— LEGAL & COMPLIANCE

TERMS & CONDITIONS

Please read these terms and conditions carefully before placing an order with Prepper World.

Strict Age Verification Policy (Offensive Weapons Act 2019)

Under UK legislation, it is an offence to sell knives, axes, and bladed articles to anyone under the age of 18. By purchasing a bladed article from Prepper World, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age and consent to our mandatory age verification checks at checkout and upon delivery.

1. Introduction & Company Information

Welcome to Prepper World (trading as prepnowuk.com). These terms and conditions govern your use of our website and the purchase of goods from our online store. By browsing or purchasing from our site, you agree to be bound by these terms.

We are a UK-based business dedicated to providing authentic bushcraft, tactical equipment, survival supplies, and military surplus gear.

2. Age Verification & Bladed Goods

We strictly comply with the Criminal Justice Act 1988 and the Offensive Weapons Act 2019:

  • All orders containing bladed items undergo automated age verification through verified electoral roll and credit agency data.
  • Orders that fail automated verification require manual government photo ID upload (Passport or UK Driving Licence) before dispatch.
  • All deliveries of bladed items require an adult signature upon delivery. Couriers will not deliver to parcel lockers, unattended porches, or minors.

3. Product Information & Pricing

We take every reasonable step to ensure product descriptions, imagery, specifications, and pricing are accurate. However, slight variations in military surplus condition, leather patina, and wood grain are natural and part of the gear’s authentic character.

All prices are listed in Pounds Sterling (£ GBP) and include VAT where applicable. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout.

4. Ordering & Contract Formation

When you place an order on our site, you will receive an automated order confirmation email. This email acknowledges receipt of your order but does not constitute acceptance. A binding sales contract is formed only when your order has been verified, packed, and dispatched from our UK warehouse.

5. Delivery & Risk of Loss

We deliver across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Free UK shipping is provided on all orders over £50. Risk of loss and damage to goods passes to you once the carrier delivers the package to your nominated address.

6. 30-Day Cancellation & Returns

In addition to your statutory rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, we offer a 30-day return window. You may return any unused item in its original condition and packaging within 30 days of receipt for a full refund or exchange.

7. Warranty & Defective Goods

All brand new items carry their full manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and craftsmanship. If an item arrives damaged or develops a fault under normal outdoor use, contact our team immediately for replacement or repair.

8. Governing Law

These terms and conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes arising in connection with these terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
