Terms and Conditions

 Guardian Survival Gear, Inc. provides its customers with resources to resell and distribute our products easily and effectively. However we do have specific guidelines that must be followed. Please review these guidelines below. Guardian Survival Gear, Inc. reserves the right to suspend or cancel a customer’s access to any or all services provided by Guardian Survival Gear, Inc. These suspensions or cancellations will come when we feel a violation has be made, or if we decide that the account has been inappropriately used. Guardian Survival Gear, Inc. reserves the right to also limit quantities and to correct any typographical or pricing errors.

Product Resources

Guardian Survival Gear, Inc. allows its customers to use its product images, descriptions, and price lists in a manner deemed acceptable by Guardian Survival Gear, Inc. Acceptable use includes downloading for viewing and editing, use on ones website or other online shopping system such as eBay™, yahoo™, etc. It is also acceptable for reproduction of our media/resources in a printed manner such as advertisements, catalogs, brochures, or flyers. If a user purchases similar products from another source, they will not be allowed to use product images, descriptions, etc. for any purpose.

Methods of Payment

Guardian Survival Gear, Inc. requires payment to be made by one of the following methods:

Credit Card - All major U.S. Credit Cards may be used to place an order.  Using a credit card allows us to submit an order right after payment clears and is the fastest way to submit an order.  If you decide to place an order with a credit card that is over $500, we will automatically add a 2% convenience fee.  The alternative to paying this fee is by paying with a check (details below).

Check - This must be made on a U.S. bank in U.S. dollars. Goods will not be shipped until the check is cleared through the company bank. Any bad checks will result in a $15 “bounced check” fee, and the buyer must purchase in a different method listed below.

-Money Order. Checks and money orders should be made to: Guardian Survival Gear.

-Visa or MasterCard

All distributors can apply for credit after 6 months of regular business dealings. This helps us build a personal business relationship prior to terms agreements.

When terms are made, payment must be received within 20 days after receipt of goods (net 20).

Cancelled Orders

All cancelled orders will be subject to a 2.5% charge for the credit card transaction fee which we incur.

Production Lead Times

For large orders of survival kits we may require a lead time. We also may require a lead time for large product orders as well.

The above figures represent estimates. If something occurs out of our control which delays the shipment, Guardian Survival Gear, Inc. will not be held responsible. Shipping times vary depending on the destination of the products.

Shipment Charges and Drop-Shipping Information

Shipments are sent out UPS from our location in Ogden, UT 84401. You or your customer will be charged the same freight we are charged.
For all orders under $10, there is a small order handling fee of $3 added to the total. For orders under $20, a small order handling fee of $2 will be added.

We ask that you pay close attention to the shipping information as you submit each order.  UPS charges a $10 correction fee if they have to adjust anything on the shipping label (ie - Street Number, Zip Code, etc.).  If this fee is incurred by Guardian Survival Gear, we will pass  it onto you unless the error was made on our part. 

We ship all orders (containing less than 10 Survival Kits) out within 2-5 business days. We often are able to make same day shipments for no additional charge. Sometimes shortages may occur with products. If there are circumstances where we do not have an item to fulfill an order, we will notify the customer or distributor by the next business day. We will either ship the products we do have and then make a second shipment for the missing items as soon as we receive them, or we will wait to ship the entire order together to lower the shipping charges. Please note that it is rare that this will occur but uncontrollable circumstances may cause shortages.

 If for some reason we don't have the exact specific item on our website or in a survival kit, we will use a suitable replacement that meets the specifications described in the original product description. 

All risk of loss shall pass to Buyer upon delivery to carrier (normally UPS). Buyer shall be responsible for obtaining insurance if desired.

Shipments going to Canada will have an additional customs charge not handled by Guardian Survival Gear. It will be the distributor or customer’s responsibility to find out the customs charges for shipments going out of the USA.

Be aware that any order going to Canada, Alaska, or Hawaii will have an additional charge of $15 - $35 to cover extra shipping fees that our website is not able to calculate.  Your order(s) will not be submitted to the warehouse until the extra shipping costs have been paid for.

Submitting Large Orders

For any order that is not placed on our website (orders weighing over 150 lbs), we ask that the order be submitted via Purchase Order (PO).  When a PO is required, we ask that it be emailed to us at orders@gsgemail.com or faxed to 877-724-7548.  All PO’s must include the following:  Shipping Address, Item Numbers (SKU), Item Names, Quantity of each item, Cost per Piece, & Shipping Cost (typically calculated before submitting the PO). 

Should any changes need to be made to a PO that has already been submitted, you will have to cancel the PO and receive confirmation of cancellation before the corrected PO is submitted.  If this is not the case and any incorrect items have been shipped, the purchasing party assumes all financial responsibilities to correct the order.

Minimum Advertised Price 

For most of the products we offer, we require all of our resellers to adhere to our minimum advertised price guidelines. This is the lowest you are allowed to advertise any of our products for on your website. This price can be found in the Guardian Product Chart that is always readily available in the downloads section of our website. 

Tax Exemption

State tax will be charged in California at the going rate of 8.75%. If an order is placed out of state, the Buyer will be responsible to pay Use Tax according to the state law where the Buyer resides. All distributors will be tax exempt upon faxing a tax exemption paper (seller’s permit) to 1-877-724-7548.
