    We have established security procedures and policies to protect the loss, misuse or alteration of information under Houts Enterprises LLC control. We value your business and are committed to doing everything possible to make our online ordering process secure and pleasant.

    You can rest assured that your on-line purchase with us is 100% secure! Credit card information is entered and transferred under SSL 128 bit encryption. Once you have completed your order online, our security procedures do not end. The moment you press "Submit" to send your order, the encrypted information is kept inaccessible.

    Ways to tell when you are in a secure section: In all browsers, look for the "http" in the URL to "https." The added "S" represents the secure area. The entire ordering process at our online store, from when you decide to checkout until your order is confirmed, is conducted on a secure server. Further, many popular browsers have a symbol to indicate secure mode. To verify that your browser is secure, look at the bottom of your browser's window; Netscape displays a solid key and Internet Explorer displays a closed lock.

    In order to give you the best service possible we require Internet online ordering for Beretta CX4 Storm Shop and the M16 & AR15 Accessory Shop orders.

    Customer has 10 days to return product after an return has been authorized, otherwise return maybe refused at our discretion.

If replacing a product we will pay shipping back to the customer and restocking fees do not apply. The defective product must be issued a Return Authorization in 15 days or less after the order is received by the customer, beyond 15 days it falls under manufacturer's warranty repair.

    (2) Items returned for exchange for a new product will not be charged a restocking fee under the following conditions; they must be issued a Return Authorization in 15 days or less after the order is received by the customer, product must be in new condition, the package must be undamaged, the new product purchase must be equal to or greater in value to the original purchase, or any credit remaining after the exchange must be not refunded but kept as a store credit for later purchase. Customer pays both return and new product shipping to and from Houts Enterprises LLC since this is a new purchase exchange.

    (3) Items returned for exchange for a new product will be charged a 15% restocking fee under the following conditions; they must be issued a Return Authorization in 30 days or less after the order is received by the customer, product must be in new condition, the package must be undamaged, and the new product purchase can be less than the original purchase.

    (5) Items returned in new condition but with damaged packing can not be resold as new products. They must be marked down and then sold as used items. The 35% restocking fee offsets this mark down, and other associated costs with handling a "separate" used item from standard inventory, and the full inspection and testing required with an unauthorized return, since we have no idea if it is damaged or in good working condition.

    (6) Products returned in bubble or padded envelopes will not be accepted for return under any condition and will be returned at customers expense. They will not be accepted in a later second shipment since unknown damage may have occurred in the not packaged properly shipment (Bubble or padded envelopes), return items must be in a secure box with proper packing.

    After a return is authorized by our Customer Service Department:
    Return the item to the address given to you by our product return department.
    Write the Return Authorization Number on the box.

    Keep your shipping records for proof of shipment in the event of loss of returned merchandise. Returns shipped via U.S. Postal Service (U.S.P.S.) with a value of over $100.00 should be insured. We are not liable for return merchandise that does not reach our return department. We will notify you via e-mail or phone of your refund once we have received and processed the returned item. You can expect your refund in the same form of payment originally used for purchase. Please note that we will refund shipping costs only if the return is a result of our error.

    Some products we sell are covered by a manufacturer's warranty that specifically requires the item be sent directly to the manufacturer for replacement or repair. Send Returns and Exchanges with Return authorization number to the address provided by the Return Authorization you will be emailed.

    Due to the nature of our products and to "prohibit experimentation," all sales of books, videos, software, cameras, and night vision equipment are final and there are no returns. Be Sure it's Right Before You Order it!

    Damaged Products, Lost Package or Defective Items

    Some products we sell are covered by a manufacturer's warranty that specifically requires the item be sent directly to the manufacturer for replacement or repair.

    UPS will settle a lost package or damaged product claim usually within 10 business days. USPS Priority Mail shipments are not considered lost by the U.S. Postal Service until thirty days from mailing.

We will contact our local post office to determine if any information can be obtained about the shipment. If you still have not received your shipment at the thirty day point Houts Enterprises LLC will file a lost claim and paperwork will be sent to you to sign. Once we have the completed signed claim form we can refund or re-ship your order.

    Damaged Merchandise

    Damaged shipments from handling must be claimed with the freight carrier. If any cartons are missing or damaged, be sure to note this on the freight bill. If you notice concealed damage after the driver has left, keep all the packing and call the freight carrier to return and inspect the damage and file a claim. We cannot be responsible for damage caused by the freight carrier.

    Error in Shipping

    In the event we send the wrong item or a item or item's not ordered with your purchase we will make arrangements for you to return them at no cost to you. At our discretion a replacement item or item's will be sent prior to us receiving the return so that you may enjoy your purchase as soon as possible.
