Terms of Service

Last updated: 06/09/2026 · Effective: [placeholder, set when launched]

1. What GunTracker is

GunTracker is a single-user web application for personal firearm owners to keep records of the guns, accessories, ammunition, range trips, and maintenance in their own collection. It exists to make those records easier to keep, search, and print if you ever need them (for example, for an insurance claim or to report a theft). GunTracker is owned and operated by Smith Web Apps, LLC, a limited liability company. In these Terms, "we," "us," and "our" refer to Smith Web Apps, LLC; "GunTracker," "the service," and "the app" refer to the product itself; and "you" and "your" refer to the individual who created and uses an account.

GunTracker is not a federally regulated record system. It is not an A&D book, an FFL bound-book, an ATF Form 4473 system, or any other regulated firearms record. It is not affiliated with the ATF, any state agency, or any law enforcement body. If you are a federally licensed dealer, importer, manufacturer, gunsmith, or other regulated entity, this service is not designed for your record-keeping obligations and you should use software that is.

By creating an account or using GunTracker, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not create an account and do not use the service.

2. Who can use it

You may use GunTracker only if all of the following are true:

  • You are at least 18 years old (21 in jurisdictions that require it for firearm ownership).
  • You are legally permitted to own the firearms and accessories you record under the laws of every jurisdiction that applies to you.
  • You are not a prohibited person under the law of your jurisdiction.
  • You are not on any U.S. government list of restricted parties (for example, OFAC sanctioned-persons lists).
  • You are using the service for your own personal record-keeping, not on behalf of a business, FFL, agency, or third party whose records you do not lawfully control.

We may decline service, suspend, or close accounts where these conditions are not met or where there is reasonable evidence the service is being used unlawfully.

3. Your account

  • You are responsible for keeping your password and any two-factor channel secure. Use a unique password. We strongly recommend turning on two-factor authentication.
  • You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account.
  • Do not share your account. There is no concept of shared accounts in GunTracker. Each collection lives under exactly one user.
  • If you suspect your account has been accessed by someone else, change your password and turn on two-factor immediately, then contact us.
  • The information you provide when registering must be accurate and current. Use a real email address you control. We may suspend accounts where the registration information is materially false.

4. Your content and your data

Every record you create in GunTracker (firearms, accessories, ammunition, range trips, photos, notes) is yours. We hold it on your behalf for the purpose of operating the service. We do not claim ownership, we do not license it elsewhere, and we do not use it to train models or to do anything other than show it back to you when you ask for it.

You grant us a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, store, transmit, display, and process your content solely for the purpose of operating, securing, and improving the service. This license ends when you delete the content or your account, except to the extent the content remains in backups for the limited rotation period described in the Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for the accuracy of what you enter. GunTracker does not verify serial numbers, purchase prices, dates, or any other field against external sources. The records are only as accurate as what you put in.

You represent and warrant that (a) you own or have the necessary rights to the content you upload, (b) your content does not violate any law or any third party's rights, and (c) you have the right to record the firearms and accessories you list.

See the Privacy Policy for details on what we collect, how it is stored, and how to delete your account.

5. Our intellectual property and your license to use the app

The GunTracker service, including the software, design, layout, text, graphics, logos, icons, and the arrangement of all of the foregoing, is the intellectual property of Smith Web Apps, LLC or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. "GunTracker" and "Smith Web Apps" are trademarks of Smith Web Apps, LLC. Your content remains yours (see Section 4); this section covers the service itself.

We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable license to access and use the service for your own personal, non-commercial record-keeping while your account is in good standing. You may not:

  • copy, modify, distribute, sell, lease, or create derivative works of the service or any part of it;
  • reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code, except to the limited extent applicable law expressly permits despite this limitation;
  • remove or alter any proprietary notices, branding, or labels on or in the service;
  • use the service or any part of it to build a competing product or service;
  • use any robot, scraper, or other automated means to access the service except as expressly permitted in writing.

All rights not expressly granted to you in these Terms are reserved to Smith Web Apps, LLC and its licensors.

6. Acceptable use

While using GunTracker you agree not to:

  • Use the service for any unlawful purpose, including recording firearms or transactions that violate the law of your jurisdiction.
  • Attempt to gain access to accounts or data that are not yours.
  • Probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the service without prior written permission.
  • Interfere with, disrupt, or impose an unreasonable load on the service or its infrastructure.
  • Use automated tools to scrape, crawl, or otherwise access the service in ways that degrade it for others.
  • Upload content that infringes intellectual property rights or includes other people's personal information without their consent.
  • Use the service to record firearms or accessories you do not lawfully own or possess.
  • Use the service to harass, threaten, or harm another person.
  • Use the service to record information about people other than yourself, except to the limited extent a record naturally identifies a counterparty (for example, the buyer's name on a "Sold to" field for a firearm you sold).
  • Attempt to bypass or undermine any access control, rate limit, lockout, or billing mechanism.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section, and where appropriate to report unlawful activity to authorities.

