination, ARMTED will provide them as required.

ARMTED may limit information included in a notice where permitted by law, including where disclosure would:

• compromise security;

• facilitate fraud or circumvention;

• interfere with an investigation;

• disclose confidential information;

• infringe third-party rights; or

• otherwise create a material legal or safety risk.

11.30. Appeals

Where an appeal mechanism is available or legally required, an eligible user may challenge specified restriction, suspension or termination decisions.

An appeal does not guarantee restoration.

ARMTED may:

• uphold the decision;

• modify it;

• remove restrictions;

• restore the account;

• impose different restrictions; or

• take another appropriate action.

Restoration does not constitute an admission that ARMTED acted unlawfully or negligently.

11.31. Survival

Termination of an account, deletion of an account, discontinuation of a Service or termination of these Terms does not affect provisions that by their nature are intended to survive.

This includes, where applicable, provisions concerning:

• User Content licences;

• intellectual property;

• payment obligations;

• fraud;

• moderation records;

• enforcement evidence;

• confidentiality;

• data retention;

• intellectual property complaints;

• disputes;

• limitations of liability;

• indemnification;

• governing law;

• accrued rights; and

• establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

In particular, termination of the user relationship does not automatically terminate rights previously granted to ARMTED under Section 4 where those rights are expressly or by their nature intended to continue.

11.32. Mandatory Rights

Nothing in this Section limits:

• mandatory data-protection rights;

• mandatory consumer rights;

• statutory appeal rights;

• rights concerning unlawful contractual termination; or

• any other right that applicable law does not permit ARMTED to exclude or restrict.

Where applicable mandatory law requires a different result from that described in this Section, that law will apply to the extent required.

12. Third-Party Services, Integrations and External Links

12.1. Third-Party Services

ARMTED may rely on, integrate with, link to or make available functionality provided by third parties.

Such third-party services may include, without limitation:

• payment providers;

• cloud and hosting providers;

• storage and content-delivery services;

• mapping and geolocation providers;

• email, SMS and push-notification providers;

• identity, authentication and verification providers;

• analytics and measurement providers;

• advertising and marketing technology providers;

• app stores and operating-system providers;

• social networks;

• external websites;

• business and service-provider systems;

• booking-related systems;

• APIs;

• data providers; and

• other technical, commercial or operational services.

ARMTED may determine which third-party services are used or integrated at any particular time.

12.2. Independent Third Parties

Unless expressly stated otherwise, third-party services are provided by independent entities and are not controlled by ARMTED.

The availability of a third-party service through or in connection with ARMTED does not mean that ARMTED:

• owns or controls that third party;

• guarantees its services;

• guarantees its availability;

• guarantees the accuracy of information supplied by it;

• guarantees its security;

• guarantees its compliance with every law applicable to it;

• endorses every product or service offered by it; or

• assumes responsibility for its acts or omissions.

A third party’s use of ARMTED, integration with ARMTED or appearance within ARMTED does not by itself create an agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise or similar relationship with ARMTED.

12.3. Third-Party Terms and Policies

Use of a third-party service may be subject to separate terms, policies, licences or privacy notices established by that third party.

You are responsible for reviewing and complying with applicable third-party terms where they apply to you.

Acceptance of these Terms does not constitute acceptance on your behalf of any separate agreement that applicable law requires you to enter into directly with a third party.

Where a third-party service processes personal data in connection with ARMTED, further information may be provided in the Privacy Policy.

12.4. No Guarantee of Continued Integrations

ARMTED does not guarantee that any particular third-party integration will remain available.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may at any time:

• introduce a third-party integration;

• replace one provider with another;

• modify an integration;

• restrict access to an integration;

• suspend an integration;

• remove an integration; or

• discontinue functionality that depends on an integration.

The previous availability of an integration does not create a permanent right to continued access to that integration or related functionality.

For example, ARMTED may change or discontinue a provider used for:

• payments;

• maps;

• geolocation;

• messaging;

• notifications;

• identity verification;

• storage;

• media processing;

• analytics; or

• another Service.

12.5. Effect of Third-Party Changes on ARMTED

ARMTED functionality may depend on technical or commercial relationships with third parties.

A third party may:

• change its API;

• change pricing;

• discontinue a product;

• suspend ARMTED’s access;

• modify technical requirements;

• restrict a jurisdiction;

• remove functionality;

• suffer an outage;

• experience a security incident; or

• otherwise change its service.

Such events may cause ARMTED to modify, limit, temporarily suspend or permanently discontinue related functionality.

ARMTED is not required to maintain a Service indefinitely where doing so depends on a third party that no longer provides the necessary functionality on commercially, legally or technically acceptable terms.

12.6. Third-Party Outages and Failures

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED does not guarantee the availability or uninterrupted operation of third-party services.

Third-party outages or failures may affect ARMTED functionality including:

• login;

• payments;

• maps;

• media delivery;

• uploads;

• notifications;

• email;

• SMS;

• verification;

• Booking;

• search;

• external content; or

• other Services.

ARMTED is not responsible merely because a third-party service experiences an outage, delay, error or failure outside ARMTED’s reasonable control.

Nothing in this provision excludes liability that ARMTED cannot lawfully exclude.

12.7. Payments and Payment Providers

Payments for ARMTED Paid Services may be processed by independent payment providers.

ARMTED may transmit information necessary to initiate, process, verify, reconcile, refund or otherwise administer a payment.

ARMTED does not control:

• approval or rejection decisions made by banks or payment providers;

• payment-network availability;

• authentication requirements imposed by payment providers;

• chargeback procedures controlled by third parties;

• third-party fraud controls; or

• continued availability of a particular payment method.

ARMTED may change payment providers or supported payment methods at any time, subject to existing contractual commitments and applicable law.

Specific rules concerning Paid Services are set out in Section 8 and the Paid Services Terms.

12.8. Maps, Geolocation and Directions

ARMTED may use third-party mapping, geocoding, navigation or location services.

Map positions, coordinates, routes, travel times, addresses and other geographical information may be inaccurate, incomplete or outdated.

ARMTED does not guarantee that:

• a map location is exact;

• an address is current;

• a route is safe or legally accessible;

• travel times are accurate;

• a displayed business or range remains at a particular location; or

• third-party geographical data is complete.

Users should independently verify important location information.

ARMTED mapping and location functionality must not be relied upon as an emergency, safety-critical or legally authoritative navigation system.

12.9. External Websites and Links

ARMTED may contain links to websites, applications, resources or services operated by third parties.

External links may be provided through:

• user profiles;

• business profiles;

• Listings;

• advertisements;

• posts;

• events;

• support materials;

• editorial content; or

• other parts of the Services.

ARMTED does not control third-party websites merely because a link to them appears on ARMTED.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, ARMTED does not guarantee or endorse:

• external content;

• external products;

• external services;

• security of an external website;

• availability of an external website;

• third-party privacy practices; or

• statements made by a third party.

Following an external link is at the user’s discretion.

12.10. User-Provided Links

Users may be permitted to include links in User Content.

A user who publishes a link remains responsible for complying with ARMTED policies and applicable law.

ARMTED may:

• remove links;

• disable links;

• restrict certain domains;

• apply warning screens;

• classify links as unsafe;

• prevent publication; or

• take other action

where reasonably necessary for security, legal compliance, anti-fraud measures or platform integrity.

The presence of a user-provided link does not mean that ARMTED has reviewed or approved the external destination.

12.11. Malicious or Unsafe External Content

ARMTED may use automated or manual systems intended to detect malicious, deceptive or unsafe external links.

However, ARMTED does not guarantee that every malicious or unsafe external resource will be detected.

Users must exercise appropriate care when:

• following external links;

• downloading files;

• providing personal information;

• entering payment information;

• communicating with third parties; or

• installing software.

ARMTED may block or restrict access to external resources where it reasonably identifies legal, fraud, malware, phishing or security risks.

12.12. App Stores and Device Platforms

Availability of ARMTED applications may depend on third-party app stores, device manufacturers and operating-system providers.

Such third parties may establish their own:

• technical requirements;

• review requirements;

• distribution rules;

• content policies;

• payment requirements;

• age classifications;

• device restrictions; and

• other conditions.

ARMTED does not guarantee that an application will remain available through every app store, operating system, device or distribution channel indefinitely.

ARMTED may modify or discontinue support for particular devices, operating-system versions or distribution channels.

12.13. Device and Operating-System Changes

Changes made by Apple, Google, device manufacturers, browser vendors or other platform providers may affect the operation of ARMTED.

For example, a platform provider may change:

• notification permissions;

• location permissions;

• camera access;

• media access;

• background processing;

• authentication methods;

• payment functionality;

• privacy controls;

• browser storage; or

• other technical capabilities.

ARMTED may modify or discontinue affected functionality where reasonably necessary.

ARMTED does not guarantee compatibility with all present or future device or operating-system configurations.

12.14. Identity and Verification Providers

ARMTED may use external providers to assist with verification of identity, business information, contact details, documents or other information.

A third-party verification result may be used as one input in ARMTED’s own decision-making.

ARMTED is not required to treat every third-party verification result as conclusive and may request additional information or conduct additional checks.

Likewise, successful third-party verification does not constitute a guarantee by ARMTED concerning future conduct, ongoing eligibility or the legality of every activity performed by the verified user.

12.15. Communications Providers

ARMTED may use external providers for:

• email;

• SMS;

• push notifications; and

• other communications.

ARMTED does not guarantee delivery of every communication.

Delivery may be affected by:

• carrier filtering;

• spam filtering;

• device settings;

• invalid contact information;

• network failures;

• provider outages;

• app permissions; or

• third-party restrictions.

Users are responsible for maintaining accurate contact information where required.

12.16. Storage and Media Delivery Providers

ARMTED may use external infrastructure to store, process, transform or deliver photographs, videos and other User Content.

Use of such providers does not reduce or alter the licence granted to ARMTED under Section 4.

ARMTED may authorize such providers to process User Content to the extent reasonably necessary to provide services to ARMTED.

This may include:

• storage;

• backups;

• transcoding;

• resizing;

• thumbnail generation;

• content delivery;

• caching;

• security scanning; and

• other technical processing.

Such authorization does not give the provider an independent right to exploit User Content for purposes unrelated to providing services to ARMTED unless another lawful basis exists.

12.17. Advertising and Marketing Providers

ARMTED may use third-party technologies or service providers to support:

• advertising;

• measurement;

• campaign management;

• analytics;

• audience selection;

• attribution;

• content promotion; and

• related commercial functionality.

Subject to applicable law, the Privacy Policy and required consent choices, ARMTED may provide or make available information necessary for those activities.

Where applicable law requires separate consent for advertising, tracking, cookies, device identifiers or similar technologies, ARMTED will obtain such consent separately.

Acceptance of these Terms does not replace a consent required by applicable law.

12.18. Third-Party Advertising

ARMTED may display advertisements, sponsored content or other commercial communications supplied by third parties.

Unless expressly stated otherwise:

• ARMTED is not the seller of an advertised third-party product;

• ARMTED is not the provider of an advertised third-party service;

• an advertisement does not constitute ARMTED’s guarantee of the advertiser;

• ARMTED does not guarantee the accuracy of every advertising claim; and

• agreements entered into with advertisers are between the user and the relevant third party.

ARMTED may review, restrict or remove advertising where reasonably necessary, but does not undertake to independently verify every claim made in every third-party advertisement unless required by law.

12.19. Personalization of Third-Party Commercial Content

Subject to applicable law, the Privacy Policy and required user choices, ARMTED may use information and signals available to it to select, rank, personalize and present third-party advertising or other commercial content within ARMTED.

Such signals may include, where lawfully used:

• language;

• market;

• location;

• interests;

• content interactions;

• searches;

• follows;

• Listings activity;

• Booking activity;

• engagement;

• account characteristics;

• device or technical information; and

• other information described in the Privacy Policy.

Where a particular use requires consent, ARMTED will rely on the applicable consent mechanism.

12.20. Third-Party Data

ARMTED may receive data from third parties and use it to provide, supplement, verify, organize or improve the Services.

Such data may include information concerning:

• businesses;

• locations;

• manufacturers;

• products;

• firearm models;

• events;

• addresses;

• geographic coordinates;

• technical information;

• verification results; or

• other relevant subjects.

ARMTED may combine third-party information with information from ARMTED users or ARMTED-created information where permitted by applicable law.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, ARMTED does not guarantee that third-party data is complete, current or error-free.

12.21. Corrections and Conflicting Information

ARMTED may receive conflicting information from users, businesses, public sources or third-party providers.

ARMTED may determine which information to display, how information is classified and whether information should be corrected, supplemented, restricted or removed.

ARMTED is not required to accept a third party’s data as authoritative merely because it originates from an external provider.

Where applicable, ARMTED may retain provenance, source or audit information concerning data used in the Services.

12.22. Third-Party Booking Providers

Where Booking functionality involves external systems or Providers, availability and booking information may depend partly on third-party data or systems.

ARMTED does not guarantee continued interoperability with external booking systems.

If an external integration becomes unavailable, ARMTED may:

• suspend synchronization;

• restrict Booking;

• use alternative methods;

• remove the relevant integration; or

• discontinue Booking for the affected Provider or market.

Nothing in an existing integration requires ARMTED to maintain that integration indefinitely.

12.23. Third-Party Content Incorporated into ARMTED

ARMTED may lawfully incorporate, display or reference third-party content where permitted by licence, law or other authorization.

Third-party content may be subject to different rights from User Content.

Nothing in these Terms grants users ownership of third-party materials displayed through ARMTED.

ARMTED may remove or replace third-party materials if the relevant licence, relationship or legal basis ends.

12.24. No Responsibility for Independent Transactions

Where a user enters into a transaction, agreement or other relationship with a third party discovered through ARMTED, ARMTED is not responsible merely because the parties were introduced or connected through the Services.

This applies, unless expressly stated otherwise, to relationships involving:

• Providers;

• advertisers;

• businesses;

• shooting ranges;

• clubs;

• sellers;

• instructors;

• service providers; or

• other third parties.

Users remain responsible for evaluating third parties and the legal and commercial terms of their relationships.

12.25. No Duty to Maintain External Connections

ARMTED may remove links, terminate integrations or cease exchanging data with a third party at any time where permitted by applicable law.

ARMTED is not required to maintain an integration solely because users or third parties have come to rely on it.

If discontinuation affects an existing Paid Service, applicable rights will be handled in accordance with Section 8, the Paid Services Terms and mandatory law.

12.26. Replacement Providers

ARMTED may replace a third-party provider with another provider without obtaining separate user approval where the replacement does not itself require new consent or another action under applicable law.

For example, ARMTED may replace:

• a hosting provider;

• storage provider;

• email provider;

• SMS provider;

• payment provider;

• mapping provider;

• verification provider; or

• another technical service provider.

Where a replacement materially affects privacy information or requires new consent, ARMTED will provide the information or obtain the consent required by applicable law.

12.27. Data Transfers to Service Providers

Where necessary to operate the Services, ARMTED may disclose or make data available to service providers acting for or with ARMTED.

Such processing is governed by the Privacy Policy and applicable data-protection law.

Nothing in these Terms authorizes a third party to use personal data for unrelated purposes where such use would violate applicable law or the agreements governing that provider’s relationship with ARMTED.

12.28. Security of Third-Party Services

ARMTED may assess third-party providers and implement reasonable contractual, organizational or technical safeguards where appropriate.

However, no third-party system can be guaranteed to be entirely secure.

ARMTED does not warrant that every third-party service will remain free from:

• security incidents;

• vulnerabilities;

• unauthorized access;

• data loss;

• operational failures; or

• other technical risks.

Where a third-party incident affects ARMTED users, ARMTED will take actions required of ARMTED under applicable law.

12.29. Changes in Law or Third-Party Rules

Changes to law, regulation, app-store rules, payment-network rules, platform requirements or third-party contractual requirements may require ARMTED to modify or discontinue functionality.

