9. Contract formation
When you click “Submit Order” to submit your order online, post or telephone us with details of your order, you are putting forward an offer to take out a subscription which if accepted by us, will result in a binding contract. If placing your order online your credit/debit card will be debited when you click “Submit Order”.

A legally binding contract is formed on the date we send you written confirmation of your order. You will receive this written confirmation within 14 days of submitting your order in the form of an acknowledgement letter. We will not be responsible if you fail to receive the written confirmation because you have supplied us with an incorrect postal address. We reserve the right not to accept or process your order for any reason. All orders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by your payment card issuer.

In the event of obvious inaccuracies in prices, except that we may fulfil your order at the correct price;
if we are unable to obtain payment authorisation from the issuer of your payment card.

Prices displayed on the subscriptions section of the website will prevail at all times in relation to orders placed online. Prices quoted on screen include delivery charges and taxes (where applicable).
You can either make a one-off payment for a subscription of a fixed term, or make ongoing direct debit or continuous credit card payments for any other subscription term (subject to availability).
If you make ongoing payments we reserve the right to increase our prices at any time after the first year of your subscription has elapsed and will notify you in writing with 10 days’ notice of any such price increase. Although we try to ensure that all prices are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of your order, we will inform you as soon as possible. You will have the option of reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat the order as cancelled. We will refund you in full if you cancel the order on the basis of the price and have already paid.

Terms and Conditions of website use

Access to and use of ‘gunmart.net / gunmart.co.uk’ both within the UK and internationally is provided by David Hall Publishing Ltd on the following terms:

By using gunmart.net / gunmart.co.uk you agree to be bound by these terms, which shall take effect immediately on your first use of gunmart.net/gunmart.co.uk. If you do not agree to be bound by all of the following terms please do not access, use and/or contribute to gunmart.net/gunmart.co.uk.

All users of gunmart.net / gunmart.co.uk are required to comply with the appropriate legal legislation relating to the use, sale and/or ownership of shotguns, firearms, airguns and any other prohibited weapons which applies in their country of domicile.

In the United Kingdom the following is noted, however, this is not meant to be complete or a thorough review of the legislation, it is the user’s responsibility to obtain this and understand the implications thereof:

General Disclaimer
UK Firearms legislation (Firearms Acts1968-2024), makes it an offence for the seller, and the prospective purchaser, not to be in possession of the required certification before the transfer of any firearm is carried out.

In these Acts, the expression “firearm” means a lethal barrelled weapon of any description from which any shot, bullet or other missile can be discharged.

“Transfer” includes let on hire, give, lend and part with possession, and “transferee” and “transferor” shall be construed accordingly.

If either the vendor or purchaser of a firearm is in any doubt as to their legal responsibilities, they should consult with their local Firearms Licensing Department before undertaking any purchase or sale.

The required certification
In the case of a shotgun: If the purchaser, or the seller, is not a Registered Firearms Dealer, a valid UK Shotgun Certificate for both the purchaser and the seller. The final transfer must be ‘face to face’.

In the case of a Section 1 firearm (a sporting rifle, a multi-shot or short barrelled shotgun or an air rifle with a muzzle energy in excess of 12 ft lbs.). If the purchaser, or the seller, is not a Registered Firearms Dealer, a valid UK Firearms Certificate for both the purchaser and the seller. The final transfer must be ‘face to face’.

In the case of an airgun: If the airgun is not declared ‘Specially Dangerous’ (i.e. if the muzzle energy does not, in the case of an air pistol, exceed 6 ft lbs or, in the case of an airgun or air rifle, 12 ft lbs.), then no certification is required. In the case of a private sale both the vendor and the purchaser must be at least 18 years old. In the case of an RFD, selling by way of trade or business, the RFD must not sell to anyone less than 18 years old and the final transfer must be ‘face-to-face’.

Prohibited Weapons
Section 5. In the UK, a person commits an offence if, without the authority of the Secretary of State or the Scottish Ministers (by virtue of provision made under section 63 of the Scotland Act 1998), he has in his possession, or purchases or acquires, or manufactures, sells or transfers

  • (a) any firearm which is so designed or adapted that two or more missiles can be successively discharged without repeated pressure on the trigger;
  • (ab) any self-loading or pump-action rifled gun other than one which is chambered for .22 rim-fire cartridges;
  • (aba) any firearm which either has a barrel less than 30 centimetres in length or is less than 60 centimetres in length overall, other than an air weapon, a muzzle loading gun or a firearm designed as signalling apparatus;
  • (ac) any self-loading or pump-action smooth-bore gun which is not an air weapon or chambered for .22 rim-fire cartridges and either has a barrel less than 24 inches in length or (excluding any detachable, folding, retractable or other moveable butt-stock) is less than 40 inches in length overall;
  • (ad) any smooth-bore revolver gun other than one which is chambered for 9mm rim-fire cartridges or loaded at the muzzle end of each chamber a muzzle loading gun;

