TERMS OF USE
The gentlemen's agreement between Boom-Fun! Industries and every household that orders from our catalog.
The authoritative Terms of Use for all Specific Industries properties is maintained at specificindustries.com. That document governs all usage and customer relationships across the Specific Industries portfolio, including this site. See also: Privacy Policy.
Terms in effect since the spring of 1961. Revised occasionally when Harland feels strongly about something.
1. Agreement to Terms
By ordering any Boom-Fun! product, you enter into the standard Boom-Fun! customer relationship. This is a gentleman's agreement. There is no formal contract. We expect you to behave like an American.
2. Ordering
Orders are accepted by return mail, by the Boom-Fun! Club order blank in “The Fuse,” or by telephone at the main Toledo switchboard (Toledo Central 4-5500). We accept personal checks, money orders, and (in limited cases) cash taped securely to a piece of cardboard.
3. Shipping
We ship every order from our Toledo, Ohio facility within twelve business days of receipt. Orders ship via Railway Express or the Post Office, at our discretion. Ground shipping is available to all forty-eight states. Hawaii and Alaska may require additional time and are not currently states.
4. Returns
Unused Boom-Fun! products may be returned within thirty days for a full refund, provided the product is still in its original condition. Products that have been detonated, deployed, fishing-tested, triggered, or otherwise used as intended may not be returned.
5. Warranty
Boom-Fun! products carry the full Boom-Fun! Guarantee: every product works at least once, exactly as described in the catalog, barring obvious user error. Products that fail to work at least once may be exchanged. Products that have worked once and are now gone are considered to have fulfilled their warranty.
6. Liability
Boom-Fun! is not responsible for: property damage beyond the item being detonated; personal injury to members of the household who did not read Sparky's Handbook; injury to household pets, lawn statuary, or prize shrubs; temporary hearing changes; permanent hearing changes; disputes between neighbors arising from mailbox-related events; or the feelings of relatives who were not invited to the birthday party.
7. Permitted Uses
Boom-Fun! products are intended for celebratory, recreational, and light landscaping purposes only. They are not intended for: professional demolitions, use at your place of employment, use on municipal property, use on federal property, use on property belonging to a school board, or any use that would require the word “permit.”
8. Age Restrictions
Boom-Fun! products are designed for Americans of all ages. However, we recommend that customers under the age of seven ask an adult to handle the fuse-lighting step. Any adult will do. The mailman is an adult.
9. Modifications
Please do not modify Boom-Fun! products. Our engineering department has considered each design carefully, and modifications rarely improve the product. If you believe a modification would improve a product, please write to us. If the idea is good, we will add it to the catalog and name the improvement after you.
10. Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio and by the general understanding that reasonable Americans can work things out without involving the courts. Disputes should first be addressed by written correspondence. Harland will read every letter personally.