ARMTED may act without advance notice where immediate action is reasonably necessary for legal, regulatory, security or platform-compliance reasons, subject to applicable law.

The fact that functionality was previously available does not create a right to its continued operation following such a change.

12.30. No Warranty Concerning External Services

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, third-party services and external resources made accessible through ARMTED are provided without any independent warranty by ARMTED concerning their:

• availability;

• quality;

• fitness for purpose;

• accuracy;

• legality;

• security;

• performance; or

• continued operation,

unless ARMTED expressly provides such a warranty.

Any warranties provided directly by the relevant third party remain subject to that third party’s terms and applicable law.

12.31. Remedies Relating to Third-Party Failures

A failure by a third-party provider does not automatically entitle a user to compensation from ARMTED.

Where the failure prevents ARMTED from fulfilling an express paid contractual obligation, any applicable remedy will be determined in accordance with:

• the nature of the affected Service;

• the Paid Services Terms;

• these Terms; and

• mandatory applicable law.

ARMTED may, where appropriate, provide:

• restoration of functionality;

• an alternative provider;

• an extension;

• credit;

• a proportionate refund; or

• another suitable remedy.

Nothing in this Section creates a broader remedy than required by an express contractual commitment or applicable law.

12.32. ARMTED’s Freedom to Change Technical Infrastructure

Users do not acquire rights in the particular technical architecture, vendor relationships or infrastructure selected by ARMTED.

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may redesign or migrate its technical infrastructure at any time.

This may include changing:

• hosting locations;

• cloud providers;

• storage providers;

• database technologies;

• content-delivery systems;

• payment processors;

• communications providers;

• authentication systems;

• analytics providers;

• recommendation infrastructure; or

• other technical systems.

Such changes do not themselves constitute a termination of the user’s relationship with ARMTED.

12.33. No Obligation to Preserve Legacy Integrations

ARMTED is not required to maintain backward compatibility with obsolete, deprecated or unsupported third-party technologies.

ARMTED may discontinue support for:

• old APIs;

• old application versions;

• unsupported devices;

• unsupported browsers;

• obsolete operating systems;

• outdated integrations; or

• discontinued external services.

Users may be required to update software or use a supported device or platform to continue accessing particular Services.

12.34. User Responsibility for Third-Party Accounts

Where a Service requires the user to maintain an account with a third party, the user is responsible for maintaining that third-party account and complying with its terms.

Loss, suspension or restriction of a third-party account may affect functionality available through ARMTED.

ARMTED is not required to restore functionality that depends on a third-party account that the user can no longer lawfully or technically use.

12.35. No Beneficiary Rights

Except where applicable law or an express agreement provides otherwise, third-party providers referenced in these Terms do not become parties to the agreement between ARMTED and the user merely because ARMTED uses or integrates their services.

Likewise, users do not acquire contractual rights directly against ARMTED’s service providers merely because those providers support ARMTED’s infrastructure.

12.36. Continued Operation After Provider Changes

Where reasonably possible, ARMTED may migrate data, functionality or Services when replacing a third-party provider.

However, ARMTED does not guarantee that every historical feature, setting, integration state or technical behavior will remain identical following such a migration.

Changes necessary to replace or discontinue third-party services do not create a right to require ARMTED to preserve the exact previous implementation.

12.37. Survival

Termination of a third-party relationship, integration or Service does not affect rights and obligations that by their nature are intended to survive.

This may include:

• payment records;

• data-retention obligations;

• intellectual property rights;

• User Content licences;

• dispute records;

• security records;

• lawful backups; and

• other accrued rights or obligations.

The termination of a third-party service does not by itself terminate rights previously granted to ARMTED under Section 4.

13. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

13.1. General Disclaimer

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED provides the Services on an “as available” basis and does not make any representation, warranty or guarantee concerning the uninterrupted, permanent, error-free or complete operation of the Services except where such representation, warranty or guarantee cannot lawfully be excluded.

ARMTED does not guarantee that:

• the Services will always be available;

• any particular Service or feature will remain available;

• the Services will operate without interruptions, errors, defects or delays;

• every error or defect will be corrected;

• the Services will always be compatible with every device, browser, operating system or third-party system;

• User Content or other information will always remain available;

• notifications, messages or other communications will always be delivered;

• third-party integrations will remain operational; or

• the Services will meet every user’s individual expectations or requirements.

As provided elsewhere in these Terms, ARMTED may introduce, modify, restrict, suspend or discontinue Services and features.

13.2. No Service-Level Guarantee

Unless ARMTED expressly agrees otherwise in writing in relation to a particular Service, ARMTED does not provide any guaranteed:

• uptime;

• response time;

• restoration time;

• service level;

• data-delivery time;

• message-delivery time;

• Booking availability;

• Listing availability; or

• other performance commitment.

Temporary or permanent unavailability of a Service does not by itself constitute a breach of these Terms where ARMTED is entitled to modify, suspend or discontinue that Service under these Terms and applicable law.

13.3. User Content

User Content is created and supplied by users or third parties.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, ARMTED does not guarantee the:

• accuracy;

• legality;

• completeness;

• reliability;

• authenticity;

• quality;

• safety;

• currency; or

• suitability

of User Content.

ARMTED is not responsible merely because User Content is:

• published;

• displayed;

• ranked;

• recommended;

• indexed;

• included in search;

• incorporated into a catalogue;

• promoted;

• moderated;

• restored following moderation; or

• otherwise made available through the Services.

The presence of User Content on ARMTED does not constitute endorsement by ARMTED.

13.4. Listings

ARMTED does not guarantee any Listing or item displayed through the Services.

Without limiting other provisions of these Terms, ARMTED does not warrant:

• ownership of the item by the publisher;

• authenticity;

• condition;

• functionality;

• safety;

• legality;

• availability;

• value;

• classification;

• provenance;

• accuracy of the description;

• accuracy of photographs or videos;

• seller eligibility;

• buyer eligibility; or

• legality of any proposed transaction or transfer.

Users are responsible for making their own assessment and complying with applicable law.

ARMTED is not responsible for losses arising merely from a user’s reliance on information supplied by another user in a Listing.

13.5. Firearms and Regulated Items

Firearms and other regulated items may be subject to significant legal and safety requirements.

ARMTED does not provide a guarantee that:

• a person may legally possess or acquire a firearm;

• a person may legally sell or transfer a firearm;

• a particular firearm or item is lawful in a jurisdiction;

• a particular licence, permit or authorization is valid;

• a particular transfer procedure is sufficient;

• a Listing satisfies every applicable firearms law; or

• information concerning firearms law presented through ARMTED is complete or current.

The availability of a Listing or communication function through ARMTED does not constitute legal advice or authorization to engage in a particular transaction or activity.

13.6. Transactions Between Users

To the extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED is not liable merely because a dispute, loss or damage arises from an agreement, communication, transaction or attempted transaction entered into independently between users or between a user and a third party.

This may include disputes concerning:

• payment;

• delivery;

• condition;

• authenticity;

• ownership;

• representations;

• non-performance;

• legality;

• transfer procedures;

• fraud; or

• other matters between the parties.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, ARMTED is not the seller, buyer or contracting party in such transactions.

13.7. Booking

Unless expressly stated otherwise, ARMTED provides technology supporting bookings but does not provide the underlying service.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED is not responsible merely by reason of operating the Booking Service for:

• Provider cancellation;

• Provider no-show;

• incorrect availability;

• inaccurate schedules;

• delays;

• facility closure;

• service quality;

• Provider personnel;

• Provider equipment;

• unsafe premises;

• Provider safety procedures;

• failure of the Provider to perform;

• misconduct of the Provider; or

• disputes concerning the underlying booked service.

ARMTED does not guarantee that Booking functionality itself will remain available.

13.8. Firearms and Shooting Activities

Shooting, firearms handling and related activities may involve risks of injury, death or property damage.

ARMTED’s provision of informational, social, Listing, discovery or Booking functionality does not make ARMTED the supervisor or operator of an activity conducted by users or third parties.

ARMTED does not assume responsibility for:

• firearm handling by users;

• training provided by third parties;

• range supervision;

• compliance with safety rules by third parties;

• condition of third-party equipment;

• conduct at shooting ranges;

• transportation or storage of firearms; or

• other physical activities occurring outside ARMTED’s direct control.

Nothing in this Section excludes liability that applicable law does not permit ARMTED to exclude, including any liability resulting directly from ARMTED’s own conduct where such liability is mandatory.

13.9. Providers and Businesses

ARMTED may display, verify, rank or recommend businesses, ranges, clubs, gunsmiths, instructors or other Providers.

Unless ARMTED expressly states otherwise, ARMTED does not guarantee their:

• competence;

• quality;

• licensing status;

• regulatory compliance;

• insurance;

• personnel;

• safety procedures;

• products;

• services; or

• future conduct.

A verification badge or status indicates only the verification actually performed by ARMTED and must not be interpreted more broadly.

13.10. Reviews and Ratings

Reviews, ratings and other reputation information may be based on user opinions, activity or ARMTED systems.

ARMTED does not guarantee that ratings or reviews:

• are representative of every user’s experience;

• predict future performance;

• are complete;

• remain current; or

• should be relied upon as the sole basis for a decision.

Users remain responsible for making their own assessment of another user, business or Provider.

13.11. Catalogue and Reference Information

ARMTED may provide catalogues, product records, firearm information, classifications, specifications and other reference information.

Such information may be derived from:

• users;

• manufacturers;

• third-party sources;

• public sources;

• ARMTED research; or

• combinations of those sources.

Although ARMTED may take measures to improve accuracy, it does not guarantee that catalogue or reference information is:

• complete;

• current;

• error-free;

• suitable for technical, legal or safety-critical use; or

• applicable to every variant or jurisdiction.

Users should independently verify information where accuracy is material.

13.12. Maps and Location Information

ARMTED does not guarantee the precision or accuracy of:

• coordinates;

• addresses;

• map locations;

• directions;

• distance calculations;

• opening hours;

• travel times; or

• other geographic information.

Users should independently confirm important location information.

ARMTED’s mapping functions are not intended for emergency or safety-critical navigation.

13.13. Recommendations and Personalized Content

ARMTED may use automated and other systems to select, rank and recommend content.

Recommendations are not guarantees of:

• relevance;

• quality;

• legality;

• suitability;

• availability;

• safety; or

• user satisfaction.

ARMTED may change recommendation systems, ranking criteria and models at any time as permitted by applicable law.

A recommendation does not constitute an endorsement of the recommended user, Listing, product, Provider or other content.

13.14. Advertising and Commercial Content

ARMTED may display advertising, sponsored content, promoted Listings, promoted posts and other commercial content.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED does not guarantee the:

• accuracy of third-party advertising claims;

• quality of advertised products;

• legality of third-party products or services;

• performance of advertisers;

• availability of advertised offers; or

• outcome of interactions with advertisers.

ARMTED’s use of data and signals to select or personalize advertising does not constitute endorsement of the advertiser or advertised product.

Personal-data processing associated with advertising is governed by the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

13.15. Paid Promotion Does Not Guarantee Results

Where ARMTED sells promotion, increased visibility or similar Paid Services, the user purchases the relevant promotional Service and not a guaranteed commercial result.

Except where ARMTED expressly promises a measurable result, ARMTED does not guarantee:

• sales;

• transactions;

• bookings;

• leads;

• messages;

• inquiries;

• clicks;

• impressions;

• followers;

• engagement;

• search position; or

• revenue.

Failure to achieve a desired commercial result does not by itself mean that the Paid Service was not properly provided.

13.16. Third-Party Services

ARMTED may rely on independent third parties.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED is not responsible for failures of third-party services outside ARMTED’s reasonable control, including failures affecting:

• hosting;

• cloud infrastructure;

• storage;

• content delivery;

• payments;

• maps;

• geolocation;

• authentication;

• verification;

• email;

• SMS;

• push notifications;

• app stores;

• analytics; or

• other integrations.

ARMTED may replace or discontinue third-party integrations as described elsewhere in these Terms.

13.17. External Links

ARMTED is not responsible for third-party websites merely because ARMTED contains a link to them.

Users access external websites at their own discretion.

ARMTED does not guarantee:

• security;

• content;

• availability;

• privacy practices;

• products; or

• services

of independent third-party websites.

13.18. Security

ARMTED may implement reasonable security measures but does not guarantee that the Services will be completely immune from:

• unauthorized access;

• cyberattacks;

• malware;

• vulnerabilities;

• account compromise;

• outages;

• data corruption; or

• other security incidents.

Users are responsible for taking reasonable precautions concerning their own credentials, devices and accounts.

Nothing in this Section reduces security or data-protection obligations imposed on ARMTED by applicable law.

13.19. Data Loss

Users should maintain independent copies of photographs, videos, records and other information that they consider important.

Except where applicable law or an express contractual commitment provides otherwise, ARMTED does not guarantee permanent preservation or recovery of User Content or other account data.

ARMTED may operate backups for its own operational purposes, but backups do not create an obligation to restore individual user content in every circumstance.

13.20. Beta, Experimental and Test Services

Experimental, beta, preview or early-access Services may be incomplete and may contain defects.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED does not guarantee that an experimental Service will:

• work correctly;

• remain available;

• become generally available;

• preserve data indefinitely; or

• maintain its existing functionality.

Users choosing to use experimental functionality accept that it may change or disappear.

13.21. Modification or Discontinuation of Services

As provided in these Terms, ARMTED may modify, restrict, suspend or discontinue Services or features.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED is not liable merely because a free Service or feature is modified, restricted, suspended or discontinued in accordance with these Terms.

This may include, without limitation:

• Booking;

• Listings;

• messaging;

• groups;

• events;

• catalogues;

• recommendations;

• maps;

• business functionality;

• Partners functionality; or

• other Services.

Where discontinuation affects an existing paid commitment, any required remedy will be determined under the Paid Services Terms and mandatory law.

13.22. No Reliance on Continued Availability

Users should not rely on ARMTED as the sole system for:

• emergency communications;

• safety-critical information;

• legally required record keeping;

• preserving the only copy of important media;

• managing critical business operations;

• maintaining the only record of bookings; or

• other activities requiring guaranteed continuity.

ARMTED is not intended to provide guaranteed infrastructure for such purposes unless expressly agreed otherwise.

13.23. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents will not be liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages arising out of or relating to the Services.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, this includes losses relating to:

• lost profits;

• lost revenue;

• lost business opportunities;

• lost goodwill;

• loss of anticipated savings;

• loss of customers;

• loss of data;

• loss of visibility;

• loss of reach;

• lost bookings;

• lost transactions; or

• other indirect economic loss.

This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory asserted, to the extent such limitation is permitted by applicable law.

13.24. Liability Cap

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, where ARMTED is legally liable to a user and liability may lawfully be limited, ARMTED’s aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Services will not exceed the greater of:

• the amount paid by that user directly to ARMTED for the specific Paid Service giving rise to the claim during the twelve months preceding the event giving rise to liability; or

• EUR 100 (or the equivalent in the user’s local currency).

Where the claim does not relate to a Paid Service, the EUR 100 equivalent cap applies to the extent permitted by applicable law.

This cap does not apply where applicable law does not permit the relevant liability to be limited.

13.25. Multiple Claims

Where permitted by applicable law, the liability cap applies in aggregate and is not multiplied by:

• the number of claims;

• the number of Services involved;

• the number of legal theories asserted; or

• the number of events forming part of substantially the same underlying matter.

Related claims arising from the same or substantially connected facts may be treated as one claim for purposes of the applicable cap, where permitted by law.

13.26. Exceptions to Limitations

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability to the extent that applicable law prohibits exclusion or limitation.

This may include, depending on the jurisdiction, liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by ARMTED’s own conduct where such liability cannot be excluded;

• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;

• intentional misconduct;

• gross negligence where limitation is prohibited;

• mandatory consumer rights;

• mandatory data-protection obligations; or

• any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

The limitations in these Terms apply only to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

13.27. Consumer Rights

If you are a consumer, you may have mandatory statutory rights that differ between jurisdictions.

