Terms of Service

Welcome to https://firstshielddefense.com/ (this “Site”), a website operated by First Shield Defense. The Site provides visitors and customers with access to content about our businesses and the products and services we offer. These terms and conditions of use (these “Terms of Use”) govern your general access to, and use of this Site. If you make a purchase via the Site, the products and services you buy will be governed by separate legal terms and conditions as described in greater detail below.

You consent to and agree with these Terms of Use by virtue of accessing and using the Site. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change these Terms of Use from time to time. Please check the Site periodically for such changes. By continuing to access and use this Site following the posting of changes, you accept and agree to the revised version. This Terms of Use is a legal document, so clarity is important. We’ll use this section to let you know about some words that have special meanings whenever you see them here. The words “you” and “your” refer to each individual accessing this Site whether or not under an Account. The words “First Shield Defense”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to First Shield Defense, acting on behalf of itself and, where applicable, its affiliates and third-party licensors. You also will notice that we capitalize certain additional words in these Terms of Use even though grammatical rules do not require them. We do this because, in the context of these Terms of Use, such capitalized words have specific meanings which can be found where they are first used, as indicated by bold text.

1. Rights and Conditions.

You may access and view the audio and visual information, text, graphics, forms, documents, cartography, images, data, and materials made available on this Site (the “Content”) on your computer, mobile device, or other Internet-compatible devices solely in connection with your personal, non-commercial use. You may also make single copies or print-outs of the Content in connection with your permitted use. You may not make use of this Site including any Content for any commercial purpose unless you have received our express written prior permission in advance. You acknowledge that any use of this Site or Content, except as otherwise permitted herein, is a breach of these Terms of Use, and may put you in violation of Applicable Laws. We will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these Terms of Use. As explained in the initial paragraph above, we do not consider our products and services to be part of the Content governed by these Terms of Use. Products and services are, as indicated, governed by separate legal terms.

2. Applicable Laws.

We control and operate the Site from within the United States of America (the “USA”). The Site is directed at visitors from the USA, 18 years of age and over. The English language version of these Terms of Use is the controlling version regardless of any translation you may attempt. We do not represent that this Site or its Content is appropriate or lawful for use in other locations outside of the USA or that our operation (including our processing and handling of Submitted Materials) will comply with all local laws. Users who choose to access this Site from outside the USA or provide Submitted Materials as non-USA citizens, do so of their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with all applicable local, state, national and international laws and treaties (“Applicable Laws”). These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Idaho and the U.S. federal laws enforced within, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. All proceedings relating to us, the Site, or these Terms of Use shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Idaho and you hereby irrevocably consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of such courts.

3. Content.

Site Content will have a variety of origins, including information generated and provided by us and third parties. We do not provide any warranty that the Content is or will be:

– accurate or complete;

– current (or that it will be updated);

– error-free (either technically or with respect to typographical errors);

– free from interruptions, computer viruses, or other harmful components.

You may make use of the Content under the rights set forth in these Terms of Use but under no circumstances will we be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance on Content. It is, therefore, your responsibility to evaluate the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, opinion, advice, or other elements of the Content.

4. Social Media.

This section applies to everyone who interacts with our social media presence. You are therefore viewing this page because you either linked from the social media features on this Site (such as blogs and comments sections) (“Internal Social Media Features”) or from comment sections, feeds, and other elements of social media presence viewable on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Google+, LinkedIn or any of the many other available external third-party social media platforms we utilize (“External Social Media Presence”). Social media platforms are places of public information exchange, and you should have no expectation of privacy. Specifically, paragraph 7 hereof does not apply to our External Social Media Presence. The sites and platforms that host our External Social Media Presence are not controlled by us and therefore their own, and not our privacy policies and terms of use will apply. The comments and opinions expressed by users on social media are theirs alone and do not reflect the opinions of the First Shield Defense Parties. Comments that some would consider inappropriate or offensive may appear on our Internal Social Media Features and on our External Social Media Presence and may remain there until they have been identified by us or called to our attention and we are able to work through the necessary procedures and technical processes to have them removed. If you see an offensive or inappropriate post or comment on our External Social Media Presence, you should report it to the operator of the applicable site or platform using the procedures they have established for that purpose. If you see such a post on Internal Social Media Features it should be reported directly to us via the contact information below.
