SALE OF BODY ARMOR INFORMATION

It is REQUIRED that ALL Purchasers of our Body Armor Read, Understand and
Abide by the following information, regulations and laws.
It is the SOLE responsibility of the purchaser to ensure that all transactions conform to U.S. and Federal, State and Local Statutes, Codes, Ordinances and the purchaser’s local laws and regulations.

*** DUE TO THE LIFE-SAVING NATURE OF BODY ARMOR – ALL SALES ARE FINAL ***

We Sell ONLY to Law-Abiding Adults. Body Armor is a purely defensive item but, regardless, we are very sensitive to the possibility of it being misused by criminals or for criminal activity. By buying a armor from us, you certify that you are law-abiding, of adult age, have no felony convictions and do not intend to use it for criminal activity. We do not sell to felons or minors.

It is against the law for a person convicted of a crime of violence to possess Body Armor under federal law (unless required by your employer, see, Sec. 931).   It is also illegal under state law for a convicted felon to own armor in many states.
We cooperate with law enforcement to stop the use of armor by criminals. If you have any criminal purpose in mind (or resell your armor to a criminal) you do NOT want to have bought Armor from us!  (The exception in our Privacy Commitment is to respond to inquires from law enforcement where armor we sold is suspected to have been involved in a crime.)

We reserve the right to refuse to sell to anyone, at our sole discretion. By buying body armor you guarantee that you are not legally prohibited from owning firearms, or body armor, and also that you are not associated with any criminal group, in any way, and have only a lawful purpose for owning body armor.

NO Armor is 100% Bulletproof

A bulletproof armor plate or soft armor will protect you from the majority of pistol ballistics or pistol size rounds, but it is not guaranteed.

Please be aware that:
- Rifle rounds
- AR15 rounds
- Unusual high velocity pistol ammunition
- Pistol ammo fired from a rifle barrel
- Armor piercing ammunition
- Sharp-edged or pointed instruments (e.g., knives, icepicks, etc.), and/or other unusual ammunition or situations... CAN defeat, compromise or pierce body armor.

Also, at some angles projectiles can slide, or deflect off the edges of armor, or ricochet. Furthermore, projectiles that are successfully stopped by armor will always produce some level of injury, resulting in severe bruising, broken bones, and possibly serious internal injury or even death. Soft body armor defeats most pistol and some shotgun projectiles, but NO body armor makes you invulnerable to all threats. To state the obvious, getting shot ALWAYS carries some risk.
By buying Armor you assume ALL risks of use or misuse, and agree not to hold KORE Essentials liable in any way. In addition, YOU are responsible to ensure that your armor is positioned inner side IN closest to the body, and outer STRIKE FACE side OUT toward potential incoming bullet rounds. Please check the product label on the Amor itself for positioning.

Body Armor does have an expiration date and overtime it loses its protective qualities. That time period is typically 3-5 years depending on usage. Please check the label on the product itself for such information.
