 (b) $100 (if no amount was paid).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations; in that case, the limitations apply to the greatest extent permitted by law.

22. COMPREHENSIVE LIABILITY WAIVER, RELEASE, AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, you hereby (a) waive and release, (b) agree not to sue (covenant not to sue), and (c) forever discharge the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, lawsuits, damages, losses, costs, liabilities, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any kind or nature, whether known or unknown, arising out of or related to:
  • your enrollment, access, purchase, or use of the Course/Services;
  • your reliance on Course Content or Third-Party Materials;
  • your application or attempted application of Course Content;
  • any firearms incident, injury, death, or property damage connected to your conduct or decisions;
  • any alleged errors, omissions, or outdated information;
  • any alleged failure to update Course Content;
  • claims brought by minors or third parties related to your firearms ownership or actions;
  • claims based on negligence or other legal theories, except to the extent prohibited from waiver under applicable law (e.g., certain intentional misconduct where non-waivable).

This release and covenant not to sue applies to any claim based on any legal theory, including negligence, premises liability, product liability, failure to warn, negligent misrepresentation, and statutory/common-law theories, except to the extent a claim cannot be waived as a matter of applicable law.

You acknowledge this release allocates risk and the Course/Services would not be offered on the same terms without these limitations.

22.1 Waiver of Unknown Claims (Including California Civil Code § 1542)

You understand and agree that you may discover facts different from or in addition to those you now know or believe to be true regarding the matters released. Nevertheless, you intend to fully, finally, and forever release all such matters to the maximum extent permitted by law.
 If you are a California resident, you expressly waive California Civil Code § 1542, which states:

 “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

22.2 Waiver of Jury Trial

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you waive any right to a jury trial for disputes not subject to arbitration.

23. INDEMNIFICATION (DEFEND + HOLD HARMLESS)

To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Released Parties from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, investigations, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, settlements, judgments, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert fees) arising out of or related to:
  • your breach of these Terms;
  • your violation of any law or third-party right;
  • your ownership, possession, carrying, storage, handling, transportation, or use of firearms;
  • your reliance on Course Content or Third-Party Materials;
  • any injury, death, or property damage involving you or anyone under your supervision;
  • claims brought by minors, family members, household members, guests, or third parties related to your firearms or conduct;
  • any User Content you submit (if enabled).

23.1 Defense and Control

The Released Parties may require you to assume the defense of any covered claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Released Parties. The Released Parties may participate in the defense at their own expense. You agree not to settle any claim in a manner that imposes any admission of fault or obligation on any Released Party without the Released Parties’ prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld).

23.2 Limitations

This indemnity does not apply to the extent a claim is finally determined by a court (or arbitrator) to have resulted from a Released Party’s intentional misconduct or other conduct that cannot be indemnified under applicable law.
This obligation survives termination for as long as permitted under applicable law.

24. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER

24.1 Informal Resolution First (Notice of Dispute)

Before initiating arbitration or litigation, you must send written notice describing the dispute and requested relief and allow 30 days for informal resolution.

24.2 Agreement to Arbitrate; FAA

Except as set forth below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to the Course/Services or these Terms will be resolved by binding individual arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement.

24.3 Delegation

The arbitrator (not any court) will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable.

24.4 Administrator and Rules

Arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by these Terms.

24.5 Location / Remote Hearings

Arbitration may be conducted by video, telephone, or written submissions unless an in-person hearing is required by the arbitrator. If in-person, the hearing will take place in Utah County, Utah, unless the arbitrator determines another location is required by applicable consumer law.

24.6 Fees and Costs (Consumer-Friendly)

If you are a consumer, you will be responsible only for the consumer filing fee required by AAA’s consumer rules (or such lower amount as AAA may require). We will pay all remaining AAA administrative fees and arbitrator compensation to the maximum extent permitted by AAA rules and applicable law. Nothing in this section limits any non-waivable right you may have to seek fee waivers or cost-shifting under applicable law.

24.7 Class / Collective / Representative Action Waiver

You and the Company agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity and not as a class, collective, representative, or private attorney general action. No class arbitration.

If a court determines the class action waiver is unenforceable, then the arbitration provision (but not the remainder of these Terms) may be deemed void as required by law.


24.8 Exceptions

Either party may:
  • bring an individual claim in small claims court if eligible;
  • seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property infringement or misuse;
  • report violations of law to authorities.

24.9 Arbitration Opt-Out (30 Days)

You may opt out of this arbitration agreement within 30 days of purchase by sending written notice to the Company at the Legal Notices address in Section 28. The notice must state you opt out of arbitration and include your name, email, purchase date, and order/transaction details reasonably sufficient to identify your purchase. If you opt out, disputes will be resolved in court subject to Section 25.

25. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE

These Terms are governed by:
  • federal law for matters of federal jurisdiction (including the FAA and federal firearms/IP laws), and
  • Utah law for all other matters, without regard to conflict of laws principles.

For disputes not subject to arbitration, venue will be in the state or federal courts located in Utah, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue there, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

26. CHANGES TO THE SERVICES AND THESE TERMS

We may modify the Services or these Terms at any time. If we make material changes, we will update the Effective Date and/or provide notice within the Services. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance.

27. MISCELLANEOUS

27.1 Severability

If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force.

27.2 No Waiver

Failure to enforce any right is not a waiver.

27.3 Assignment

You may not assign these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets.

27.4 Entire Agreement

These Terms (and any policies expressly incorporated, including the Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Course/Services.

27.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries

Except that the Online Gun Training Parties/Released Parties are intended beneficiaries of the release/waiver/indemnity provisions, nothing in these Terms confers rights upon any third party.