Nothing in these Terms removes rights that applicable law makes mandatory.

If a limitation or exclusion contained in these Terms is not enforceable against a particular consumer, that limitation or exclusion will apply only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

13.28. Allocation of Risk

The limitations and disclaimers in these Terms are intended to allocate risks between ARMTED and users in a manner consistent with the nature of the Services.

In particular, many Services are provided without charge, while other Services are provided for limited fees that do not reflect the potentially unlimited value of business, personal or other activities that users may choose to conduct in reliance on the Services.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ARMTED does not accept liability disproportionate to the nature and price of the Service actually provided.

13.29. User Responsibility to Mitigate Loss

Where a user becomes aware of an issue that may cause loss, the user should take reasonable steps to limit avoidable loss.

This may include:

• securing an account;

• stopping use of a malfunctioning Service;

• independently confirming important information;

• contacting a Provider directly;

• retaining copies of important records;

• reporting fraud or security incidents; or

• taking other reasonable measures.

Nothing in this Section imposes an obligation beyond what applicable law permits.

13.30. No Liability for Hypothetical Outcomes

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED is not liable for speculative or hypothetical losses based on what a user believes might have occurred if:

• content had received greater reach;

• a Listing had ranked differently;

• a recommendation had been different;

• a Service had remained available;

• a booking had been made;

• promotion had performed differently; or

• another user or third party had acted differently.

A claim must satisfy the requirements of applicable law concerning causation, foreseeability, proof and recoverable loss.

13.31. Moderation and Enforcement

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED is not liable merely because it in good faith:

• reviews content;

• removes content;

• restricts visibility;

• suspends a Service;

• requires verification;

• suspends an account;

• terminates an account;

• restores content; or

• takes another enforcement or safety action

in accordance with these Terms.

Nothing in this provision excludes liability where ARMTED’s particular conduct gives rise to liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.

13.32. Failure to Detect Violations

ARMTED does not guarantee that moderation, verification, security or fraud-prevention systems will detect every violation.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED does not become liable merely because it failed to detect, before harm occurred:

• a fraudulent user;

• a false Listing;

• prohibited content;

• an unlicensed person;

• an inaccurate business profile;

• a malicious link; or

• another violation committed by a third party.

This provision does not limit any statutory duty that applicable law specifically imposes on ARMTED.

13.33. User Content Licence and Liability

ARMTED’s authorized use of User Content in accordance with Section 4, including use of eligible photographs and videos in catalogues, websites, applications, social media, advertising and promotional materials, does not by itself give rise to an obligation to pay compensation beyond any obligation expressly agreed or imposed by mandatory law.

The user remains responsible for representations and warranties made under Section 4 concerning the rights necessary to submit and license User Content.

13.34. Aggregated and Anonymized Data

To the extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may continue using lawfully aggregated or anonymized information for analytics, recommendations, product development, advertising systems, statistics and other lawful purposes.

A user’s disagreement with such lawful use does not create a claim to ownership of ARMTED’s aggregated statistics, analyses, models or derived non-personal information.

13.35. Force Majeure

To the extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED will not be liable for failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

Such circumstances may include:

• natural disasters;

• war;

• terrorism;

• civil unrest;

• strikes;

• governmental action;

• regulatory intervention;

• widespread telecommunications failures;

• major cloud or infrastructure failures;

• power failures;

• cyberattacks;

• epidemics or pandemics;

• app-store restrictions;

• failures of critical third-party infrastructure; or

• other events beyond ARMTED’s reasonable control.

ARMTED may suspend or modify affected Services for the duration of such circumstances.

13.36. No Expansion of Liability Through Support

If ARMTED voluntarily provides:

• customer support;

• moderation assistance;

• dispute assistance;

• restoration;

• verification;

• warnings;

• recommendations; or

• other assistance,

such assistance does not create a broader duty of care or liability than would otherwise exist under these Terms or applicable law.

Providing assistance in one case does not create an obligation to provide equivalent assistance in all cases.

13.37. Severability of Liability Limitations

Each disclaimer, exclusion and limitation in this Section is intended to operate independently to the extent permitted by applicable law.

If a particular exclusion or limitation is found unenforceable, the remaining limitations continue to apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Where a limitation can lawfully be enforced only in a narrower form, it will apply in that narrower form rather than being disregarded entirely, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

13.38. Mandatory Law Prevails

Nothing in this Section is intended to exclude, restrict or limit liability beyond what applicable law permits.

Where mandatory law gives a user greater protection than these Terms, that mandatory protection will apply to the extent required.

14. Indemnification

14.1. General Indemnification Obligation

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless ARMTED, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, contractors, representatives and agents from and against claims, demands, proceedings, liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, costs and reasonable legal fees arising out of or relating to:

• your breach of these Terms;

• your breach of another applicable ARMTED policy;

• your User Content;

• your Listings;

• your use or misuse of the Services;

• your violation of applicable law;

• your violation of another person’s rights;

• your fraud, misrepresentation or unlawful conduct;

• activities carried out through your account for which you are legally responsible; or

• a transaction, transfer, booking, arrangement or other relationship entered into by you with another user or third party.

This obligation applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law and only to losses or claims attributable to matters for which you are legally responsible.

14.2. User Content

Without limiting Section 14.1, your indemnification obligations may apply to claims arising from User Content that you submit, upload, publish or otherwise make available through ARMTED.

This may include claims alleging:

• copyright infringement;

• trademark infringement;

• infringement of image, publicity or personality rights;

• invasion of privacy;

• defamation;

• unlawful disclosure of information;

• unauthorized use of another person’s content;

• misleading or false statements;

• unlawful advertising; or

• other infringement of third-party rights.

You are responsible for ensuring that you possess the rights and permissions required to grant ARMTED the licence described in Section 4.

14.3. Photographs and Videos

Where you submit photographs, videos or audiovisual materials, you are responsible for ensuring that you have sufficient rights to submit those materials and grant ARMTED the rights described in these Terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify ARMTED against third-party claims arising from your lack of the necessary rights or permissions, including claims by:

• photographers;

• copyright owners;

• persons depicted in photographs or videos;

• performers;

• businesses;

• trademark owners; or

• other rights holders.

This applies where ARMTED uses the relevant material within the scope of the licence granted by you under Section 4.

For example, if you upload a firearm photograph that you were not entitled to license and ARMTED subsequently uses that photograph in an ARMTED catalogue or promotional material in accordance with Section 4, responsibility for the absence of the rights you represented that you possessed remains with you to the extent permitted by applicable law.

14.4. ARMTED’s Authorized Use of User Content

Where a third-party claim arises solely because ARMTED uses User Content within the scope of a licence validly granted by you, your indemnification obligation may apply to the extent that the claim results from:

• your lack of ownership or authorization;

• your failure to obtain required permissions;

• your breach of representations or warranties concerning the content; or

• another circumstance attributable to the content or rights supplied by you.

You are not required to indemnify ARMTED for a claim to the extent that the claim results solely from ARMTED materially exceeding the rights granted under these Terms or from ARMTED’s own conduct for which liability cannot lawfully be shifted to you.

14.5. Listings

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify ARMTED against third-party claims arising from or relating to a Listing published by you, including claims concerning:

• ownership of the listed item;

• authenticity;

• false or misleading descriptions;

• unlawful advertising;

• prohibited or restricted items;

• stolen property;

• counterfeit property;

• intellectual property infringement;

• unlawful sale or transfer;

• failure to disclose legally required information;

• violation of consumer law applicable to you;

• violation of firearms law applicable to you; or

• another legal obligation applicable to the Listing or your activity.

ARMTED’s publication, moderation, approval, recommendation or promotion of a Listing does not transfer the publisher’s responsibility for the Listing to ARMTED.

14.6. Firearms and Regulated Items

You are responsible for complying with laws applicable to your activities concerning firearms, ammunition and other regulated items.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify ARMTED against claims, proceedings, penalties, costs or losses arising from your:

• unlawful possession;

• unlawful acquisition;

• unlawful advertisement;

• unlawful sale;

• unlawful transfer;

• unlawful transport;

• unlawful import or export;

• failure to use a required licensed intermediary;

• failure to obtain a required permit, licence or authorization;

• circumvention of a required background check or registration procedure;

• misrepresentation of the classification or legal status of an item; or

• other violation of law concerning a regulated item.

The technical availability of ARMTED functionality does not relieve you from responsibility for complying with applicable law.

14.7. Transactions Between Users

Where you independently enter into a transaction, agreement or arrangement with another user or third party, you are responsible for your own obligations arising from that relationship.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify ARMTED against third-party claims arising from your:

• failure to perform an agreement;

• fraud;

• misrepresentation;

• unlawful conduct;

• breach of warranty made by you;

• failure to make a required payment;

• unlawful transfer of property; or

• other breach of an obligation owed by you to the other party.

ARMTED is not required to indemnify one user against another user’s conduct merely because the parties discovered or contacted each other through ARMTED.

14.8. Bookings

Where you act as a Provider or otherwise offer services that may be booked through ARMTED, you are responsible for the services you provide.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, a Provider agrees to indemnify ARMTED against claims arising from matters attributable to that Provider, including:

• failure to provide the booked service;

• unsafe premises;

• negligent or unlawful conduct by Provider personnel;

• failure to comply with applicable licences or permits;

• failure to comply with safety requirements;

• inaccurate availability information;

• misleading service descriptions;

• violation of consumer obligations applicable to the Provider; or

• other breach of the Provider’s legal or contractual obligations.

A user making a booking remains responsible for claims arising from that user’s own unlawful or wrongful conduct.

Nothing in this Section transfers liability to a user for matters for which the Provider or ARMTED is legally responsible.

14.9. Business and Partners Accounts

If you act on behalf of a business, organization, shooting range, club or other entity, you represent that you have authority to do so.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify ARMTED against claims arising from:

• falsely claiming authority over an entity;

• unauthorized modification of an entity’s information;

• unauthorized publication on behalf of an entity;

• inaccurate business information supplied by you;

• unlawful commercial activity conducted through ARMTED;

• misuse of administrative permissions; or

• another breach of obligations associated with your business role.

Where you act within valid authority on behalf of a legal entity, separate Business or Partners Terms may allocate responsibility between ARMTED and that entity.

14.10. Paid and Promotional Content

A person or entity purchasing promotion or other Paid Services remains responsible for the promoted content.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify ARMTED against third-party claims arising from:

• unlawful advertising claims made by you;

• misleading promotional content;

• infringement of intellectual property;

• failure to make disclosures required of you;

• unlawful products or services promoted by you;

• violation of advertising law applicable to you; or

• other unlawful conduct attributable to your promoted content.

ARMTED’s provision of promotional functionality does not constitute approval of the legality of the promoted content.

14.11. Account Misuse

To the extent you are legally responsible for activity conducted through your account, your indemnification obligations may include claims arising from misuse of the account.

This does not apply to the extent that the claim results from unauthorized access for which you are not legally responsible.

Nothing in this Section reduces ARMTED’s own obligations concerning account security under applicable law.

14.12. Third-Party Rights

Your indemnification obligations may apply where your conduct causes ARMTED to face a third-party claim involving:

• intellectual property rights;

• privacy or image rights;

• contractual rights;

• consumer rights;

• property rights;

• confidentiality;

• business rights;

• regulatory obligations; or

• other legally protected interests.

The obligation applies only where the underlying claim arises from conduct, content or circumstances attributable to you.

14.13. Governmental and Regulatory Matters

To the extent permitted by applicable law, your indemnification obligations may extend to reasonable costs or losses arising from governmental or regulatory proceedings that are directly attributable to your unlawful activity or material breach of these Terms.

This may include proceedings concerning:

• unlawful Listings;

• unlawful advertising;

• regulated-item violations;

• fraud;

• consumer-law violations attributable to your business;

• intellectual property infringement; or

• false information supplied by you.

This Section does not require you to indemnify ARMTED for penalties or regulatory consequences resulting from ARMTED’s own violations or matters that applicable law prohibits ARMTED from shifting to another party.

14.14. Duty to Notify

If you become aware of a claim, proceeding or circumstance that may reasonably give rise to an indemnification obligation under this Section, you should notify ARMTED without undue delay where reasonably practicable.

Failure to provide prompt notice does not automatically eliminate the indemnification obligation but may reduce it to the extent that the delay materially prejudices the defence of the claim, where permitted by applicable law.

14.15. Control of Defence

Where you have an enforceable obligation to defend or indemnify ARMTED against a third-party claim, ARMTED may require reasonable cooperation concerning the defence of that claim.

Subject to applicable law:

• ARMTED may participate in the defence using counsel of its choice;

• no settlement imposing liability, admission, obligation or restriction on ARMTED may be entered into without ARMTED’s prior written consent;

• ARMTED may assume control of the defence where reasonably necessary to protect its interests; and

• you must provide reasonable information and cooperation relevant to the claim.

Any allocation of defence costs will remain subject to the scope of the enforceable indemnification obligation.

14.16. Settlement

You may not settle a claim on behalf of ARMTED without ARMTED’s prior written approval where the settlement:

• requires ARMTED to pay money;

• requires an admission by ARMTED;

• imposes ongoing obligations on ARMTED;

• restricts ARMTED’s Services or business;

• affects ARMTED’s intellectual property;

• affects ARMTED’s reputation or legal position; or

• otherwise materially affects ARMTED.

ARMTED will not unreasonably withhold approval of a settlement that fully resolves the claim without imposing material cost, liability, admission or obligation on ARMTED.

14.17. Cooperation

You agree to provide reasonable cooperation concerning a claim covered by an enforceable indemnification obligation.

Such cooperation may include providing:

• relevant documents;

• information;

• communications;

• evidence of ownership;

• licences;

• permissions;

• transaction records; or

• other reasonably necessary information.

Nothing in this provision requires disclosure prohibited by applicable law.

14.18. ARMTED May Act Independently

Nothing in this Section prevents ARMTED from:

• removing or restricting content;

• suspending a Listing;

• suspending an account;

• cooperating with authorities;

• responding independently to a claim;

• seeking injunctive relief;

• enforcing its intellectual property rights; or

• taking other action reasonably necessary to protect ARMTED or third parties.

ARMTED is not required to await the outcome of an indemnification dispute before taking protective action concerning the Services.

14.19. No Indemnification for ARMTED’s Own Non-Transferable Liability

Nothing in these Terms requires a user to indemnify ARMTED against liability to the extent that:

• the liability results solely from ARMTED’s own unlawful conduct;

• ARMTED acted outside the rights granted by the user and the relevant claim results from that excess;

• applicable law makes ARMTED solely responsible for the relevant matter; or

• applicable law prohibits contractual transfer or indemnification of the liability.

This limitation is intended to preserve the enforceability of the remaining indemnification obligations to the maximum extent permitted by law.

14.20. Consumer Users

If you use ARMTED as a consumer, the indemnification obligations in this Section apply only to the extent they may lawfully be imposed on you.

Nothing in this Section requires a consumer to compensate ARMTED for matters for which mandatory consumer law allocates responsibility to ARMTED.

Where a provision of this Section would otherwise be unenforceable against a consumer, it will apply only to the narrower extent permitted by applicable law.

14.21. Business Users

Where you use ARMTED in connection with a trade, business or profession, the indemnification obligations in this Section apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Business users remain responsible for legal obligations applicable to their business activities, including obligations concerning:

• advertising;

• consumer information;

• products and services;

• licences;

• regulated activities;

• taxation;

• employees and representatives;

• intellectual property;

• safety; and

• commercial communications.

Additional indemnification obligations may be provided in the Partners Terms, Paid Services Terms or another business agreement.

