Book storage

National Safety Center LLC holds a Federal Firearms License and offers storage of firearms for their lawful owners at our licensed premises. These terms govern our receiving, recording, holding, return and, where necessary, lawful disposition of each firearm you leave with us for storage.

These terms apply to the storage booking for which you accept them and to each firearm and other item we receive from you under that booking.

By electronically accepting these terms as part of your storage booking or payment process, you agree that they form part of your transaction with National Safety Center and that your electronic acceptance is intended as your signature and agreement to these terms, including the security interest described below.

Leaving a firearm with us for storage does not make National Safety Center its owner. You remain its owner. You confirm that you own each firearm you leave with us, or are otherwise lawfully entitled to possess it and to agree to these terms for it, and that you may lawfully possess it.

We store firearms that are unloaded when they are handed to us. A case is not required. If you leave a case, empty magazines or accessories with a firearm, we list them on your storage receipt and hold them under these terms.

We will not accept:

• Ammunition of any kind, including a loaded magazine.
• Items regulated under the National Firearms Act, which federal law generally does not allow to be left with a dealer for storage without an approved transfer.
• A firearm that is unlawful for you to possess, or for us to receive, possess or return.
• A firearm we have reason to believe is lost, stolen or the subject of a legal dispute.
• A firearm that National Safety Center determines it cannot lawfully or reasonably store.

We may decline any firearm for storage, at booking or at drop-off, for any lawful reason, including its declared value. If we decline a firearm after you have paid for it, the charges for that firearm are refunded.

You must declare a value for each firearm you store with us when you book. The value you declare for a firearm includes anything you leave with it. Your declared values are printed on your storage receipt, and you confirm them when you sign it.

Storage covers a declared value of up to $150 for each firearm. For each firearm declared above that, a value fee of $10 is added for each month, or part of a month, for each $100, or part of it, by which its declared value exceeds that amount. The value fee is charged with the storage charges for your term, any extension and any month after your term ends.

A firearm with a declared value above $5,000 cannot be booked online. Call us, and we will tell you whether we can store it and on what terms, in writing.

Your declared value is not an appraisal, and we do not verify it. It sets the limit of our liability described below. Declaring a value lower than the firearm is worth reduces what we may owe you if it is lost or damaged.

Bring each firearm to our counter, unloaded, at your booked drop-off time, with current government-issued photo identification.

Federal law requires us to enter each firearm we take into storage in our acquisition and disposition records, with your name and address as the person from whom we received it. We give you a storage receipt listing the firearms and items we received and their declared values. Please check it before you leave.

We do not inspect, test-fire, disassemble, clean, lubricate or service a stored firearm, and we have not done so when we receive it. Our receipt of a firearm, and its entry in our records, is not an inspection or acceptance of its condition on your behalf.

National Safety Center is not responsible for the condition of a stored firearm, and makes no representation or guarantee that a firearm, or anything left with it, is safe, functional or in the same condition when it is collected, returned or otherwise disposed of. You accept each firearm in the condition in which it is handed back. Have a stored firearm inspected by a qualified gunsmith before you use it.

Storage is $30 for each firearm for each month, or part of a month. You book a term of at least 1 month and no more than 12 months. Your term begins on the day we receive your firearms.

A pickup fee of $15 for each booking covers completing ATF Form 4473 with you, submitting the applicable Florida background check and the lawful hand-over at the end of your storage.

You may pay the charges for your term and the pickup fee online when you book, through the link we send you, or at our counter. They must be paid before we begin the paperwork to return a firearm to you.

The rates and periods in these terms when you accept them apply for the whole of your booking, including any extension.

If you cancel before you drop off, anything you have paid is refunded in full.

Once we have received your firearms, the charges for the whole term you booked, and for any extension, are earned in full and will not be refunded, in whole or in part, for any reason. This includes where you collect your firearms before the term ends, your background check is delayed or denied, you are otherwise unable or no longer wish to collect, or your firearms are released, returned or disposed of under these terms before the term ends.

You may extend your term by whole months before it ends, online through the link we send you or at our counter. Payment for an extension is due when you extend. We remind you before your term ends using the contact information you gave us, but the end date on your receipt applies whether or not a reminder reaches you.

If your firearms are not collected, and your term is not extended, within 7 days after your term ends, a late fee of $25 is charged once for the booking, and storage, with any value fee, continues at $30 for each firearm for each month, or part of a month, from the end of your term until the firearms are collected, returned or otherwise disposed of.

An applicable waiting period will not cause you to be charged the late fee. If you begin the return process with us before your term ends, but a firearm must remain with us solely because a legally required waiting period has not expired, that additional required time is not treated as your failure to collect.

Storage charges, the late fee and any other amounts due under these terms are due before a firearm is released or returned.

If 90 days pass after the end of your term without the firearms being collected or the term extended, and without a written arrangement with us, the firearms are considered uncollected and you are in default under these terms.

