Terms of Service

By using boltandvault.com you agree to these terms. The site is operated by Iron Mako Media.

General information, not advice

Bolt & Vault publishes general information about gun safes, home safes, safe ratings and safe storage. It is not legal advice, security-engineering advice or a guarantee that any product will stop a specific burglary, fire or unauthorized person. Laws on firearm storage differ by state and change; check your state's official sources or an attorney. Follow the manufacturer's installation and operating instructions for any product you buy, including its anchoring instructions.

Accuracy and changes

We work hard to keep ratings, specifications and model numbers accurate, and every figure links to its source. Manufacturers update models, listings and specs often, though, and we can make mistakes. Check the retailer or maker before you buy. If you spot an error, tell us and we'll correct it.

Prices, availability and purchases

Prices and availability are set by the retailer and change often, which is why we don't print them. When you click a buy button you leave our site; any purchase is between you and that retailer, under its terms, shipping and return policies. We don't sell products and can't help with orders.

Some links on this site are affiliate links, including links through Amazon Associates. We may earn a commission on qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. See the affiliate disclosure for details.

Use of our content

The text, rankings, rubric and page designs on this site are owned by Iron Mako Media unless otherwise noted. You're welcome to link to any page and to quote short passages with attribution. Please don't republish whole pages or scrape the site. Stock photographs are used under their license and remain the property of their photographers.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided “as is.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, Iron Mako Media is not liable for any loss or injury arising from your use of the site or of any product discussed on it. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms and will change the date at the top of this page when we do. Questions go to mike@blackironathletics.com. See also the privacy policy.
