TERMS OF SERVICE
Last Updated: August 23, 2026
OVERVIEW
This website is operated by Bear Fork Trading Post Inc. Throughout the Site, the terms “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Bear Fork Trading Post Inc.
Bear Fork Trading Post Inc. offers this website, including all information, tools, products, and services available from this Site to you, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies, and notices stated herein.
By visiting our Site, creating an account, placing an order, purchasing a product, or otherwise using any portion of our website or services, you engage in our “Service” and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service (“Terms”), including any additional terms, conditions, and policies referenced herein or made available by hyperlink.
These Terms apply to all users of the Site, including browsers, customers, vendors, merchants, and contributors of content.
Please read these Terms carefully before accessing or using the Site. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Site or our Services.
We reserve the right to update, modify, or replace any portion of these Terms by posting revisions to this page. Your continued use of the Site after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Our online store is hosted by Shopify Inc., which provides the ecommerce platform that allows us to offer products and Services to you.
SECTION 1 – AGE REQUIREMENTS
You must be at least 18 years of age to purchase any knife or edged tool from Bear Fork Trading Post Inc., or such greater age as may be required by applicable law for the particular product or jurisdiction.
By placing an order, you represent and warrant that you meet all applicable age requirements and are legally permitted to purchase and receive the products ordered.
You further represent that all information you provide in connection with your purchase, including your name, age, billing information, and shipping information, is accurate and truthful.
Bear Fork Trading Post Inc. reserves the right to request proof of age, identity, or legal eligibility before accepting or fulfilling an order.
Failure or refusal to provide requested verification may result in cancellation of the order.
SECTION 2 – KNIFE SALES AND LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Bear Fork Trading Post Inc. sells knives, edged tools, outdoor tools, everyday-carry products, and other merchandise that may be regulated differently depending on the product and the purchaser’s location.
Knife laws and regulations can govern the purchase, sale, shipment, delivery, possession, ownership, carrying, transportation, concealment, transfer, or use of particular products.
It is the customer’s responsibility to understand and comply with all applicable federal, state, county, municipal, local, and international laws relating to the customer’s purchase, receipt, possession, carrying, transportation, storage, transfer, and use of products purchased from Bear Fork Trading Post Inc.
By placing an order, you represent that you are legally permitted to purchase, receive, and possess the products ordered at the shipping destination provided.
Customer responsibility for legal compliance does not relieve Bear Fork Trading Post Inc. of any legal obligation imposed upon us as a seller, dealer, merchant, or shipper.
Nothing in these Terms authorizes any transaction, shipment, possession, carrying, transfer, or use prohibited by applicable law.
SECTION 3 – RESTRICTED PRODUCTS AND DESTINATIONS
Certain products may be subject to additional legal or carrier restrictions depending on their design, operation, blade length, configuration, or destination.
Such products may include, where applicable, automatic-opening knives, gravity-operated knives, double-edged knives, daggers, concealed or disguised blades, knives exceeding specified blade lengths, and other products classified as regulated articles or weapons under applicable law.
A product being displayed for sale on our website does not constitute a representation that the product may lawfully be purchased, shipped, received, possessed, carried, transported, transferred, or used in every jurisdiction.
Bear Fork Trading Post Inc. reserves the right to refuse, restrict, hold, or cancel an order when we reasonably determine that a transaction, product, destination, purchaser, or shipping method may be subject to legal, carrier, manufacturer, or other restrictions.
We may impose sales or shipping restrictions that are more conservative than the minimum requirements of applicable law.
SECTION 4 – PRODUCT CLASSIFICATIONS
Federal, state, local, and international laws may define or classify knives differently.
Customers should not assume that commercial or manufacturer terms such as “automatic,” “switchblade,” “assisted opening,” “spring assisted,” “gravity knife,” “OTF,” “dagger,” or similar terminology necessarily has the same legal meaning in every jurisdiction.
Product terminology provided on our website is primarily used for product identification, description, and merchandising.
The legal classification of a product may depend upon applicable law and the product’s actual design, construction, and operation.
Bear Fork Trading Post Inc. reserves the right to decline or cancel shipment of a product when its legal classification or permitted method of shipment is uncertain.
Information provided on our Site regarding laws, restrictions, product classifications, or permitted uses is general information only and is not legal advice.
SECTION 5 – PRODUCT SAFETY
Knives, edged tools, and similar products are inherently sharp and can cause serious bodily injury or death if mishandled, abused, or used improperly.
Purchasers are responsible for learning how to safely operate and handle the products they purchase.
Customers are responsible for following manufacturer instructions and warnings, maintaining products appropriately, using products only for lawful purposes, storing products securely, and preventing access by children or unauthorized persons.
Products must not be used in a reckless, threatening, criminal, or otherwise unlawful manner.
The ability to legally purchase or possess a product does not necessarily mean that it may legally be carried, carried concealed, transported in a particular manner, possessed in a particular location, or used in every circumstance.
Bear Fork Trading Post Inc. does not represent that a product may legally be carried or used in a particular jurisdiction merely because we are able to sell or ship it to you.
SECTION 6 – ONLINE STORE TERMS
You may not use our products, Site, or Services for any unlawful or unauthorized purpose.
You may not violate any applicable law through your use of the Site or Services.
You must not transmit viruses, malicious code, worms, malware, or any other destructive or harmful material through the Site.
A violation of these Terms may result in the suspension or termination of your access to our Services.
SECTION 7 – ORDER ACCEPTANCE
Submission of an order and receipt of an automated order confirmation do not necessarily constitute final acceptance of the transaction.
Bear Fork Trading Post Inc. reserves the right to review orders before fulfillment.