The passage of the uncollected-firearm period does not automatically transfer ownership of the firearm to National Safety Center. Instead, National Safety Center may exercise the security-interest and disposition rights described below.

Federal law requires ATF Form 4473 to be completed, and Florida requires the applicable background check through the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, before we may return a stored firearm to you. We complete both with you at our premises.

Bring current government-issued photo identification showing your present residence address and any additional documentation required by law. If the address on your identification is not current, additional government documentation may be required.

Florida generally imposes a waiting period of 3 days before the delivery of a firearm unless an exemption applies, and we apply it to the return of a stored firearm as we do to a transfer. A lawful local waiting period may also apply. National Safety Center will not release a firearm until the applicable waiting period has expired and all other legal requirements have been satisfied. Depending on when you come to us and whether an exemption applies, more than one visit may be required.

We release a stored firearm only to you, the person who deposited it, or to one other person you named to us in writing in advance, when you booked or later but before they come to collect. Whoever collects must appear in person, complete their own ATF Form 4473 and background check as the person receiving the firearm, and be legally eligible to receive it. We will not release a stored firearm to anyone else.

We may refuse any release that we reasonably believe could constitute a straw transaction, an attempt to circumvent a background check or another unlawful transfer.

You must be legally eligible to receive and possess the firearm. National Safety Center may refuse or discontinue a release that we reasonably believe would be unlawful, would circumvent a legal requirement, or would otherwise place National Safety Center in violation of its legal or regulatory obligations.

If your background check is delayed or otherwise remains pending, the firearm remains in our custody until the transaction may lawfully proceed or another lawful disposition is arranged. The storage provisions of these terms continue to apply while the firearm remains with us.

If your background check is denied or not approved, we will not release the firearm to you. You are responsible for pursuing any appeal, correction or other available process with the appropriate government agency.

You have 90 days after we notify you of the denial or nonapproval to resolve the matter, provide us reasonable evidence that you are actively pursuing a timely appeal or correction, or arrange with us for another lawful disposition of the firearm, such as its sale or its transfer to another licensed dealer.

A government agency may impose an appeal deadline that is shorter than our period. You are responsible for complying with the government deadline. Our terms do not extend any deadline established by law or by a government agency.

If you provide reasonable evidence that a timely appeal or correction remains actively pending, we may continue holding the firearm while that process is pending. Storage charges continue to apply under these terms unless we agree otherwise in writing.

If you do not resolve the matter, actively pursue a timely appeal or correction, or make another written arrangement with us within 90 days, the firearm will be treated as an uncollected firearm in default under these terms and may be disposed of as provided below.

A denial or nonapproval does not give you an automatic right to direct us to transfer the firearm to a spouse, family member, friend or other person. We may refuse any proposed transfer that we reasonably believe could constitute a straw transaction, an attempt to circumvent a background check or another unlawful transfer.

By accepting these terms, you grant National Safety Center LLC a security interest in all of your right, title and interest in the specific firearm or firearms you leave with National Safety Center under the storage booking to which these terms apply, together with any case, magazine, accessory or other property delivered with them.

The firearm or firearms covered by this security interest are objectively identified by the storage booking through which you accepted these terms, by the storage receipt we give you, and by the firearm or firearms actually received by National Safety Center under that booking.

This security interest secures all amounts you owe National Safety Center in connection with the stored firearms, including storage charges, the pickup fee, the late fee, and reasonable costs of preserving, holding, valuing, preparing, advertising, selling or otherwise lawfully disposing of the firearm. It also secures reasonable enforcement and legal expenses to the extent permitted by applicable law.

These terms are intended to constitute a signed security agreement under applicable Florida secured-transactions law. Your electronic acceptance of these terms is intended to constitute your signature to that security agreement.

The security interest applies only to rights in the firearm that you actually possess or have the power to grant. Nothing in these terms gives National Safety Center greater rights than applicable law permits or defeats a superior ownership or security interest held by another person.

National Safety Center may retain possession of the firearm while amounts secured by it remain unpaid, to the extent permitted by law.

You are in default under these terms if an amount due to National Safety Center remains unpaid, if you fail to perform an obligation required by these terms, or if 90 days pass after the end of your term or the applicable notice without the firearm being collected, the term being extended, the matter being actively resolved, or another written arrangement being made with us.

After default, National Safety Center may continue to store the firearm and accrue applicable charges, release the firearm to you or to the person you named, or exercise the remedies available to a secured party under applicable Florida law.

Those remedies may include selling or otherwise disposing of your interest in the firearm and applying the proceeds to the amounts secured by it.

Before selling or disposing of a firearm under our security interest, we will provide the notice required by applicable law to you and to any other person entitled to notice.

Any sale or other disposition will be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in compliance with applicable firearms laws. Depending on the circumstances, the firearm may be sold through our ordinary retail operations, to another licensed dealer, through an established firearms marketplace or auction, or by another commercially reasonable method customary for firearms of that type.