  • (af) any air rifle, air gun or air pistol which uses or is designed or adapted for use with, a self contained gas cartridge system.
  • (b) any weapon of whatever description designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid, gas or other thing.
  • (c) any firearm which is disguised as another object.
  • (d) any cartridge with a bullet designed to explode on or immediately before impact, any ammunition containing or designed or adapted to contain any such noxious thing as is mentioned above and, if capable of being used with a firearm of any description, any grenade, bomb or other like missile, or rocket or shell designed to explode as aforesaid.
  • (da) any rocket or ammunition which consists of, or incorporates, a missile designed to explode on or immediately before impact and is for military use.
  • (db) any launcher or other projecting apparatus which is designed to be, or has been, incorporated in any launcher or other projecting apparatus which is designed to be used with any rocket or ammunition.
  • (dc) any ammunition for military use which consists of, or incorporates, a missile designed so that a substance contained in the missile will ignite on or immediately before impact.
  • (dd) any ammunition for military use which consists of or incorporates a missile designed, on account of its having a jacket and hard-core, to penetrate armour plating, armour screening or body armour.
  • (de) any ammunition which incorporates a missile designed or adapted to expand on impact.
  • (df) anything which is designed to be projected as a missile from any weapon and is designed to be, or has been incorporated in, any ammunition falling within any of the preceding paragraphs or any ammunition which would fall within any of those paragraphs but for it being specified at Section 5(1)(c).

On October 1st 2007, Sections 36, 37 of the Violent Crime Reduction Act 2006 (realistic imitation firearms and imitation firearms), came into force.

Section 36 makes it an offence to: Manufacture a realistic imitation firearm. Modify an imitation firearm so it becomes a realistic imitation firearm. Bring a realistic imitation firearm in to Great Britain or cause one to be brought in to Great Britain. A realistic imitation firearm is one which, for all intents and purposes, is indistinguishable from a real firearm. (A de-activated firearm is not a realistic imitation firearm, neither is an antique imitation). An imitation firearm that is not a realistic imitation firearm may be sold, manufactured, imported, etc. if it meets certain criteria, including principal colour, shape and size.

The Act permits importation, sales, and transactions in imitation firearms manufactured in the principal colours below.

The colours are:

  • Bright red
  • Bright orange
  • Bright blue
  • Bright yellow
  • Bright green
  • Bright pink
  • Bright purple, or transparent

Any imitation firearm that has dimensions which are less than 38 mm in height and 70 mm. in length will not be regarded as being realistic.

Section 37 of the Act allows for certain exemptions from the requirements of the Act (as do certain Regulations which allow for a defence).

Certain bodies will be permitted to purchase realistic imitation firearms from sellers for specific activities, which will include:

The purposes of a museum or gallery, use at theatrical performances, and in rehearsals, use in television production, use in film production and use in the organisation and holding of historical re-enactments.

Further defences will apply for the activity of airsoft ‘skirmishing’, where the organisers are in possession of public liability insurance.

It will be an offence for a person under the age of 18 to purchase an imitation firearm and it will be an offence to sell an imitation firearm to a person under the age of 18

The possession of realistic imitation firearms and imitation firearms will not be affected by the VCR Act.

