Participants are solely responsible for determining and complying with all laws applicable to their possession, transportation, storage, handling, and use of firearms, ammunition, and related equipment.
2. FIREARMS TRAINING SERVICES
UTT provides firearms-related education and training services that may include classroom instruction, private instruction, group instruction, firearms safety education, firearms handling instruction, marksmanship instruction, and other educational services described for a particular course.
UTT's Services are educational in nature. Participation in a course does not guarantee any particular level of skill, proficiency, qualification, certification, licensing outcome, examination result, or performance.
Course content, instructors, schedules, locations, equipment requirements, and other course details may vary by course.
UTT reserves the right to modify course content, instructors, schedules, locations, or other aspects of a Service when reasonably necessary.
3. THIRD-PARTY RANGE AND TRAINING LOCATIONS
UTT may conduct training at privately owned, publicly accessible, commercial, or otherwise third-party shooting ranges or training facilities.

Participants are solely responsible for ensuring that any firearm and ammunition they bring or use are lawfully possessed and appropriate and compatible for the intended use.
UTT may inspect, restrict, or prohibit the use of any firearm, ammunition, accessory, or equipment that an instructor reasonably determines to be unsafe, unsuitable, damaged, malfunctioning, incompatible, or otherwise inappropriate for the course.
UTT may provide firearms, ammunition, equipment, or other training materials for certain courses. Any UTT-owned or third-party-owned equipment remains the property of its respective owner and may only be used as authorized.