We may refuse, hold, restrict, or cancel an order for legitimate reasons including suspected fraud, unauthorized payment activity, inventory errors, pricing errors, technical errors, legal restrictions, carrier restrictions, manufacturer distribution restrictions, inability to verify customer information, or other circumstances that prevent us from reasonably completing the transaction.
If we cancel an order after collecting payment, applicable amounts for the canceled merchandise will be returned to the original payment method.
We may also limit quantities purchased by the same customer, account, payment method, billing address, shipping address, household, dealer, reseller, or distributor.
SECTION 8 – BILLING AND ACCOUNT INFORMATION
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase, billing, shipping, and account information.
You agree to promptly update information as necessary so that we can complete transactions and contact you regarding your order.
We reserve the right to cancel an order when payment cannot be verified, appears unauthorized, is declined, or presents a reasonable risk of fraud.
SECTION 9 – PRODUCTS AND AVAILABILITY
Certain products may be available exclusively through our online store and may have limited quantities.
We reserve the right to limit sales of products or Services to any person, household, geographic region, jurisdiction, reseller, distributor, or other category of purchaser where reasonably necessary.
We may limit quantities or discontinue any product at any time.
All offers are void where prohibited.
We make reasonable efforts to display product images, descriptions, colors, specifications, dimensions, materials, and other details accurately.
However, product information supplied by manufacturers may change, and displays may render colors and images differently.
We do not warrant that every product photograph, description, specification, or color representation will be completely accurate in every circumstance.
SECTION 10 – PRICING, ERRORS, AND SPECIFICATIONS
Prices, product specifications, availability, promotions, and other Site information may change without notice.
Occasionally, information on our Site may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, omissions, incorrect pricing, incorrect inventory information, or other mistakes.
We reserve the right to correct errors, update information, or cancel affected orders when information is inaccurate.
If an order is canceled because of a pricing, inventory, or other Site error after payment has been collected, applicable amounts will be refunded to the original payment method.
SECTION 11 – RETURNS AND REFUNDS
Returns, refunds, defective items, incorrect items, exchanges, and related matters are governed by our Return and Refund Policy.
Our Return and Refund Policy is available at:
https://bearforktradingpost.com/policies/refund-policy
Where there is a conflict between general language in these Terms and our Return and Refund Policy concerning the handling of a return or refund, the Return and Refund Policy will govern that issue, except where prohibited by applicable law.
Return Abuse
Bear Fork Trading Post Inc. reserves the right, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to refuse, limit, suspend, or terminate voluntary return privileges in cases involving suspected return fraud, abusive return activity, material or repeated violations of our Return and Refund Policy, falsified claims, intentional product damage, or other misuse of the return process.
Any restriction on voluntary return privileges does not limit rights or remedies that a customer may have under applicable law for defective, damaged, misdescribed, or otherwise legally nonconforming merchandise.
SECTION 12 – SHIPPING AND DELIVERY
Shipping and delivery dates are estimates unless we expressly state otherwise.
Delivery delays may occur because of carrier operations, weather, natural disasters, governmental actions, service interruptions, incorrect customer-provided information, or other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Customers are responsible for providing a complete, accurate, and deliverable shipping address.
Certain products may be subject to restrictions imposed by applicable law, the United States Postal Service, private carriers, manufacturers, or destination jurisdictions.
Bear Fork Trading Post Inc. may change the shipping carrier or shipping method, request additional information, hold an order for review, or cancel an order that cannot lawfully or reasonably be shipped.
Additional shipping terms may be contained in our Shipping Policy.
Freight Forwarders and Reshipping Services
If a customer chooses to have an order delivered to a freight forwarder, reshipping company, package consolidation service, export service, or similar third party selected by the customer, confirmed delivery to the address provided by the customer will constitute delivery of the order for purposes of our shipping obligations, except where otherwise required by applicable law.
After confirmed delivery to that third-party service, Bear Fork Trading Post Inc. is not responsible for loss, theft, damage, delay, alteration, misdelivery, customs seizure, confiscation, or other events occurring while the package is in the possession or control of the freight forwarder, reshipper, consolidation service, or subsequent carrier, except to the extent responsibility cannot legally be excluded.
Customers using such services are responsible for ensuring that the forwarding service and ultimate destination comply with applicable law.
SECTION 13 – INTERNATIONAL ORDERS
International customers are responsible for determining whether products may lawfully be exported, imported, cleared through customs, delivered, received, possessed, carried, transported, or used in the destination country or jurisdiction.
Bear Fork Trading Post Inc. cannot guarantee that an item lawful for sale in the United States will be permitted for import into another country.
International packages may be delayed, inspected, rejected, returned, seized, or confiscated by customs or other governmental authorities.
Customers are responsible for applicable customs duties, import taxes, brokerage fees, tariffs, governmental assessments, and other import-related charges unless otherwise expressly stated at checkout.
As provided in our Return and Refund Policy, international orders are final sale and are not eligible for voluntary returns or exchanges, except where otherwise required by applicable law.
Nothing in this section limits rights or remedies that applicable law does not permit to be waived.
SECTION 14 – MANUFACTURER WARRANTIES
Certain products may include warranties offered by the manufacturer.
Manufacturer warranties are governed by the applicable manufacturer’s terms and conditions.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, a manufacturer warranty does not expand Bear Fork Trading Post Inc.’s own Return and Refund Policy.
Warranty claims arising outside our applicable return period may need to be submitted directly to the manufacturer.
SECTION 15 – OPTIONAL AND THIRD-PARTY TOOLS
We may provide access to third-party tools, applications, integrations, payment providers, services, or websites that we do not own or control.
Your use of third-party services may be governed by the third party’s own terms, conditions, and privacy practices.
We are not responsible for the content, practices, products, or services of unaffiliated third parties except where liability cannot legally be excluded.