  2. All Contracts are subject to these Conditions and no variation or addition thereto shall be effective unless specifically agreed to in writing by the Publisher. Any other terms or conditions sought to be imposed by the Advertiser are expressly excluded.
  3. The issue of a Rate Card does not constitute an offer by the Publisher to contract. A Contract is made only by the Publisher’s acceptance of the Advertiser’s order as affected by the Publisher issuing an Acknowledgement of Order Form/ written confirmation.
  4. Advertisement rates are subject to revision at any time and the price prevailing at the time the Contract is made binds the Publisher only in respect of the agreed booking as confirmed by the Publisher’s Acknowledgement of Order Form.
  5. All orders are accepted subject to acceptance of copy by the Publisher, as indicated in Clause 7, and if it is intended to include in an Advertisement a competition or a special offer of merchandise, other than that normally associated with the advertised product, full details of such competitions or special offers must be submitted by the Advertiser in writing at the time the order is negotiated.
  6. It is the Advertiser’s responsibility to check the correctness of the Advertisement. The Advertiser warrants that any Advertisement submitted by it for publication shall comply with all applicable laws, legislation, regulations, codes of practice and is not an infringement of any other party’s rights. The Advertiser will indemnify the Publisher fully for all costs, expenses, damages or liability whatsoever (including legal costs and awards ordered against the Publisher) in respect of any claim made against the Publisher arising from the Advertisement or its publication or as a result of any breach or non-performance of any of the representations, warranties or other terms contained herein or implied by law.
  7. The Publisher reserves the right at any time in its absolute discretion to cancel any Contract or to omit or suspend an Advertisement (for example if it is libellous, unlawful, defamatory, pornographic, socially unacceptable, insensitive or otherwise contrary to editorial policy). Should cancellation, omission or suspension be due to the act or default of the Advertiser or his servants or agents including the unsuitability of the Advertisement as indicated above, then the Advertiser shall pay for the space reserved for the Advertisement in full not withstanding that the Advertisement has not appeared. Such cancellation, omission or suspension shall be notified to the Advertiser as soon as reasonably possible.
  8. All contents of Advertisements are subject to the Publisher’s approval. The Publisher does not undertake to review the contents of any Advertisements and any such review of and/ or approval by the Publisher will not be deemed to constitute an acceptance by the Publisher that such Advertisement is provided in accordance with these Advertising Terms and Conditions nor will it constitute a waiver of the Publisher’s rights hereunder. If the Publisher considers it necessary to modify space or alter the date or position of insertion or make any other alteration it shall notify the Advertiser of this as soon as it reasonably can.
  9. The Publisher will exercise reasonable care and skill in the handling and publishing of the Advertisement but where the Advertisement is not published in the manner specified in the Contract, whether through any failure or negligent act or omission on the part of the Publisher or any third party, the Publisher’s maximum liability to the Advertiser shall be limited (at the discretion of the Publisher) to either: (a) publishing the Advertisement (or a replacement Advertisement if provided by the Advertiser) as soon as is reasonably practicable in the period following the period during which the Advertisement was scheduled to run; or (b) refund to the Advertiser the amount of any payment made for the Advertisement concerned. The Publisher shall not be liable for any indirect, special or consequential loss or damage arising from any failure to publish an Advertisement as agreed with the Advertiser, including, but without limitation, any late or incorrect publication, any non-publication or inaccurate reproduction of the Advertisement, whether caused by the Publisher’s error or negligence or by any reason whatsoever.

Cancellation will be effective when written notice is received by the Publisher. The Publisher may cancel any Contract by the Thursday seven calendar days previous to the date on the cover of the issue in which the Advertisement was to be inserted.
  11. If the Advertiser cancels any Contract in accordance with Clause 10, except in the circumstances of cancellation as set out in Clause 8 above, he relinquishes any right to that series discount (if any) to which it was previously entitled and Advertisements will be paid for at the appropriate rate. A new invoice will be issued for any surcharges relating to Advertisements that have already been invoiced at the discounted rate. The payment date for any previous invoices remains unaffected.
  12. The Publisher shall not be bound by a stop order or cancellation or transfer of the advertisement unless it meets the requirements specified elsewhere on the rate card. Advertising specifications and any such instruction otherwise than prior to the deadline therefore shall not (even though it be followed by the Publisher) affect the Advertiser’s liability for payment for the advertisement. The Publisher may treat as a cancellation after the deadline the fact that the Advertiser is deemed unable to pay its debts within the meaning of section 123 of the Insolvency Act 1986 or is otherwise in breach of any of these conditions.
  13. In circumstances where, at the Publisher’s discretion, the Publisher arranges to supply proofs of Advertisement copy to the Advertiser, all copy must be supplied by the Advertiser to the Publisher by the last day for receiving copy as stated by the Publisher, failing this the Publisher cannot guarantee that proofs will be supplied or corrections made.

For copy supplied via electronic means, the Advertiser must adhere to the Technical Specifications issued by the Publisher. In the event that the Advertiser does not comply with the Technical Specifications, the Publisher reserves the right in its absolute discretion to reject the copy and the Advertiser will be asked to re-supply. If, due to technical, time or other reasonable constraints, the Publisher has to repair or rectify the file, the Publisher will notify the Advertiser and shall not be liable for any inaccurate reproduction of the Advertisement or any resulting costs whether direct or indirect. In the case of bound insert advertising, if the Advertiser fails to adhere to the Insert Delivery Instructions issued by the Publisher, the Publisher reserves the right in its absolute discretion to omit the Advertisement and to charge for the Advertisement in full notwithstanding that the Advertisement has not appeared.
  14. i) The copyright for all purposes in all artwork, copy and other material which the Publisher or his employees have originated or reworked shall vest in the Publisher. (ii) The Publisher is hereby authorised to record, reproduce, publish, distribute and broadcast (or to permit the same) all advertisements (including but not limited to text, artwork and photographs) and to include and make them available in any information service, electronic or otherwise.