14.22. Costs and Legal Fees

Where an indemnification obligation is enforceable, covered losses may include reasonable and documented costs incurred by ARMTED in responding to the relevant claim, including reasonable legal fees, court costs, expert costs and investigation costs to the extent recoverable under applicable law.

ARMTED may not recover the same loss more than once.

14.23. Relationship to Limitation of Liability

The indemnification obligations in this Section are separate from the limitations of ARMTED’s liability in Section 13.

Nothing in Section 13 limits a user’s indemnification obligation to the extent such obligation is valid and enforceable under applicable law, unless another provision expressly provides otherwise.

Likewise, this Section does not increase ARMTED’s liability beyond the limits applicable under Section 13.

14.24. Survival

To the extent permitted by applicable law, obligations under this Section survive:

• removal of User Content;

• removal or expiration of a Listing;

• completion or cancellation of a Booking;

• expiration of a Paid Service;

• suspension or termination of an account;

• deletion of an account; and

• termination of these Terms,

where the relevant claim arises from conduct, content, transactions or circumstances occurring before such termination or deletion.

In particular, deletion of an account does not eliminate an indemnification obligation arising from photographs, videos, Listings or other User Content submitted before deletion.

14.25. Severability and Maximum Lawful Effect

Each indemnification obligation in this Section is intended to apply independently.

If an obligation is unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction or against a particular category of user, it will be interpreted and applied to the maximum narrower extent permitted by applicable law.

The invalidity or unenforceability of one obligation does not affect the remaining obligations where they can lawfully operate independently.

15. Privacy

15.1. Privacy Policy

ARMTED processes personal data in connection with the operation, security, development, improvement, personalization and commercialization of the Services.

The principal information concerning how ARMTED processes personal data is contained in the Privacy Policy.

The Privacy Policy explains, among other things:

• what categories of personal data ARMTED collects;

• where the data comes from;

• the purposes for which it is processed;

• the legal bases relied upon where applicable;

• how long data may be retained;

• categories of recipients;

• international data transfers;

• use of service providers;

• advertising and personalization;

• analytics;

• location data;

• communications;

• User Content;

• user rights; and

• how to contact ARMTED concerning privacy matters.

The Privacy Policy is incorporated into the overall ARMTED legal framework but, where applicable law treats it as a privacy notice rather than contractual consent, acceptance of these Terms does not convert it into such consent.

15.2. Data Used to Operate ARMTED

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may process information reasonably necessary to provide and operate the Services.

This may include information concerning:

• accounts;

• profiles;

• account settings;

• authentication;

• User Content;

• Listings;

• businesses and organizations;

• Groups and Events;

• Booking;

• messages and communications;

• location;

• device and technical information;

• security;

• payments for ARMTED Services;

• support;

• reports and moderation;

• user preferences;

• Service usage; and

• other information described in the Privacy Policy.

The fact that particular information is used to operate ARMTED does not mean that ARMTED must rely on consent as the legal basis for that processing where another lawful basis applies.

15.3. Personalization of the Services

Subject to applicable law, the Privacy Policy and any required user choices, ARMTED may use information concerning users and their use of the Services to personalize ARMTED.

This may include using information and signals concerning:

• accounts followed;

• profiles viewed;

• posts viewed;

• photographs and videos viewed;

• likes, reactions, comments and other interactions;

• searches;

• Listings created, viewed, saved or interacted with;

• firearm manufacturers, models, categories and other interests;

• ranges, businesses and locations viewed;

• groups and events;

• Booking activity;

• content hidden or reported;

• language;

• country, market and location;

• device characteristics;

• activity patterns;

• previous recommendations;

• interactions with promoted or advertising content; and

• other relevant signals described in the Privacy Policy.

ARMTED may use such information to determine which content is more likely to be relevant to a particular user.

15.4. Feeds, Search and Recommendations

ARMTED may process information in order to select, organize, rank and recommend content.

This may affect:

• Pulse and other feeds;

• search results;

• recommended users;

• recommended posts;

• recommended Listings;

• recommended firearms or catalogue records;

• businesses;

• ranges;

• clubs;

• events;

• groups;

• Providers;

• Booking-related content;

• notifications; and

• other areas of the Services.

Different users may therefore receive different content, ranking and recommendations.

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may modify the information, signals, weighting, models and methods used for recommendation and ranking over time.

15.5. Advertising and Commercial Content

ARMTED may display advertising, sponsored content, promoted Listings, promoted posts, promoted events, commercial recommendations and other promotional content within the Services.

Subject to applicable law, the Privacy Policy and required user consent choices, ARMTED may use information available in connection with a user’s use of ARMTED to:

• determine whether an advertisement or other commercial content is relevant to a user;

• select advertising;

• create or select audiences;

• rank commercial content;

• determine placement;

• determine frequency;

• personalize advertising;

• measure impressions and interactions;

• measure campaign effectiveness;

• prevent advertising fraud;

• improve ARMTED’s advertising systems; and

• develop new advertising and commercial products.

Advertising may therefore differ between users.

15.6. Information Used for Advertising

Where permitted by applicable law, information used for advertising or commercial-content selection may include relevant signals concerning:

• language;

• country or market;

• approximate or precise location where lawfully used;

• interests;

• follows;

• searches;

• viewed content;

• interactions with posts;

• interactions with photographs and videos;

• Listings activity;

• catalogue activity;

• business and range activity;

• event and group activity;

• Booking activity;

• engagement with previous advertising;

• device or technical characteristics;

• account characteristics; and

• other information described in the Privacy Policy.

ARMTED may combine multiple lawful signals to determine relevance.

Where applicable law restricts the use of a particular category of data or requires consent, ARMTED will apply the relevant restriction or consent requirement.

15.7. Advertising Does Not Require Disclosure of Identity to Advertisers

Where ARMTED selects or displays advertising based on user information, this does not necessarily mean that ARMTED provides the advertiser with the user’s identity.

ARMTED may operate advertising through:

• internal selection systems;

• aggregated audiences;

• pseudonymous identifiers;

• third-party advertising infrastructure; or

• other lawful methods.

The categories of information disclosed to advertisers, advertising providers or other recipients will be described in the Privacy Policy where required.

15.8. Analytics and Service Improvement

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may process information concerning how the Services are used to:

• understand usage;

• measure performance;

• identify errors;

• improve usability;

• optimize features;

• develop new functionality;

• analyze trends;

• measure engagement;

• understand which Services are useful;

• improve search;

• improve recommendations;

• improve moderation;

• improve fraud detection;

• improve advertising systems; and

• make commercial and product decisions.

Where particular analytics technologies require consent, ARMTED will obtain that consent separately where required.

15.9. Development of New Services

Information lawfully collected through ARMTED may, subject to applicable law and the Privacy Policy, be used to develop, test and improve existing or future ARMTED Services.

This may include development of:

• recommendation systems;

• search systems;

• catalogues;

• classification systems;

• fraud-prevention systems;

• moderation systems;

• advertising systems;

• Booking-related functionality;

• business functionality;

• analytics;

• statistics;

• safety functionality; and

• other ARMTED products and features.

The fact that a particular Service did not exist when information was originally generated does not necessarily prevent ARMTED from later using that information for a compatible lawful purpose, subject to applicable law and any required notice or consent.

15.10. Aggregated and Anonymized Information

ARMTED may generate aggregated, statistical, anonymized or otherwise non-personal information from use of the Services.

Where information has been lawfully anonymized so that it no longer constitutes personal data, ARMTED may use it for any lawful purpose, including:

• analytics;

• research;

• statistics;

• market analysis;

• catalogue development;

• product development;

• trend analysis;

• advertising measurement;

• commercial planning;

• recommendation-system development;

• reporting; and

• improvement of ARMTED.

Subject to applicable law, such information may continue to be used after the underlying account or original personal data has been deleted.

15.11. Catalogue and Market Data

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may analyze information derived from Listings, searches, interactions and other Services in order to create or improve information concerning:

• firearm popularity;

• manufacturer or model interest;

• category trends;

• Listing activity;

• price ranges;

• regional interest;

• demand patterns;

• engagement;

• availability;

• market trends; and

• other statistical or analytical information.

Where such information is provided externally or used independently from an identifiable user, ARMTED may aggregate or anonymize it where appropriate or legally required.

15.12. Location Information

Certain ARMTED Services may use location information.

Depending on the relevant feature and user settings, this may include:

• country;

• region;

• city;

• approximate location;

• precise coordinates; or

• location associated with a Listing, business, event or Booking.

Location information may be used, subject to applicable law, to:

• provide local search;

• show nearby businesses or ranges;

• provide maps;

• determine relevant Listings;

• provide geographic recommendations;

• apply jurisdiction-specific rules;

• display regional content;

• prevent fraud;

• personalize Services; and

• where permitted, improve the relevance of advertising or promoted content.

Where precise device location requires permission or consent, ARMTED will request it as required.

15.13. Communications

ARMTED may process communications and related metadata to provide communication functionality, maintain security, prevent abuse, respond to reports and comply with legal obligations.

Private communications are not treated as ordinary public User Content merely because ARMTED technically processes them.

As stated in Section 4, the general promotional User Content licence does not authorize ARMTED to arbitrarily publish private direct messages for advertising purposes.

ARMTED may nevertheless process communications where permitted or required for:

• delivery;

• security;

• fraud prevention;

• abuse detection;

• user reports;

• moderation;

• legal compliance;

• support; and

• other purposes described in the Privacy Policy.

15.14. User Content and Personal Data

User Content may contain personal data.

ARMTED’s rights to use User Content under Section 4 and ARMTED’s obligations concerning personal data are separate but may apply simultaneously.

A licence granted under Section 4 does not eliminate data-protection obligations that apply to ARMTED.

Likewise, data-protection law does not automatically eliminate intellectual-property or contractual rights that ARMTED validly holds in relation to User Content.

Where both regimes apply, ARMTED will exercise its rights subject to applicable law.

15.15. Photographs and Videos

Photographs and videos may contain personal data, including images of identifiable individuals.

ARMTED’s rights to use eligible photographs and videos for catalogues, editorial use, promotion and marketing are governed by Section 4.

Where a particular use of a photograph or video also constitutes processing of personal data, ARMTED will process that data subject to applicable data-protection law.

Users remain responsible for having the rights and permissions required to submit the material as provided in Section 4.

15.16. Moderation and Safety Data

ARMTED may process information concerning:

• reports;

• moderation decisions;

• sanctions;

• blocked users;

• suspected fraud;

• circumvention;

• security events;

• account verification;

• Listing review;

• content classifications; and

• other safety or integrity signals.

Subject to applicable law, this information may be used to:

• protect users;

• enforce ARMTED rules;

• prevent fraud;

• detect abuse;

• improve moderation;

• assess eligibility for certain Services;

• reduce distribution of problematic content;

• improve recommendation quality; and

• protect ARMTED’s systems and legitimate interests.

15.17. Verification Data

Where ARMTED verifies users, businesses or other information, ARMTED may process data necessary for the relevant verification.

Depending on the verification, this may include:

• email;

• telephone number;

• identity information;

• business information;

• licence information;

• authorization documents;

• verification results; and

• information supplied by verification providers.

The Privacy Policy will describe applicable processing in further detail.

15.18. Payment Data

Where users purchase Paid Services, ARMTED may process payment and transaction information necessary to:

• create orders;

• process and reconcile payments;

• provide Paid Services;

• issue refunds;

• prevent fraud;

• provide support;

• comply with accounting and tax obligations; and

• establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

ARMTED may use external payment providers as described in Section 12 and the Privacy Policy.

15.19. Booking Data

Where Booking is available, ARMTED may process information concerning:

• bookings;

• booking requests;

• Providers;

• dates and times;

• locations;

• cancellations;

• booking history;

• attendance-related interactions where applicable;

• support issues; and

• related activity.

Subject to applicable law, this information may also be used to improve recommendations, search, product development and commercial-content relevance.

The fact that ARMTED later modifies or discontinues Booking does not automatically require deletion of information that ARMTED is still lawfully entitled or required to retain.

15.20. Consent Where Required

Some ARMTED processing activities may require consent under applicable law.

Where consent is required, ARMTED will request it separately in an appropriate form.

This may apply, depending on jurisdiction and technology, to activities such as:

• certain analytics;

• certain advertising or tracking technologies;

• marketing communications;

• certain forms of personalization;

• non-essential cookies;

• device identifiers; or

• precise location.

Acceptance of these Terms does not constitute blanket consent to every form of personal-data processing.

This distinction is intended to preserve the validity of both these Terms and any separate consent required by applicable law.

15.21. Withdrawal of Consent

Where ARMTED relies on consent for a processing activity, users may withdraw that consent using mechanisms provided by ARMTED or otherwise as required by applicable law.

Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing performed before withdrawal.

Withdrawal of one consent does not necessarily require termination of the ARMTED account where the relevant Service can lawfully continue on another basis or without that processing.

Certain functionality may become unavailable where it cannot technically or lawfully operate without the information for which consent has been withdrawn.

15.22. Marketing Communications

Where required by applicable law, ARMTED will obtain appropriate consent before sending marketing communications by channels such as:

• email;

• SMS; or

• marketing push notifications.

Operational, transactional, security or legally required communications are distinct from marketing communications and may be sent where another lawful basis applies.

Users may be able to manage marketing preferences independently for different communication channels.

15.23. Cookies and Similar Technologies

ARMTED websites and Services may use cookies, local storage, SDKs, device identifiers and similar technologies.

Such technologies may be used for purposes including:

• authentication;

• security;

• preferences;

• functionality;

• analytics;

• personalization;

• advertising; and

• measurement.

Where applicable law requires consent for non-essential technologies, ARMTED will apply an appropriate consent mechanism.

Further information is provided in the Cookie Policy.

15.24. Service Providers

ARMTED may use processors, service providers and other third parties to support the Services.

They may provide functions such as:

• hosting;

• storage;

• media delivery;

• payments;

• email;

• SMS;

• push notifications;

• mapping;

• verification;

• analytics;

• advertising technology;

• security; and

• customer support.

Personal data may be made available to such providers where lawfully necessary.

ARMTED will address such relationships as required by applicable data-protection law.

15.25. International Transfers

ARMTED may operate across multiple countries and use service providers located in different jurisdictions.

Personal data may therefore be transferred internationally where permitted by applicable law.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, ARMTED will use an appropriate transfer mechanism.

Further information will be provided in the Privacy Policy where required.

15.26. Retention

ARMTED may retain personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it is processed and for additional periods where permitted or required by applicable law.

Retention considerations may include:

• account operation;

• legal obligations;

• payment records;

• fraud prevention;

• security;

• moderation;

• support;

• disputes;

• legal claims;

• tax and accounting requirements;

• backup cycles; and

• other legitimate retention requirements.

Different categories of data may have different retention periods.

15.27. Account Deletion

Account deletion does not necessarily require immediate deletion of every item of personal data associated with an account.

Data may be:

• deleted;

• anonymized;

• disassociated;

• restricted;

• archived; or

• retained under another lawful basis,

depending on the nature of the information and applicable law.

The effect of account deletion on User Content is further governed by Sections 4 and 11.

15.28. User Rights

Depending on applicable law and jurisdiction, users may have rights concerning personal data, which may include rights to:

• access;

• correction;

• deletion;

• restriction;

• portability;

• objection;

• withdrawal of consent; and

• other statutory rights.

The existence, scope and conditions of such rights depend on applicable law.

ARMTED may require reasonable verification before fulfilling a privacy request.

Further information is provided in the Privacy Policy.

15.29. No Ownership of Personal Data

Nothing in these Terms means that ARMTED claims ownership of a user’s personal data.

ARMTED may have contractual, intellectual-property or database rights concerning particular Services, compilations, content or derived materials, but those rights do not convert personal data into property owned by ARMTED.

ARMTED’s use of personal data depends on an applicable lawful basis and remains subject to applicable data-protection law.