National Safety Center may consider the firearm's condition, dealer and retail market information, comparable sales, wholesale values, recognized pricing information and other commercially reasonable information when determining an appropriate method and price for disposition.

No sale under this section permits National Safety Center to disregard federal or Florida firearms laws. Any subsequent purchaser or transferee must complete every background check, form, waiting period and other requirement applicable to that transaction.

Money received from a disposition of an uncollected firearm will be applied in the order required by applicable law.

This may include reasonable expenses of holding, preparing and disposing of the firearm, followed by storage charges, the pickup fee, the late fee and other obligations secured by the firearm.

If the lawful charges and expenses exceed the amount recovered, you remain responsible for any deficiency to the extent permitted by law.

If money remains after all amounts that may lawfully be paid from the proceeds have been satisfied, any surplus belonging to you will be accounted for and made available to you as required by law.

Until the firearm has been sold or National Safety Center has entered into a binding agreement for its disposition, you may exercise any right of redemption provided by applicable law by satisfying the secured obligations and permitted expenses.

Redeeming your financial interest in a firearm does not require National Safety Center to physically transfer the firearm to you unless you are legally eligible to receive it and all applicable transfer requirements have been satisfied.

Nothing in these terms waives any notice, redemption, accounting, surplus or other right that applicable law does not permit you to waive in advance.

If law enforcement, a court, a secured creditor or another person establishes a superior legal right to a stored firearm, or presents lawful process concerning it, National Safety Center may hold, surrender or otherwise deal with the firearm as required or permitted by law. Where the law allows, we will tell you.

If a genuine ownership dispute arises, National Safety Center may continue holding the firearm and accruing applicable storage charges while the parties resolve the dispute, or may take another lawful action reasonably necessary to protect National Safety Center and the firearm.

National Safety Center is not required to decide a private ownership dispute between you and another claimant.

You are responsible for insuring your firearms, and anything left with them, for their full value for the entire time they are in our storage. National Safety Center does not insure your property and does not undertake to obtain insurance for you, and our own insurance does not cover your property.

Before you drop off, we recommend that you confirm with your insurer that your policy covers firearms kept away from your home and the value of the firearms you are storing.

While your firearms are in our custody, we keep them at our licensed premises, secured in the manner we use for firearms in our own custody, and exercise the level of care required by applicable law, but National Safety Center is not an insurer of your property.

To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, National Safety Center's total liability for the loss of, theft of or damage to a stored firearm, together with anything left with it, is limited to the lesser of its declared value and its actual cash value at the time of the loss, theft or damage.

To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, National Safety Center's total liability for any other claim arising from the storage service is limited to the charges you paid for the booking concerned.

To the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, National Safety Center is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising from the storage service, including loss of use, lost value, lost profits or travel expenses.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where Florida law does not permit that liability to be excluded or limited.

You are responsible for providing accurate contact information and keeping it current until the firearm has been collected, returned or otherwise disposed of.

Unless applicable law requires a different form of notice, we may communicate with you using the last email address, telephone number or mailing address you provided to us.

A failure to receive a communication because you supplied incorrect information or failed to update your information does not by itself extend a deadline when National Safety Center reasonably sent the communication using the information on file.

We keep the acquisition, disposition, ATF Form 4473 and other records that federal or state law requires us to keep, and the storage receipt. We may also retain booking, payment, contact, acceptance and communication records reasonably necessary to administer your storage and enforce these terms.

We may disclose information when required by law or reasonably necessary to conduct the background check, administer the transaction, process payment, comply with our regulatory obligations or respond to lawful governmental requests. We do not sell your personal information.

When you electronically accept these terms as part of booking or paying for firearm storage, or at our counter, you intend that action to authenticate and adopt these terms as your agreement with National Safety Center.

Your acceptance applies to the specific storage booking for which it was given and to each firearm and item received by National Safety Center under that booking.

National Safety Center may retain an electronic record of your acceptance, including the applicable terms version, effective date, booking identifier and information establishing when and how the terms were accepted.

You agree that an electronic copy of these terms and our electronic record of your acceptance may be used to establish the terms you accepted.

These terms and the storage service are governed by Florida law.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, any dispute arising from these terms or the storage service must be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction serving the county in which National Safety Center's licensed premises are located.

If any provision of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions will remain in effect.

National Safety Center's decision not to enforce a provision on one occasion does not waive the right to enforce it later.

A written arrangement we make with you concerning a particular booking may modify the applicable timing or handling of that booking, but no oral statement modifies these terms.

These terms are version 1, effective November 12, 2026. The version you accepted for a booking is the version that applies to that booking, and we keep a record of which version was accepted.

We may change these terms for future bookings. A later version does not replace the version governing an existing booking unless you affirmatively agree to the change.
