Katana Legal Statement

To the maximum extent permitted by the applicable law, we (KatanaSwordArt) shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages, fines, or risks, where incurred directly or indirectly, resulting from the purchase, use, storage, or delivery of the goods or seller’s omission to advise. Permit or license may be required under your jurisdiction. We (KatanaSwordArt), at all times, shall not be held accountable for any breach of state law and action taken by the authorities.

By placing a Katana or Sword order, the customers confirm that they are over 18 years old and are aware of all local, state and federal laws regarding the possession or carrying of the products they are ordering. Customers are responsible for compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations and laws. KatanaSwordArt does not warrant that a person or company may legally sell, purchase, possess, or carry any of the items offered according to federal, state, or local laws.

When you place an order on our website, it is considered a binding contract between you and us. In accordance with Australian legislation, you must be at least 18 years old to enter into a legally enforceable contract. We may require you to scan or photograph your valid photo ID and email it to us to confirm that you are over 18 years of age before we can proceed with shipping your order. This information will be used solely for the purpose of completing this transaction. If you are concerned about sharing sensitive information, you may cover any unrelated details before sending. The transaction fee may apply if a customer requests a refund due to the above issue.

Customers in Victoria (Australia) should have a “prohibited weapons permit” or an exemption (membership from a Collectors’ Organisation) to purchase a sword. Please scan or photograph your membership card or certificate along with a valid photo ID and email them to us so that we can proceed with sending your order. For customers in South Australia, please confirm whether you qualify as an exempt person, such as a "Collector," before purchasing a katana. 

Please note: age verification is not required for wooden sword orders.

State laws change regularly; it is impossible for us to give exact information regarding the legal status of items in every State. Please contact your local State Police Department and ask them for specific information regarding the ownership of items you wish to purchase.
