Terms of Service

Making a purchase on this website is an agreement to our terms & conditions.

Age and Ownership

By making a purchase at Acoating.com/Alternative Firearm Coatings, you warrant that you are at least 21 years of age and without legal restrictions to purchase/possess a firearm. Items for repair and refinishing that you are the legal owner of such items, able to send in/receive items sent in for repair under no lawful restrictions. With return shipping going to your exact current/present address and not to someone else’s address (which constitutes an illegal firearm transfer, punishable by ATF). This certifies that you are an adult and under no legal disability as provided under 18 U.S.C 922D (1) – (7).

Agreement of Terms and Release from Liability

I, the Customer, acknowledge and accept all of the terms and conditions set forth herein. Reside under the laws of Arizona.

The Customer will indemnify and defend Acoating.com/Alternative Firearm Coatings/Tim Boehler from all liability for any loss, damage, or injury to persons or property arising from or related to the performance of the agreement, including, without limitation, all consequential damages whether or not resulting from the negligence of the Customer or Customer’s agent.

Estimated Turnaround Time

We will provide an estimated turnaround time. The estimate is based on the current workload and volume of work currently being handled. Current situations are all we can honestly gauge a projected timeline on. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you understand that this turnaround estimated time can change dramatically due to the circumstances listed below, as well as other factors.

Agreement is NON Binding.

Out of stock materials/parts/manufacture inventory delays
Shipping times
Illness/death of family members/other family emergencies, holiday closures
Extenuating factors without notification

Acoating.com/Alternative Firearm Coatings reserves the right to accept or reject any work order, including previously accepted work orders. Items may be returned in unfinished/uncompleted condition at the sole discretion of Acoating.com/Alternative Firearm Coatings. Customer agrees NO FINANCIAL reimbursement for shipping either way, or ANY charge associated with the completion of rejected project.

Updates

I will provide periodic updates on your project. These will usually be when I have performed some actual work but will also try and update as to general status, particularly if turnaround times are changing (for better or worse). Feel free to email in an inquiry if you have not heard from us in a while, such as in excess of 4 weeks. We do not consider asking for an update to be “bugging me”. I prefer email due to the record I can refer to later and the fact that it can be handled when I have time during the day. The phone is not as reliable since I may not answer it while working. All work will be processed in order. Small work (non-build+refinish) work WILL be started ahead of existing larger jobs and turns around at a much faster rate than the larger projects.

Insurance

My insurance does not cover loss of your firearms or parts due to theft, flood, or other act of nature, war, OR ANY OTHER REASON. Most insurance companies that insure firearms will cover the items while they are away at a gunsmith. Check to make sure YOUR insurance (NRA, Homeowners policy other) does this and that you have ample insurance coverage for the item(s) sent.
