(a) Firearms dealers and each of their authorized
				associates, authorized account associates, or salespersons, and ammunition vendors
				and each of their authorized associates, authorized account associates, or
				salespersons, who will use DES on behalf of the firearms dealer or ammunition vendor
				must agree to the following "Terms of Use:"
(1)
				NON-LIABILITY
The Department of Justice (Department) is not responsible for and
				  will not have liability for hardware, software, information, or other items or any
				  services provided by any persons other than the Department. Except as may be
				  required by law, in no event shall either party be liable to the other or any third
				  party, under any theory of liability, including, but not limited to, any contract or
				  tort claim for any cause whatsoever, for any indirect, incidental, special or
				  consequential damages, including loss of revenue or profits, even if aware of the
				  possibility thereof.
(2)
				AUTHORIZATION
I am a licensed firearms dealer Certificate of Eligibility (COE)
				  Holder, authorized associate, authorized account associate, or salesperson of the
				  firearms dealer, or an ammunition vendor, authorized ammunition vendor associate,
				  authorized ammunition vendor account associate, or ammunition vendor salesperson,
				  and am authorized to use DES on behalf of the firearms dealer or ammunition
				  vendor.
(3) ACCESS
The acquisition and maintenance of the device and software used to
				  access the internet and interface with DES shall be the responsibility of each
				  firearms dealer or ammunition vendor. Each authorized associate, authorized account
				  associate, or salesperson shall request and use their own DES account after the
				  Dealer COE Holder or ammunition vendor has granted authorization. The DES enables
				  the Dealer COE Holder or ammunition vendor to authorize the functions each user is
				  able to access.
(4)
				CONFIDENTIALITY AND UNAUTHORIZED USE
It is the responsibility of the user and the firearms dealer or
				  ammunition vendor to protect the confidentiality of the individual password selected
				  by each user to access DES.
If a Dealer COE Holder, authorized associate, authorized account
				  associate, salesperson, ammunition vendor, authorized ammunition vendor associate,
				  authorized ammunition vendor account associate or ammunition vendor salesperson
				  becomes aware that an unauthorized user has obtained access to DES, they must notify
				  the Customer Support Center immediately. Contact information is available upon
				  logging into the DES account. Notwithstanding such notification, the Department
				  shall not be liable for transaction charges fraudulently incurred on a DES account.
				  It is the responsibility of the dealer or ammunition vendor to pay these transaction
				  charges.
(5) TRANSACTIONS
				INVOLVING MULTIPLE FIREARMS (Firearms Dealers Only)
A transaction means a single sale, transfer, or loan of any number
				  of firearms to one person at the same time. It is the responsibility of the user to
				  indicate that a transaction consists of more than one firearm while entering Dealer
				  Record of Sale (DROS) information for submission to the Department. If the user does
				  not indicate that the transaction consists of more than one firearm prior to
				  submission, another DROS fee will be required for the additional firearms.
Upon submission of a DROS, the fee will be charged to the dealer's
				  account. The Department will not provide refunds after submission and acceptance of
				  a DROS.
(6) TRUE AND ACCURATE
				INFORMATION
All of the information I submit to the Department through DES
				  shall be true, accurate, and complete to the best of my
				  knowledge.
