USE and APPLICATION:

CovertCarrier® Products are designed with single stack, essentially right angled or "squared off," narrow handled semi-automatic pistols in mind. To ensure the best utility possible for our product line, users should limit their deployment of the Add-On Fastener, Universal Sleeve, or our Grip Panel Replacement to weapons that are best described as pocket, sub-compact or small, semi-automatic handguns.

Items sold by CovertCarrier Inc. are NOT intended for any use or manner of use, other than those which are specifically articulated on the written pages of this web site; or, that have been memorialized in any publication authored or authorized for publication by Covert Carrier Inc.

LARGE and SMALL Universal Sleeves are not designed for multiple handgun usage; they are designed for single handgun usage. Covert Carrier does not recommend, nor will it warranty sleeves that are removed from one gun and then placed on another. The EPDM rubber WILL develop a memory and transfer from one handgun to another has the potential for causing the sleeve to fail.

WRITTEN INQUIRIES:

Please direct all inquiries to our mailing address or e-mail address. Packages which are sent to CovertCarrier® Inc., should be identified with a complete name and address. Also, include a daytime telephone number and a brief description of the problem and your specific concern. Please note that any and ALL costs associated with the shipment of a product BACK to CovertCarrier® Inc., for evaluation and/or replacement are the sole responsibility of the customer.

INSTALLATION:

In the case of work done by Covert Carrier Inc., its agents or assigns, on a removable grip plate or panel for the after-market installation of a stainless steel fastener, Covert Carrier Inc., shall be liable for no more than the fair market value or, retail cost of a similar, replacement grip plate or panel. *Effective September 2006 the charge for installation(s) of the Add-On Fastener to any handgun panel, will be $25.00.

FASTNER PAINT:

The developers of CovertCarrier® intended that the stainless steel fasteners be painted in a dark shadow color such as black. The user may choose a different color based on need. In any event, in order for the metal of the carrier's fastener to properly adhere to the rubber sleeve, the stainless steel must be free of paint or any other surface barrier prior to the bonding agent being applied to the steel surface. On occasion the black paint, applied after the rubber and steel are joined, may peal or wear off.

CovertCarrier® suggests that a black permanent marker be used to cover any portion of the fastener where the stainless steel becomes exposed. Paint on the stainless steel fastener is not covered under our warranty.

METAL FASTENER:

CovertCarrier® is committed to personal and environmental safety. We recycle our metal fasteners for continued use. In the event that a product is returned, it must be accompanied with the original metal fastener, or our guarantee will not be honoured. We will inspect and evaluate the return and whenever possible the stainless steel fastener will be reused; however, it will only be used when we have satisfied ourselves that both the metal and the fastener are fit for reuse.

UNIVERSAL SLEEVES:

Sleeves are designed for use on a single handgun. The installation and removal of the sleeve from one handgun to another is discouraged and not appropriate for this type of application. Repeat installation and removal will, overtime, casuse the EPDM Rubber to fail. Individuals that purchase a Universal Sleeve and fail to adhere to this "single handgun" policy will void our replacement warranty.