15.30. Changes to Privacy Practices

ARMTED may modify its privacy practices as:

• the Services evolve;

• new functionality is introduced;

• Services are discontinued;

• providers change;

• advertising or recommendation systems change;

• law changes; or

• business operations change.

Where required, ARMTED will update the Privacy Policy and provide notice or obtain new consent before implementing a change that legally requires such notice or consent.

The fact that a particular type of data was not previously used for a particular purpose does not prevent ARMTED from introducing a new lawful use where applicable requirements concerning legal basis, transparency and consent are satisfied.

15.31. Service Changes and Data Processing

Because ARMTED may introduce, modify and discontinue Services, the categories and purposes of data processing may also evolve.

For example, introducing or discontinuing:

• Booking;

• advertising;

• recommendation systems;

• new Listing functionality;

• verification;

• business tools;

• new communication systems; or

• new catalogue functionality

may change the personal data required or used by ARMTED.

Where applicable law requires an updated privacy notice, consent or another measure, ARMTED will implement that measure.

The existence of data relating to a discontinued Service does not automatically require immediate deletion where continued retention or processing remains lawful.

15.32. Corporate Transactions

Subject to applicable law, personal data and other relevant information may be transferred as part of:

• a merger;

• acquisition;

• restructuring;

• financing;

• sale of assets;

• transfer of business; or

• similar corporate transaction.

A successor may assume responsibility for the Services and relevant data subject to applicable law.

Where required, ARMTED will provide appropriate information concerning such a transfer.

15.33. Security

ARMTED may implement technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal data and the Services.

However, no information system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users are also responsible for protecting their accounts, credentials and devices.

Security obligations imposed on ARMTED by applicable law remain unaffected by any disclaimer in these Terms.

15.34. Privacy Policy Prevails on Detailed Data-Protection Matters

These Terms provide a general contractual framework concerning ARMTED’s use of information.

Where detailed information concerning personal-data processing is required, the Privacy Policy should be consulted.

If these Terms and the Privacy Policy appear inconsistent concerning the description of ARMTED’s processing of personal data, ARMTED will interpret and apply them in a manner consistent with applicable data-protection law.

Nothing in these Terms expands ARMTED’s right to process personal data beyond what applicable law permits.

15.35. Mandatory Privacy Law

Nothing in these Terms limits any right or protection that applicable data-protection law does not permit ARMTED to exclude or restrict.

Where applicable privacy law imposes requirements different from or additional to those described in this Section, those requirements will apply to the extent required.

16. Changes to These Terms

16.1. Right to Modify These Terms

ARMTED may amend, update, replace or otherwise modify these Terms from time to time.

Changes may be made for reasons including:

• introduction of new Services or functionality;

• modification or discontinuation of existing Services;

• changes to ARMTED’s business model;

• introduction or modification of advertising;

• introduction or modification of Paid Services;

• introduction or modification of subscriptions;

• changes to Booking;

• changes to Listings;

• changes to catalogue functionality;

• changes to recommendation, ranking or personalization systems;

• introduction of new technologies;

• changes to data-processing practices;

• changes to payment methods or providers;

• changes to third-party integrations;

• security or fraud-prevention requirements;

• moderation or platform-integrity requirements;

• changes in applicable law;

• regulatory requirements;

• court decisions;

• guidance or requirements from competent authorities;

• changes to app-store or platform requirements;

• organizational or corporate changes;

• clarification of existing provisions;

• correction of errors or ambiguities; or

• other legitimate legal, technical, operational or commercial reasons.

Nothing in these Terms creates an obligation for ARMTED to maintain the current Terms, Services or business model indefinitely.

16.2. Evolution of ARMTED

ARMTED is an evolving platform.

Users acknowledge that the nature, scope, functionality and commercial model of the Services may change over time.

ARMTED may, subject to applicable law:

• introduce new Services;

• remove Services;

• combine Services;

• divide Services;

• redesign functionality;

• change eligibility requirements;

• introduce advertising;

• change advertising models;

• introduce subscriptions;

• introduce or remove Paid Services;

• change recommendation systems;

• change ranking systems;

• introduce new types of User Content;

• change how User Content is displayed;

• change catalogue functionality;

• introduce new business functionality;

• expand to additional jurisdictions; or

• withdraw from particular jurisdictions.

These Terms may be amended to reflect such developments.

16.3. No Right to Preservation of Existing Terms

Subject to applicable law, continued availability of ARMTED does not give users a contractual right to require ARMTED to preserve indefinitely:

• a particular version of these Terms;

• a particular feature;

• a particular commercial model;

• an advertising-free model;

• a particular ranking system;

• a particular recommendation system;

• a particular privacy-related configuration;

• a particular Booking model;

• a particular Listing model; or

• another existing characteristic of the Services.

Changes affecting existing rights or obligations remain subject to applicable law.

16.4. Minor Changes

ARMTED may make minor changes to these Terms without requiring renewed express acceptance where permitted by applicable law.

Minor changes may include:

• corrections;

• formatting changes;

• language improvements;

• clarification of existing provisions;

• updated references;

• updated contact information;

• organizational changes that do not materially alter user rights;

• technical terminology updates; or

• other changes that do not materially alter the contractual relationship.

ARMTED may publish an updated version reflecting such changes.

Where appropriate, ARMTED may notify users of a minor change without requiring additional action.

16.5. Material Changes

Where ARMTED makes a material change to these Terms, ARMTED may provide notice using a reasonable method.

Depending on the circumstances, notice may be provided through:

• the ARMTED application;

• the ARMTED website;

• account notifications;

• email;

• another electronic communication; or

• another reasonable method.

Where applicable law or the nature of the change requires renewed express acceptance, ARMTED may require the user to accept the updated Terms before continuing to use all or part of the Services.

16.6. Reacceptance

ARMTED may require renewed acceptance of these Terms following a material update.

Where renewed acceptance is required, ARMTED may condition continued access to:

• the account;

• Listings;

• Booking;

• Paid Services;

• business functionality;

• Partners functionality;

• publication functionality; or

• other affected Services

on acceptance of the applicable updated Terms.

Where appropriate, ARMTED may restrict only the affected Service rather than the entire account.

16.7. Service-Specific Reacceptance

A change affecting only a particular Service does not necessarily require renewed acceptance of the entire ARMTED legal framework.

ARMTED may instead require acceptance of updated terms immediately before the user next uses the affected Service.

For example:

• updated Booking Terms may be presented before the next Booking;

• updated Paid Services Terms may be presented before the next purchase;

• updated Partners Terms may be presented before continued use of relevant business functionality;

• an updated Listing Compliance Declaration may be required before publishing, editing, renewing or otherwise taking a relevant action concerning a Listing.

This allows ARMTED to update individual Services without unnecessarily restricting unrelated functionality.

16.8. Changes to Listing and Firearms Rules

ARMTED may modify rules applicable to Listings and regulated items as:

• laws change;

• markets change;

• ARMTED enters new jurisdictions;

• regulatory guidance changes;

• new product categories are introduced;

• platform risks change; or

• ARMTED determines that additional restrictions are appropriate.

ARMTED may require users to comply with updated Listing rules immediately or from a specified effective date.

Where renewed confirmation or acceptance is required, ARMTED may require it before the next affected Listing action.

The previous availability of a Listing category does not create a right to continue publishing that category.

16.9. Changes to User Content Terms

ARMTED may amend provisions governing User Content where reasonably necessary to reflect:

• new media formats;

• new Services;

• new catalogue functionality;

• new distribution methods;

• new promotional functionality;

• new ARMTED communication channels;

• technological developments; or

• changes in applicable law.

Where a change would materially expand ARMTED’s rights concerning previously submitted User Content and applicable law requires renewed agreement for that expanded use, ARMTED will obtain the required agreement before relying on the expanded rights in relation to that content.

Nothing in this Section limits rights already validly granted to ARMTED under the version of the Terms applicable when the relevant User Content was submitted.

16.10. Existing User Content and Previous Licences

A later amendment to these Terms does not automatically terminate licences or other rights previously and validly granted to ARMTED.

Accordingly, where a user previously granted ARMTED rights under Section 4, those rights may continue according to the terms of the licence under which they were granted, including any applicable survival provisions.

This may include authorized use of eligible photographs and videos already incorporated into:

• ARMTED catalogues;

• firearm, manufacturer or model pages;

• databases;

• websites;

• applications;

• editorial materials;

• social media;

• advertising;

• marketing materials; or

• promotional campaigns.

A user’s refusal to accept a later version of these Terms does not, by itself, retroactively revoke rights validly granted to ARMTED under an earlier agreement, to the extent those rights were validly granted as continuing or surviving rights and applicable law permits their continued exercise.

16.11. Changes to Personalization and Advertising

ARMTED may develop, introduce or modify functionality involving:

• personalized content;

• recommendations;

• ranking;

• advertising;

• sponsored content;

• promoted content;

• commercial recommendations;

• audience selection;

• advertising measurement; or

• related commercial systems.

ARMTED may update these Terms and the Privacy Policy to reflect such developments.

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may use information lawfully available to it to operate and improve such systems as described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.

Where a new or modified processing activity requires separate consent under applicable law, ARMTED will obtain that consent separately where required.

Acceptance of an updated version of these Terms does not replace a legally required consent.

16.12. Changes to Privacy Practices

Changes to ARMTED’s processing of personal data may require updates to the Privacy Policy independently from changes to these Terms.

ARMTED may update the Privacy Policy to reflect:

• new Services;

• new purposes of processing;

• new categories of data;

• new recipients;

• new providers;

• new advertising systems;

• new analytics;

• new international transfers;

• changes in retention; or

• changes in applicable law.

Where applicable law requires notice, a new legal basis or consent before a new processing activity begins, ARMTED will implement the applicable requirement.

A Privacy Policy update does not automatically require contractual acceptance merely because the notice has changed.

16.13. Changes to Consent-Based Processing

Where ARMTED relies on consent for a particular activity, a modification of these Terms does not prevent users from exercising any statutory right to refuse or withdraw that consent.

ARMTED may modify the functionality associated with consent choices, provided that users retain the choices required by applicable law.

Withdrawal of consent does not invalidate processing lawfully performed before withdrawal.

16.14. Changes to Available Services

ARMTED may modify these Terms in connection with modification, suspension or discontinuation of a Service.

For clarity, ARMTED does not need to maintain a Service solely because that Service is described in these Terms.

The Terms may describe Services that:

• are available only in certain markets;

• are available only to certain users;

• are being tested;

• are temporarily unavailable;

• have been modified;

• are being phased out; or

• have been discontinued.

A reference to Booking, Listings, Groups, Events, Partners, advertising, catalogues or another Service does not constitute a guarantee that the Service will be available to a particular user or remain available indefinitely.

16.15. Immediate Changes

Where reasonably necessary, ARMTED may make changes effective immediately or on shorter notice where permitted by applicable law.

This may include changes required to address:

• an urgent legal requirement;

• a court or governmental order;

• an immediate regulatory requirement;

• cybersecurity risks;

• fraud;

• abuse;

• threats to users;

• regulated-item risks;

• serious platform-integrity risks;

• third-party platform requirements;

• app-store requirements;

• payment-network requirements;

• critical technical problems; or

• other urgent circumstances.

Where applicable law requires notice despite the urgency, ARMTED will provide notice as required.

16.16. Effective Date

Each version of these Terms may specify an effective date.

Unless applicable law or the relevant notice provides otherwise:

• a new user will be subject to the version in effect when the user accepts the Terms; and

• an existing user will become subject to an updated version in accordance with the notice and acceptance procedures applicable to that update.

ARMTED may maintain records identifying which version of the Terms applies or was accepted by a user.

16.17. Version Records

ARMTED may maintain records concerning:

• Terms versions;

• effective dates;

• publication dates;

• language versions;

• jurisdiction-specific supplements;

• user acceptance;

• reacceptance;

• acceptance source;

• acceptance time;

• technical evidence associated with acceptance; and

• other information reasonably necessary to demonstrate the applicable contractual relationship.

Such records may be retained for purposes including legal compliance and the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Processing of personal data associated with such records is governed by the Privacy Policy and applicable law.

16.18. Localized Versions

ARMTED may provide these Terms in multiple languages.

Localized versions may be prepared to make the Terms accessible to users in different markets.

ARMTED may maintain a designated master version and localized versions corresponding to the same contractual version.

Where required by applicable law, the version legally applicable to a particular user will be determined by the applicable jurisdiction-specific rules and supplements.

Nothing in this Section permits ARMTED to disregard mandatory language requirements imposed by applicable law.

16.19. Jurisdiction-Specific Supplements

ARMTED may supplement these Terms with jurisdiction-specific provisions.

Such supplements may apply based on factors including:

• country;

• state;

• province;

• territory;

• market;

• residence;

• location of a regulated activity; or

• another legally relevant connection.

A jurisdiction-specific supplement may:

• modify a provision of these Terms;

• add mandatory rights;

• impose additional user obligations;

• provide additional disclosures;

• modify dispute-resolution provisions; or

• establish rules concerning particular Services or regulated activities.

Where an applicable jurisdiction-specific supplement conflicts with the Global Terms, the supplement will prevail to the extent stated in that supplement or required by applicable law.

16.20. Changes to Jurisdiction-Specific Supplements

ARMTED may update jurisdiction-specific supplements independently from the Global Terms.

A change applicable only to users in a particular jurisdiction does not require ARMTED to modify the Global Terms for every user.

Where renewed acceptance is legally or contractually required, ARMTED may require acceptance only from affected users.

16.21. Expansion to New Markets

ARMTED may enter new countries, states, territories or markets.

ARMTED may introduce new supplements, restrictions, eligibility requirements, Listing rules, consent mechanisms, disclosures or other conditions applicable to those markets.

The availability of ARMTED in one jurisdiction does not create an obligation to offer identical functionality in another.

ARMTED may offer, restrict or discontinue Services on a market-by-market basis.

16.22. Commercial Changes

ARMTED may modify its commercial model over time.

Subject to applicable law and existing contractual commitments, this may include:

• introducing advertising into previously advertising-free areas;

• introducing Paid Services;

• introducing subscriptions;

• introducing new promotional products;

• changing prices;

• changing promotion models;

• introducing new business products;

• changing free usage limits;

• making previously paid functionality free;

• making previously free functionality paid; or

• introducing other lawful monetization models.

Where a commercial change requires modification of these Terms, ARMTED may update them accordingly.

The previous availability of a Service without charge does not create a perpetual right to receive that Service without charge.

16.23. Changes to Paid Services

Changes to Paid Services may additionally be governed by Section 8 and the Paid Services Terms.

ARMTED may modify the terms applicable to future purchases without changing the terms of a completed purchase where the existing agreement or applicable law prevents such change.

A user who does not wish to purchase a Paid Service under updated terms may choose not to make the future purchase.

16.24. Existing Paid Commitments

An amendment to these Terms does not eliminate obligations ARMTED has already expressly undertaken concerning an existing Paid Service where those obligations cannot lawfully or contractually be changed.

Where ARMTED discontinues or materially modifies a Service during an existing paid commitment, the remedies described in Section 8 may apply.

Nothing in this Section requires ARMTED to continue offering the relevant Paid Service after the existing commitment has been satisfied.

16.25. Notice Methods

Where notice is appropriate or required, ARMTED may use one or more reasonable communication methods, including:

• an in-app notice;

• a website notice;

• an account banner;

• a modal or acceptance screen;

• email;

• push notification;

• a notice within the relevant Service; or

• another reasonable electronic method.

Users are responsible for maintaining accurate contact information where required for account communications.

Failure to read a properly provided notice does not by itself prevent that notice from having effect where applicable law permits electronic notice in that manner.

16.26. Continued Use

Where applicable law permits changes to become binding through notice and continued use without renewed express acceptance, continued use of the affected Services after the applicable effective date may constitute acceptance of the updated Terms.

This mechanism will not be used where applicable law or the nature of the amendment requires renewed express acceptance.

Where renewed express acceptance is required, ARMTED may restrict access to affected functionality until acceptance occurs.

