Terms of Service
Last Updated: November 24, 2025
Agreement to Terms
By accessing TactiCoolGear.com, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you disagree with any part of these terms, do not use this website. These terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the site.
What TactiCoolGear.com Is
TactiCoolGear.com is a gear recommendation and research platform. We aggregate community consensus from trusted tactical forums and present vetted gear recommendations organized by category and price tier.
We are NOT:
- • A retailer or store (we don't sell products)
- • Manufacturer representatives
- • Professional gear advisors or consultants
- • Responsible for product performance or safety
We are data analysts, not operators. Our recommendations reflect community consensus, not personal endorsements.
Affiliate Disclosure
TactiCoolGear.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means:
- Commission earnings: When you click our links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission from Amazon, eBay, ShareASale, AuctionMapper, and other affiliate networks.
- No extra cost to you: You pay the same price. The retailer pays us a small percentage.
- Editorial independence: Commissions do NOT influence our recommendations. We recommend gear based on community consensus and objective data.
Full Transparency: If a product appears on The Grid, it's because the community vetted it—not because we're paid to promote it. Affiliate revenue keeps the site running, but it doesn't determine what makes the list.
No Warranties or Guarantees
Use at Your Own Risk
TactiCoolGear.com provides gear recommendations for informational purposes only. We make NO WARRANTIES about:
- Product quality - Manufacturers control quality, not us
- Suitability - What works for one user may not work for you
- Safety - Always follow manufacturer instructions and training
- Accuracy - Product specs, availability, and pricing may change
- Website uptime - We strive for reliability but can't guarantee 100% uptime
Medical Gear Disclaimer
CRITICAL NOTICE:
Medical gear recommendations (IFAKs, tourniquets, trauma kits) are for informational purposes only. Proper training is mandatory. Do NOT rely on gear alone. Take a TCCC, Stop the Bleed, or equivalent course from qualified instructors. We are not medical professionals. Improper use of medical equipment can cause serious injury or death.
