Only those visitors to our site who have browsers with the capability to interpret privacy policies using the standards developed through the Platform for Privacy Preferences Project (P3P) will be able to detect this machine readable privacy policy.

ARMOR SALES: |
| It is against Federal Law for a person convicted of a violent felony to purchase or possess body armor.

By purchasing body armor, you acknowledge and certify that (i) you have no felony convictions, (ii) you have not been convicted of any other crime that would restrict your ability to purchase or possess body armor under any Federal or State law, (iii) you do not intend to use the body armor for any criminal purpose and (iv) you are over 18 years old. American Xross Trend, Inc. reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse to sell body armor to any person. Additionally, the sale of body armor to residents of Connecticut is restricted to in-person sales, unless the sale is made to certain law enforcement or military personnel. We require that all orders of body armor be accompanied by a government issued photo identification.