16.27. Rejection of Updated Terms

Where renewed acceptance is required and a user does not agree to the updated Terms, the user may stop using the affected Services and, where applicable, request deletion of the account.

ARMTED is not required to continue providing a Service indefinitely under an obsolete version of the Terms solely because a user declines an updated version.

Where reasonably possible and permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may restrict only the affected Service rather than terminate access to unrelated functionality.

16.28. No Retroactive Creation of User Obligations

Unless applicable law permits otherwise, an amendment will not retroactively create liability for conduct that was lawful under the contractual terms applicable when that conduct occurred.

However, changes may govern:

• continued availability of existing content;

• future use of Services;

• future publication;

• future distribution;

• future promotion;

• future transactions;

• future bookings; and

• other activity occurring after the new terms become effective.

Rights and obligations validly created under earlier versions may survive where the applicable terms provide for survival.

16.29. No Retroactive Revocation of ARMTED Rights

A later version of these Terms does not, merely by replacing an earlier version, revoke rights that were validly granted to ARMTED under the earlier version and were expressly or by their nature intended to continue.

This includes, to the extent permitted by applicable law, continuing rights concerning:

• User Content;

• photographs;

• videos;

• catalogue incorporation;

• previously created promotional materials;

• intellectual property;

• enforcement records;

• payment records;

• anonymized information;

• legal claims; and

• other surviving rights.

Accordingly, termination, replacement or amendment of these Terms does not itself require ARMTED to unwind every lawful use made or authorized under an earlier version.

16.30. Changes Required to Protect ARMTED

Subject to applicable law, ARMTED may amend these Terms where reasonably necessary to protect:

• ARMTED’s legal position;

• intellectual property;

• Services;

• users;

• security;

• commercial interests;

• ability to operate in particular jurisdictions;

• ability to use third-party providers;

• ability to offer advertising or Paid Services; or

• ability to respond to new legal or technological risks.

The fact that an amendment benefits or protects ARMTED does not by itself make the amendment invalid, provided that the amendment is introduced and applied in accordance with applicable law.

16.31. No Waiver Through Previous Terms or Practices

The fact that an earlier version of these Terms did not expressly address particular functionality, conduct or technology does not create a permanent right to continuation of the previous contractual treatment.

Likewise, ARMTED’s previous practice concerning a Service does not prevent ARMTED from prospectively changing that practice or the Terms governing it.

16.32. Severability of Amendments

If a particular amendment is invalid or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, that does not automatically invalidate:

• the remainder of the amended Terms;

• the previous valid rights of ARMTED;

• other amendments; or

• the Terms as applied in other jurisdictions.

The affected provision will apply to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

16.33. Mandatory Law

Nothing in this Section gives ARMTED a right to modify these Terms in a manner prohibited by mandatory applicable law.

Where applicable law requires:

• advance notice;

• a specific notice period;

• express acceptance;

• a right to terminate;

• preservation of an existing contractual right;

• a refund;

• consent;

• or another procedural or substantive protection,

ARMTED will provide that protection to the extent required.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

17.1. General Principle

These Terms and the relationship between you and ARMTED are governed by the law specified in this Section and any applicable jurisdiction-specific supplement.

The choice of law in these Terms applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in these Terms deprives a consumer of any protection provided by mandatory provisions of law that would apply notwithstanding the contractual choice of law.

17.2. Governing Law

Except where an applicable jurisdiction-specific supplement or mandatory law provides otherwise, these Terms and any contractual relationship arising from them are governed by the laws of [COUNTRY OF ARMTED OPERATOR], without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles.

This choice of law applies, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to matters concerning:

• formation and interpretation of these Terms;

• access to and use of the Services;

• User Content licences;

• Listings;

• Booking;

• Paid Services;

• account restrictions and termination;

• intellectual property;

• contractual liability;

• disputes concerning ARMTED Services; and

• other contractual matters arising from the relationship between ARMTED and the user.

Mandatory rules that cannot lawfully be excluded remain unaffected.

17.3. Consumer Protection

If you use ARMTED as a consumer, nothing in the choice-of-law provisions of these Terms deprives you of mandatory consumer protections that apply to you under applicable law.

In particular, where applicable law gives you mandatory rights based on your habitual residence or the market to which ARMTED directs its Services, those rights remain available to the extent required by law.

A jurisdiction-specific supplement may describe additional consumer rights applicable in a particular market.

17.4. Courts and Jurisdiction

Except where mandatory applicable law provides otherwise, disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services will be subject to the jurisdiction of the competent courts of [CITY / COUNTRY OF ARMTED OPERATOR].

This jurisdiction clause applies to the maximum extent permitted by law.

If mandatory law entitles you to bring proceedings before another court, including a court in your place of residence, nothing in these Terms removes that right.

Similarly, ARMTED will bring proceedings against a consumer only in a court permitted by applicable mandatory law.

17.5. Business Users

If you use ARMTED for purposes relating to your trade, business, profession or organization, you agree, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, that the courts of [CITY / COUNTRY OF ARMTED OPERATOR] will have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from or relating to:

• these Terms;

• the Services;

• Partners functionality;

• Paid Services;

• Listings;

• Booking;

• business profiles;

• advertising;

• promotions; or

• another commercial relationship with ARMTED,

unless a separate written agreement or applicable jurisdiction-specific supplement provides otherwise.

17.6. Informal Resolution

Before commencing formal proceedings, ARMTED encourages users to contact ARMTED and attempt to resolve the dispute informally.

A user may contact ARMTED through the support or legal contact methods made available through the Services or Legal Notice.

Where reasonably appropriate, the parties should provide sufficient information to identify:

• the account;

• the relevant Service;

• the nature of the dispute;

• the relevant transaction, Listing, Booking or content;

• the requested resolution; and

• other information reasonably necessary to understand the dispute.

Nothing in this Section prevents a party from seeking immediate legal relief where delay could materially prejudice its rights or where mandatory law permits proceedings without prior informal contact.

17.7. No Obligation to Settle

ARMTED’s participation in informal discussions, support processes or dispute-resolution efforts does not constitute:

• an admission of liability;

• an admission of wrongdoing;

• a waiver of any defence;

• acceptance of the user’s legal characterization of the matter; or

• an obligation to settle.

ARMTED may reject a proposed resolution where it reasonably considers the claim unsupported, disproportionate or otherwise inappropriate.

17.8. Moderation Disputes

Disputes concerning:

• removal of content;

• restriction of content;

• suspension;

• termination;

• recommendation restrictions;

• advertising restrictions;

• Listing moderation; or

• other platform-enforcement decisions

may be subject to the internal review or appeal mechanisms described in Section 10 and applicable ARMTED policies.

Use of an internal appeal mechanism does not prevent a user from exercising rights that applicable law independently provides.

17.9. EU Digital Services Act Remedies

Where the Digital Services Act or another applicable law gives a user rights concerning moderation or platform decisions, those rights remain available notwithstanding this Section.

Where applicable, this may include:

• internal complaint handling;

• receipt of reasons for qualifying moderation decisions;

• access to certified out-of-court dispute settlement concerning qualifying decisions; and

• access to competent courts or authorities.

Participation in an internal or out-of-court process does not eliminate judicial remedies available under applicable law.

17.10. Consumer Alternative Dispute Resolution

Where ARMTED is legally required to participate in or provide information about a consumer alternative dispute-resolution mechanism, ARMTED will provide the required information through the applicable Legal Notice, Paid Services Terms, jurisdiction-specific supplement or another appropriate notice.

Unless mandatory law provides otherwise, nothing in these Terms constitutes a voluntary commitment by ARMTED to participate in every private or alternative dispute-resolution procedure proposed by a user.

17.11. Arbitration

ARMTED may introduce arbitration provisions for particular jurisdictions, user categories or Services through a jurisdiction-specific supplement where arbitration is legally appropriate and enforceable.

Any arbitration provision may address matters including:

• the scope of disputes subject to arbitration;

• the arbitration provider;

• applicable rules;

• location or method of proceedings;

• allocation of fees;

• individual versus collective proceedings;

• opt-out rights where applicable; and

• exceptions allowing claims to be brought in court.

No global arbitration obligation applies unless the applicable version of these Terms or a jurisdiction-specific supplement expressly provides for one.

17.12. United States Supplement

ARMTED may adopt a separate United States supplement governing disputes with users located in the United States.

That supplement may, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, include:

• binding individual arbitration;

• waiver of jury trial;

• limitations concerning class or representative proceedings;

• informal dispute-notice requirements;

• small-claims exceptions;

• intellectual-property and injunctive-relief exceptions; and

• other dispute-resolution procedures.

Any such provisions will apply only where properly disclosed and validly accepted.

17.13. No Implied Arbitration

The existence of a reference to arbitration in these Terms does not by itself impose arbitration on a user unless the applicable contractual provisions clearly establish that obligation.

Where ARMTED relies on an arbitration agreement, ARMTED may require express electronic acceptance or another acceptance mechanism appropriate under applicable law.

17.14. Injunctive and Protective Relief

Nothing in these Terms prevents ARMTED from seeking temporary, preliminary, injunctive or other protective relief where reasonably necessary to protect:

• intellectual property;

• confidential information;

• security;

• the Services;

• users;

• data;

• business assets; or

• other rights for which monetary damages may be inadequate.

ARMTED may seek such relief before any court or tribunal having lawful authority to grant it, subject to applicable law.

17.15. Intellectual Property Disputes

ARMTED may take legal action to protect its:

• trademarks;

• software;

• databases;

• catalogues;

• copyrighted materials;

• trade secrets;

• APIs;

• technical systems;

• User Content licences; and

• other intellectual-property or contractual rights.

Nothing in a general dispute-resolution process requires ARMTED to continue allowing alleged infringement while a dispute is pending.

ARMTED may seek immediate removal, restriction or injunctive relief where reasonably necessary.

17.16. User Content Licence Disputes

A dispute concerning ARMTED’s use of photographs, videos or other User Content will be assessed by reference to the version of these Terms and Section 4 applicable to the relevant grant of rights.

Where ARMTED validly obtained rights to use User Content, subsequent:

• deletion of the account;

• removal of the original Listing;

• removal of the original post;

• termination of these Terms; or

• refusal to accept a later version of these Terms

does not by itself retroactively invalidate rights that validly arose and survive under the applicable agreement.

This includes, to the extent permitted by applicable law, previously authorized uses in:

• catalogues;

• firearm or manufacturer pages;

• applications;

• websites;

• social media;

• advertising;

• marketing materials; and

• promotional campaigns.

17.17. Advertising and Data-Related Disputes

Disputes concerning ARMTED’s processing of personal data for recommendations, advertising, personalization, analytics or related purposes are also subject to applicable data-protection law and the Privacy Policy.

Nothing in this Section limits a user’s right to lodge a complaint with a competent data-protection authority where such a right exists.

Likewise, a contractual dispute mechanism does not replace any consent withdrawal, objection or other statutory privacy right available under applicable law.

17.18. Disputes Concerning Third Parties

Where a dispute arises between:

• users;

• a user and a seller;

• a user and a Provider;

• a user and a shooting range;

• a user and a business;

• a user and an advertiser; or

• other independent third parties,

the dispute should generally be resolved between those parties.

ARMTED does not become responsible for resolving the dispute merely because:

• the parties discovered each other through ARMTED;

• communication occurred through ARMTED;

• the subject was displayed in a Listing;

• the booking was created through ARMTED;

• an advertisement appeared through ARMTED; or

• ARMTED provided related technical functionality.

ARMTED may nevertheless take independent platform action where the circumstances indicate fraud, abuse, illegality or violation of ARMTED policies.

17.19. Booking Disputes

Unless ARMTED expressly acts as the provider of the underlying service, disputes concerning performance of a booked service are primarily between the user and the relevant Provider.

This may include disputes concerning:

• service quality;

• Provider cancellation;

• no-show;

• safety;

• facilities;

• equipment;

• personnel;

• Provider rules; or

• performance of the underlying service.

The fact that ARMTED provides Booking technology does not by itself make ARMTED a party to the underlying service dispute.

17.20. Listing and Transaction Disputes

Disputes arising from a transaction or attempted transaction concerning an item displayed in a Listing are generally disputes between the relevant users or third parties.

ARMTED does not assume contractual responsibility for such transaction merely because:

• the Listing was published through ARMTED;

• ARMTED promoted the Listing;

• ARMTED moderated the Listing;

• the parties used ARMTED messaging; or

• ARMTED provided catalogue information.

Nothing in this provision limits responsibility arising from ARMTED’s own acts where such responsibility cannot lawfully be excluded.

17.21. Paid Services Disputes

Disputes concerning a purchase from ARMTED are governed additionally by the Paid Services Terms applicable to that purchase.

A user must distinguish between:

• the Paid Service purchased from ARMTED; and

• any independent commercial outcome the user hoped to achieve through that Service.

For example, a dispute concerning whether a promotion was provided is distinct from dissatisfaction that the promotion did not result in a sale, Booking, inquiry or other desired outcome.

17.22. Evidence and Electronic Records

To the extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may rely on electronic records in connection with disputes.

Such records may include:

• account records;

• acceptance records;

• versions of legal documents;

• acceptance timestamps;

• IP and technical information where lawfully retained;

• User Content records;

• Listing revisions;

• compliance declarations;

• payment records;

• Booking records;

• moderation records;

• messages and support records;

• audit logs; and

• other relevant electronic records.

The absence of a paper document does not by itself invalidate an electronic record where electronic evidence is legally recognized.

17.23. Compliance Acceptance Records

ARMTED may maintain records demonstrating which version of:

• these Terms;

• a jurisdiction-specific supplement;

• Paid Services Terms;

• Booking Terms;

• Partners Terms;

• Firearms Listing Policy;

• compliance declaration; or

• another document

was presented to or accepted by a user.

Where legally relevant, such records may be used as evidence of the contractual or compliance state applicable at a particular time.

17.24. Burden and Standard of Proof

Nothing in these Terms changes any burden or standard of proof established by mandatory applicable law.

ARMTED’s internal records, verification statuses, moderation decisions or system logs may constitute evidence but do not automatically override statutory evidentiary rules or judicial assessment.

17.25. Time Limits for Claims

Any statutory limitation or prescription period applicable to a claim remains governed by applicable law.

For business users, a jurisdiction-specific supplement or separate business agreement may establish shorter contractual notification or claim periods where permitted by law.

Nothing in the Global Terms shortens a consumer limitation period where such limitation cannot lawfully be shortened.

17.26. No Class or Representative Waiver in Global Core

The Global Terms do not impose a universal waiver of class, collective or representative proceedings.

ARMTED may introduce such limitations in a jurisdiction-specific supplement where they are valid and appropriate, including potentially in the United States.

Nothing in this Section restricts collective or representative rights that applicable law does not permit ARMTED to waive.

17.27. Costs of Proceedings

Each party bears its own costs of a dispute except to the extent:

• a court or tribunal awards costs;

• applicable law provides otherwise;

• an arbitration agreement provides otherwise;

• an indemnification provision applies; or

• another valid agreement allocates costs.

Nothing in these Terms requires a consumer to pay costs that applicable law prohibits ARMTED from imposing.

17.28. No Admission Through Settlement Discussions

Settlement discussions, offers, support communications or voluntary attempts to resolve a dispute do not constitute an admission of liability unless expressly stated otherwise in a binding settlement.

ARMTED may offer:

• credit;

• refunds;

• account restoration;

• Service extensions;

• technical assistance;

• content restoration; or

• another accommodation

without admitting legal liability.

17.29. Reservation of Defences

Participation by ARMTED in:

• support;

• mediation;

• settlement negotiations;

• an appeal;

• alternative dispute resolution;

• regulatory correspondence; or

• another dispute process

does not waive any defence, limitation of liability, jurisdiction objection, indemnification right or other right available to ARMTED unless ARMTED expressly waives it in writing.

