Shooting Stuff Terms for Firearm Sales

Version 2023-01

 1. All firearms are sold for the full purchase price and the full purchase price is payable up front.
 1.1 Any special orders (not in stock at Shooting Stuff) require payment in full, or as agreed, before Shooting Stuff will arrange to procure said firearm.
 1.2 Should any other payment terms be agreed between the parties, Shooting Stuff may increase the advertised price appropriately (typically 5% for two payments).
 1.3 The purchase price includes one SAPS 271 license application form and one temporary authorisation (if the latter is requested at the time of purchase).

 1.3.1

Additional forms, duplicate copies or reprints, including temporary authorisations, attract an additional charge.
 2. Ownership of the firearm passes to the Purchaser with full payment of the purchase price and upon the firearm being taken into stock at Shooting Stuff. Shooting Stuff will only hand the firearm over upon presentation of a legally issued firearm license or permit and the licensee paying any outstanding storage fees.
 2.1 Shooting Stuff will not charge any storage fees while license applications are pending, for a period of up to 6 calendar months commencing on the first of the month in which the firearm was purchased.
 2.1  Shooting Stuff may levy storage fees thereafter at their prevailing rate, and as amended annually.
 3. Shooting Stuff stores all firearms at the owner’s risk in a SAPS approved safe or strong room conforming to SABS standards.
 3.1  Shooting Stuff personnel will make all reasonable attempts to ensure that firearms are safely and securely stored, and that they are maintained in a good condition.
 3.2  Please note that firearms are not insured.
 3.3  Since firearms may be stored off site, customers must advise Shooting Stuff of license approval at least 5 working days prior to collecting a firearm.
 4.  In the event that a firearm purchase is cancelled for whatever reason, Shooting Stuff undertakes to assist the owner in selling the firearm under conditions agreed between the parties at that time.
 4.1 Notwithstanding this, Shooting Stuff may refund the purchase price of normally-stocked firearms, less a 20% restocking fee (minimum R2 000). 
 4.2  Notwithstanding this, should a license application be denied for whatever reason, and a subsequent appeal also fails, Shooting Stuff may refund the purchase price of normally-stocked firearms, less a 10% restocking fee (minimum R1 000).
 4.3 The Customer must supply documentary proof that the license application has not been submitted, or that the license application has been officially cancelled, or that the license application was denied by the SAPS (e.g. the refusal letter)
 4.4 Shooting Stuff reserves the right to recover costs (such as storage fees, maintenance, etc.) against said sale before transferring ownership or possession to any other party, although the initial purchaser remains ultimately liable for such amounts.
