You are responsible to determine that no laws or regulations prohibit your purchase or possession of our products including: coilguns, railguns, armatures, power supplies, components or other products and that there are no other reasons that you cannot legally purchase or possess the product.  We consider all fully assembled coilguns and railguns (hereafter referred to as Functional Electromagnetic Accelerators or “FEA”) as air rifles for the purpose of determining legality in your home location.

We may require customers who purchase certain high-risk, Alpha, or Beta prototype FEA to provide a wet signature on a PDF copy of the liability waiver. If customer fails to respond to email requests, a letter shall be posted to the customer’s shipping address via USPS first class mail with a copy of the waiver. If customer fails to provide a response via post or email, after 60 days from the original date of request, the customer’s order will be cancelled and a full refund will be issued.

PAYPAL/AUTHORIZE.NET LONG-TERM HOLD OR ACCOUNT CANCELLATION:

In the unlikely event that one or multiple customers’ funds are placed on hold by our payment processor, or for any reason disallowed to be withdrawn from our payment processor, or in the event that Arcflash Labs’ Merchant Account is closed – NO MERCHANDISE WILL SHIP TO SUCH CUSTOMER(S) UNTIL THE FUNDS FROM SUCH TRANSACTIONS ARE RELEASED. Processor holds normally last between 7-21 days, but long-term holds may last up to 6 months. In the unlikely event of a processor account cancellation, funds may not be released for up to 12 months.

In the event of a hold or cancellation, the customer(s) affected will be notified that their funds have been held by the payment processor and the estimated amount of time such funds may be locked will be provided. In such a situation, we recommend customers contact the payment processor directly, and (loudly) voice their concerns about the necessity and/or legality of such corporate practices.

In order to avoid the risk of payment processor tomfoolery, we recommend customers pay for large or unusual orders in Bitcoin.

Arcflash Labs, Inc. processes received orders on a daily basis during our normal work week of Monday – Friday. We observe weekends and national holidays. The timing of your order will affect when it will ship. Processing times for IN-STOCK FEA are normally 5-7 days.

Orders are shipped within the contiguous U.S. via USPS or UPS Ground Services.

These processing times apply to orders that DO NOT include custom FEA, pre-orders or backorders. For orders containing custom FEA, pre-orders or backorders, shipping processing will begin when the order is ready to ship.

Orders shipped via UPS typically take from 2-7 business days to arrive from the time the package leaves our facility.

Orders placed through Authorize.net may require 1-2 extra business days to process due to payout delays.