17.30. Multiple Legal Bases

A dispute may involve contractual, statutory, tort, intellectual-property, privacy or other legal claims.

Nothing in this Section expands ARMTED’s liability merely because a claimant characterizes the same underlying facts under multiple legal theories.

Any applicable limitations, defences and mandatory-law exceptions will apply according to applicable law.

17.31. Remedies Are Not Cumulative Beyond Actual Entitlement

To the extent permitted by applicable law, a claimant may not obtain duplicate recovery for the same loss merely by asserting multiple claims or legal theories.

Any damages or remedies remain subject to:

• proof;

• causation;

• applicable limitations;

• statutory requirements; and

• the limitations of liability contained in these Terms where enforceable.

17.32. Continued Operation During a Dispute

Unless applicable law, a court order or ARMTED determines otherwise, the existence of a dispute does not require ARMTED to suspend operation of the platform or affected Services.

ARMTED may continue:

• operating the Services;

• modifying the Services;

• enforcing these Terms;

• moderating content;

• using User Content within validly granted rights;

• operating recommendation systems;

• displaying advertising; and

• conducting normal business operations

while a dispute is pending.

17.33. No Obligation to Preserve a Service Pending a Dispute

The existence of a dispute concerning a Service does not create an obligation for ARMTED to maintain that Service while the dispute is pending.

ARMTED may continue to modify, suspend or discontinue:

• Booking;

• Listings;

• advertising functionality;

• recommendations;

• business functionality;

• integrations; or

• other Services

in accordance with these Terms and applicable law.

Where a court or other competent authority validly orders otherwise, ARMTED will comply with the binding order.

17.34. Corporate Successors

Subject to applicable law, the rights and obligations contained in this Section may be exercised by a lawful successor to the ARMTED business.

A merger, acquisition, restructuring or sale of business does not automatically terminate dispute-resolution provisions applicable to existing relationships.

17.35. Jurisdiction-Specific Rules Prevail

Because ARMTED operates internationally, dispute-resolution rules may differ by jurisdiction.

Applicable supplements may therefore modify this Section concerning matters including:

• governing law;

• court jurisdiction;

• arbitration;

• consumer rights;

• class actions;

• ADR;

• regulatory remedies; and

• mandatory procedural protections.

Where an applicable supplement conflicts with this Section, the supplement prevails to the extent stated or legally required.

17.36. Severability

If a choice-of-law, jurisdiction, arbitration or other dispute-resolution provision is unenforceable in a particular jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Where possible, an unenforceable provision should be interpreted in the closest enforceable manner consistent with its intended purpose rather than invalidating the entire Section.

17.37. No Waiver of Mandatory Rights

Nothing in this Section restricts a person’s right to:

• bring proceedings in a court where mandatory law permits it;

• complain to a regulator;

• exercise data-protection rights;

• use mandatory DSA remedies;

• report unlawful conduct to authorities; or

• exercise another right that applicable law does not permit ARMTED to waive.

17.38. Survival

This Section survives:

• termination of an account;

• deletion of an account;

• termination of these Terms;

• discontinuation of a Service; and

• cessation of use of ARMTED,

with respect to disputes arising from events, rights or obligations occurring before or surviving such termination.

The survival of this Section also applies to disputes concerning surviving User Content licences, intellectual-property rights, payment records, indemnification obligations and other rights that continue under these Terms.

18. General Provisions

18.1. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with the policies, supplemental terms and other documents expressly incorporated into or made applicable alongside them, constitute the agreement governing your use of the relevant ARMTED Services.

Depending on the Services you use, the applicable contractual framework may include:

• these Terms of Service;

• the Community Guidelines;

• the Listing Policy;

• the Firearms Listing Policy;

• the Paid Services Terms;

• the Booking Terms;

• the Partners Terms;

• the Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy;

• applicable Listing Compliance Declarations;

• applicable jurisdiction-specific supplements; and

• other terms expressly presented as applicable to a particular Service.

The Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy provide information concerning personal-data processing and related technologies and apply according to their nature and applicable law.

Except where applicable law provides otherwise, statements, marketing materials, support communications, website descriptions or other communications do not modify these Terms unless ARMTED expressly agrees that they form part of the applicable contractual terms.

18.2. Order of Precedence

Where multiple ARMTED documents apply to the same activity, they should be interpreted together where reasonably possible.

If an irreconcilable conflict exists, the following order generally applies in relation to the subject matter concerned:

1. mandatory applicable law;

2. applicable jurisdiction-specific supplement;

3. terms specifically governing the relevant Service or transaction;

4. these Terms of Service; and

5. general policies and guidelines incorporated into these Terms.

A specific provision governing a particular Service prevails over a general provision only with respect to the subject matter specifically addressed by that provision.

18.3. Jurisdiction-Specific Supplements

ARMTED may apply different supplemental terms depending on legally relevant circumstances including:

• country;

• state;

• province;

• territory;

• habitual residence;

• market;

• location of a regulated activity; or

• another jurisdictional connection.

Such supplements may provide additional rights, restrictions, disclosures or obligations.

The existence of different terms for different jurisdictions does not require ARMTED to provide identical Services, functionality or commercial arrangements in every market.

18.4. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable, that provision will be interpreted, limited or modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable where applicable law permits.

If such modification is not possible, the affected provision will be severed to the minimum extent necessary.

The remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.

The invalidity or unenforceability of a provision in one jurisdiction does not automatically make that provision invalid in another jurisdiction.

18.5. Maximum Lawful Effect

These Terms are intended to apply to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Where a provision would be enforceable if interpreted more narrowly than its literal wording, the provision should, where applicable law permits, be interpreted in that narrower enforceable manner rather than treated as entirely invalid.

This principle applies particularly to provisions concerning:

• licences;

• limitations of liability;

• indemnification;

• suspension and termination;

• dispute resolution;

• jurisdiction;

• data use;

• Service modifications; and

• survival of rights.

Nothing in this Section authorizes an interpretation inconsistent with mandatory law.

18.6. No Waiver

A failure or delay by ARMTED to exercise or enforce any right, remedy, policy or provision does not constitute a waiver of that right.

In particular, the fact that ARMTED:

• does not enforce a rule in one case;

• delays enforcement;

• restores content;

• reinstates an account;

• provides an exception;

• grants additional time;

• provides support;

• issues a refund;

• offers credit; or

• otherwise acts flexibly

does not prevent ARMTED from enforcing its rights in that or another situation later.

Any waiver by ARMTED must be express and applies only to the specific circumstances for which it is given.

18.7. No Reliance on Past Practice

A user does not acquire a contractual right merely because ARMTED has historically:

• provided a particular Service;

• offered a feature for free;

• applied a particular moderation approach;

• provided support in a particular manner;

• allowed particular content;

• maintained a particular technical integration;

• offered a particular price;

• used a particular recommendation algorithm; or

• followed another operational practice.

Subject to applicable law and existing contractual commitments, ARMTED may prospectively change its practices, policies, functionality and commercial arrangements.

18.8. Assignment by Users

Except where applicable law provides otherwise, you may not assign, transfer, delegate, sell or otherwise dispose of your rights or obligations under these Terms without ARMTED’s prior written consent.

This restriction includes attempts to transfer:

• a personal account;

• contractual rights associated with an account;

• Paid Service entitlements;

• business permissions; or

• other rights that ARMTED has designated as personal or non-transferable.

ARMTED may provide separate mechanisms for transferring authorized business roles or organizational control.

18.9. Assignment by ARMTED

To the extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED may assign, transfer, novate or otherwise transfer all or part of its rights and obligations under these Terms in connection with:

• a merger;

• acquisition;

• restructuring;

• financing;

• change of control;

• sale of shares;

• sale of assets;

• transfer of a business or Service;

• corporate reorganization; or

• another legitimate business transaction.

Such transfer may include rights relating to:

• User Content licences;

• intellectual property;

• contracts;

• Paid Services;

• business relationships;

• records; and

• other rights and obligations associated with ARMTED.

Where applicable law requires notice, consent or another measure, ARMTED will comply with that requirement.

18.10. Successors

References in these Terms to ARMTED include, where applicable, its lawful successors and permitted assigns.

A lawful transfer of the ARMTED business does not automatically terminate:

• these Terms;

• user accounts;

• previously granted User Content licences;

• Paid Service obligations;

• intellectual-property rights;

• dispute-resolution provisions; or

• other rights and obligations intended to continue.

18.11. Independent Parties

Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, agency, partnership, fiduciary, franchise or joint-venture relationship between ARMTED and a user.

Except where ARMTED expressly authorizes otherwise, users have no authority to:

• bind ARMTED;

• make representations on behalf of ARMTED;

• incur obligations for ARMTED;

• enter into agreements on behalf of ARMTED; or

• represent themselves as an agent or employee of ARMTED.

This applies equally to business users, Providers, advertisers and other third parties merely using the Services.

18.12. No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except where these Terms expressly provide otherwise or applicable law requires otherwise, these Terms are intended to govern the relationship between ARMTED and the user and do not create enforceable rights in unrelated third parties.

A third-party service provider does not become a party to these Terms merely because ARMTED uses its services.

Likewise, another user does not acquire contractual rights against ARMTED under your agreement merely because that user interacts with your content or account.

18.13. Electronic Communications

You agree that ARMTED may communicate with you electronically where permitted by applicable law.

Electronic communications may include:

• in-app notices;

• website notices;

• account notifications;

• email;

• push notifications;

• electronic acceptance screens;

• support communications; and

• other electronic methods reasonably appropriate to the relevant Service.

Where applicable law recognizes electronic communications, such communications may satisfy requirements that information be provided in writing.

18.14. Electronic Acceptance

Where ARMTED requires acceptance of a legal document, policy, declaration or supplement, acceptance may be recorded electronically.

Electronic acceptance may include:

• selecting a checkbox;

• pressing an acceptance button;

• confirming a declaration;

• completing another affirmative electronic action; or

• another legally valid mechanism.

ARMTED may maintain records concerning:

• the document accepted;

• document version;

• applicable supplements;

• locale;

• jurisdiction;

• time of acceptance;

• Service through which acceptance occurred;

• technical request information; and

• other information reasonably necessary to demonstrate acceptance.

Such records may be used as evidence of acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.

18.15. Context-Specific Confirmations

ARMTED may require confirmations relating to a particular action or resource rather than to the account generally.

For example, ARMTED may require a user publishing a Listing to confirm a current Listing Compliance Declaration applicable to that specific Listing.

Such confirmation may be recorded together with information identifying:

• the user;

• the relevant Listing or other resource;

• the declaration;

• the applicable version;

• jurisdiction-specific supplements;

• time of confirmation; and

• other relevant context.

A contextual confirmation does not mean that ARMTED has independently verified the truth or legality of the user’s declaration.

18.16. Records and Audit Evidence

ARMTED may maintain records reasonably necessary to document operation of the Services and the parties’ relationship.

This may include:

• account records;

• Terms acceptance;

• compliance declarations;

• version history;

• Listing revisions;

• payment records;

• Booking records;

• support records;

• moderation decisions;

• appeals;

• security records;

• technical logs;

• audit records; and

• other relevant evidence.

Such records may be retained and used where permitted for:

• operating the Services;

• legal compliance;

• fraud prevention;

• security;

• dispute handling;

• accounting;

• enforcement;

• establishing, exercising or defending legal claims; and

• other lawful purposes.

Personal data contained in such records remains subject to applicable data-protection law.

18.17. Headings

Headings and section titles are provided for convenience and organization.

They do not limit or expand the substantive meaning of the provisions to which they relate.

Examples introduced by expressions such as “including”, “for example”, “may include” or similar language are illustrative and not exhaustive unless expressly stated otherwise.

18.18. Interpretation of “Including”

Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the words:

• “include”;

• “includes”; and

• “including”

mean “including without limitation”.

The identification of particular examples does not restrict a general provision to those examples.

18.19. Singular and Plural

Where appropriate to the context:

• the singular includes the plural;

• the plural includes the singular; and

• references to a person may include an individual, company, organization or other legal entity.

18.20. References to Law

References to applicable law include, where relevant:

• legislation;

• regulations;

• legally binding administrative requirements;

• court orders;

• regulatory orders; and

• amendments or replacements of such legal instruments.

A reference to a legal rule does not constitute a representation that ARMTED has identified every legal requirement applicable to every user’s individual activities.

18.21. Compliance With Mandatory Law

These Terms do not require either party to act unlawfully.

Where an obligation contained in these Terms cannot lawfully be performed in a particular jurisdiction, it applies only to the extent permitted by applicable law.

ARMTED may modify, restrict or discontinue a Service where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law.

18.22. Conflicts Between Markets

ARMTED may operate differently in different markets.

Accordingly:

• a feature available in one country may be unavailable in another;

• a Listing category permitted in one market may be restricted in another;

• different disclosures may apply;

• different consent requirements may apply;

• different Paid Services may be available;

• different prices or currencies may apply; and

• different contractual supplements may apply.

Users do not acquire a right to receive terms or functionality identical to those offered in another jurisdiction.

18.23. Changes to the Services Without Amendment of Every Reference

Because ARMTED may continuously modify its Services, these Terms may contain references to functionality that has been modified, restricted or discontinued.

Such references do not constitute a commitment that the functionality currently exists or will continue to exist.

ARMTED is not required to amend every provision of these Terms immediately each time a feature is technically modified, provided that users receive any information or contractual update required by applicable law.

18.24. Service Names and Rebranding

ARMTED may rename, reorganize, combine or rebrand Services without creating a new contractual relationship solely because of the change in name or branding.

A reference in these Terms to a Service includes its successor or substantially corresponding functionality where reasonably clear from context.

ARMTED may likewise change names used for:

• Pulse;

• Listings;

• Booking;

• Partners;

• catalogues;

• promotional products;

• account types; or

• other functionality.

18.25. No Obligation to Continue Business Operations

Nothing in these Terms requires ARMTED to continue:

• operating a particular Service;

• operating in a particular market;

• supporting a particular platform;

• maintaining a particular business model;

• maintaining free Services;

• maintaining Paid Services;

• maintaining an advertising model;

• maintaining Booking;

• maintaining Listings; or

• maintaining the ARMTED platform indefinitely.

ARMTED may reduce, restructure, sell, transfer or discontinue all or part of its operations subject to mandatory applicable law and outstanding contractual obligations.

18.26. No Guarantee of Commercial Success

Use of ARMTED does not guarantee any commercial, professional or social result.

ARMTED does not guarantee that a user will obtain:

• sales;

• buyers;

• customers;

• bookings;

• followers;

• reach;

• visibility;

• reputation;

• business growth;

• commercial opportunities; or

• another particular benefit

from use of the Services.

Users make their own decisions concerning the extent to which they rely commercially on ARMTED.

18.27. User Responsibility for Independent Records

Users and business users are responsible for maintaining independent copies or records where reasonably necessary for their own legal, business or operational needs.

ARMTED should not be treated as the sole repository for:

• legally required records;

• accounting information;

• licences;

• important photographs or videos;

• Booking records;

• business records;

• transaction evidence; or

• other information requiring guaranteed retention.

Nothing in these Terms creates a general archival or record-retention obligation beyond obligations expressly undertaken by ARMTED or imposed by law.

18.28. No Interpretation Against Drafter

To the extent permitted by applicable law, no presumption or rule requiring ambiguous contractual language to be interpreted against the party that drafted it will apply solely because ARMTED prepared these Terms.

This provision does not restrict any mandatory consumer-contract interpretation rule that applicable law requires.

18.29. Cumulative Rights

Unless these Terms expressly state otherwise, rights and remedies available to ARMTED are cumulative.

The exercise of one right or remedy does not prevent ARMTED from exercising another right or remedy arising from:

• these Terms;

• another applicable agreement;

• intellectual-property rights;

• applicable law; or

• another lawful basis.

ARMTED may, for example, remove content and independently pursue a legal claim where both actions are available.

