Bidder acknowledges and agrees that gross omissions regarding the functionality or authenticity of Items, failures to cite major missing parts and/or restrictions with regard to usage or other inaccuracies may occur. ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES WILL BE OFFERED, BIDDER is participating in the auction, bidding on and/or purchasing the Item(s) at its own risk.

2. If "Denied" by the background check, you will not be able to take possession of the firearm and it will be consigned to the next available firearm auction. Bidders who bid on and win Items own the Items and are fully responsible for payment as set forth in these Terms, regardless of whether the FBI/ATF approves of Bidder taking physical possession of the Items. Richmond will not cancel the sale due to a "Denied" background check for any reason.
Firearm Shipping:
1. All firearms that require shipping are legally required to be shipped directly to a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms & Explosives licensed FFL dealer within your state of residence for transfer and pickup. For states that allow shipment of Curio & Relic firearms to the Curio & Relic license holder, Richmond reserves the right to ship those firearms to the address listed on Curio & Relic license.

If this information is not included on the invoice or needs to be updated/changed, Purchaser must contact a licensed dealer and submit their FFL to firearms@richmondauctions.com with their name and paid invoice number notated in the subject field.
5. Richmond can accommodate international purchases but does not offer in-house international shipping on firearms, ammunition or similar firearm related parts or items. Richmond Auctions can provide the Purchaser with an Exporter, who will assist the Purchaser in obtaining the firearm. The Purchaser is responsible for obtaining all documentation required for export.
6. Some states, including California, New York, Illinois, New Jersey & Connecticut, require an FFL or FOID card with valid identification to ship. It is your responsibility to check your state and local laws before bidding. Do not bid on these items if you are unable to purchase, own or possess a firearm according to your residency laws.

It is your responsibility to check your state and local laws before bidding. Do not bid on these items if you are unable to purchase, own or possess a firearm according to your residency laws.
Additional Terms:
1. Long guns will only be sold to persons 18 years of age, or older. Handguns will only be sold to those persons 21 years of age, or older. Dealers are bound by these minimum age requirements.
2. All firearms sold are "collectible" items, therefore Richmond does not test the safety or warrant functionality of these firearms. All firearm purchases should be examined by a certified gunsmith prior to shooting.
3. Richmond reserves the right to deny the sale of a firearm to any Bidder.
4. Richmond does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omission in marking or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such materials include, but are not limited to, ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros' horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal, and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. Laws include, but are not limited to, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA). States currently restricting trade of protected species include, but are not limited to, California, New York, and New Jersey.
5. Bidders are on notice that several countries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of protected materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the countries of exportation and importation as well. Bidders intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on goods containing material from protected species. Regulations may vary as the U.S. generally prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old, subject to certain exceptions.
6. It shall be the Bidder's sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All Bidders agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is Bidder?s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. Richmond is not able to assist Bidder in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and there is no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses, or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said goods or the delay in payment of purchased items in accordance with these Terms.
