Part 2 — Body Armor Purchase & Use Disclaimer

The following terms apply specifically to the purchase and use of body armor, ballistic plates, and related protective equipment sold by Invictus Templar, and are in addition to — not in place of — the General Terms above.

10. Legality to Own — Purchaser Eligibility

By purchasing body armor from Invictus Templar, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 18 years of age;
• You have not been convicted of a felony, and are not otherwise legally barred from purchasing, owning, or possessing body armor under 18 U.S.C. § 931 or any other applicable federal, state, or local law;
• Your purchase and possession of body armor is lawful in the state and locality where you reside and where the product will be used;
• You are not acquiring the product for any unlawful purpose, including to facilitate the commission of a crime; and
• The product is for your own personal, lawful use, and not for unauthorized resale or transfer to any person who is prohibited from possessing body armor.

It is solely your responsibility to confirm your eligibility under the laws of your jurisdiction prior to purchase. Invictus Templar does not independently verify individual eligibility and reserves the right to refuse, cancel, or delay any order at its sole discretion.

11. State Shipping Restrictions

Due to state-level regulations, we do not ship body armor to the following states:

• New York
• Connecticut

Orders placed for delivery to a restricted state will be canceled.

12. Assumption of Risk — Body Armor Is Not Bulletproof

Body armor is bullet-resistant, not bulletproof. It is designed only to reduce the risk of injury from the specific ballistic and/or threat levels stated in the applicable product description and labeling. No body armor can guarantee protection against all threats, calibers, angles, or circumstances, and serious injury or death may occur even when armor is worn and used correctly.

To retain any protection or warranty, armor must be:

• Worn correctly and positioned as instructed;
• Used only as a defensive garment; and
• Used only for its intended purpose.

Misuse, improper fit, alteration, modification, or use outside the product's intended purpose voids all warranties and protections and is undertaken entirely at your own risk.

Do not test body armor by wearing it and shooting it, or by having anyone else shoot it while worn. This practice is extremely dangerous, is not endorsed or supported by Invictus Templar in any way, and may itself violate state or local law. Any injury or death resulting from such testing is solely the responsibility of the individuals involved.

13. Export Control & ITAR/EAR Compliance

Body armor and related protective equipment sold by Invictus Templar may be subject to U.S. export control laws, potentially including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR, 22 C.F.R. Parts 120–130) and/or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR, 15 C.F.R. Parts 730–774), depending on the specific product and its classification. By purchasing, you certify that:

• You are a U.S. person purchasing for use within the United States; and
• You will not export, re-export, transfer, resell, or otherwise provide this product to any foreign person or destination outside the United States without first obtaining any required U.S. government authorization.

We do not accept international orders for body armor, including orders shipping to APO/FPO/DPO addresses. Attempting to export a controlled item without the required government authorization may result in civil penalties and criminal prosecution under federal law.

14. Hold Harmless & Indemnification

By purchasing, receiving, or using any body armor product from Invictus Templar, you knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks associated with its use, and you agree to release, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Invictus Templar LLC and its owners, employees, contractors, and affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, injuries, judgments, or death, and any related attorneys' fees and costs, however caused, arising out of or related to (a) your purchase, use, or misuse of any body armor product, (b) your breach of any representation or warranty in these Terms, or (c) your violation of any applicable law regarding the purchase, possession, or use of body armor, to the fullest extent permitted by law. This indemnification obligation does not apply to the extent a claim arises from Invictus Templar's own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

15. Warranty Limitation

Any warranty offered on body armor products is valid only when the armor is used as intended, worn properly, and not altered, modified, or misused. Damage resulting from improper use, misuse, unauthorized modification, or intentional testing (including live-fire testing) is not covered under warranty.

16. Limitation of Liability — Armor Products

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Invictus Templar's total liability for any claim arising from the purchase or use of a body armor product — whether in contract, tort, or otherwise — is limited to the amount you actually paid for that product. Invictus Templar is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages of any kind. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or bodily injury directly caused by our own acts.

17. Returns & Refunds — Armor Products

Due to the safety-critical nature of ballistic protective equipment, the following return policy applies in place of our standard Return & Refund Policy:

• Ceramic armor: All ceramic armor sales are final and non-returnable.
• Polyethylene (PE) armor containing ceramic: Hybrid PE/ceramic armor is treated as ceramic armor for return purposes — all sales are final and non-returnable.
• Steel and pure polyethylene (PE) armor: Returns are accepted within 7 days of delivery only. Items must be unused, unworn, and in original condition and packaging. Any armor showing signs of wear, use, impact, or modification is not eligible for return. Approved returns are subject to a 5% restocking fee, deducted from your refund.

18. Acknowledgment

By purchasing body armor from Invictus Templar, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by all terms outlined in this Terms of Service, including the Body Armor Purchase & Use Disclaimer above.

Part 3 — General Legal Terms

19. Limitation of Liability — General

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Invictus Templar LLC will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this website or any product purchased through it, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation does not apply to liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, or death or bodily injury directly caused by our own acts.

20. Force Majeure

Invictus Templar is not liable for any failure or delay in performance caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, labor disputes, epidemics, government action, carrier delays, or utility or system outages.

21. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Choice of Forum

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 22 (Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration) below, you agree that any dispute not subject to arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Tennessee, and you waive any objection to jurisdiction or venue in those courts.

22. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration; Class Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully — it affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court.

Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, you and Invictus Templar agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms, your purchase, or your use of our products or website will be resolved exclusively through binding individual arbitration, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this provision.

Invictus Templar will pay the AAA filing and administrative fees for consumer arbitrations, consistent with the AAA's Consumer Arbitration Rules.

Class Action Waiver: All claims must be brought in an individual capacity, not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, or representative proceeding. Neither you nor Invictus Templar may participate in a class action, and the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims.

You may instead choose to pursue a qualifying claim in small claims court, so long as it remains in that court and is brought on an individual basis.

23. Limitation on Time to File Claims

Any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or your purchase must be filed within one (1) year after the claim arose, or it is permanently barred.

24. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be severed, and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver in Section 22 is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim (and only that claim) will proceed in court rather than arbitration, and the remainder of Section 22 will still apply.

25. No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of that right or provision.

26. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with our Return & Refund Policy, Privacy Policy, Messaging Terms, and Messaging Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Invictus Templar LLC regarding your use of this website and your purchases.

27. Notices

Notices to you may be given by email or by posting on this website. Notices to Invictus Templar LLC should be sent to Support@InvictusTemplar.com.