18.30. Survival of User Content Rights

Rights granted to ARMTED concerning User Content under Section 4 survive termination, deletion or modification of the user relationship to the extent specified in Section 4 and permitted by applicable law.

This includes, where applicable, continuing rights concerning photographs and videos already incorporated into:

• ARMTED catalogues;

• databases;

• firearm or manufacturer pages;

• websites;

• applications;

• social media;

• editorial materials;

• advertising;

• promotional campaigns; and

• marketing materials.

The termination of another part of the contractual relationship does not by itself revoke those surviving rights.

18.31. Survival of Data and Analytical Rights

Termination or deletion of an account does not prevent ARMTED from continuing to use information that has been lawfully:

• anonymized;

• aggregated;

• converted into non-personal statistics; or

• otherwise transformed so that its continued use is permitted by applicable law.

Such information may continue to be used for:

• analytics;

• statistics;

• product development;

• recommendation systems;

• catalogue development;

• advertising measurement;

• commercial analysis;

• security;

• research; and

• other lawful purposes.

Nothing in this provision authorizes continued use of identifiable personal data where applicable law requires processing to cease.

18.32. Survival of Other Provisions

Any provision that by its nature or express wording is intended to continue after termination will survive termination of these Terms, account deletion or discontinuation of a Service to the extent permitted by applicable law.

This includes, where applicable, provisions concerning:

• User Content licences;

• intellectual property;

• payments;

• refunds and chargebacks;

• indemnification;

• liability limitations;

• records;

• moderation evidence;

• security;

• fraud prevention;

• disputes;

• governing law;

• jurisdiction;

• legal claims;

• confidentiality;

• accrued obligations; and

• other surviving rights.

18.33. Force Majeure and Events Beyond Reasonable Control

To the extent permitted by applicable law, ARMTED will not be responsible for failure or delay caused by circumstances beyond its reasonable control.

Such circumstances may include:

• natural disasters;

• war;

• terrorism;

• civil disorder;

• governmental action;

• legal or regulatory intervention;

• epidemics;

• labor disputes;

• power failures;

• telecommunications failures;

• Internet failures;

• major cloud infrastructure failures;

• cybersecurity incidents;

• failures of critical third-party providers;

• app-store restrictions;

• payment-network disruptions; or

• other comparable circumstances.

ARMTED may temporarily modify, restrict or suspend affected Services while such circumstances continue.

18.34. Further Actions

Where reasonably necessary to give effect to a valid provision of these Terms, the parties will take such further actions as may reasonably be required, subject to applicable law.

Nothing in this provision requires a user to waive a mandatory statutory right or provide an additional consent that applicable law requires to be freely given.

18.35. Contact Information

Official ARMTED contact information is provided in the Legal Notice and other locations designated by ARMTED.

Users are responsible for using the appropriate contact channel for the relevant matter.

ARMTED may maintain separate channels for:

• general support;

• privacy;

• legal notices;

• intellectual-property complaints;

• illegal-content notices;

• business matters; and

• other purposes.

Sending a communication to an unrelated or unofficial channel does not necessarily constitute valid legal notice where applicable law or these Terms prescribe another method.

18.36. Notices to ARMTED

Where these Terms, another applicable ARMTED policy or applicable law requires a formal notice to ARMTED, the notice must be sent using the contact method designated for that type of notice.

ARMTED may require reasonable information necessary to identify:

• the sender;

• the account;

• the relevant content;

• the legal basis;

• the relevant transaction or Service; and

• the requested action.

Nothing in this provision limits a statutory right to use another legally valid method of notice.

18.37. Notices from ARMTED

Where ARMTED is permitted to provide notice electronically, notice may be sent using the methods described in these Terms.

A notice may apply:

• globally;

• only to users in a particular jurisdiction;

• only to affected users;

• only to users of a particular Service; or

• only to a particular account.

ARMTED is not required to notify every user of a change or matter that does not affect that user where applicable law does not require such notification.

18.38. Language

ARMTED may provide these Terms and related documents in multiple languages.

A localized version may be used for presentation to users in the relevant locale.

ARMTED may designate a master legal version for internal document management, while providing legally appropriate localized versions and jurisdiction-specific supplements where required.

If applicable law requires a particular language version to prevail or imposes language requirements concerning consumer contracts, those requirements will apply.

18.39. Document Versions

ARMTED may assign version identifiers and effective dates to these Terms and related legal documents.

The version applicable to a user may depend on:

• date of acceptance;

• jurisdiction;

• applicable supplement;

• Service used;

• later reacceptance; and

• mandatory law.

Historical versions may remain archived by ARMTED for legal, audit and evidentiary purposes.

18.40. Final Reservation of Rights

Except for rights expressly granted to users under these Terms or mandatory applicable law, ARMTED reserves all rights relating to ARMTED, the Services, its business, intellectual property, catalogues, databases, technology, commercial models and operation of the platform.

Nothing in these Terms should be interpreted as:

• requiring ARMTED to continue a Service;

• granting users ownership of ARMTED systems or derived information;

• restricting ARMTED from introducing new Services or monetization models;

• restricting ARMTED from lawfully using rights granted in User Content;

• restricting ARMTED from lawfully using aggregated or anonymized information;

• preventing ARMTED from changing its technical architecture or providers; or

• granting any right beyond one expressly stated or imposed by mandatory law.

19. Contact

19.1. ARMTED Operator

ARMTED is operated by:

Integral Dot sp. z o.o.

Further corporate and registration details, including the registered office, registration number, tax identification details and other information required by applicable law, are provided in the Legal Notice / Imprint.

For general correspondence concerning ARMTED, you may contact us at:

office@armted.com

19.2. General Contact

Unless a dedicated contact method is specified for a particular matter, users may contact ARMTED at:

office@armted.com

ARMTED may also provide contact forms, in-app support, help-centre functionality or other communication channels.

ARMTED may change, replace or discontinue individual support channels from time to time, provided that any contact channel required by applicable law remains available.

The availability of a particular support channel does not create an obligation for ARMTED to maintain that channel indefinitely.

19.3. Support Requests

Users may contact ARMTED concerning technical, account-related or operational issues through the support mechanisms made available by ARMTED.

Support may include assistance concerning:

• account access;

• technical problems;

• Listings;

• Booking;

• Paid Services;

• business profiles;

• reports;

• payments;

• account verification;

• privacy requests; and

• other ARMTED functionality.

ARMTED may determine how support requests are categorized, prioritized, assigned and handled.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise or required by applicable law, ARMTED does not guarantee:

• a particular response time;

• a particular resolution time;

• availability of support at all times;

• availability of support in every language;

• resolution of every technical issue; or

• restoration of discontinued functionality.

19.4. Legal Notices

Legal notices concerning ARMTED should be sent using the contact information designated by ARMTED for legal correspondence.

Unless another address is specifically provided in the Legal Notice or applicable policy, legal correspondence may be sent to:

office@armted.com

ARMTED may designate separate contact methods for particular legal matters.

Where applicable law requires a notice to be sent to a particular physical address, authority, representative or electronic contact point, the information specified for that purpose will apply.

19.5. Privacy and Data-Protection Matters

Questions or requests concerning privacy or personal data may be submitted using the privacy contact method made available in the Privacy Policy.

Unless ARMTED designates a separate privacy address, users may contact:

office@armted.com

Privacy-related requests may include, where applicable:

• access to personal data;

• correction;

• deletion;

• restriction;

• portability;

• objection;

• withdrawal of consent;

• questions concerning processing; and

• other rights available under applicable law.

ARMTED may require reasonable verification of identity before acting on a privacy request.

Submitting a request does not mean that ARMTED is required to grant it in full where applicable law provides an exception, limitation or competing legal basis for continued processing.

19.6. Intellectual Property Notices

Claims concerning copyright, trademarks or other intellectual-property rights should be submitted using the procedure described in the Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy.

Unless a dedicated intellectual-property contact is designated, notices may be sent to:

office@armted.com

ARMTED may require information reasonably necessary to identify:

• the rights holder;

• the protected work, mark or other right;

• the allegedly infringing content;

• the location of that content on ARMTED;

• the legal basis of the claim;

• authorization to act for the rights holder where applicable; and

• contact information.

ARMTED may reject, request clarification of or take no action on notices that do not contain information reasonably sufficient to assess the claim, subject to applicable law.

19.7. Illegal Content and Regulatory Notices

Where ARMTED provides a dedicated mechanism for notices concerning allegedly illegal content, users and third parties should use that mechanism.

Such mechanisms may be separate from ordinary customer support.

Where no dedicated address is specified, correspondence may be sent to:

office@armted.com

ARMTED may require information sufficient to identify the relevant content and understand the alleged illegality.

A notice alleging illegality does not itself establish that the reported content is unlawful.

ARMTED may investigate and determine the appropriate action in accordance with applicable law, these Terms and ARMTED policies.

19.8. Moderation and Appeals

Where ARMTED makes available an internal appeal or complaint process concerning moderation, account restrictions or other qualifying decisions, users should use the designated appeal mechanism.

Sending an ordinary email does not necessarily constitute a valid appeal where ARMTED provides a specific appeal process, unless applicable law provides otherwise.

ARMTED may require appeals to identify:

• the relevant account;

• the decision being challenged;

• the affected content;

• the reason for the appeal; and

• any additional information reasonably necessary to review the decision.

19.9. Paid Services and Payment Matters

Questions concerning purchases of ARMTED Paid Services, refunds, payment status or billing may be submitted through the support mechanisms made available by ARMTED.

Unless a dedicated payment-support address is provided, users may contact:

office@armted.com

Payment disputes involving banks, payment networks or third-party payment providers may additionally be subject to the procedures of those providers.

Contacting ARMTED does not prevent ARMTED from relying on applicable payment-provider records, transaction records, order records or other evidence concerning the relevant payment.

19.10. Booking-Related Contact

Where a question concerns the underlying service provided by a shooting range, business or other Provider, the user should generally contact the relevant Provider directly.

ARMTED support may assist with technical issues concerning the Booking Service but does not become responsible for the underlying booked service merely because ARMTED provides support.

ARMTED does not guarantee that it will be able to resolve disputes concerning:

• Provider performance;

• cancellations;

• no-shows;

• facility conditions;

• service quality; or

• other matters primarily involving the user and Provider.

19.11. Business and Partners Contact

Businesses, organizations, shooting ranges, clubs and other entities using ARMTED or ARMTED Partners may use the contact methods provided within the relevant business or Partners functionality.

Unless a separate business contact is provided, correspondence may be sent to:

office@armted.com

ARMTED may require appropriate verification before discussing or modifying information relating to a business or organization.

A person contacting ARMTED on behalf of an entity may be required to demonstrate authority to represent that entity.

19.12. Security Reports

ARMTED may provide a dedicated process for reporting suspected security vulnerabilities or security incidents.

Where no separate security contact has been designated, reports may be sent to:

office@armted.com

Users and security researchers must not exploit vulnerabilities beyond what is reasonably necessary to identify and report them and must comply with applicable law.

Reporting a suspected vulnerability does not authorize unauthorized access to systems, accounts or data.

19.13. Communications From ARMTED

ARMTED may contact users using contact information associated with their accounts or through the Services.

Depending on the circumstances, communications may be sent through:

• email;

• push notifications;

• in-app notifications;

• account banners;

• support messages;

• website notices; or

• other electronic channels.

Operational, security, legal and transactional communications may be sent independently of marketing preferences where permitted by applicable law.

Marketing communications will be subject to applicable consent and opt-out requirements.

19.14. Maintaining Accurate Contact Information

Users are responsible for maintaining accurate contact information where necessary for operation and security of their accounts.

ARMTED is not responsible for a user’s failure to receive a communication where the user:

• provided an incorrect address;

• failed to update contact information;

• blocked communications;

• configured spam filtering;

• disabled relevant device notifications; or

• otherwise prevented delivery,

except where applicable law requires ARMTED to use another method.

19.15. Electronic Delivery of Notices

Where permitted by applicable law, notices from ARMTED may be provided electronically.

An electronic notice may be considered delivered when it is:

• sent to the email address associated with the account;

• displayed through the relevant ARMTED application;

• made available through the user’s account;

• displayed on the relevant Service; or

• otherwise provided using a legally valid electronic method.

Where applicable law requires a particular method, timing or durable medium, ARMTED will comply with that requirement.

19.16. Response Times

Unless ARMTED expressly commits to a specific response time or applicable law establishes a deadline, the sending of a message does not create a contractual obligation for ARMTED to respond within a particular period.

ARMTED may prioritize communications based on factors including:

• urgency;

• safety;

• security;

• legal deadlines;

• payment issues;

• Service impact;

• account status; and

• available operational resources.

Nothing in this provision modifies statutory response deadlines applicable to privacy, regulatory or other legally protected requests.

19.17. No Guarantee of Individual Response

ARMTED may use automated systems, templates, help-centre information or other scalable mechanisms to respond to inquiries.

Unless applicable law requires individual human handling, ARMTED does not guarantee that every message will receive an individualized response.

ARMTED may close:

• duplicate requests;

• abusive requests;

• spam;

• requests lacking information reasonably necessary for resolution; or

• requests submitted through an inappropriate channel,

subject to applicable law.

19.18. Abuse of Contact Channels

Users must not misuse ARMTED contact, support, reporting or complaint channels.

Prohibited conduct includes:

• spam;

• threats;

• harassment;

• knowingly false claims;

• fraudulent requests;

• abusive repeated submissions;

• attempts to manipulate support processes; or

• attempts to obtain unauthorized access or confidential information.

ARMTED may restrict access to particular support channels where they are materially abused, provided that legally required contact mechanisms remain available.

19.19. No Admission Through Communications

Statements made during:

• support;

• customer-service correspondence;

• informal discussions;

• settlement discussions;

• moderation review; or

• other operational communications

do not constitute an admission of legal liability unless ARMTED expressly states otherwise in a binding agreement.

An employee’s or contractor’s informal statement does not modify these Terms unless that person has authority to modify the relevant agreement and expressly does so.

19.20. Official Legal Information

The authoritative corporate and legal contact details for ARMTED are those published in the current Legal Notice / Imprint.

If contact details contained in these Terms become outdated because of a change of office, email address, corporate structure or other organizational matter, ARMTED may update the relevant Legal Notice and these Terms as appropriate.

A change of contact details does not by itself create a new contractual relationship or terminate existing rights and obligations.

19.21. Changes to Contact Channels

ARMTED may introduce, change or discontinue contact channels from time to time.

For example, ARMTED may:

• replace an email address;

• introduce dedicated support forms;

• introduce automated support tools;

• create separate legal or privacy channels;

• change support providers;

• discontinue telephone support;

• introduce business support; or

• modify the way appeals are submitted.

Users do not acquire a permanent right to communicate with ARMTED through a particular technical channel merely because it was previously available.

ARMTED will maintain such contact points as are required by applicable law.

19.22. Corporate Changes

If ARMTED’s operator changes as part of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, sale or transfer of the business, relevant contact information may also change.

Subject to applicable law, correspondence and pending matters may be transferred to the successor responsible for the relevant ARMTED Service.

A change of operator does not automatically terminate valid existing:

• User Content licences;

• contractual rights;

• Paid Service obligations;

• disputes;

• moderation records;

• acceptance records; or

• other rights and obligations intended to continue.

19.23. Language of Communications

ARMTED may provide support and legal communications in languages selected by ARMTED based on the relevant market and operational availability.

The fact that ARMTED offers its interface in a particular language does not necessarily mean that every support channel will be available in that language, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

ARMTED may use translations or translation technologies to facilitate communication.

Where a legally required communication must be provided in a particular language, ARMTED will comply to the extent required.

19.24. Contact Details

Unless replaced by information published in the Legal Notice, the principal ARMTED contact details are:

Operator: Integral Dot sp. z o.o.
Email: office@armted.com

Additional registration, address and corporate details will be provided in the Legal Notice / Imprint as required by applicable law.
