- B&T Industries LLC demonstrates pride taken in customer satisfaction by a multi-step process to ensure all orders are complete, securely packaged and shipped appropriately. The employees selected for our Shipping Team embody our ethos of R.A.H. (Responsibility, Accountability and Honesty) in securing those positions. In part, our standard procedure includes a two-person, independent verification process to ensure ALL items on the order are included in the package(s) and initialed. We take this responsibility seriously, which attributes to a high success rate in our Shipping Department and makes UCCIO reports extremely rare. As such:
- Any Retailer that reports an UCCIO will be made whole with the first occurrence notated on their account
- A three-person verification process will be implemented to ensure ALL items on future orders are complete, securely packaged and shipped appropriately for the duration of our business relationship
- Any Retailer that reports a second UCCIO will be made whole for the final time
- Any Retailer that reports a third UCCIO will not be made whole as it is the position of B&T that the cause of the repeated UCCIO report is beyond our responsibility
- Our three-person verification process will remain in place

In addition, the Retailer shall bear all costs and expenses of returning the Products, and all risk of loss until the Products are received by B&T at the address set forth above or at such other location as B&T shall have designated for such return.

Exhibit “B” – Counterfeits
- B&T is actively pursuing those who produce Counterfeit, Copy, Fake or Knockoff (C.C.F.K.) B&T products and those who sell them. Any organization or individual producing or selling (C.C.F.K.) products threatens U.S. businesses and robs hard-working Americans of their jobs, which negatively impacts the economy. (C.C.F.K.) goods can also pose public health and safety risks for consumers. B&T works closely with the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI to identify companies or individuals engaged in either producing or selling (C.C.F.K.) B&T Products. We encourage all Retailers to educate themselves of the difference between an authentic B&T product and a (C.C.F.K.). B&T has available information on our website to assist in your identification of such products. This information is located in our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section, under the heading Atlas Bipod, titled “How do I tell if I have an authentic Atlas Bipod or a Counterfeit?” We request that you bring to our attention any source or organization actively selling B&T Counterfeit, Copy, or Fake (C.C.F.K.) products in an effort to capture those parties and bring them to justice.
- Please be aware, not only is it illegal to bring in those goods to the U.S., or use of a trademark without proper authorization, but it is also illegal to sell those goods. Under the Lanham Act, selling, offering for sale, distributing, or advertising any goods that are counterfeit is a violation of the law. If we determine any of our Authorized Retailers are offering (C.C.F.K.) B&T Products we will revoke your Retailership and report the same to the FBI and DHS for investigation. These organizations making or selling (C.C.F.K.) products are a threat to both B&T and its Retailers. Locating and putting an end to this criminal activity is mutually beneficial. Please help us fight this blight and preserve the American Dream!
