Terms of Service

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using slapEFT ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, do not use the Service.

These Terms constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and slapEFT ("we," "us," or "our").

We may modify these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

2. Description of Service

slapEFT provides a digital conversion service that:

• Accepts uploaded images of completed FD-258 fingerprint cards
• Extracts and processes fingerprint images
• Generates EFT (Electronic Fingerprint Transmission) files in ANSI/NIST-ITL format
• Delivers EFT files suitable for upload to ATF eForms

We do not collect your fingerprints. You provide already-completed fingerprint cards which you obtained elsewhere (law enforcement, UPS, self-inking, etc.).

3. Eligibility

• Be at least 18 years of age
• Be legally permitted to possess NFA items in your jurisdiction
• Have legal authority to submit fingerprints for the person whose prints are on the card
• Not be prohibited from receiving services from a US-based company

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet all eligibility requirements.

4. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the Service only for lawful purposes. Acceptable uses include:

• Converting your own fingerprint cards for ATF eForm submission
• Converting fingerprint cards for family members with their consent
• Converting fingerprint cards for NFA trust beneficiaries you represent
• Converting fingerprint cards for customers if you operate a gun shop (Shop Queue feature)

Your Responsibilities

Refunds ARE available if:

• Technical failure prevents generation of a valid EFT file
• The generated file is rejected by ATF eForms due to our error

Refunds are NOT available if:

Your Content

You retain ownership of your fingerprint images and personal information. By uploading content, you grant us a limited license to process it solely for providing the Service.
