Read this part even if you read nothing else
This site is free to read. If all you do is read articles, the only things that really apply to you are section 7 (we may earn a commission), section 9 (nothing here is safety advice from us) and section 13 (we are not Hasbro).
If you create a wish list, sections 3 to 6 are yours. If you are a parent, section 3 is the one to read.
1. What these terms are
These terms are the agreement between you and NerfGuns.net. You accept them by using the site. If you create an account, you accept them again at that point, and this time it matters more, because you are now publishing something on our domain.
They work alongside our Privacy Policy, our Cookie Policy and our Affiliate Disclosure. The Chrome extension additionally has its own Extension Privacy page.
2. What we call this document
We call it Terms of Service rather than Terms of Use because this is not only a set of articles. We host accounts, we publish pages that you create, we send email that you asked for, and we run software in your browser. That is a service, and it should be labelled as one.
3. Age, accounts and parents
This is the section that decides who may sign up.
Under 13. You may not have your own account here. If a wish list is for a child under 13, the account belongs to a parent or guardian, in the parent's name and on the parent's email address. The parent accepts these terms, the parent decides what is published, and the parent can take the list down at any time. A child can pick every item on it. The account is still the adult's.
13 to 17. You may hold your own account. By creating one you are telling us you are at least 13. We ask you to tell a parent or guardian, because a wish list is meant to be shared with family and because they may end up buying from it. Your account carries protections by default: nothing that identifies you personally is accepted into a display name or a note, your list is kept out of search results until a human has reviewed it, and you can make it private at any moment.
18 and over. Ordinary adult terms.
Where the product stands, stated plainly. Sign-up starts with a birth-date question on its own screen, before any name, email or password field appears. Under 13 routes to a parent-managed profile with no account, login or email of its own; 13 and up creates a standard account with the protections above. If you are a parent and you believe your child under 13 somehow holds an account of their own anyway, write to hello@nerfguns.net and we will delete it. We will not ask you for proof beyond enough information to find the account.
Your account is yours to look after. Use a real email address you can receive mail at, keep your password to yourself, and tell us at hello@nerfguns.net if you think someone else is in your account.
4. The wish list, and what you publish
A list is a public web page by default. It goes live the moment you make it, so you can send the link to family. It is kept out of Google until one of us has reviewed it, and it can be made private at any time, in which case nobody but you can load it.
Rules for what goes on a list. Our software already blocks most of this, and here it is as a rule as well. Do not publish:
- Your surname, your school, your address, your phone number, your email address or anybody else's.
- A photograph of a person as your cover image.
- Anything that pretends to be an official NerfGuns.net page.
- Anything obscene, hateful, harassing, or aimed at somebody else.
- Anything that is not really a wish list, including advertising, spam, links to your own shop, or a page created to sit on a good web address.
- Content you do not have the right to publish.
Items come from five shops. Links you add must be product pages at Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy or Hasbro Pulse. Other links are refused, and this is a safety rule as much as a technical one.
Moderation is real and it is a human. We review lists before they can appear in search results, we review captured items before they become clickable, and we can take any list off the web immediately if it breaks these rules. We do not owe you a public page.
You keep what you write. Your list, your notes and your cover image stay yours. You give us the permission we need to store, display and share that page, which is the point of the product. We do not sell your content, we do not license it to anybody else, and we do not use it to train a general purpose AI model.
One thing we do with lists in bulk. We count how often each product appears across public lists and publish the totals on our trending page, and you give us permission to include yours in that count. It is a count and nothing more. No list is named, linked, or counted in a way anybody could trace back to it, private lists are left out entirely, and the page shows nothing at all until there are at least three public lists to add up. The totals themselves are ours. Making your list private takes it out of the count immediately.
Claims are anonymous by design. When somebody marks an item as bought, we record only that it happened and when. If two relatives buy the same thing because one of them forgot to mark it, that is not something we can prevent or resolve.
Archiving. We may archive an old list rather than delete it, anonymizing the display name and the link back to your account while keeping the address working and the item list intact, so that a bookmarked link keeps working and shows a short message instead of an error. If you would rather it were deleted, say so and deletion wins.
5. Ending your account
You can ask us to delete your account and everything on it at any time by writing to hello@nerfguns.net, and we will do it, or you can use the self-serve delete button in the dashboard for an immediate, no-email-required deletion.
We may suspend or remove an account that breaks section 4, that is used to attack or overload the site, or that is being used to publish something we are not willing to host.
6. The Chrome extension
Using the extension is optional and it is free. It runs only on product pages at the five shops named above. It uses a token tied to your account that can do exactly two things, add one item to one of your own lists and read the names of your lists, and nothing else. Do not share that token. If you think somebody has it, generate a new one, which invalidates the old one. Removing the extension removes everything it stored on your machine.
