However, a User who is selling an item, but whose account has been disabled, must complete any pending transactions.

III. Purchase and Shipment Legalities

II. Buyer Responsibilities

When you place a bid, you constitute entering into a legally binding contract with the Seller to purchase the item as governed by the American Gun Trading Terms and Conditions of Service, in the Listing if your bid is the winning bid. You agree to complete the purchase of the item on such terms. All payments for items purchased on the Site shall be remitted to the seller (AGT does not accept payment in any form for items bid on by buyers). You agree that you will not bid on any item unless the transfer and shipment of that item to you can be done in agreement with all Legal Requirements. You declare and guarantee that all items bid on by you are done so only for your own account and not for the benefit of any third party.

Any transactions, such as bids placed on Auctions or orders for items in Storefront Ads, are final. No bids or orders may be retracted. AGT may retract a bid or order if we determine that the Seller or Bidder is acting fraudulently and/or attempting to disrupt or interfere with valid Auctions or Ads. If we determine it to be an honest mistake, (e.g., bid is $500.00 and, bidder "accidentally" bids $5000.00), AGT and the Seller must be notified at once. Failure to do so will result in the bidder receiving a negative feedback. AGT must be notified electronically (email) within three (3) business days of the incident.

A Buyer is required to respond the Seller within three (3) business days. Otherwise, the Buyer forfeits the right to purchase the item and may receive negative feedback. Communication may be done by way of the AGT messaging platform.

Once the Seller contacts the Buyer with payment instructions, the Buyer must send traceable means of payment within ten (10) business days.

In a transaction involving a firearm, the Buyer is required to provide the Seller with the Buyer’s transferring FFL license within ten (10) business days from the day the Seller provides payment instructions. A comprehensive FFL search has been provided by the NSSFhere. The Seller must specify where to send the FFL.

If the Seller does not contact the Buyer within three (3) business days after the auction closes, the Buy-It-Now option is chosen, the price negotiation is completed, or an order from a Storefront Ad is placed. The Buyer is no longer obligated to purchase the item, and the item may be re-listed by the Seller.

A Buyer will receive a warning if his/her first and only feedback is negative. A Buyer will be suspended indefinitely if he or she receives two (2) negative feedback scores in two (2) different auctions in fewer than three (3) months or three (3) negative feedback scores in three (3) different auctions in one (1) year for failure to complete the purchase of an item from a winning bid.


– Sellers –

I. Definition

A Seller is any User who offers items for sale through any of the provided services available the Site.

The Auction Seller is a User who offers Auctions for an item that shall be in stock before the auction is created.

II. Seller Responsibilities

The Seller must describe items that will are auctioned or sold through Ads in detail. Descriptions must be accurate and include the condition of item(s), any wear, or any damage if applicable.

When a User posts any pictures, graphics, or electronic images to an auction or ad, that User grants AGT a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use that content however it deems appropriate. This license will end when the User deletes the content or account.

When content is deleted, it is done so in a manner that is similar to emptying the trash or recycle bin on a computer. Deleted content may persist as a backup copy on the AGT server for a period of time until it is overwritten by other data. However, it will not be available for others to view.

Any pictures on an auction should show the actual item and any actual items included in the auction NOT pictures of a similar item. Do not include pictures of extra items that are not part of the auction item(s).

Pictures in Storefront Ads should show the actual item or an accurate picture of a similar item from a supplier, wholesaler, drop shipper, manufacturer, or jobber catalog. Extras should not be shown in an ad if they are not included with the item.

Any extra terms of sale, including shipping cost and licensing requirements, that do not contradict the AGT terms and conditions should be disclosed by the Seller.

AGT cannot determine whether any listings on the website are counterfeit items or infringe any trademark. AGT does reserve the right to invalidate a sale, refund fees, and remove feedback for a sale of questionable authenticity. AGT will make any determination for claims of trademark infringement or counterfeit items.

ANY AND ALL LITIGATION, MEDIATION OR DISPUTES WILL BE TRIED, SETTLED, OR MEDIATED IN AND ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ALABAMA.

III. Seller Exclusivity

A Seller is obligated by contract to complete the sale of any listed Auction item in the following circumstances:

If a Seller is using multiple listing sites and receives a bid on another site, the Seller must remove the listing from AGT. In other words, keep up with your listings across the Internet. Any other classified advertisements can be used by a Seller, but parallel listings must be cancelled once a bid is placed on AGT. A Seller that fails to complete a sale may receive negative feedback and suspension or termination from AGT.

Spamming is absolutely prohibited by Sellers. Spamming may include multiple auction listings or multiple category listings simultaneously to increase viewing coverage. However, items can be listed in a similar category. Any listing that causes frustration for Buyers and/or uses excessive bandwidth unnecessarily may be considered Spamming.

Sellers may use Dutch Auctions for factory new or quantities of military style guns, where a quantity can be selected by the bidder. One picture may be used for identical items in a Dutch Auction.

AGT will remove Spam auctions without refunding any money used on those auctions. Anyone spamming numerous times will be suspended or possibly even terminated.

No refunds will be issued and all outstanding fees will be due to any Users in the following circumstances:

AGT will pursue legal action to claim any refunds or outstanding fees. The price of an item may not be manipulated by an Auction Seller by any means such as bidding on their own item, secondary account or third party Shill bidding, or any other form of price manipulation. Violation of this rule may result in litigation, which will be carried out in the state of Alabama and governed by that state’s laws.

A Seller must contact a Buyer within three (3) business days of the auction closing date with payment instructions and address.

The Seller must immediately contact the Buyer via the AGT messaging system or billing function after receiving payment for an auction.

Upon receipt of payment (and Buyer’s FFL if applicable), a Seller must ship the item through a traceable means within five (5) business days if the payment is one of the following forms of currency: cash, money order, certified funds, credit card, or online payment service. If a Seller accepts a personal check as payment, the period may be increased until the funds for the personal check are cleared by the bank. A Seller will not ship any products until payment and required FFL is received.

Sellers can validate Federal Firearms Licenses (FFLs) on-line. Curio and Relic Federal Firearms Licenses (C&R FFLs) cannot be validated on-line. A Seller has the sole discretion to accept C&R FFLs for firearms eligible for transfer under these licenses.

When an item ships, the Seller must notify the Buyer and provide a tracking number, as well as an estimated arrival date on all shipments including firearms. Seller is to insure item shipped for full closing sale price. Seller will also handle any shipping damage that may occur, And be responsible for insurance claims process.

Use of another Seller’s pictures without the express written consent of the image’s owner is grounds for termination from AGT. Storefront Merchants may use pictures from any supplier or legitimate source made available to the storefront Merchant.

A Seller must request a re-list credit within one month of the close of an auction in order for a re-list credit to be received. Any re-list credit requests made after a period of one will be denied.

The AGT website should never be mined for data, including email addresses, to solicit items in competition with a currently running auction. Anyone determined to be unauthorized solicitors may be terminated at the discretion of AGT.

If a Seller has negative first feedback, that seller’s account will be reviewed by AGT staff and may be subject to account suspension or termination in the following cases:

A Seller’s account may be reviewed and may be subject to termination by AGT if such Seller receives negative feedback for failing to deliver an item to a Buyer that has already paid.