7. Feedback

If you send us suggestions, ideas, feature requests, bug reports, or other feedback about the service (collectively, "Feedback"), you grant us a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate that Feedback into the service or any other product, without obligation or compensation to you. Feedback is not confidential. Do not send us anything you don't want us to be free to use.

8. Trial and subscription

New accounts include a 30-day free trial with no payment method required. During the trial you have full access to all features. After the trial, continued use requires a paid subscription.

One trial per person. The free trial is intended to let you evaluate the service once. We may decline, shorten, or end a trial for accounts we reasonably believe were created to obtain repeated free trials.

Price. $5 USD per month, billed by Stripe on behalf of Smith Web Apps, LLC. Your card statement will show the merchant as Smith Web Apps, LLC with GUNTRACKER as the recognizable product descriptor. You can cancel any time through the Manage Subscription button on your profile, which opens Stripe's hosted billing portal. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period; you keep access through what you have paid for.

Renewal. The subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period at the then-current price unless you cancel before the renewal date. You authorize Stripe to charge your payment method on each renewal.

Price changes. We may change the subscription price. If we do, we will give you at least 30 days' notice by email or in-app notice before the change takes effect. If you do not want to continue at the new price, you can cancel before the change takes effect.

Refunds. Subscriptions are non-refundable past the trial period. If you cancel after the trial, you are not charged for any unused portion of a future cycle, but the cycle you are in is yours.

Trial expiry. If you do not subscribe before your trial ends, your account is locked but your data is preserved. You can subscribe at any time to restore access, or delete your account (along with all your data) at no charge.

Failed payments. If a subscription payment fails, your account is locked until you update your payment method through Stripe's billing portal. Your data is preserved during the lockout. You can also delete your account from the lockout page at no further charge.

What we share with Stripe to bill you: an opaque internal ID. See the Privacy Policy Section 4 for the full data-sharing scope.

Taxes. The subscription price does not include any taxes that may be required by your jurisdiction (for example, sales or use tax). You are responsible for any such taxes. Where required by law, we may collect them in addition to the subscription price.

9. Reports are records, not affidavits

GunTracker can generate printable reports (for example, a theft / loss report, an insurance inventory, or a current-inventory report). These reports reproduce the records you entered in the form most likely to be useful to an insurer or to law enforcement.

They are not sworn statements, official documents, or legal instruments. They do not authenticate the underlying records. They do not certify ownership. They do not substitute for any report you are required by law to file. If you need a formal, sworn, or notarized document, prepare one separately under the guidance of the appropriate professional.

10. Not legal, tax, insurance, or compliance advice

Nothing in GunTracker, including any feature, help text, or document it generates, constitutes legal, tax, insurance, or compliance advice. Firearms laws vary widely by jurisdiction and change over time. For questions about what you are required or permitted to do, consult an attorney or other qualified professional licensed in your jurisdiction.

11. You are responsible for firearm-law compliance

You are solely responsible for complying with all federal, state, local, and other firearms laws and regulations that apply to you, including but not limited to laws governing ownership, possession, registration, transfer, storage, transportation, and reporting of firearms, accessories, and ammunition.

GunTracker is a personal record-keeping tool. It does not determine, certify, or vouch for your compliance with any law. Using GunTracker does not satisfy any legal obligation you may have to register, report, or maintain official records of your firearms. If you are required by law to maintain particular records or to report particular events, you must do so through the channels and in the form your law requires, independently of what you keep in GunTracker.

12. Availability and changes to the service

We will use reasonable effort to keep the service available, but we cannot promise it will be available at all times. Planned maintenance, software updates, or outages at our hosting provider may make the service temporarily unavailable. We do not offer service-level guarantees.

We may add, change, or remove features over time. We will not silently remove your data. If a feature is retired, the data behind it will either continue to be displayed in a different form or you will be given a way to export or delete it before the change takes effect.

13. Termination

You can close your account at any time from Account → Danger zone → Delete my account. Deletion is permanent and immediate. See the Privacy Policy for what happens to your data when you delete your account.

We may suspend or terminate your account if you breach these Terms, if there is reasonable evidence of fraud or abuse, if a payment fails persistently, if continuing to provide service would expose us to legal risk, or if we are required to do so by law. Where practical, we will give you notice and a chance to address the issue before terminating.