7. How we make money, said out loud
Affiliate links. Many links on this site are affiliate links, principally Amazon Associates and eBay Partner Network. If you buy after clicking one, we may earn a commission and you pay nothing extra. Full detail on our Affiliate Disclosure page.
Ads. We show Google advertising on articles, and we honour the choice you make in our cookie banner about ad personalization. We do not show ads on wish list pages.
Editorial independence. A commission never changes a recommendation. Where a company has supplied a product, that is disclosed on the page it appears on, and no first-person testing claim is published unless the current publisher actually stands behind it.
Prices change and stock runs out. Every price, deal and availability statement on this site is a snapshot from when it was written. The shop's own page is always the correct one.
8. Content on this site
Our articles, our reviews, our photographs, our illustrations, our page designs and our software are ours, and you may not republish them wholesale. Quoting a paragraph with a link back is welcome and always has been.
Some articles on this site were written by a previous owner before the current era of the site, and some carry embedded media credited to its creators. If you own something published here and want it removed or credited differently, write to hello@nerfguns.net and we will sort it out quickly rather than argue.
Articles appear under the byline Gunner Vance, which is this site's editorial identity rather than a claim about any one individual.
9. Safety, and the limits of what we can tell you
This is the part we take most seriously, because our readers include children.
Nothing on this site is a safety instruction from us. We write about blasters, batteries, springs and modifications, and we describe what other people do. Always follow the manufacturer's own instructions and warnings for the product in your hands. They know their product and we do not.
Specifically: eye protection is your responsibility, and it belongs on every player at every game. Modifying a blaster can increase its power, can void its warranty, can make it unsafe, and can make it unwelcome at an organised game. Lithium polymer batteries can catch fire if they are charged, stored, punctured or disposed of incorrectly. Local rules, field rules and league rules override anything you read here.
If you are under 18, do not modify a blaster or handle a lithium battery without an adult.
We give no advice about the law where you live. Rules about where blasters may be carried, and how they must look, vary by country, state and city. Check yours.
10. Acceptable use of the site
Do not scrape, crawl or bulk copy the site, do not try to break into an account, do not probe for vulnerabilities without telling us first (see the Security page for how to report one), do not send automated traffic, and do not use the wish list system to publish something that is not a wish list.
11. Email we send you
We send two kinds. Account email, which is the message confirming your list and a password reset if you ask for one. And the newsletter, which you only ever receive after confirming a link we email you, and which you can leave in one click from inside any issue.
Every issue carries our postal address and a one click unsubscribe that works from inside your mail app, because that is what the law asks of commercial email and because nobody should have to hunt for the way out. We never send to an address that has not confirmed itself, so if you never clicked the confirmation link, you are not on the list and never were.
12. No warranty
The site and everything on it is provided as is and as available. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, that a price is current, that a product will fit your use, that a modification will work, or that a link will still resolve. Some states do not allow every exclusion, so parts of this may not apply to you.
Said in the words the law expects. We disclaim all implied warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We are told this only counts if it is easy to see, which is why it is its own paragraph in bold rather than buried in the one above. Some states do not allow every exclusion, so parts of this may not apply to you.
13. Trademarks
NERF is a registered trademark of Hasbro, Inc. This site is an independent enthusiast publication and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by or connected to Hasbro in any way. Other product names, brand names and logos on this site belong to their owners and are used to identify their products. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
14. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, for lost data, or for injury or damage arising from the use or modification of any product you read about here. Our total liability for any claim relating to the site will not exceed the greater of $100 or the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, which for nearly everyone is $0, since we do not charge for anything.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud or for death or personal injury caused by negligence.
15. Indemnity
If you publish something here that gets us sued, you agree to cover us for the claim, to the extent the law allows. For an account held by a parent on behalf of a child, this sits with the parent.
16. Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to conflict of law rules.
Before anybody files anything, write to us at hello@nerfguns.net and give us 30 days to fix it. Most things are fixable in an afternoon. Disputes are resolved in court and this agreement does not require arbitration. If it does reach a court, that court is a state or federal court sitting in Pierce County, Washington, and we both agree to it. Nothing here stops you bringing a claim in small claims court instead, if it qualifies.
17. Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top changes when we do, and a material change gets said plainly on the site rather than slipped in. If you do not accept a change, stop using the service and ask us to delete your account.
18. General
If a provision is unenforceable, the rest stands. Not enforcing something once does not waive it. You may not transfer your account to somebody else. We may transfer this agreement if the site changes hands, and the new owner takes on these terms and the Privacy Policy as they stand.
