Terms & Conditions
These Terms & Conditions govern your use of Gunzo™ (the “Platform”), a digital marketplace for private listings of air rifles, shotguns, and related accessories in the UK.
1. Legal Compliance
By using Gunzo, you confirm that you will comply with all applicable UK firearms laws and regulations. It is your responsibility to ensure that any item listed, sold, or purchased complies with current UK law. Gunzo does not verify buyer or seller licenses and does not facilitate transactions, we only provide a platform for listings.
2. Platform Scope
Gunzo is an informational listing platform only. We do not act as an intermediary or agent for any transaction, nor do we handle or store firearms. All communications, transfers, and legal obligations remain the responsibility of the users involved.
3. Use of the Platform
You agree to use Gunzo only for lawful purposes. You must not use the platform to distribute illegal, offensive, or misleading content, nor attempt to access data that is not explicitly made available to you.
4. Account Registration
When registering, you must provide accurate and complete information. Gunzo uses secure email verification for identity and account protection. Your information is stored securely and only used to manage your account and platform-related communication.
5. Listings and Content
By submitting a listing (including text, images, or any content), you confirm you have the right to do so. You remain solely responsible for all content you upload. We reserve the right to suspend, reject, or remove any listing that appears misleading, inappropriate, or violates the platform’s intent, including attempts to miscategorise listings (e.g., firearms listed under “accessories”).
6. Category Misuse and Refund Policy
To maintain integrity and fairness, any user found intentionally misusing categories. For example, listing firearms under “accessories” to avoid standard listing fees, may have their listing removed without refund. We reserve the right to restrict accounts and withhold payments in such cases.
7. Payment & Fees
Payments for listings are processed securely through our third-party provider. We do not store your card details. Basic transaction metadata (e.g., listing title, timestamp, amount) may be stored for audit, support, or legal purposes. Listings are non-refundable once submitted unless otherwise stated.
8. Account and Data Deletion
You may request permanent deletion of your account at any time. When this happens, your account is first deactivated and marked for deletion. Most personal data and listings will be hidden immediately, but may be retained securely for up to 30 days before full removal to allow for recovery, legal compliance, or abuse prevention.
For safety and legal reasons, messages between buyers and sellers are only permanently deleted if both users involved have deleted their accounts. This ensures proper auditability in cases of fraud, misuse, or law enforcement inquiries.
9. Platform Security
Gunzo is hosted on secure infrastructure and encrypted using HTTPS. While we take extensive measures to secure your data, no online platform is entirely risk-free. You use the service at your own discretion.
10. Beta Disclaimer
Gunzo is currently in public beta. You may encounter occasional bugs or changes to functionality. Data and features may change without notice. By using the service during this phase, you acknowledge and accept these limitations.
11. Intellectual Property
All branding, code, layouts, and design assets are the intellectual property of Gunzo™. You may not reproduce, modify, or distribute any part of the platform without written permission.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Gunzo shall not be liable for any indirect or consequential loss, including loss of revenue, missed opportunities, or issues resulting from listing errors or platform downtime.
13. External Links
The platform may link to third-party sites. We do not control or endorse these sites, and accept no responsibility for their content or use.
14. Privacy & Cookies
Use of the platform is subject to our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy, which explains our use of essential and optional cookies.
15. Updates to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated clearly. Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of the latest terms.
16. Ethical Donation Commitment
As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and conservation, Gunzo donates 2% of all platform revenue, split equally between:
- 1% contributed automatically via Stripe Climate to fund permanent carbon removal projects.
- 1% reserved for annual donations to UK-based shooting conservation charities (e.g. BASC or similar), to be reviewed and issued every January.
Gunzo will publish annual summaries of these contributions for transparency. This donation pledge is made voluntarily and does not affect customer fees or pricing. Donations may be reviewed periodically in accordance with our business operations and applicable UK charity law.