Sections that, by their nature, should survive termination will do so, including without limitation Sections 4 (your representations about content), 5 (intellectual property), 7 (feedback), 14 (disclaimer), 15 (limitation of liability), 16 (indemnification), 21 (governing law and disputes), and 23 (miscellaneous).

14. Disclaimer of warranties

The service is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

We do not warrant that the records you keep in the service will be sufficient for any particular purpose, including insurance claims, criminal investigations, estate planning, or compliance with any law. You are responsible for keeping independent copies of records that matter to you and for understanding what documentation is acceptable for your specific need.

15. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, in no event will Smith Web Apps, LLC (operator of GunTracker), its officers, members, employees, affiliates, agents, or licensors be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including without limitation loss of profits, loss of data, loss of business, or loss of property (whether based in contract, tort including negligence, strict liability, or any other legal theory) even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total cumulative liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the service or these Terms is limited to the greater of (a) the amount you have paid to use the service in the twelve months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $50.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain damages. If those laws apply to you, some of the disclaimers and limitations above may not apply, and you may have additional rights.

[Placeholder, the lawyer should align this clause with the chosen governing law and any applicable consumer-protection limits, and adjust the dollar cap.]

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold Smith Web Apps, LLC, its officers, members, employees, affiliates, agents, and licensors harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of (a) your use of the service in violation of these Terms or applicable law, (b) records or content you submit to the service that you did not have the right to record or submit, (c) your violation of any third party's rights, or (d) your violation of any law or regulation, including any law or regulation governing firearms.

17. Copyright notice and takedown (DMCA)

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and ask our users to do the same. If you believe that content on the service infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") containing:

  • your physical or electronic signature;
  • identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
  • identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information sufficient for us to locate it;
  • your contact information (address, telephone number, email);
  • a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Send DMCA notices to: [placeholder, insert designated DMCA agent name, address, phone, and email before launch].

We will respond to properly-formed notices by removing or disabling access to the material, terminating the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances, and following the counter-notice procedures of the DMCA. Misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notice may subject the sender to liability under the DMCA.

18. Force majeure

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance to the extent caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, war, terrorism, civil unrest, labor disputes, internet or telecommunications failures, power outages, cyberattacks, pandemics, or governmental actions. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of such events.

19. Notices and electronic communications

From us to you. We will deliver notices required under these Terms by email to the address associated with your account or by posting a prominent in-app notice. You are responsible for keeping your email address current.

From you to us. You may deliver notices to us at guntrackersupport@smithwebappsllc.com or by using the Support form. For legal notices (including DMCA, subpoenas, and litigation correspondence), use the contact information in Sections 17 and 24 below.

Consent to electronic communications. By using the service, you consent to receive communications from us electronically (email, in-app notices, and similar). Electronic communications satisfy any legal requirement that the communication be in writing.

20. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will give you reasonable notice in the app or by email before the change takes effect. Continued use of the service after the effective date of an updated version constitutes acceptance of the new Terms. If you do not agree to the new Terms, your remedy is to stop using the service and delete your account.

21. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of [placeholder, insert state or jurisdiction before launch, typically the LLC's state of formation], without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Any dispute arising out of or relating to the service or these Terms will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in that jurisdiction, and you and we consent to personal jurisdiction there. You and we each waive any right to a jury trial.

Any claim must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arose, except where applicable law prohibits a shorter limitations period.

[Placeholder, the lawyer should decide whether to add an arbitration clause, a class-action waiver, a small-claims-court carve-out, opt-out provisions, and venue selection appropriate for the chosen jurisdiction. If arbitration is added, the placement of this section and the limitations clause may need revision.]

22. Export control and sanctions

You may not access or use the service from a country subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions, or if you are an individual or entity on any U.S. government list of restricted parties (including the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals list). You agree not to export, re-export, or transfer the service or any data obtained through it in violation of U.S. export-control or sanctions laws.

23. Miscellaneous

  • Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any additional terms presented to you in the service, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the service and supersede any prior agreements on the same subject.
  • Severability. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable.
  • No waiver. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of the right to do so later.
  • Assignment. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or financing, in whole or in part, with notice to you.
  • Independent contractors. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, employment, or fiduciary relationship between you and us.
  • No third-party beneficiaries. These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights, except that affiliates, officers, members, employees, agents, and licensors of Smith Web Apps, LLC are intended beneficiaries of the disclaimer, limitation-of-liability, and indemnification sections.
  • Headings. Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
  • Survival. Sections that, by their nature, should survive termination will survive, including without limitation Sections 4, 5, 7, 14, 15, 16, 21, and this Section 23.
