2. Informational purpose only

Content on this Site — including reviews, industry news, how-to guides, and product information — is published for general informational and entertainment purposes.

If you post a comment, submit a newsletter signup, or otherwise provide content to the Site, you represent that the content is your own (or you have the right to share it) and does not violate any law, infringe any third party's rights, or contain unlawful, harassing, defamatory, or sexually explicit material. By submitting content, you grant Guns & Gear HQ a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute that content in connection with operating the Site.
