KNOWAMMO.COM SUBSCRIBER TERMS OF USE
General Terms and Conditions
Please read these KnowAmmo.com Subscriber Terms of Use and the hyperlinked policies referred to herein (collectively the "Terms of Use") carefully before using the KNOWx, LLC (“KnowAmmo.com”) website and subdomains (collectively, the “KnowAmmo.com Site”), and other services offered by KnowAmmo.com. This document contains very important information regarding your rights and obligations, as well as conditions, limitations, and exclusions that might apply to you. Please read it carefully.
KnowAmmo.com does NOT sell ammunition. However, KnowAmmo.com makes it easy for sport and competitive shooters to find ammunition for their firearms (most calibers for handguns and center-fire rifles) at local retail stores
These Terms of Use require the use of arbitration on an individual basis to resolve disputes, rather than jury trials or class actions.
These Terms of Use apply to all Subscribers of the KnowAmmo.com Site, including without limitation Subscribers, Dealers (as defined below), contributors of content, information and other materials or services on the site (each a “Subscriber” and, collectively “Subscribers”). By acknowledging your assent to these Terms of Use or by submitting InStockAmmo Reports submitting information to the KnowAmmo.com Site or becoming a “Subscriber” to the KnowAmmo.com Site, or by accessing “KnowAmmo Reports” to obtain information from the KnowAmmo.com Site, you affirm that you are of legal age to enter into this agreement and you accept and are legally bound by these Terms of Use.
You may not use the KnowAmmo.com Site if you (a) do not agree to and comply with these Terms of Use, or (b) are prohibited from accessing or using the KnowAmmo.com Site or any of the KnowAmmo.com Site’s services by applicable Law (as defined below).
We reserve the right to modify or terminate these Terms of Use, or modify the services we provide, at any time.
KnowAmmo.com Subscription for Use of Services. KnowAmmo.com has developed and operates a crowd-sourced platform serving as an information exchange providing Subscribers with simple tools and convenient notifications to find “local” (as defined below) retail stores (in the United States of America, but excluding U.S. territories and foreign countries) from which Subscribers may buy desired ammunition. The term “local” indicates a retail store within 15 miles of a Subscriber’s “Primary Location” entered by the Subscriber at the time of subscription to the KnowAmmo.com Site. The term “Primary Location” refers to a fixed address entered by a Subscriber at the time of subscription from which a 15 -mile radius is calculated.
The principal Service provided by the KnowAmmo.com Site is providing a timely and documented NOTICE to Subscribers of the availability (at time of submission) of desired ammunitions at a local retail store. This notice is referenced herein as a “KnowAmmo Notice” or “KAN.” KANs are based on information obtained by Subscribers and submitted to KnowAmmo.com. Subscribers to KnowAmmo.com are able and encouraged to prepare and submit a detailed and thorough “InStockAmmo Report” (also called an ISA Report) at a retail store in which they find in-stock ammunition (with images of the ammo shelves) via the KnowAmmo.com Site.
When an InStockAmmo Report is submitted identifying a retail store with currently available ammunition meeting the Subscriber’s desired calibers that is also within 15 miles of the Subscriber’s Primary Location, the KnowAmmo.com Site will send message via the KnowAmmo.com Site to the Subscriber. As other Subscribers visit the store to find their ammunition, they should also prepare and submit an Updated ISA Report on remaining ammunition in stock at that store.
Individuals wishing to receive KAN notifications of local in-stock ammunition may subscribe to the KnowAmmo.com Site under one of several subscription plans for a modest fee.
How Are KANs Generated? Since KnowAmmo.com is a “crowd-sourced” site, it depends on thorough and accurate information provided by KnowAmmo subscribers. When a Subscriber locates in-stock ammunition at a retail store, the Subscriber prepares and submits an “InStockAmmo Report” (also referenced herein as an ‘ISA Report’) to the KnowAmmo.com Site. The InStockAmmo Report contains over 30 calibers with checkboxes and accepts up to three (3) photo images of the ammo shelves. By checking available calibers and submitting images, our Subscribers will help each other find the ammunition they need. Upon receipt of an initial ISA Report, KnowAmmo.com will generate a KnowAmmo Notice and immediately send that KAN via the KnowAmmo application to all Subscribers who meet BOTH of the following conditions:
(1) The Subscriber’s Primary Location is within a 15-mile radius from the retail store identified in a Subscriber-submitted InStockAmmo Report; AND
(2) The various ammunitions identified in the ISA Report as available for sale match AT LEAST one (and in other cases some or all) of the desired calibers identified by the Subscriber in the Subscriber’s user profile.
We encourage all of our valued Subscribers to prepare and submit InStockAmmo Reports to KnowAmmo.com when you find in-stock ammunition. Your contribution in this way will help your fellow Subscribers find the ammunition they need via KnowAmmo.com.
Payment for Services. When a Subscriber receives a KAN, the Subscriber may choose to open or ignore the KAN. If the Subscriber chooses to open the KAN, the Subscriber receives and consumes the KnowAmmo.com Services. The Services are considered DELIVERED when the Subscriber actually OPENS A KNOWAMMO NOTICE (“KAN”). How the Subscriber pays for the Services depends on the type of Subscription selected by the Subscriber.
Use-Based Subscription: Subscribers who choose a “Use-Based Subscription” agree to pay a Subscriber Fee (as defined in the terms of the selected subscription plan) for each KAN opened by the Subscriber, subject to the following conditions and limitations:
· Subscribers may open and access the information in a KAN (whether “active” or “expired” as defined below) when received or at any time thereafter. KANs are considered “active” for 48 hours after KnowAmmo.com receives the initial InStockAmmo Report. During the ensuing 48 hours, Subscribers visiting the subject retailer may prepare and submit one or more Updated ISA Reports providing updated information to the KnowAmmo.com Site regarding that retailer’s remaining inventory.
o As KANs are updated, Subscribers will not receive additional KAN notices. However, when a Subscriber opens a KAN, the information contained therein will be the most updated information available to KnowAmmo.
o After 48 hours, the KAN is considered expired and may not be updated.
o When a Subscriber opens a KAN (whether active or expired) accessing the information contained therein, the Subscriber will be deemed to have consumed a KAN and may be charged a subscription fee depending on the subscription plan selected:
o If KnowAmmo.com Site receives one or more Updated ISA Reports after generating an initial KAN and before the Subscriber opens the KAN, and the most recent updated information continues to include the availability of desired calibers, the Subscriber will be considered to have consumed one KAN and may be charged a Subscriber Fee for accessing that KAN.
o If KnowAmmo.com Site receives updated ISA Reports after generating an initial KAN and before the Subscriber opens the KAN, and the most recent updated information does NOT include the availability of at least one of Subscriber’s desired calibers, the Subscriber will be advised that recent updated ISA Reports do not include Subscriber’s desired calibers and Subscriber will NOT be charged for opening the KAN.
o If a Subscriber opens a KAN multiple times during the 48-hour period, the Subscriber may only be charged ONE Subscriber Fee for the previously opened KAN during that 48-hour period.
o If a Subscriber opens an expired KAN after the initial 48-hour period, the Subscriber may be charged an additional Subscriber Fee, depending on the subscription plan selected.
o If a Subscriber receives an additional KAN regarding a different retail store within the same 48-hour period, the Subscriber will be charged an additional Subscriber Fee. The above rules apply to all KANs received.
KANs (including Update KANs) are considered to be “expired” and may not be updated after 48 hours has elapsed from the time the initial InStockAmmo Report is submitted by a Subscriber to the KnowAmmo.com Site. However, the information in expired KANs may still be current, applicable and of value to Subscriber.
Time-Based Subscription: Subscribers who choose a “Time-Based Subscription” agree to pay a single fixed subscription fee upfront for unlimited access to KANs during a fixed number of days (“subscription period”). The subscription plan selected will designate the number of days comprising the subscription period. During the subscription period of a Time=Based Subscription, the Subscriber may access any KAN on an unlimited basis at anytime. When the fixed number of days has elapsed, the subscription period and the Subscriber’s access to KANs will terminate.
Subscriber: The term “Subscriber” as used herein means any natural person who enrolls as a “Subscriber” via the KnowAmmo.com Site by providing personal and contact information, desired calibers of ammunition sought, and a credit card to access, use and pay for the Services provided to Subscribers of the KnowAmmo.com Site. Subscribers may use the KnowAmmo.com Site to:
