REASONS
FOR POLICIES: Welcome to Lone Star Consulting, Inc.! Thank you for
contacting us for your high-tech needs. These are our official Policies webpages.
Others of our Policies are stated on our other webpages, almost all relevant
to particular device-type descriptions, applying for devices, shipping, payments,
emails, etc. All of our Policies immediately and fully apply to all purchases
from us and to any and all other contacts with us, Lone Star Consulting, Inc.,
while you are on our website and after you leave our website, and while you
are emailing or phoning us and after completion of your email and phone call
(voice only, no texting)l to us, to all future actions you take relevant to
Lone Star Consulting, Inc. To Opt-Out of any or all of our Policies, see Note
4 below. The hotlink to our Online Catalog and Sitemap are at top of page.
Why do you
have so many detailed Policies? All shops and stores have Policies
- some very comprehensive and detailed. When you walk into a shop or store,
you automatically fully respect the Policies of the shop or store, without first
having to sign an agreement at the door of that business or to even read their
Policies. Think of us as your friendly Online Customized Devices shop and specialty
store you are walking into. Today's overly-legalistic business environment requires
complex and detailed Policies. Some Policies are required to be stated by law
- not just by us but by all sellers of devices or services. Almost all businesses
have good and bad customers. With us, a small minority of our Clients (about
5%) turn out to be Bad Clients. About 95% are our Good Clients; many contracting
with us for future devices or services as well. We make few mistakes, but when
we do, we own up to them. Most of our Bad Clients love to rip-off successful
legitimate businesses using many types of rip-offs, including frauds, stealing
products, entrapment, and extortion - often exploiting loopholes in business
Policies. Some Bad Clients do this to get our devices for free or at much lower
cost by using fraud or by treating us like a free lending library for devices
(since all of our devices are new, customized and unique, costing us much time
and money to create, and we cannot resell returned devices or used devices,
therefore, we cannot refund functional returned devices without very good reason).
Nor devices that were misused or abused by the Client. Other Bad Clients try
to injure us: (1) Wanna-be competitors, and (2) In the case of our mind control
countermeasures and detection devices and our energy devices, some are perps
who hate us for helping protect their victims. When you buy just about anything
today - product or service - it is virtually always accompanied by some long,
detailed set of official contract provisions, disclaimers, qualifications, other
Policies. Even simple stuff often requires many pages of Policies. Most common
products have stupid Policies (eg: "Do not use for drying pets" -
a microwave oven warning
label) - there only because the firm was sued by one of its now-rich bad customers.
The greater the number, variety and complexity of the products and services
sold - the more Policies are usually required. We offer 100s of different products
and services, mostly high-tech. Also, since some of our Customized Devices (CD)
are controversial - they offend rich, powerful and ruthless interests (eg: electronic
attacks and mind control attack perps, energy barons, wanna-be competitors,
corrupt politicians/bureaucrats, etc.) eager to find any excuse to fine us or
put us out of business to promote their own agendas. We cannot leave even small
Policy loopholes for crooks to jump thru. We must try to cover all of our bases
by posting detailed Policies. As business people, we don't like to write-up
extensive detailed Policies any more than you, as our Client or prospective
Client, likes to read them. Even an abuse of only 1% can heavily damage - even
destroy - a legitimate business with 99% satisfied Clients. Unprevented, such
abuses force businesses to go out of business or to charge more to their Good
Clients as the "cost of doing business" to pay for rip-off losses.
Our long, detailed Policies are designed to both save us grief and to save our
Good Clients money. Our extensive, detailed polices are never intended to be
unfriendly or personally insulting in any way to our Good Clients.
We very much appreciate your business and value you as a Good Client by doing
our best to provide you excellent products and services. Thank you very
much for your business. May you have the best of successes in all that you do.
We sincerely intend to do an excellent job for you so that you return to us
for your future needs, and spread the good word about us. Again, thank you!
- John Williams, M.S.E.E., President
OUR MOTTO: "We
Strive to Provide Our Good Clients with
The Best Devices and Services We Reasonably Can
To Exceed or at least Meet Every Client Specification,
To Fulfill All of YOUR Customized Devices Needs
Now and into The Future. Thank YOU for YOUR Business!"
- John Williams, President, Lone Star Consulting, Inc.
WARNING TO HACKERS, PERPS AND
OTHER CRIMINALS!
All other companies we know of are reckless with their security,
store their client, financial and proprietary data on their vulnerable systems
or "in the cloud", sell and/or share their client's most personal
and private data with their "global partners" (eg: China) - thereby
severely endangering both their clients and themselves. WE
DO NONE OF THESE THINGS! We have no "global partners" and we
do not store on any of our Online computers any data our Clients provide us,
nor any research, plans, designs or circuit diagrams for any device-type we
offer or may offer, nor any of our personnel, personal, private or financial
data. Nor do we store any of our data at any physical address of Lone Star Consulting,
Inc. WE PROTECT OURSELVES AND OUR CLIENTS FROM PERPS.
OFFICIAL NOTICE: By attempting to hack or otherwise invade us, you fully agree
without any qualifications or reservations to all of the following: (1) To pay
us $1 million ($1M) for each and every hacking or invasion attempt, whether
successful or not, PLUS all actual injuries to us caused directly or indirectly
by your hacking or invasion attempt, PLUS all of our direct and indirect costs
trying to track you down, bring you to justice, and collect your debt to us,
PLUS likely severe punitive damages, PLUS all accrued interest on your unpaid
balance (your accrued interest on all outstanding debts to us
(eg: debts not paid within 30 days of your hacking or invasion attempt) is 1.5%
per month on your unpaid balance, compounded daily). (2) To notify us
in writing all details of your hacking or invasion attempt within 10 days of
each attempt, and if we do not receive your notification within 10 days, to
pay us an additional $10M + interest for each hacking or invasion attempt we
have not received notification about within 10 days of the attempt. (3) For
us to use any method we deem necessary to track you down and obtain justice.
(4) To forever totally waive, forego and abandon any and all forms of defenses,
immunitities and statutes of limitation you believe you may be entitled to.
(5) To also fully accept and apply (1) thru (4) herein relevant to any of our
Good Clients and/or our personnel, if any, who you also tried to injure in your
hacking or invasion attempt, should our Good Client and/or personnel choose
to take legal action against you on a personal basis, and we will do our reasonable
best to provide such a Good Client or personnel all the data we have on you
for their cases.
FOR OUR PRIVACY POLICIES => Who We Are + Privacy Policies + HTTPS Fallacies
NOTE 1: CONTAGIONS POLICY: For decades, we have been and are wearing plastic gloves, caps, safety eyewear, and dust-filter face masks, and wiping down tools and parts with alcohol and frequently - long before Covid-19. Since before March 1, 2020, we have been and are also wearing anti-viral face masks, and observance of social distancing and hand washing. If one of us has anything contagious - even just a common cold - he/she is not allowed to enter any work area or handle anything work-related. We also wipe down all outgoing and incoming devices, equipment, tools, parts and materials. Most other companies ignore safety precautions or apply them lightly - leaving you and your loved ones at great risk. Keeping things clean and sanitized protects both our Clients and us, and clean devices, parts, tools and equipment usually result in better-functioning and longer-lasting devices than dirty ones. We are here to try to help people - not to add to their life's hassles. For your own safety, please observe face masks, gloves, protective eyewear, social distancing and handwashing as much as you can. While nothing is 100% foolproof, the entire point is to reduce the probability of getting sick as much as one can reasonably do.
NOTE 2: "Customized Devices" means
exactly what it says. Our CD designs are almost always unique in both design
and layout (not off-the-shelf or over-the-counter hardware; see below for multiple-item
exception to uniqueness), often innovative (ie: nonstandard and nontraditional),
custom hand-crafted (not assembly line or mass produced), and are of an artistic-techno
and experimental nature, and done to include any and all Client-unique and customized
specifications the best we reasonably can. All of our electronic components
(eg: ICs, transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, switches, displays,
etc.) are new and unused. We do our best to also use only new and unused for
all other parts, materials and accessories of our devices; however, some of
these that we require may no longer be available, are ultra costly, and/or are
flimsy or defective as new, but we can get them in excellent conditions and
often better quality used (we always verify condition before applying). Further,
we at Lone Star Consulting, Inc. may use parts and materials in innovative ways
for which they were not originally intended (eg: using wood dowels as a RF coil
forms, copper tubing to make antennas, etc.), many of which you may also see
in electronic design, amateur radio, robotics and modeling publications and
websites - innovations which we have tested to reliably perform well for our
uses. We do this to save you high tooling charges and unnecessary delays which
otherwise might result to shop-make or obtain from commercial sources costly,
highly specialized, time-consuming and/or hard-to-find parts and materials,
to save you much money and prevent or minimize delays. And sometimes there is
no known commercially standard part/material for that component value or type
at any price (eg: our very flat ACSAR antennas described on our index.html webpage
to access slots and between dense PC boards). We use nonstandard and hand-crafted
parts and materials only where we believe that they will save you much money
and time while providing improved or at least equivalent performance to the
expensive, rare or non-existent factory-made part. Note that in any project
using possibly 100s of parts, parts in common with our other similar projects
may substantially differ because of the custom-made and uniqueness attributes
of our CD projects and Client specifications, and the specific and unique characteristics
of the parts themselves. This does not imply that even where the parts are identical
that the designs or layouts supporting the parts are also identical to our similar
previously implemented projects, because we custom-select, custom-modify and
custom-tune our CD devices to individually optimize each implementation.
All parts have physical
tolerances (eg: a 1K ohm, 5% resistor may be 950 ohms or 1050 ohms and still
be in spec), and because tolerance errors tend to add up, in many cases you
can build two circuits using exactly all the same parts with each circuit producing
substantially different performances as common with mass-produced electronic
devices. We hand select and fine-tune our parts to produce the optimum results.
The actual parts and materials we select may even vary greatly from those described
in our device-type descriptions to improve device performance. Our goal is always
to meet or exceed every Client specification. We do our reasonable best to optimize
device performances, which usually means that even where various sections may
be intended to be identical, to obtain the highest optimum performances, there
will likely be substantial differences in the parts and materials used, how
the adjustable parts are adjusted, and how parts and materials are laid out
and installed. For example, many transistors of the same part # vary widely
in their actual electronic properties, so we usually hand-test and select only
those in our supply which provide the best performances, and then individually
select their bias resistors for optimum performances. In contrast, mass producers
of electronic equipment rarely optimize their "identical" circuit
sections, intentionally program in defects and obsolescence to force you to
pay for replacements - that is why their devices often have poor lifetimes,
poor, unreliable and inconsistent performances, deteriorate and break fairly
easily and fast (often over a 25-cent proprietary part), and require costly
repairs and replacements.
NOTE 3: We are in business to serve
you and we sincerely want you to return to us for your every CD need. Therefore,
we try our best to reasonably price our CDs, test them thoroughly, and provide
them to you fully functional and as fast as we reasonably can. Typical of specialty
labs and shops that use highly qualified and experienced craftsman like us to
design and create unique, customized, handmade and hand-tuned Made-In-America
devices, our devices are of course going to cost more than mass-produced devices
by Pacific Rim countries using child or near-slave labor. So that we can most
clearly understand your CD needs and properly estimate for them, we cannot assure
you that we can do your CD, nor provide you our Time and Cost Estimates (T&C
Estimates), nor work on your CD project until we receive from you your properly
completed Customized Devices Application Form (CDAF - green link at top of our
webpages) and we analyze all known factors involved (eg: CD design, cost and
availabilities of all parts, our scheduling), and if we can do your CD project,
provide you our T&C Estimates. Since all CD projects are unique and customized,
we cannot know in advance all that is required to do any CD project nor the
costs and availabilities of all required specialized equipment and tools, if
any (for about 99% of our CD projects, all of the equipment and tools we need
we already have - nothing specialized is needed), nor the costs and availabilities
of all parts and materials we will need*, which will occasionally vary substantially,
so our T&C Estimates may significantly deviate from the actual time to completion
and actual costs. Our Cost Estimate includes the CD project itself plus all
S/H to ship it to you upon successful completion and final testing. We highly
concentrate on doing the Client's CD project the very best we we can reasonably
do (with speed as our secondary goal). We do not do our final accounting until
a CD project is successfully completed (including full Final Testing), unless
there is involved a cancellation, major mid-project modification, or rare inability
to successfully complete (eg: due to catastrophe or major unexpected event))
issue.
*Our CD projects are
now almost always require 50 - 5,000 parts and materials. Typically, about 90%
of all parts and materials we will need, we already have on hand in substantial
quantities because we have access to a huge inventory of parts and materials
that was built up for decades when their costs were far cheaper than today's
costs (you would pay much more to those outfits which keep little/ nothing in
stock, and must buy most/all at today's prices), so what we have on hand is
available and of known cost, so that portion of the T&C Estimates involving
them is almost always predictable. However, typically for about 10% of all needed
parts/materials, because all of our CD projects are unique and customized, we
sometimes run out of a part/material, and new parts/materials with better features
often come out, so we need to buy some new parts/materials at today's prices
and availabilities, which can then significantly impact our final T&C Estimates.
Note that these same factors impact even more our "Last Made" rough
costs estimates found in the Descriptions of all of our Device-Types, even more
so, because a "Last Made" cost may refer to a device we made 5 days
ago or 5 years ago (pre-Covid 19, supply chain snafus, parts/materials used
then but now discontinued, and today's inflationary spikes).
All of our devices are
non-fungible devices because our devices are so unique, customized and handmade,
they cannot be interchanged with any other device or other asset, even of the
same device-type with exactly the same Client specifications, features and functions.
We never intentionally make any device to be exactly the same as any other device,
as opposed to assembly line devices. Even where our circuit design is exactly
the same, to optimize a mechanical and/or electronic device, unlike typical
assembly line operations, we fine-tune its parts and materials to compensate
for individual variations in their properties that may occur well within their
individual tolerance specifications. For our devices, its User Manual also serves
as the device's Certificate of Authenticity.
Due to the great number,
uniqueness and possible variations of our CD devices, and the usual large number
of required individual parts and materials required by our CDs (which typically
run into 100s), and design changes and tweeks to improve performance, reduce
size and cost, etc., much effort is usually involved even for some relatively
"simple" projects. While almost all of the parts we require are usually
commonly available from stock we have guaranteed access to, our devices sometimes
require a part(s) that is not found to be available when we need it, in which
case we will likely attempt to fabricate it, but if not a project delay may
result (usually of a few days) until the part(s) becomes available or, if possible,
we change our design (some parts may be only sporadically or randomly available;
in rarer cases, a specific part(s) may be critical to the design, and if we
cannot obtain or fabricate the part(s) or reasonably change our design, then
the specified CD device cannot of course be done). And while we like to get
our CD devices to our Clients at top speed, if we are locked into other earlier
projects, our time estimates may vary between even similar CDs. All of these
factors can cause variations of what we can offer, to whom we can offer it to,
at what price, and when it will be available. Therefore, we assume no liability
for a lack of a pattern, continuity or repeatability associated with any aspect
of our business operation, including but not limited to device design and layout,
and caused by any reason. Further, we can make device-type or service-type availability,
webpage, description and price changes (prices associated with device types
are rough ballpark figures anyway and do not include special customizations)
at any time and without prior public notice or liability - unless we are contracturally
locked into a specific description, specifications and estimated time and cost.
For example, if you order Device-type A from us and it takes us N days to ship
it, and then you later order another Device-type A, we cannot guarantee that
we can provide the second one to you, and if we can, it may take less or more
than N days to ship it, it may be priced less or more than your previous one,
and while both are optimized and function very similarly, it will most likely
be designed and/or laid out differently and uniquely. If you
need more than one CD device, it is almost always better to submit CDAFs for
each of them all at once (see our multiple devices Policies below). If
you need a device but want to postpone contracting for it, please be advised,
we cannot guarantee later availabilities
(NOTE: if your delay is for financial reasons,
we will seriously consider items for trade (especially new small electronic
parts, new or used electronic test equipment, new special materials, new or
used precision/machinist/electronic tools) as part or all payment for the required
1/3rd non-refundable down payment, or for the balance of your CD project, or
for both the down payment and balance (balance must be paid off
within 90 days unless we agree in writing for a longer period; shipment immediately
after balance is paid and cleared; near bottom of this page has payment details).
Payment Methods)
NOTE 4: The types of Customized Device (CD) projects we can handle are vast, especially electronic devices, but not infinite. To provide you the most cost effective CD device we reasonably can do, due to the very high specializations required by some CDs, and especially in cases where specialized test equipment and/or skills are required, we will contract or subcontract out for parts, special materials, subassemblies and/or assemblies, and/or rarely for the designs (if you are interested in becoming a contractor or subcontractor for us or supplying us these items or electronic test equipment, see sections of this on our Policies webpages). Each CD device we make or modify is hand-crafted and/or hand-modified and optimally tuned by us (we don't use mindless robotic assemblers) and/or by our contractors/subcontractors, thus individual variations are common and expected even for devices with subsections which have the same or very similar designs, layouts, parts, materials or functions. Each device and device subsection we make or modify is the uniquely customized, handmade artistic-techno and creative expression of its maker or modifier. NOTE: We fully protect Client confidentiality at all times before, during and after all CD project steps. Period. Typically, we design the CD device. Our contractors then do most of the fabrication of the CD device. We install their circuit board(s) into the enclosure (if a unique enclosure is provided by the Client), then we add the few final electronic and mechanical parts required to make the CD device functional (all CD devices provided to us by our contractors are intentionally provided to us 100% non-functional - we make them fully functional), we thoroughly test the completed device, we make whatever needed tuning, corrections and/or other changes to the circuit(s) and/or enclosure(s) and retest all corrections and changes. We then label the enclosure(s), and then coat or spray the CD device inside and out with a clear protective coating (to protect it from water, dust, chemicals, vibrations and aging). We then write up the User Manual. We then include the User Manual and whatever cabling and/or accessories are required with the CD Device. We then ship all to the Client.
NOTE 5: OPTING OUT OF ANY OF OUR POLICIES: You may apply to opt-out of any or all of the Policies described on this website only under all of the following conditions: (i) You provide to us a clear, written Opt-Out Request, in writing (email, or First Class USPS Mail), specifically and completely stating all of the Policies stated herein that you wish to opt out of PRIOR to contacting, ordering, buying (ie: paying us for all or part of the price of an item) or submitting your CDAF to us; or if you are a current or past Client and we have published a new or modified Policy which can in any way apply to you or our business between us within 30 days of us first publishing the possibly applicable new or modified Policy. (ii) Your Opt-Out Request must come by itself and not as part-of or included with any other statement or paperwork, and must clearly state the Policy(ies) you wish to opt-out of. (iii) You then await for our written response acknowledging our receipt of your Opt-Out Request, agreeing to the opt-out (if our response lacks this explicit written agreement, your opt-out is not approved), and our permission to you to proceed with your contact, order, purchase and/or CDAF submission; our written response may require you to answer questions relevant to your reasons for contacting us and your intentions with us (while we will not unreasonably deny any Opt-Out Request, if an Opt-Out Request seems unreasonable to us, we may then refuse to do business with you), and we may apply time and other conditions to granting your opt-out. (iv) Only after you receive our clear and explicit written response agreeing to your Opt-Out Reques and granting you permission to order, you then place your order, purchase, CDAF submission and/or complaint with us. Note: All of our Policies which applied to you before we granted you an opt-out for those Policies still fully apply to all of your activities relevant to us up until the date we agree to your opt-out, if we agree to it. And all of our Policies that you were not opted-out of will continue uninterrupted. If you went ahead with your project, purchase, CDAF submission or other transaction with us without being opted-out of any current Policy (even if recently new or modified), then the current Policy fully applies uninterrupted. All of our Policies that we have not timely opted you out for fully apply uninterrupted. If you have not been opted-out relevant to a past project, product, service or other interaction with us within 30 days of the first publishing of possibly applicable new or modified Policy, the new or modified Policy fully applies uninterrupted.
TERMINOLOGY: The terms, "you", "yours", and "person" found herein refer exclusively to any person or other entity (past, present and future) who inquires about or obtains a Lone Star Consulting, Inc. product or service from any source or by any means, or who inquires about Lone Star Consulting, Inc. or any of its personnel, and includes, but is not limited to, all Lone Star Consulting, Inc. Clients. The terms, "we", "our", and "us" found herein refer to LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC., all of which also collectively and individually refer to all of its officers, employees, agents, predecessors, successors and assigns. Unless these terms are used in a context that clearly also include you, these terms do no include you. The terms, "he", "his" and "him" are used in their generic senses only, and equally apply to both to males and females, and mean the same as "you" and "yours". "CD" means Customized Devices, and "CDAF" means Customized Devices Application Form; unless otherwise noted or clear from text meaning, all Policies referring to CDs equally refer to our Technical Life Coaching (TLC), and to our Website Design Services (WDS). "Client" is an all-inclusive term which refers herein to anyone who is a customer or Client to Lone Star Consulting, Inc. in any ordinary sense, and it also refers to anyone else and to any other entity (eg: business, institution, non-profit, government, etc.) else which buys or trades with us, and it also refers to anyone else and any other entity else which directly or indirectly obtains from us or expects us to provide a product, service or information (even if we do not charge for it, and even if no or partial payment for it is received by us). Any where we use the term, "customer" or similar, it means "Client" as we define "Client" herein. All of these terms include, but are certainly not limited to, all of LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. past, present and future customers and Clients.
NOTICE ABOUT ONLINE TAXES: The number of U.S. and foreign federal, state, county, local and other jurisdictions collecting Online taxes is expected to rapidly increase in the near future. Online taxes where now required are now substantial in some jurisdictions, and likely to increase. Therefore, whether or not your jurisdiction is now collecting Online taxes, this is the time to buy from us before these jurisdictions will require you to pay them or more for them. If and when you become liable to pay taxes for your Online purchases, it is totally your responsibility to contact your taxing jurisdiction(s) and timely pay all such taxes due of you. We are a small business, so we simply cannot keep track of the 1,000s of jurisdictions that may tax Online sales, so please do not ask us specific questions about your possible tax liabilities. We have posted this notice only because some jurisdictions now require such notices; we are against Online taxation, and we do not benefit even one dime from your taxes; so please do not blame us for Online taxes.
FREE UPGRADE POLICIES: AS A COMPLIMENTARY SERVICE TO OUR CLIENTS, FREE UPGRADE IS CONSIDERED WHEN AFTER COMPLETION OF A CD DEVICE (within 90 days), WE REALIZE THROUGH OUR OWN RESEARCH OR THAT OF OUR CLIENT THAT A BETTER PART, CIRCUIT DESIGN AND/OR LAYOUT IS REASONABLY AVAILABLE. The way we design most of our circuits, we usually can relatively easily and quickly make substantial upgrades and modifications. We offer free upgrade opportunities for our Good Clients because Client satisfaction is important to us and we want your future business. When we do a free upgrade, we always try our best to substantially improve device function and value to our Client. We seriously consider all reasonable upgrade suggestions made by Clients (we are always interested in new ideas). ALL UPGRADES ARE MADE SOLELY AT OUR DISCRETION, BY US, AND TOTALLY AT OUR EXPENSE; WE MAY REFUSE WITHOUT LIABILITY TO DO AN UPGRADE IF WE BELIEVE THAT THE UPGRADE IS NOT TECHNICALLY FEASIBLE, OR IT WOULD RESULT IN A DIFFERENT DEVICE, OR IT WOULD REQUIRE MAJOR CHANGES IN CIRCUIT LAYOUT, OR THE RESULTANT UPGRADE WOULD LIKELY PRODUCE ONLY MINOR OR COSMETIC IMPROVEMENTS, OR THE UPGRADE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, OR FOR ANY REASON WE CANNOT SCHEDULE THE TIME FOR DOING THE UPGRADE. IF IN THE PROCESS OF UPGRADING AN ITEM, IT BECOMES DAMAGED, DESTROYED, LOST OR NOT IMPROVED, WE WILL MAKE NO REFUND, FREE-OF-CHARGE REPLACEMENT OR ACCEPT ANY LIABILITY. No other company we know of will even consider doing free upgrades.
CAN'T AFFORD TO OBTAIN A DEVICE FROM US? We are a customizing shop and specialty store. All of the devices we do are unique, hand-crafted and custom-made here in the USA. We do not have Pacific Rim slave shops that the big box and discount stores have. You will never see our devices - or even anything like them - in big box stores nor discount stores. Just like virtually all other USA customizing shops and specialty stores, we charge much more than a big box or discount store charges for roughly similar items. You cannot compare our prices with big box and discount store prices. However, we certainly will work with Clients to make it cheaper and easier for them to obtain our devices that they need and want so badly. We realize that life is hard for most people. If a Client has a compelling story, we will seriously consider reducing our prices. We also do lay-aways and barters (ie: acceptable items for trade). We may also accept a Client's collateral until the Client can pay us in full. We will bend over backwards for our Clients. However, there is a type of Client which we have no sympathy for: A Client who tells us that they blew their money on some scam artist for the types of devices (eg: mind control countermeasures) they now want to obtain from us, and that because they now don't have enough money for our devices, they want us to discount our devices so they can now afford them. For us to discount for them because of their past mistakes is the same as us subsidizing the crooks who earlier ripped them off, which we never do. BEFORE YOU DECIDE WHO TO BUY FROM PLEASE KNOW THAT OUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DOING DEVICES LIKE THE ONES WE DESCRIBE ON THIS WEBSITE SINCE THE 1970s - ALWAYS IN THE USA (mostly New Mexico and Texas). WE ARE VERY EXPERIENCED, KNOWLEDGEABLE AND SKILLED AT DOING THESE DEVICES. JOHN WILLIAMS HAS A M.S.E.E. DEGREE. Simple fact is, other than ourselves, we do not know of a single Online seller to the general public of the types of customized devices we design, make and sell that we can confidently say to be both competent and have the wherewithal to do these device types. So, the next time you see a website that is flashier and prettier than ours, filled with wild or simplistic claims and pseudo-science gibberish, been up for a few months at most, is either from overseas or some unknown/uncertain place, coming from a website with malware, flee from it as fast as you can.
THESE TERMS OF SERVICE ("POLICIES") ARE A LEGAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU ("YOU", "YOUR", "CUSTOMER" OR "CLIENT") AND LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. ("WE", "US" OR "LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC."), THE OWNER AND OPERATOR OF THIS LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. WEBSITE ("SITE").

FOREIGN ADDRESSES & U.S. LAWS: NOTE: All commodities purchased from Lone Star Consulting, Inc. are to be handled in accordance with US law including but not limited to the Export Administration Regulations, (EAR); International Traffic in Arms Regulations; US Department of State; US Department of Homeland Security; US Department of Commerce and US Office of Foreign Assets Control. Diversion contrary to US law is prohibited. No device or service we provide is intended for foreign use, with the possible exception of Canada, and perhaps a handful of other countries considered by the US to be allies of the US, and requires our prior explicit written permission. Clients assume 100% liability and responsibility for any and all problems which directly or indirectly result because they exported to a foreign country any device or service we provided them, or received, transferred, possessed, used, stored, sold or gave away in a foreign country any device or service we provided them.
SHIPPING PROBLEM OR DISPUTE: We want to get our devices into the hands of our Clients as fast and free from shipping problems as possible. Happy Clients often mean future business. Be advised, as per our long-published policies (policies.htm webpage), when it comes to all shipping-related issues, we are responsible for shipping the item to the shipping address we reasonably believe is the correct shipping address. The Client assumes the full risk of any change, omission, mistake, accident or unreadability he/she makes in his/her shipping address. And the Client must do all corrections, if any, in writing (eg: email) and receive an acknowledgement response from us no later than four business days prior to the shipping date. If we clearly make a shipping address mistake here, then we alone are responsible for our mistake, and we will correct it at our expense. If a Client-provided shipping address is City/State/Country "A" and/or provided us multiple addresses or an incorrect or misunderstood address(es) or other address(es) different from the shipping address, the Client fully agrees to not complain about anything to anyone about a shipping problem, or any other problem or dispute (eg: non-receipt of item, damaged item, item malfunction, stolen item, wrong item, etc.), if any, in City/State/Country "A" or in any other City/State/Country, except El Paso, TX, USA, and only if he/she properly files his/her complaint in accordance with all of our policies. And the Client fully agrees that he/she is the only person and entity with LEGAL STANDING in any problem or dispute, if any, which could arise between us regarding any device, transaction or any other matter relevant to any CD Project we did or attempted to do or considered to do for the Client, or regarding any other contact, contract or communications between us, or any statement made or implied by us on any of our webpages, emails or promotions or by phone, in person or any other way.
SEVERABILITY/WAIVER: ALL POLICIES FOUND
HEREIN ARE APPLIED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE
LAW. IF A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION FINDS ANY PROVISION OF THESE POLICIES
INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THOSE PARTS OF THE POLICY PROVISION NOT CHANGED,
LIMITED OR STRUCK DOWN BY THE COURT'S DECISION WILL STILL BE FULLY ENFORCED
TO THE FULL EXTENT WHICH THE LAW PERMITS, ALONG WITH ALL OTHER POLICY PROVISIONS.
OUR DECISION TO NOT FULLY ENFORCE ANY POLICY PROVISION WILL NOT BE DEEMED AS
A LEGAL PRECEDENT NOR AS A WAIVER OF FUTURE ENFORCEMENT OF THAT OR ANY OTHER
POLICY PROVISION. ANY WAIVER , AMENDMENT, OR OTHER MODIFICATION OF ANY POLICY
PROVISION WILL BE EFFECTIVE ONLY IF IN WRITING BY LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC.
IF THERE IS ANY DISAGREEMENT AS TO THE INTERPRETATION OF ANY POLICY PROVISION
DESCRIBED HEREIN, ANY REASONABLE INTERPRETATION BY LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC.
SHALL PREVAIL. LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. RESERVES ALL RIGHTS NOT EXPRESSLY
GRANTED HEREIN OR EXPLICITLY FORBIDDEN BY LAW.
Our Policy webpages
supersede all earlier Policy webpages. A new, changed or deleted Policy (a "deleted"
Policy is a Policy which appears in an earlier publication of our Policies,
but now no longer appears), description or estimated price goes into effect
immediately upon publication of a webpage by us which describes it, and without
prior notification or liability to us. A new, changed or deleted Policy is never
an admission that any relevant previous Policy was in error or invalid. Descriptions,
specifications, estimated costs, estimated completion times, Item quality and
Item quantity which are in effect at the time of contract remain unaffected
by the new, changed or deleted Policy, unless both Client and us have agreed
in writing to any change in them after the time of contract, or the new Policy
covers a subject not substantially covered in the earlier contract or Policy
or explains or gives examples for a subject already covered. The "time
of contract" is when both you and we have received the acceptance of the
contract by all parties to it, which may or may not relate to when a payment
is made (see below), and extends to no later than when the contract is completed
or expired, whichever comes first. A CD project is "successfully completed"
when the CD project device or service is completed and successful passed all
Final Tests (if any time afterwards the device fails, regardless of how it is
used or tested, where it fails or how it fails, it is still considered to be
a successfully completed CD project). A contract, including its warranty, automatically
becomes "expired" when we receive no contact from the Client about
anything directly relevant, material, substantial and in writing to the applicable
contract provisions within the previous 30 days or immediately upon the expiration
of any applicable warranty period, whichever occurs first. If the contract becomes
expired, and if the Client appeals to us in writing, we will likely reinstate
the contract period if we believe that the abandonment was justifiable (eg:
due to major illness, injury or other disaster), but we are under no obligation
to do so. If a contract is amended, revised, updated or otherwise mutually agreed
to be changed in writing, the "time of contract" then applies to the
amended, revised, updated or changed contract and no longer to the prior contract
version. Furthermore, if a new, changed or deleted Policy does not both substantially
and negatively (to the Client) change the Item contracted for (estimated price
or completion or shipping time, or Item description or specifications, or quality
or quantity of Item), our new, changed or deleted Policy immediately applies
(eg: if a Policy is changed to reflect a new address, then the new address applies
even though the contract states the previous address). If you have an existing
CD project contract with us and if you reasonably believe that you will be adversely
affected by a new, changed or deleted Policy, you have 15 days from the publication
date of our new, changed or deleted Policy to notify us about your objections
to our new, changed or deleted Policy in writing (specifically, explicitly,
fully and accurately describe why the new, changed or deleted Policy adversely
impacts you) so that we may consider exempting you from our new, changed or
deleted Policy (we don't unreasonably refuse exemption requests; however, we
assume no liability for not exempting you; if we provide exemption to you, it
will be explicit, specific and in writing; all exemptions are on an individual
basis only). After a new, changed or deleted Policy has been published more
than 15 days, it remains fully in effect, without exemptions we did not previously
provide in writing, unless and until we again delete, change or reinstitute
the Policy by means of publishing. NOTE: Webpages are stored in databases all
over the world of which we have no control over, and are not responsible for.
We have received reports that some website visitors, especially in foreign countries,
don't receive the newest posted versions of webpages. We assume no liability
for anything we cannot reasonably control, including but not limited to outdated,
changed, reposted old versions, partial, added-to or censored webpages resulting
from slow, negligent, pranked, hacked, censored or other databases.
OUR ONLINE
AUCTION CLIENTS / CONTACTS ONLY: If any Policy herein clearly conflicts
with any explicit Policy of the Online auction service (eg: eBay Policies, Amazon.com
Policies) you purchased or attempted to purchase our Item through, or inquired
about our Item or us through or to, the Policy of the Online auction service
shall prevail for that specific Item or inquiry and limited to that specific

ALL OF OUR CD DEVICES ARE CONSIDERED TO BE UNIQUE, INDIVIDUALLY HANDMADE, AND OF ARTISTIC-TECHNO, CREATIVE, INNOVATIVE AND EXPERIMENTAL NATURE, AND ARE PROVIDED FOR LEGAL UTILITY, EDUCATIONAL and/or ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY. NO ILLEGAL, UNETHICAL OR HARMFUL INTENTION, USE OR PURPOSE IS RECOMMENDED OR IMPLIED, AND DO NOT CONTACT US FOR ANY ILLEGAL, UNETHICAL OR HARMFUL INTENTION, USE OR PURPOSE TOWARDS US, ANYBODY ELSE, ANY ANIMAL, OR ANY OF OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES (some examples of devices we CANNOT provide are devices which may be intended to illegally intercept/jam/interfere with legal/licensed communications (including, but not limited to, satellites and cellphones), cheat utility companies, jackpot casino equipment or gambling/gaming devices, perform any medical/medical assistive function (Note: The term, "Medical" and related terms in all of our webpages, include ALL medical fields, including, but not limited, to ALL dental fields), are radioactive, make/dispense/change chemicals or drugs, make anything illegal/unethical, or retaliate or take revenge against or otherwise likely injure a person/animal/property, including but not limited to all items that are illegal, hazardous, contaminated or very heavy or bulky for us to handle). These are items we prohibit. We shall assume that if you contact us for any hardware and/or services which are likely to violate any of these prohibitions, you are just simply joking with us, and if so, we reserve the right to joke back. As a small business, we simply cannot know all of the applicable laws and regulations of all of the 1,000s of national and international jurisdictions. Therefore, the Client assumes full and exclusive liability and responsibility that he/she can legally and ethically buy, have shipped to him/her, possess, use, store, give away or resell or otherwise dispose of any hardware or service we provide him/her under our Policies. We always intend to be 100% legal and ethical; to the best of our knowledge and beliefs, we never do or intend to do anything illegal or unethical. If you believe that anything we describe, offer or sell or any of our Policies is illegal or unethical in your jurisdiction, please email us with complete details and document your every assertion and we will seriously consider deleting or changing it. Again, never buy any hardware or service from us which your purchase, shipment to you or your possession of it, or you use, store, resell, give away or otherwise dispose of may be illegal or unethical in your jurisdiction. If you have any inquiries, other questions or concerns about anything we offer or sell or any of our Policies which you have any interest in for any reason or purpose, you assume full liability and responsibility of providing them all and completely to us in writing by email or postal mail to us and having them fully addressed by us prior to taking any action relevant to our product, service or Policy.
Be advised that any claim a business makes, it may be forced to prove it to the satisfaction of powerful politicians, regulatory, law enforcement and bureaucrats, which proof can be a nearly impossible burden regardless of how factual the claim is. For example, it can be just as impossible to "prove" to the subjective satisfaction of often dictatorial, agenda-driven, political, corrupt, publicity-seeking and self-serving government functionaries that gravity exists and the world is not flat than to prove that mind control, space aliens or psychic powers exist. THEREFORE, WE MAKE NO MEDICAL, LEGAL, SCIENTIFIC, ENGINEERING, PARANORMAL OR SUPERNATURAL CLAIMS, OR OFFICIAL ADVICE OR OPINIONS. All advices, opinions and claims are personal lay advice, opinions and claims; claims include but not limited to claims about the existence, extent, intentions, purposes, actions, capabilities, etc. of space aliens, UFOs, ghosts, spirits, spirit world, psychic powers, psionics, mental telepathy, precognition, auras, clairvoyance, remote viewing, psychokinesis, electronic attack, mind control and similar - all related CD projects we do are based on our proprietary theories (should they actually exist) AND then only if the Client does not clearly specify in his/her CDAF another theory he/she wants the CD device design to be based upon). [NOTE #1: We are not licensed to practice medicine nor law, and therefore we cannot and do not provide medical nor legal advice nor opinion, make medical nor legal claims, nor make devices intended for any medical nor medically-assistive use (although some devices may function very similar to medical devices if used in that way (eg: dental picks, which also have many non-dental uses), no device we make is intended for any medical use or medically assistive use, but for uses such as mind control and electronic attack detection and countermeasures, ESP/alien research, biometrics research, plant stimulators, etc.), or tell you what the causes are for any particular medical-like manifestation; nor anything we may provide you is to be used for a medical diagnostic, treatment or assistive reason or to in any manner interfere with, delay or replace any medical procedure prescribed or likely to be prescribed for you by any licensed medical entity; all medically-related statements made by us are lay, anecdotal and personal opinion-type statements only] [NOTE #2: The term, "medical" is very broadly defined relevant to all of our Policies to include ALL types of devices that can be applied to any biological system (man or animal) and that would require special licensing or is specially regulated to make, possess, sell or distribute, including but not limited to medical profession-type devices, dental devices, psychological devices, chiropractic devices, assistive-living devices, ambulatory devices, and veterinary devices].
PUBLICATIONS & COMMUNICATIONS: We frequently update our FREE Online Catalog (ie: our webpages), so please bookmark and visit them often. Some folks need an offline Catalog, which we also provide (see price in our Header above), but only in CDROM form. We do not have a printed Catalog anymore. Accessing our Online Catalog, our CDROM Catalog or any other form of our Catalog never transfers any proprietary rights to anyone. Also, our CDROM Catalog may be missing some of our images - all of the webpage texts should be there - because our images are stored on various medias and it is far too time-consuming to transfer all of our images of our constantly updated Catalog to CDROMs. WE TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY AND ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR ANYTHING WE STATE IN ANY OF OUR PUBLICATIONS (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO OUR USER MANUALS AND OTHER MANUALS, BOOKS, SOFTWARE, CATALOGS, FLYERS, AND PROMOTIONS) OR COMMUNICATIONS UNLESS WE WERE PREVIOUSLY EXPLICITLY AND TRUTHFULLY INFORMED IN WRITING THAT IT WAS PROVABLY WRONG AND COULD RESULT IN REAL HARM, AND WE THEN FAILED TO CORRECT IT IN A TIMELY MANNER.
WE ARE A CUSTOM-DESIGN HOUSE WHICH PROVIDES DEVICES UNIQUELY TAILORED TO OUR CLIENT'S NEEDS, AND ALMOST NEVER FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE. THE DEVICE-TYPES WE DESCRIBE ON OUR DEVICE-TYPE WEBPAGES ARE THE TYPES OF CUSTOMIZED DEVICES WE HAVE MADE AND CAN MAKE - WE ARE NOT LIMITED TO THESE DEVICE TYPES - WE ARE VERY VERSATILE WITH TREMENDOUS PARTS, EQUIPMENT AND KNOWLEDGE RESOURCES - WE WILL SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A PROPOSAL YOU HAVE FOR ANY LEGAL DEVICE (whether or not we currently have a device-type like that) - WE CAN USUALLY ALSO COMBINE, CHANGE AND/OR INCREASE FEATURES AND/OR FUNCTIONS OF ANY DEVICE-TYPE WE DESCRIBE WITH ANY OTHER DEVICE-TYPE AS PER YOUR UNIQUE SPECIFICATIONS. DESCRIPTIONS OF OUR CD SERVICES AND RESULTING UNIQUE CUSTOMIZED DEVICE TYPES ARE LIMITED TO OUR WRITTEN DESCRIPTIONS ABOUT THEM; WE TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE ACCURACY OF ANY SUBSEQUENT VERBAL OR WRITTEN DESCRIPTIONS OF THEM BY ANYONE. NOTE THAT IN ALL ADVERTISEMENTS AND PROMOTIONS OF OUR CD SERVICES WE ARE ONLY PROMOTING A SERVICE TO MAKE A DEVICE AS DESCRIBED ON THE CLIENT'S CDAF. THE MANY DEVICE-TYPES WE DESCRIBE ARE MEANT ONLY TO SERVE AS A LIMITED SET OF EXAMPLES OF THE TYPES OF DEVICES THAT MAY OR MAY NOT RESULT FROM OUR ATTEMPTING TO RENDER ANY CD SERVICE AND NOT AS ANY ADVERTISEMENT OR PROMOTION OF ANY EXISTING DEVICE (nothing we sell is an Off-the-Shelf or Over-the-Counter Device) - EACH CDAF SERVICE IS INDIVIDUALLY APPLIED FOR THROUGH THE CDAF PROCESS, EVALUATED AND MAY OR MAY NOT BE APPROVED, ALL RESULTING DEVICES (IF ANY) ARE UNIQUELY AND ARTISTICALLY-TECHNICALLY CUSTOMIZED AND HAND-CRAFTED BASED ON CLIENT SPECIFICATIONS TO THE BEST OF OUR ABILITIES. WE EXPECT CDAFS TO BE COMPLETE, CLEARLY WRITTEN, AND TOTALLY HONEST AND ACCURATE. THE CLIENT ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL ERRORS, OMISSIONS, ILLEGIBILITY, CONTRADICTIONS, AND MISLEADING OR NEBULOUS STATEMENTS, AND ANY AND ALL OTHER PROBLEMS IN ANY DOCUMENT OR OTHER WRITING, INCLUDING CDAFS, WHICH THE CLIENT PROVIDES TO US THAT WAS IN PART OR WHOLE WRITTEN, COMPLETED, ANNOTATED OR WITH ENTRIES BY THE CLIENT. THE CLIENT ALSO ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY AND ALL REASONABLE MISINTERPRETATIONS OR MISUNDERSTANDINGS WE MAKE OF ANY DOCUMENT OR OTHER WRITING, INCLUDING CDAFS, THE CLIENT PROVIDES US, WHETHER OR NOT IT CONTAINS ANY WRITINGS OR ENTRIES BY THE CLIENT. THE CLIENT ALSO ASSUMES FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANYTHING HE/SHE SENDS US WHICH IS FALSE, MISLEADING, ILLEGAL, DANGEROUS OR IN VIOLATION OF ANY RIGHT OF ANY PERSON OR ENTITY.
ALL DEVICES CONTRACTED FOR AS FUNCTIONAL ARE PROVIDED TURN-KEY: Everything we provide as a functional device is TURN-KEY (NOTE: we can also provide non-functional and partially-functional models, mock-ups, replicas and novelties, as well as kits and written research reports if the Client specifies on his/her CDAF or may be required by law). All of our functional devices are fully-constructed and thoroughly tested devices (not kits) with all required cables, transducers, power supplies and User Manual for turn-key operation. We generally do not ship devices with external power and transducers cables plugged-in or screwed on, with batteries installed (for battery-operated devices, new alkaline batteries are usually included for all USA orders but not usually installed), and similar, to minimize the risks of shipment damage or accidental activation. Computer and other turn-key electronic equipment makers in general also do not typically ship their equipment with cables plugged in, and some do not even come with batteries (or with cheap half-filled OEM batteries). Batteries are not usually included for non-USA orders because of possible security- and safety-related legal reasons of some non-USA jurisdictions. And we have also found that some foreign Customs officials confiscate or steal new alkaline batteries while others will try to roughly plug them into the device, or try to plug them in with the opposite polarity, thereby possibly damaging the device (sellers of battery-operated devices are often blamed us for missing batteries, damaged battery connections or used appearance of the Customs manhandled devices they get). NOTE-1: Lone Star Consulting, Inc. is not a factory - we are a custom laboratory which designs and produces unique customized devices, including prototypes, which are unique, custom handmade, innovative, artistic-techno and creative in nature, and experimental; therefore, while we try our reasonable best to make all of our devices to be totally legal and safe (in materials and parts), we cannot and do not guarantee the legality and safety of any device, instruction or recommendation, and we will not intentionally make any device that has an illegal or unsafe feature or function, nor will we knowingly accept to do a device that is illegal or unsafe. NOTE-2: Some of our devices have added or enhanced functions and capabilities if used in conjunction with other devices not provided with them (unless also specified in the CDAF). These other devices may include meters, testers, signal generators, amplifiers, tuners, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, etc. In almost all cases, we can make or obtain the other devices (at additional costs to Client, and described in a new CDAF).
AS POLICY, WE NEVER RECOMMEND, ENDORSE OR REFER TO POSITIVELY OR NEGATIVELY ANY COMPANY, PERSON, PRODUCT OR SERVICE - EVEN IF IT IS LISTED OR LINKED ON ANY OF OUR WEBPAGES - OR PROVIDED BY PHONE, EMAIL, ETC. ANYTHING WE SAY OR DO WHICH APPEARS TO BE AN OPINION, ADVICE OR CLAIM ABOUT ANY SUCH COMPANY, PERSON, PRODUCT OR SERVICE, OR OF A LEGAL, MEDICAL OR NOT SCIENTIFICALLY PROVED OR PROVABLE NATURE, IS STRICTLY A PERSONAL LAY OPINION, ADVICE OR CLAIM TO WHICH NEITHER LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. NOR ANY OF ITS PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR. Since Clients know much more about their situations than we ever will and our devices are greatly described, the Clients chooses his/her devices based on his/her situation and needs.
Our Policy webpages supersede all earlier versions of these webpages (whether online or hardcopy), and they becomes effective immediately upon their publications, and all of them fully apply to all products, services, communications and relationships we provide or engaged in to include, but not be limited to: All Customized Devices projects, all publications, all other products, all consulting services, all other services, and the sale of all or any part of Lone Star Consulting, Inc. Offer descriptions, prices and Policies which are in effect on the date and time of a CD payment being made (as based on the postmark) are the effective descriptions and Policies - even if the Client uses an older form. NO PROVISION FOUND HEREIN CAN BE WAIVED, MODIFIED, OR AMENDED EXCEPT BY EXPLICIT WRITTEN AGREEMENT BY LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC., AND THEN ONLY TO THE LIMITED EXTENT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
TO WHATEVER EXTENT WARRANTIES MAY APPLY,
WARRANTY APPLIES SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY TO THE PERSON WHO CONTRACTED FOR THE
PRODUCT OR SERVICE, AND NO WARRANTY IS TRANSFERABLE OR ASSIGNABLE IN ANY WAY,
EVEN IF THE PERSON(S) OR ENTITY(IES) PAYING FOR ALL OR PART OF THE ITEM IS NOT
THE PERSON OR ENTITY WHICH CONTRACTED FOR THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE. UNLESS PROHIBITED
BY LAW THAT APPLIES TO UNIQUE, CUSTOMIZED, INDIVIDUALLY CUSTOM HANDMADE, EXPERIMENTAL
AND ARTISTIC-TECHNO DEVICES AND SERVICES (may apply in some states), LONE STAR
CONSULTING, INC. DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION,
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE
FOR ALL CD SERVICES AND ITEMS AND FOR ALL PARTS AND SUBSECTIONS OF ALL CD SERVICES
AND ITEMS. FURTHERMORE, UNLESS EXPLICITLY PROHIBITED BY LAW THAT APPLIES TO
CUSTOMIZED, INDIVIDUALLY CUSTOM HANDMADE, EXPERIMENTAL AND ARTISTIC-TECHNO SERVICES
AND ITEMS (may apply in some states), WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT,
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, GENERAL, COMPENSATORY, PUNITIVE,
EXEMPLARY, OR OTHER DAMAGES REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE AND WITHOUT LIMITATIONS
(INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOST PROFITS AND DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM DELAY,
INCONVENIENCE OR LOSS OF USE) FOR ALL CD SERVICES AND ITEMS WE PROVIDE - EVEN
IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. DESCRIPTIONS OF
CD SERVICES AND DEVICE-TYPES ARE NOT WARRANTEES. FURTHERMORE, UNLESS PROHIBITED
BY LAW THAT APPLIES TO CUSTOMIZED, INDIVIDUALLY CUSTOM HANDMADE, EXPERIMENTAL
AND ARTISTIC-TECHNO SERVICES AND ITEMS (may apply in some states), THE ABSOLUTE
MAXIMUM AMOUNT THAT LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. IS EVER LIABLE FOR IS 100% OF
THE PRICE OF ANY CD SERVICE OR ITEM, PAYABLE ONLY TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER
OR TO HIS/HER ESTATE. (Note: Some jurisdictions may not allow the exclusion
or limitation of certain warrantees (eg: implied warrantees) and/or liability
for certain damages (eg: consequential or incidental damages) even for individually
custom handmade, experimental, customized and artistic-techno and services as
is all of our CD devices and services, in all cases where exclusions or limitations
are not fully permitted, these exclusions and limitations of our warrantees
apply to the minimal extent possible as determined by a court of law of competent
jurisdiction.) LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL LONE STAR
CONSULTING, INC.'S, IF IT IS DETERMINED TO BE IN BREACH OF CONTRACT, PAY LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES TO THE CLIENT SHALL WHICH EXCEEDS THAT PART OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF MONIES
THE CLIENT PAID US (all refunds excludes donations) FOR THE CDAF-CONTRACTED-FOR
PRODUCT(S) OR SERVICE(S) WHICH EXCEEDS THE NON-REFUNDABLE DOWN PAYMENT(S) THE
CLIENT PAID IT, MINUS NONREFUDABLE DOWNPAYMENT AMOUNT* , IF ANY. LIQUID DAMAGES
ARE NOT INTENDED TO BE A PENALTY AGAINST IT. CLIENT
FULLY AGREES THAT 80% OF THE AMOUNT HE/SHE PAYS FOR A UNIQUE CUSTOMIZED DEVICE
FROM US IS FREELY DONATED BY CLENT TO US TO FIND A REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM(S)
THAT RESULTED IN THE COMPLAINT AGAINST US AS A CONSUMER SERVICE FOR OUR FUTURE
CLIENTS. This 80% donation amount is included in the Cost Estimates and Final
amounts we provide Clients and prospective Clients. If Client disagrees with
the policy of this paragraph, Client must email us a clear statement of disagreement
PRIOR to accepting our T&C Estimates, in which case, we will refigure Client's
T&C Estimates or refuse to do the device, with no liability to us.
The Cient fully agrees to limit any possible court-filed complaints he/she makes
against us, if any, to small claim court in El Paso, TX (unless the amount of
monies the Client paid us exceeds the maximum amount allowed by the small claims
court, in which case, El Paso, TX, District Court may be used). In all other
cases, Client fully agrees to waive his/her Constitutional and statutory rights
to file any case against us in any other kind of court. All complaints must
be in the English language only, else they will be null and void.
Each
Customized Devices (CD) device or service is to be considered to be a separate,
individual and independent CD device or service from all other CD devices and
services the Client may have considered or contracted with us during any time
period. Each dispute
is limited to one, and only one, device, service or transaction. In no case
will a dispute with us be consolidated with any other dispute(s), or made jointly
or as a class action to other dispute(s). Only the Client will have legal standing
in any dispute against us. The rights and obligations established by our policies
may not be assigned, contracted, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred
by the Client without our prior, written approval; any violation of the foregoing
will be null and void.
*Should
the case be that Lone Star Consulting, Inc. made no reasonable attempt to provide
the contracted-for product(s) or service(s) (eg: due to failure to perform any
work on trying to provide you the product or service you contracted for in your
CDAF, regardless of reason), it shall also include, as part of the liquidated
damages, all down payment(s) Client paid, if any.
WHEN YOU PROVIDE US YOUR CDAF, WE DO OUR BEST TO PROVIDE YOU AS FAST AS POSSIBLE REASONABLE TIME & COST ESTIMATES. While we are extremely versatile and can do many different types of unique CD projects, we can never guarantee that we can do any particular CD project. CD projects are usually complex and require many parts and often specialized test equipment and some times special materials. In addition, the proposed CD project may not be feasible or can be done with a reasonable amount of resources within a reasonable amount of time for a reasonable price. Or the proposed project may be, in our opinion, unsafe, illegal or unethical to do, or to otherwise place us in jeopardy. Or we may not be able to find the right parts or they are not legal to acquire, or something happens which severely interferes with project scheduling (eg: a natural disaster, major crime, illness or injury to key personnel, etc.). In such relatively rare cases, we will first try to do a reasonable and legal workaround, but if we can't, we will not provide T&C Estimates, and we accept no liability. Proposed CD project CDAF may describe customizing specifications beyond what our described version of the device, or an unexpected price increase in a required part or other resource may occur, so our Cost Estimate for any CD project we can do may substantially exceed the rough estimate we provide in our device description that is closest to the proposed CD project. YOU ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO ACCEPT OUR ESTIMATES. Usually, right after we determine whether or not we can do your proposed CD project, we will email you with our T&C Estimates. You then have 2 work days to decide whether or not you want us to do your CD project, and email us back. If you agree to us doing your CD project or you don't email us back clearly stating for us to not to do your CD project within that time, we will assume that you have fully agreed to our Estimates, and we will then immediately start on your CD project and mail you the formal T&C Estimates form for you complete and mail back to us with your 1/3rd non-refundable downpayment. Whether or not we can do a CD project or, if we can, how well we do the CD project, the non-refundable CDAF Evaluation Fee is never refunded and carries no liability with it. For most CD project estimates, our low Evaluation Fee covers only a small part of our actual costs in providing the estimate, and is there basically to establish Client sincerity.
CDAF AMENDMENTS (All CDAF Amendments Must Be In Writing): Once a CDAF contract is provided to us, we assume that it describes exactly and fully what the Client wants us to do for him/her, and we almost always start immediately. However, as with all things human, a Client may change his/her mind while his/her project is still under construction or testing, and thereby want to amend or modify the CDAF contract. We will gladly do our reasonable best to try to integrate those Client additions, changes and/or deletions in the design and/or layout of the CD project device IF we can reasonably do so without having to do major circuit design and/or layout changes which would be so disruptive as to imperil the CD project itself. Those changes we can reasonably make will likely substantially increase the estimated completion time, and may decrease or increase the estimated cost. Note that the closer we are to CD project completion, the more difficult, time-consuming and expensive it is to make additions, changes and/or deletions to designs and/or layouts. If the proposed CD Amendment arrives after a CD project is completed or it is not completed but too late for us to add, change and/or delete from the previous design and/or layout, then the Client must provide us a new CDAF which describes whatever additions, changes and/or deletions in the finished CD project he/she wishes us to consider doing.
IF AN ONGOING CD PROJECT IS CANCELED OR SUBSTANTIALLY MODIFIED FOR ANY REASON AFTER 3 DAYS INTO THE PROJECT OR 75% OF ITS ESTIMATED COMPLETION, WHICHEVER OCCURS LAST, THEN THE FULL ESTIMATED AMOUNT OF THE CD MUST BE PAID IN FULL WITHIN 30 DAYS OF SUCH CANCELLATION OR SUBSTANTIAL MODIFICATION - EVEN IF IT IS LATER SHOWN THAT THE CD DEVICE IS NON-FUNCTIONAL ALTHOUGH IT WAS SPECIFIED IN THE CDAF AS FUNCTIONAL. CD devices are often highly experimental, specialized, customized, manpower-intensive, uses more expensive parts because they are obtained in small quantities, and we cannot reasonably resell them if the Client cancels his project after substantial work has been done on it. Since we immediately cease all work on a cancelled or substantially modified CD project, the CD project will not be finished unless reinstated by the Client within 30 from work stoppage. Furthermore, if a CD project is disrupted, the availability of some planned parts for which the implementation depends upon may disappear so that a later completion or functioning using that design may not be reasonably possible, or they may become more or less costly - all can impact completion times and costs. Estimated time in days, unless otherwise stated, is always based on work days, and it almost always excludes all weekends and national holidays, and it also excludes all other days in which we can do little or no work due to disaster, accident, crime, terrorist act, medical situation, and/or parts shortage or circuit failure we did not foresee or for any event or situation we have no control over. The term, "days," when referring to work completion, unless otherwise stated (eg: "calendar days"), always refers to work days as defined above. While in almost all cases, actual costs are the same as estimated costs, due to circumstances not known or anticipated to us at the time that the cost estimate was made, actual costs may be lower or higher, but rarely more than 5% higher (no matter how much the CD project actually costs us) or 25% lower. In one case, the CD project ended up costing us almost 3X Client's estimated costs because of unanticipated parts price increases, but we charged our Good Client only 5% more than his estimated costs - we waived for our Good Client almost $3,900 of his actual CD project costs which we could have also charged him for. However, if the Good Client loses his/her Good Client status within 7 years of his/her receipt of the completed CD project, we reserve the right to in addition retroactively charge the Client any and all costs we previously waived (even if the Client did not know we had waived charges), plus 1.5% per month interest on the unpaid balance thereafter (after notifying Client of the charges), which restored charges he/she assumes personal liability for paying. Also, in rare cases, a new higher or lower estimated cost may be applied upto 1 year retroactive to CD project completion and our receipt of payment (eg: a late billing by supplier is much higher or lower than expected, the Client requires unusually high level of support or support not directly related to the CD project, the Client brings us additional business, unexpected situations which result in additional costs or cost savings to us later, etc.). While we will do everything we reasonably can do to successfully complete your CD project, we cannot guarantee against failure - much of what we do is experimental research, and in all such cases, failure is always a possibility no matter who is doing it. While we try our reasonable best to select materials, parts, subassemblies and assemblies to optimize a CD device's performance with the goal of making it even better than what the Client contracted for - often, even when it costs us more time and money - we do not guarantee, without any liability to us, that we made the right choice or the best choice, or that the selected item will not malfunction or fail, or is an adequate or satisfactory choice, or is not defective in any way. If the Client neglects, fails or refuses to specify and/or provide what materials, parts, subassemblies and assemblies we have asked him/her to specify and/or provide (eg: type and size of circuit box, base helmet for a Shielded Helmet, etc.), or he/she asks us to specify and/or provide instead, we do not guarantee, without any liability to us, that the item will not malfunction or fail, or is an adequate or satisfactory choice, or is not defective in any way - even if we are negligent or make a mistake(s) in our efforts to specify and/or provide the item. We cannot guarantee While we never easily give up on a CD project because our goal is to always satisfy our Clients so they come back to us for their future CD project needs and highly recommend us to others (as illustrated in the 3X case above), if after considerable efforts we find that we cannot successfully complete the CD project that we believe has cost us substantially more than its total estimated cost, we reserve the right to stop working on and to permanently end the CD project without prior notice or liability to Lone Star Consulting, Inc. and/or to any of its people, regardless of the reason(s) for failing to successfully complete the CD project. In rare cases, a CD project may require substantial changes (all CD project changes must be acceptable to Lone Star Consulting, Inc.), in which case we may have to ask our Client for more time and/or money to try to successfully complete. Unless specifically contracted for in the CDAF, no unchanged contract obligation extends more than 4 times the estimated time, and while we provide reasonable technical support (only after the Client completely reads the User Manual), we reserve the right to cancel all technical support if it is clear to us that the Client has not read either the User Manual or our stated Policies on our Policies webpages (without prior notice or liability to us), and we usually cannot provide technical support exceeding more than 10 minutes per $100 cost of the CD project (solely at our discretion, we may provide reasonably longer technical support). If more technical support than that or technical support not directly related to the CD project is required, the Client must provide us a new CDAF relevant to technical support and we must agree to it. We reserve the exclusive right to choose the form, format, provider and timing of all technical support, whether it be by email, phone and/or postal mail (in most cases, it will be exclusively by email and it will never be by direct or personal contact by the Client and us), it may not be provided by one of our officers and it could be provided by a contractor who has good technical knowledge of the CD project, and it will be at a time convenient for us (we do our best to respond to emails within two days).
We must be able to readily contact you regarding your project. Therefore, at a very minimum to do business with us you must provide us your current email address (and you must be able to read and send your emails on at least a 5-day turn-around basis), your current phone number (one that is not constantly busy or unanswerable during normal business hours), your current shipping address, and your current mailing address (if you provide us only one address, we will assume that it is both your shipping address and your mailing address). WHEN WE NOTIFY YOU THAT YOUR CD PROJECT IS SUCCESSFULY COMPLETED, YOU MUST EMAIL US WITHIN 10 DAYS YOUR ACCURATE, CURRENT AND COMPLETE SHIPPING ADDRESS. OR IF FOR ANY REASON YOU DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION FROM US, WITHIN 15 DAYS AFTER THE ESTIMATED TIME OF PROJECT COMPLETION, YOU MUST EMAIL US YOUR CURRENT, COMPLETE AND ACCURATE SHIPPING ADDRESS. ALL SHIPMENTS FROM US ARE FOB SHIPPING POINT. These current shipping address notification requirements apply even if you provided to us your shipping address earlier, so that we never ship a completed Item to an address that is not your current shipping address. Our goal is zero possibility of shipping completed CD devices to incorrect, invalid, old or temporally unoccupied (eg: Client on vacation or hospitalized) addresses where they may get lost or delayed in reaching our Clients, or fall into the wrong hands. If this notification is not made on a timely basis, we will hold onto your Item under the other provisions of these Policies.
ADVANCED PAYMENTS POLICIES: Some of our Clients like to pay the full amount for their CD projects - often up front and sometimes without first providing any CDAF or Estimations forms. If the advanced payment is equal to or greater than 1/3rd-$1 of the CD project's later estimated payment prior to the Client providing us us his/her proper CDAF and Estimations forms, this method almost always results in great time savings - the Client receives the completed CD project device much faster than if he/she pays for the device only after we receive the properly completed CDAF and Estimations forms. Exchange of paperwork often takes longer than the actual device realization process, especially if Client pays by Postal M.O. or trade (as payment clearance process is virtually instantaneous for these types of payment, all other checks and money orders require clearing). We cannot ship any completed CD project without first receiving full payment (and payment clears) AND proper CDAF and Estimations forms (we reserve the right to waive either or both forms, however, if we waive a form, all of the provisions and obligations of that form still 100% apply) for the CD project (the CDAF form is Online, we can provide the Estimations Form by email, but both forms must be returned to us by snail mail). NOTE THAT ADVANCED PAYMENT NEVER OBLIGATES US TO UNDERTAKE A CD PROJECT, IS NOT A GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE AND SUCCESSFULLY TEST ANY CD PROJECT, DOES NOT ESTABLISH THE ESTIMATED TIME AND COST WE LATER DERIVE FOR THE CD PROJECT, AND NEVER IMPLIES THAT THE CD DEVICE IS AN OFF-THE-SHELF OR OVER-THE-COUNTER DEVICE. IF YOU PAY US AT LEAST 1/3rd-$1 FOR A CD PROJECT PRIOR TO PROVIDING US YOUR CDAF OR ESTIMATIONS FORM, AND WE HAVE RECEIVED NO OBJECTIONS FROM YOU WITHIN 3 DAYS OF RECEIVING YOUR PAYMENT, THEN IT IS REASONABLE FOR US TO ASSUME THAT: (1) You are very serious about us doing your CD Project and your payment amounts to a contract for us to do your CD Project, (2) You are in a rush to get your CD Project done and want to eliminate or minimize all delays, AND (3) You will follow up with your properly completed CDAF and Estimations Form (unless we waived either or both forms). UPON OUR RECEIPT OF YOUR ADVANCED PAYMENT WITH NO OBJECTIONS WITHIN 3 DAYS AND WE DECIDE WE CAN DO YOUR CD PROJECT AND IT IS ACCEPTABLE TO US, WE WILL THEN UNDERTAKE YOUR CD PROJECT AS IF YOU HAD ALREADY SUBMITTED PROPER CDAF AND ESTIMATIONS FORM CONTRACTS (even before you payment has cleared).
We realize that orders do occasionally get lost in the mail, and try as hard as we do to serve you fast, accurately and completely, we do once in a while make mistakes. IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOUR CD (or any part of it) IS MISSING OR WAS NOT SHIPPED, OR WE SHIPPED YOU THE WRONG CD, YOU MUST PROVIDE US WITHIN 30 DAYS OF WHEN YOU SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED YOUR CD (based on these Policies), IN WRITING (by email or mail, and even if you had previously called us), SIGNED AND DATED BY YOU, YOUR ACCURATE, CURRENT AND COMPLETE NAME, SHIPPING ADDRESS, EMAIL ADDRESS, WHAT YOU ORDERED, HOW YOU PAID, YOUR TOTAL PAYMENT (must include all required Item prices, S/H, permitted discounts, any applicable sales-type tax), ANY PROOF THAT YOU HAVE THAT WE RECEIVED YOUR PAYMENT AND WHEN WE RECEIVED IT, A LIST OF ALL ITEMS (if any) YOU DID RECEIVE FROM US (eg: partial order, wrong order), AND THE HISTORY OF YOUR CD (including all phone calls and writings about it). This is to protect both of us and to minimize delays and mistakes. IF WE SENT YOU THE WRONG OR BROKEN CD OR ITEMS, YOU MUST ALSO NOTIFY US IN WRITING (delivered email or Postal Mail) WITHIN 14 DAYS OF ITS RECEIPT AND SHIP BACK TO US WITHIN 30 DAYS OF ITS RECEIPT AND WITH OUR PRIOR EXPLICIT APPROVAL AND IN THE RECEIVED CONDITION, OR YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THE WRONG CD (we will reimburse you for all return shipping on wrong orders and items). NOTE: A CD may come labeled with a different title for it than the exact wording of your CD on your CDAF for a number of reasons, such as misspelling or abbreviation, inadvertent mistake, a changed name for that device-type, a more descriptive name for the actual device based on the CDAF, and/or to attempt to better protect the Client's security or privacy. A CD THAT IS DESIGNED FOR WHAT YOU CONTRACTED FOR IN YOUR CDAF BUT IS LABELED DIFFERENTLY THAN IN YOUR CDAF OR LABELING IS MISSING IS NEVER GROUNDS FOR A REFUND OR REPLACEMENT. If you don't like the way a CD device is labeled if different than the name of the device-type you contracted for, you can always re-label it to your liking, or return it to us and we will reasonably relabel it for you free of charge. See below for more polices dealing with alleged wrong device types, unacceptable labeling, and incomplete devices.
OUR CDAF COST ESTIMATES INCLUDE ALL S/H WE PAY. WE NEVER SEPARATELY BILL FOR S/H COSTS OR FOR BANK FEES (eg: credit card, etc.), IF ANY, IN OUR COST ESTIMATES. NOR DO WE HAVE ANY UNDISCLOSED OR HIDDEN FEES. HOWEVER, IF WE ARE CHARGED ANY BANK FEES OR ANY OTHER FEES RELEVANT TO A REFUNDED TRANSACTION, WE WILL DEDUCT FROM THE REFUND THE FULL AMOUNTS OF THESE FEES REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF OR REASON FOR THE REFUND. If in the case of Ebay, the Client informs eBay that the eBay transaction was cancelled due to mutual agreement between us and the Client, and eBay refunds us our Final Value Fee, we will refund to the Client his/her part of the refund the Client forfeited to us to cover our Final Value Fee. WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR ANY FEES CHARGED TO CLIENTS OR TO ANYONE ELSE MADE BY THIRD PARTIES (eg: bank, credit card company, etc.). If someone sends us anything that is to be later returned to him/her, he/she must pay us our S/H fee for the returned item before we will ship. To the extent the item can be packed up with anything we would ship to the person, we will just simply add it to that package and the person pays no amount for the return of the items to be returned.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE ANY FORM OF PAYMENT WITHOUT LIABILITY TO US. FURTHERMORE, WE NEVER SHIP PRIOR TO OUR RECEIPT AND OUR SATISFACTORY CLEARANCE OF FULL PAYMENT FOR THE ORDER, AND WITHOUT LIABILITY TO US. FURTHERMORE, SINCE NEW SCAMS CAN AND DO SUDDENLY OCCUR, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO TAKE WHATEVER REASONABLE ACTIONS WE DECIDE AT ANY TIME TO PROTECT OURSELVES WITHOUT PRIOR NOTIFICATION OR LIABILITY TO US - EVEN IF WE DO SO IN ERROR - INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO OUR RIGHT TO NOT BELIEVE YOU, TO RESPOND TO YOU, AND/OR TO TAKE ACTIONS WITHOUT ANY LIABILITY TO US (our responses and actions to you may consist of acting, role-playing, game-playing and/or tongue-in-cheek responses and actions to humor you or to ferret out exactly what your scam is and the real reason(s) you targeted us). Some scams now take the form of fraudulent Postal MO, bank-type, etc. payments in which spoofed emails or website URLs for these forms of payments are sent to the merchant as "proof" that payment has been made or is on its way. Sometimes, this "proof" is then followed by a worthless check or MO. There is also a myriad of other scams, including overpayment and commission scams, pyramid scams, check processing scams, dealership scams, phishing scams, etc. All payments must be made exactly to "LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC." (be sure to include the "INC."), there must be no damage (eg: tears, cuts, smearing, staining, spindling, folding, wrinkling, etc.), unreadability, lack of a valid buyer signature, date or amount, use of a pencil or an ink not acceptable to banks, or errors or corrections made to your form or amount of payment, or counterfeit or forged payment, or delayed or stopped payment action, or refusal or failure to comply with any of our payment Policies, or any other defect in your payment which results in or can result in payment rejection, payment cancellation, stopped payment, payment reversal, payment clearance which exceeds 30 days, extra payment processing fees, or any other payment failure, payment clearance uncertainty or risk, or any other serious breach of contract. The Client must also be sure to pay the correct amount for his/her purchase (as we take 63-93 days from deposit date to refund overpayments, and we never ship for underpayments, uncleared payments, uncertain payments, or contradictory payment amounts). The making of any of these mistakes may result in storage fees, interest on any unpaid balance (1.5% per month), delay or cancellation of any CD project by us, disposal of the project by us, loss of non-refundable 1/3rd downpayment for partially completed CD projects, loss of the entire CD project amount for successfully completed CD projects, revocation of Good Client status with us, and/or possible collection or legal action by us against the Client - all at no liability to us.
BOUNCED PAYMENT, STOPPED PAYMENT, REFUNDED PAYMENT TO HIM/HER, INVALID PAYMENT OR PAYMENT MADE USING A METHOD THAT WE STATE IS UNACCEPTABLE TO US (ie: BAD PAYMENT), OR REFUSAL TO PAY IN FULL SITUATIONS: In all cases where the Client has made us a bad payment, regardless of his/her intentions, the Client is fully responsible for knowing about and informing us in writing (eg: email) within 4 hours of taking any such action. A bad payment never relieves the Client from his/her contractual obligation to promptly pay for the Item in full, but is in fact a breach of contract-type action. Therefore, a bad payment is never considered to be a permitted CD project cancellation or refund type action. Stop payments and forced or requested refunds can take months to be implemented by banks and sometimes a bank will take no action at all which means that the payment turns out to be a good payment. Once a stop payment or request for refund action is taken, it can take several months to determine whether or not the payment is actually bad. If the Client causes a stop payment action, request for refund action, or any other action which we believe can adversely affect, negate or interfere with payment clearance or result in payment delay of more than 10 days or cancellation, we reserve the right to ship the Item 63-183 days from deposit date without liability to us (IF the payment has not become bad by then and the Client has not provided us a valid (ie: cleared) PMO replacement payment). WE STRONGLY ADVISE THAT YOU DO NOT DO A STOP PAYMENT ON US FOR ANY REASON because we won't ship until and unless we are reasonably satisfied that your full payment has cleared which can take us 63-183 days from our deposit of it; and refunding a double payment or an overpayment amount can also take us 63-183 days to refund from our deposit of it. And we will neither refund the 1/3rd downpayment on any CD project we have completed at least 1/3rd of the work on it, nor ship a CD project in any state of completion or testing without full and fully cleared payment in our hands first, nor cancel a CD project based on a bad payment. If the Client makes us a bad payment or he/she refuses to pay for his/her product or service once both successfully completed and tested, then it is the Client's legal obligation to promptly pay in full for his/her contracted-for CD project, PLUS 20% of the project amount ($50 minimum) as a processing fee, plus all bad payment fees and charges we pay because of the bad payment, plus all storage fees that may result due to any delay in getting the completed CD project to the Client, plus all accrued interest charges, by using a valid PMO or cash payment within 10 days of his/her bad payment action date or the Client is otherwise in breach of contract (in which case storage fees, interest on any unpaid balance (1.5% per month), delay or cancellation of the CD project by us, disposal of the project by us, loss of non-refundable 1/3rd downpayment, revocation of Good Client status with us, and/or possible collection or legal action by us against the Client may result). If the Client makes a valid PMO or cash replacement payment, normal project and shipping scheduling automatically resumes from that point. In cases where the Client made a bad payment to us or refused payment, and then paid in full within 10 days using a valid PMO payment, and any stop payment or refund action is not performed by a bank (ie: payment is good), we will refund the Client his/her overpayment in 63-183 days from deposit date. We will refund earlier should we receive a verified written statement from the Client's bank official clearly stating that the stop payment or request for refund order was irrevocably cancelled AND that our Client's check or MO totally cleared with his/her bank. We reserve the right to not provide any product or service to a Client for which we have not first received from the Client full payment and which has cleared to our reasonable satisfaction. All actions we take or do not take described in this paragraph are totally without liability to us.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO RESPOND

AND/OR TO PROMPTLY STOP OR CHANGE OUR RESPONSE TO ANY INQUIRY, APPLICATION FORM,
ESTIMATIONS FORM OR ANY OTHER FORM OR INQUIRY WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR LIABILITY

OR IMMORAL, TO TRY TO GET US TO "ADMIT" TO ANYTHING ILLEGAL, UNETHICAL
OR IMMORAL, OR WHICH IS OTHERWISE MANIPULATIVE, DISHONEST, DECEPTIVE OR MALEVOLENT.
THE INQUIRER, APPLICANT OR CLIENT ASSUMES FULL AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY,
THEREBY FOREVER TOTALLY WAIVING, FOREGOING AND ABANDONING ANY AND ALL FORMS
OF DEFENSE, IMMUNITY AND STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS HE/SHE BELIEVES HE/SHE MAY BE
ENTITLED TO, FOR ALL STATEMENTS AND ALL SUCH ACTIONS HE/SHE MAKES TO US IN ANY
FORM, WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE TRUE OR FALSE STATEMENTS/ACTIONS, WHETHER OR NOT
THEY ARE EXPLICIT OR IMPLIED, AND WHETHER OR NOT ANYONE AT LONE STAR CONSULTING,
INC. SUSPECTS, BELIEVES OR KNOWS THEM TO BE TRUE OR FALSE STATEMENTS/ACTIONS
OR ACTS OR DOES NOT ACT ON THEM. If you have submitted a form or inquiry
to us which clearly violates any of our Policies or description of that type
of device or advice, we will likely take no steps to contact you about your
form or inquiry, and we may not try to correct it for you; however, if you submit
an acceptable corrected version in writing within 30 days of our receipt of
your last unacceptable version, we will evaluate your corrected version only.
Our goals are always
to do our reasonably best to provide our Clients successfully completed and
tested CD projects - even better than what the Client's CDAF specifies AND prior
to our Time Estimate date AND at less cost to the Client than our Cost Estimate
amount. We want our Clients to return to us for their future CD projects needs.
However, since all of our devices are unique, customized, handmade and built
from scratch, usually consisting of 100s of parts and materials, it is virtually
impossible to predict how well we can reach any of our goals - even when many
times before we met these goals. There are many unpredictables. While we minimize
our parts/materials/tools/equipment unpredictables by accessing large inventories
and great redundancy, we cannot totally eliminate these unpredictables; once
in awhile, resulting in CD devices lack of timely completions and even outright
failures. Doing devices right is much better than doing them fast. If we must
totally recreate a CD device from scratch (if OK with the Client), we will do
so. Unless the Client contributed to the problem, which is usually not the case,
we do not charge the Client more. However, in almost all such cases, our original
Time Estimate no longer applies, because often such failures occur at the CD
project's end period or during Final Testing due some unexpected part, material,
tool or test equipment failure. One Client-caused problem is the type of Client
who frequently asks for CD Project updates (we update when significant project
milestones are reached; requested updates 1+ weeks apart are reasonable but
more frequent updates are unreasonable and harassing). If we tell the Client
to please not bother us so much for updates or requested additional info, and
the Client still persists with these requests, it can make us so nervous, rushed
and feeling harassed that it becomes far more likely that we make errors, ranging
from minor to catastrophic, for which the Client bears full liability.
ALL FORMS, ATTACHMENTS AND ALL OTHER DOCUMENTS PROVIDED TO US BECOME THE PROPERTY OF LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. ALL HARDWARE, MONIES AND ITEMS OF VALUE PROVIDED TO US WHICH DO NOT INCLUDE A CORRECT RETURN ADDRESS OR SUFFICIENT RETURN SHIPPING & HANDLING OR REMAINS UNCLAIMED FOR MORE THAN 60 DAYS BECOME THE PROPERTY OF LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. WITHOUT LIABILITY TO LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. OR ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH IT. Except for original forms and documents provided by us (eg: CDAF, Estimates Form, etc.), Clients are strongly advised not to send us any original documents and not to send us any hardware which does not include sufficient return S/H if they want or need to have the documents or hardware returned to them.
In the case of lost, stolen or damaged Items while in the hands of shipper, whatever insurance proceeds the shipper pays us, if any, we will gladly, fully and immediately provide to the Client. LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY FOR ANY COSTS, LOSSES, DAMAGES AND/OR DELAYS WHICH OCCUR IN PART OR WHOLE TO OR BY ANY OF OUR PROJECTS, PRODUCTS, SERVICES, PERSONNEL, CLIENTS, AND/OR THIRD PARTIES BECAUSE OF: (1) ANY "ACT OF GOD," ACCIDENT, DEATH, DISEASE, INCAPACITATING INJURY, NATURAL DISASTER, VIOLENT CRIME, EPIDEMIC, SERIOUS SAFETY OR SECURITY THREAT, ACT OF WAR, OR TERRORISM. (2) ANY ACCIDENT, INTENTIONAL ACTION, NON-VIOLENT CRIME, WEATHER CONDITION, FLOOD, FIRE, EXPLOSION, ENERGY OUTAGE OR BAD ENERGY, MEDICAL CONDITION, MISTAKE, BAD LUCK, UNPROVEN/UNPROVABLE BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT CAUSE OF PHYSICAL OR FINANCIAL INJURY, BANKING, POSTAL OR SHIPPING ERROR OR DELAY, LEGAL OR REGULATORY SITUATION, TAX SITUATION, FINANCIAL SITUATION, OR ANY OTHER EVENT, CONDITION OR SITUATION SO SERIOUS WE COULD NOT OR CANNOT HAVE EITHER REASONABLY FORESEEN OR CONTROLLED TO AVOID, PREVENT OR SUBSTANTIALLY LESSEN LOSSES, DAMAGES AND/OR DELAYS ARISING FROM IT/THEM. (3) ANY ACTION MADE BY A CLIENT, BY FINANCIAL INSTITUTION, THIRD PARTY, OR BY US (ie: any action that the Client directly or indirectly caused us to take) WHICH RESULTS IN A CRIME, MISREPRESENTATION, COST, LOSS, DEVICE OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION, LOSS OF USE OR AVAILABILITY OF ANY REQUIRED EQUIPMENT/TOOL/PART/MATERIAL, DELAY, MISTAKE, PENALTY, FINE, FEE, CHARGE AND/OR LOSS OF FREEDOM ADVERSE TO THE CLIENT OR TO US. (4) WHERE ANY OF OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES WAS SOLD TO, BOUGHT FOR, USED ON, TESTED ON, OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED OR APPLIED TO ANY OTHER PERSON OR NON-HUMAN ENTITY (in which case, the purchaser of the product or service assumes total responsibility and liability to all affected parties). (5) ANY REASONABLE ACTION WE TAKE TO TRY TO PREVENT, LESSEN, LIMIT, FIX, REVERSE OR DEFEND OURSELVES FROM ANY SUCH COSTS, LOSSES, DAMAGES OR DELAYS IN (1), (2), (3) OR (4) THAT DOES NOT SUBSTANTIALLY IMPROVE THE SITUATION OR CONDITION. Should any of these conditions above that was not caused by or the fault of the Client or by someone else the Client deals with (eg: his/her shipper, bank, supplier, contractor, etc.) result in a delay or added cost to an estimated product or service, we will try to absorb as much of the additional costs as we reasonably can as we never like to exceed our estimated costs or estimated times; however, we may require additional time of possibly 10+ times the originally estimated time period (depending on seriousness of problem), starting from date of incident, and possibly costs can also be affected (eg: replacing hardware damaged in a sudden storm). If and when the problem(s) is resolved, we will immediately resume normal operations but with added work hours to try to catch up. If the Client's CDAF results in any device or action which causes or results in harm to the Client, to us and/or to anyone or anything else, the Client assumes 100% responsible and is liable for any and all injuries and damages caused to all afflicted parties. Neither Lone Star Consulting, Inc. nor any of its officials, employees, contractors or agents bear any responsibility or liability relevant to the matters of this paragraph, which means that the Client forever waives, foregoes, nullifies and abandons any and all rights, privileges and immunities he/she/it believes to have relevant to the matters of this paragraph, and he/she/it will immediately reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless all direct and indirect costs, losses and/or fees caused to Lone Star Consulting, Inc., and/or to any and all of its officials, employees, contractors, and/or agents for any type of complaint or other potential or real action filed by the Client relevant to any matter of this paragraph.
BAD PAYMENTS; CLIENT DEBTS: THE CLIENT SHALL FULLY AND IMMEDIATELY REIMBURSE, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS ANY AND ALL DIRECT AND INDIRECT COSTS, LOSSES AND/OR FEES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BAD PAYMENT AMOUNTS, BANKING FEES, COLLECTION AGENCY FEES, ATTORNEY FEES, LEGAL COSTS, AND INTEREST (1.5% per month) RESULTING TO LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. AND/OR TO ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH IT CAUSED BY OR RESULTING FROM HIS/HER BAD PAYMENT (regardless of the cause of the bad payment). WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY FOR ANY CLIENT DEBTS WHETHER OR NOT ASSOCIATED WITH ANY TRANSACTION INVOLVING US DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY. IF A CLIENT OF OURS OWES YOU MONEY OR PROPERTY, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY FOR PAYING OR RETURNING ANY PART OF IT OR HELPING YOU COLLECT IT, UNLESS WE ARE ORDERED TO BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION. IF A CLIENT OWES US MONEY AND/OR PROPERTY, AND REFUSES TO PAY US IN FULL WITHIN 30 DAYS OF A LETTER, EMAIL, PHONE CALL OR OTHER ATTEMPT WE MAKE TO NOTIFY HIM/HER, WE MAY CONFISCATE WHATEVER MONIES AND/OR PROPERTIES OF THE CLIENT WITHOUT LIABILITY TO US OR TO ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH US (eg: Our officers, employees, contractors, suppliers, etc.); WHICH FAIR VALUES WE WILL APPLY TOWARDS SATISFACTION OF THE DEBT PLUS ALL ADDITIONAL FEES, CHARGES AND COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEBT THE CLIENT OWES US. ALL OTHER LEGAL REMEDIES ALSO FULLY APPLY.

WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION THAT THIS WEBSITE, ITS MATERIALS, ANY OF OUR OTHER PROMOTIONS OR PUBLICATIONS, OR ANY OF OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ARE APPROPRIATE OR AVAILABLE FOR USE ANYWHERE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES, AND ACCESS TO THIS WEBSITE OR TO ANY OTHER PROMOTION, OTHER PUBLICATION, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FROM PLACES WHERE THEY ARE LIKELY TO BE ILLEGAL IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO ACCESS A LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. WEBPAGE, PROMOTION, PUBLICATION, MATERIALS OR ANY OF OUR PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FROM PLACES INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES WHERE THEY ARE LIKELY TO BE ILLEGAL DO SO OF THEIR OWN VOLITION AND ARE TOTALLY AND SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR COMPLIANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS. CERTAIN TYPES OF CD SERVICES MAY REQUIRE A GOVERNMENT AND/OR CORPORATE (eg: utility company) LICENSE, PERMIT OR OTHER APPROVAL TO LEGALLY BUY, POSSESS, USE, MODIFY, STORE OR SELL (eg: some RF transmitters require FCC approval). CLIENT ASSUMES ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MEETING ALL LICENSING, PERMIT, OTHER APPROVAL AND ALL OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR JURISDICTION AND WHEN THEY ARE FIRST REQUIRED FOR ANY CD SERVICE OR ITEM WE MAY PROVIDE CLIENT. Certain laws forbid that some products cannot be shipped to certain destinations or exported to certain foreign countries without prior Government approval. If we believe any product we sell falls under any shipment restrictive laws, we cannot ship to where the law forbids us to ship. The Client assumes full responsibility of determining the legality of export, receipt, use and possession of these products and will take all appropriate and necessary steps at their own expense for these products, and to document these to us. The Client also assumes full responsibility for any attempt to contract with us for a product we cannot legally provide to him/her, and we assume no liability for obeying any known or believed legal restrictions we have or encounter that forbid us to ship anything to anybody and/or to anywhere for any reason. In all such cases where we have successfully completed and tested the device, no refund is due. And in all such cases where we unknowingly made such a shipment, the Client assumes full liability for all consequences which results. Unless specifically authorized by us, all parts and subsystems we sell are not authorized for any system or application which requires special or enhanced quality and reliability characteristics, nor in any system or application where the failure of such system or application may result in loss or damage to property, or death or injury to any living thing. We assume no responsibility or liability for any infringement of a third party's right which may result from the use of a product or service we sell, nor can we or do we provide any license for or indemnity against the intellectual or property rights of any third parties. We assume no responsibility or liability for any failure or unusual or unexpected operation resulting from misuse, abuse, neglect, improper installation, improper operation, improper handling, improper storage, repair, alteration, upgrade, accident, Act of God, unpredictable anomalous event, criminal activity, war or combat activity, law enforcement activity, tortious activity, breach of contract activity, or unusual physical or electrical stress including, but not limited to, exposure to parameters beyond the specified maximum ratings or operation outside the specified operating range or activity. Abuse, improper installation and improper operation include, but are not limited to, improper installation of batteries (eg: reverse-polarity connections), or the use of improper, noisy, unclean, poorly regulated or harmonic-rich VAC power, or badly wired or defective wall outlets. If you receive your electric power straight from a U.S. city or regional utility company, in most cases, improper, noisy, unclean, poorly regulated or harmonic-rich VAC power are not problems; however, they are apparently much more serious problems if you are using wind, solar, water, battery, personal generator, or home-, neighborhood- or vehicle-generated power, or power in a rural area and many foreign countries. The Client assumes full responsibility for all power connections, and the burden of the proof rests entirely with the Client, if proof is ever required, to prove that he/she has clean, stable, well-regulated, electric power within 5% of the line voltage and frequency we specify the device for. For example, if a device specified for 120VAC, 60Hz power operation has much electromagnetic noise or transients on it, or the outlet is wired incorrectly or is improperly grounded, or the power is not within 5% of 120VAC in voltage or within 5% of the 60Hz frequency, or is not well-regulated, or the power includes harmonics of 60Hz, or is derived from an outlet that is non-polarized when the device's power connector is polarized, all guarantees are immediately null and void. Also, when we claim that a device will remove transients, surges, lightning strikes, etc., this means that the device has wired into it MOV, gas discharge tube (GDT) and/or capacitor transient protection parts to provide substantial (but never absolute) protection from transients, surges, lightning strikes or similar; and greater safety or power reliability will very likely result these are never claims by us of greater safety or power reliability. And unless otherwise stated as the major function of the device, all such claims by us do not mean that the device will convert bad electric power into good power, but are just secondary and minor features of the device. Regardless of what our claims are regarding transients, surges, lightning strikes and similar, we assume no liability for any death, injury, damage or loss caused by transients, surges, lightning strikes or similar to anyone or anything.
WE ARE NOT LICENSED LEGAL OR MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS. WE CANNOT AND DO NOT PROVIDE YOU LEGAL OR MEDICAL ADVICE OR LEGAL OR MEDICAL OPINION, OR MAKE A LEGAL OR MEDICAL DEVICE, CLAIM OR JUDGMENT FOR ANY CLIENT, OR APPLY FOR OR FILL OUT ANY LEGAL OR MEDICAL FORMS FOR ANY CLIENT (eg: FCC license application).

We always want to be reasonable with our Clients by promptly providing them the best devices we can reasonably do for them. While we seldom receive Client complaints considering the many, many CD projects we have done over the years and the fully legal but controversial nature of some of the products and services we offer, there have been a few extortionary attempts by clearly dishonest Clients who demanded money from us usually by threatening us with criminal or regulatory complaints without first exhausting all of their arbitration remedies or even returning the device or service we provided them. Before even asking for any kind of refund, the Client must return the device to us in the manner we require as per our policies, and in the condition he/she received it, clean with minimal wear and tear, and at least give us a reasonable chance to repair or replace it. Some powerful interests do not want us to provide mind control and electronic attack detection and countermeasure devices to the general public, and would love to fabricate any reason to try to intimidate us.

Furthermore, the Client fully agrees not to complain against us based on any apparent loophole, technicality, confusion or contradiction without giving us a minimum of 30 days from our receipt of his/her specific written description of the mistake to try to correct the mistake, and if we can reasonably correct it so it is no longer an apparent loophole, technicality, confusion or contradiction to the Client, the Client agrees not to complain against us in which any part of the complaint is based on such a mistake, but if we can not or do not reasonably fully correct the mistake to the satisfaction of the Client and the Client still wants to do the transaction with us, the Client agrees to forever waive, forego, nullify and abandon any and all claims based on the mistake). We sincerely want to do the best job we can for our Clients. While we try to be clear, accurate, complete and reasonable with our Policies and descriptions, like everyone else, we do occasionally make mistakes, misstatements, omissions and oversights, and when correctly identified as such, it is reasonable and fair to give us a reasonable chance to correct them so we can continually serve our Clients the best that we reasonably can do.

OFFERS NO OTHER MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE FOR ANY CD SERVICE OR ITEM. NOTE THAT IF
YOU CLAIM THAT A DEVICE IS VERIFIABLY DAMAGED BY US PRIOR TO SHIPPING, YOU RETURN
IT FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT, AND WE FIND AFTER INSPECTING AND TESTING IT THAT
THE DEVICE WAS DAMAGED BY US AND WE SUCCESSFULLY REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DEVICE,
WE WILL RETURN THE DEVICE TO YOU AT NO COST TO YOU FOR THE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT
AND THE RETURN S/H WILL BE ON US.HOWEVER, IF YOU CLAIM THAT A DEVICE IS NOT

THE DEVICE IS EITHER WORKING FINE OR WAS NOT SUBSTANTIALLY DAMAGED BY US AS
PER WHAT ITS FINAL DESIGN CAN REASONABLY ELECTRONICALLY AND MECHANICALLY FUNCTIONALLY
DO BASED ON YOUR CDAF DESCRIPTION, WE WILL RETURN THE DEVICE TO YOU. RETURN
S/H WILL BE ON YOU, PLUS THE COST OF REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS, IF ANY . As
an Online CD project provider, we virtually never know, or able to verify, or
exert any control over the uses a Client subjects our devices to or the environments
it is used in, nor what is/are the actual cause(s) of any claimed manifestations,
nor be able to verify the Client's claimed situations, observations and manifestations,
if any. Our experience shows that there are great variations in such uses and
environments, and observations may be erroneous. Therefore, we cannot and
do not guarantee end results - only electronic and mechanical functioning. And
while we do extensive testing on our unique CD devices before we ship to be
reasonably certain that our devices are rugged and reliably perform years of
flawless service, we cannot claim any level of reliability because legal reliability
claims always depend on statistics and statistics can't be applied to unique
Items (samples of 1) and only have meaning for mass-produced identical items
(100+ to be confident). Also note again that while the device we provide you
will leave here electronically and/or mechanically functioning as per what its
final design can practically and technically do based on your CDAF description
(eg: an ultrasonic transmitter will transmit ultrasonic sound) and after extensive
testing by us, we never claim or guarantee that a device we provide you will
"work" to solve any personal, medical, legal, paranormal, supernatural, commercial,
industrial, engineering or scientific problem you may have - only that it will
electronically and/or mechanically function to produce the electronic and/or
mechanical output, receive or detect the electronic and/or mechanical input,
and/or process the electronic and/or mechanical input and/or output that you
had contracted for in your CDAF. Note that some devices detect inputs and/or
produce outputs that cannot be readily detected by the five senses. For example,
ultrasonic and electromagnetic devices can produce very powerful outputs with
little or no indication by one's conscious senses. And devices designed to detect
specific items or receive specific signals will not indicate if the item being
detected or signal being received is not present in adequate quantity/intensity
to be detected with the orientation of the detection transducer/antenna used,
or the item/signal that is present is only similar to the one contracted for
(eg: (1) Wind velocity meter is accurate only when oriented in the direction
of an adequate wind, and it will not work as a water velocity meter; (2) Gold
detector designed to detect deep-down gold bars may not detect deep down iron
bars or surface gold earrings unless you also specified those functions in your
CDAF).

END RESULTS: For example: If you
are convinced that a perp is using ultrasonic signals to cause you migraine
headaches, and you contract with us for our Shielded Helmet (SH). You later
find that our SH did not eliminate your migraines (ie: your desired end results),
yet the SH severely attenuates ultrasonic signals (ie: the SH electronically
and mechanically works as described), you cannot return the SH to us for a refund/free
replacement, or for a free or low-cost repair or modification. Some manifestations
that Clients and potential Clients report to us we believe can be caused be
a medical condition or can be caused by a non-medical situation (eg: by an electronic
weapon). Our policy of not guaranteeing end results is because we have no way
to verify that your manifestations are caused by what you believe is causing
them, nor that you are properly using our device according to its User Manual,
nor that you are using our device at the places, times, directions and manners
to effectively countermeasure the perp's attack signals. In addition, we cannot
and do not refund, replace, modify or repair based on unsatisfactory or unexpected
medical-like end results because we are NOT licensed medical professionals,
and we clearly state that we cannot and do not claim that any of our devices
can be used to cure, diagnose or treat any possible medical condition, and that
none of our devices are sold as medical or medically-assistive devices. For
example, if we guaranteed that any device of ours will cure a medical-like condition,
we would be in violation of the law, regardless of whether or not the condition
had a medical causation - even if the end result of using our device was a cure;
therefore - no matter how strongly we believe in our devices, we cannot guarantee
end results. For details on our guarantees, see our policies.htm webpage. We
repeatedly test each device before we ship it, and repair or replace to fix
any problem, if any.
Because we thoroughly test our functional Items here ((1) Continuous 24-Hour Operation Testing, (2) Vibration Testing, and (3) Temperature Cycling Testing) just prior to shipping, functional items rarely break and need to be returned to us because of lack of function. PRIOR TO RETURNING AN ITEM TO US (sold to you by us as a functioning Item) FOR REPAIR, REPLACEMENT OR REFUND (return must be within 30 days of your receipt of Item), YOU AGREE TO FIRST NOTIFIY US IN WRITING (within 14 days of your receipt of Item), AND PROVIDE US AT LEAST 7 DAYS TO RESPOND. IN YOUR WRITTEN NOTICE TO US, YOU MUST CLEARLY STATE WHETHER OR NOT THE ITEM ARRIVED DAMAGED (and if so, you must retain all shipping materials and you must notify the shipper at the time), AND IF NOT, WHEN AND HOW ITEM BECAME NON-FUNCTIONAL, AND IN WHAT WAY IS IT NON-FUNCTIONAL. You also agree to first completely read the User Manual (provided for all CDs, and for some eBay Items) to make sure you understand how the Item works and whether or not you are operating it correctly (we have found that what few non-functional complaints we get are mostly due to the Client not reading the User Manual and not knowing how to properly operate the device). You also agree to clearly and fully truthfully and completely and freely respond to all relevant questions we may have so that we can understand the cause, source and possible remedy of the problem. This is important because if there is any way for us to resolve the problem at the Client's end, that saves both the Client and us the time and cost of shipping the device back and forth and repairing or replacing the device. WHATEVER WARRANTEE MAY OTHERWISE APPLY (including repair, replacement or refund), IT WILL NOT APPLY IF YOU DO NOT CLEARLY AND FULLY TRUTHFULLY AND COMPLETELY RESPOND TO ALL OF OUR RELEVANT QUESTIONS IN WRITING, OR YOUR RESPONSES INDICATE THAT THE NON-FUNCTION WAS THE RESULT OF SOMEONE OR SOMETHING AT YOUR END DOING SOMETHING CONTRARY TO THE USER MANUAL INSTRUCTIONS OR NORMAL HANDLING AND OPERATION OF THE DEVICE WHICH LIKELY DAMAGED THE DEVICE, OR YOU OTHERWISE SUBSTANTIALLY VIOLATED ONE OF OUR POLICIES. ALL REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS WE MAKE ARE TOTALLY AT OUR EXPENSE (you pay return S/H only). WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHETHER TO REPAIR OR REPLACE A NON-FUNCTIONING ITEM (which was sold to you as a functional Item) AT OUR DISCRETION AT NO LIABILITY TO US. As per our CD warrantee, we refund the 66.7% cost of the Item if we cannot repair or replace Item within a reasonable time.
IF AFTER WE HAVE UNDERTAKEN YOUR CD PROJECT, YOU THEN ASK FOR A REFUND, WE WILL CHARGE YOU THE 1/3RD NONREFUNDABLE DOWNPAYMENT (based on our full cost estimate) FOR YOUR CD PROJECT IF WE HAVE NOT AT LEAST 75% COMPLETED IT WHEN WE RECEIVE YOUR REFUND REQUEST. HOWEVER, WE WILL CHARGE YOU THE FULL ESTIMATED COST IF WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED (AND SUCCESSFULLY FINAL TESTED) YOUR CD PROJECT (whether or not we have shipped it) WHEN WE RECEIVE YOUR REFUND REQUEST. If we cannot successfully complete the Client's CD project for any reason and he/she has paid us more than the required nonrefundable 1/3rd downpayment for it, or if we successfully complete the CD project and he/she overpaid for it (subsequent Cost Estimate was less than his/her prepayment), we will refund the balance according to our refund Policies stated herein.
THE MAXIMUM TOTAL LIFETIME REFUND PER PERSON IS ONE REFUND AND LIMITED TO 66.67% (2/3rds) OF THE PERSON'S TOTAL PAYMENT FOR A CD PROJECT IF WE COMPLETED OR ATTEMPTED TO COMPLETE THE CD PROJECT, OR 100% IF WE DID NOT OR COULD NOT ATTEMPT TO COMPLETE THE CD PROJECT. NO REFUND IS AUTOMATICALLY PROVIDED. REFUNDS MUST BE REASONABLY JUSTIFIED UNDER OUR COMPLETION, RETURN, REFUND, WARRANTEE, REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT POLICIES STATED HEREIN. FOR ALL RETURNED ITEMS, YOU MUST ALSO PROVIDE A WRITTEN, SIGNED AND DATED STATEMENT IN WHICH YOU CLEARLY STATE THAT YOU HAVE NEITHER BENEFITED FROM THE ITEM NOR PROVIDED IT TO NOR SHARED IT WITH ANYONE ELSE, AND THAT YOU HAVE NEITHER COPIED NOR DISTRIBUTED THE ITEM IN ANY MANNER OR TO ANY EXTENT (see below), NOR COPIED THE ITEM, NOR REVERSE-ENGINEERED THE ITEM. LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. OFFERS NO OTHER MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE FOR ANY ITEM OR CONTRACT. As a mail-order custom-house or supplier, we usually do not know nor do we have any control over the uses a Client will subject an item to or the environments it is used in, and the experience of our people has shown us that there are great variations in such uses and environments, some reasonable and some unreasonable.
IF THE CLIENT PAID MORE THAN A 1/3RD DOWN PAYMENT FOR HIS/HER CD PROJECT AND WE WERE UNABLE FOR ANY REASON TO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THE CD PROJECT UNDER THESE POLICIES, AT OUR DISCRETION AND WITHOUT LIABILITY TO US, WE MAY REQUIRE THAT THE CLIENT'S REFUND BE PARTIALLY OR TOTALLY IN THE FORM OF A CREDIT WE PROVIDE TO THE CLIENT. The Client uses that credit to contract with us for additional current or future CD Project(s) or other purchases from us, based on their resulting costs. If the resulting CD Project(s) costs more (cost-of-CD project(s) + S/H) than 10% greater than the credit amount, Client must promptly pay us the balance. Any credit amount remaining after 60 days from our issuance of the credit to the Client will be donated to us for our research or to a church or charity chosen by us.
AT OUR DISCRETION AND WITHOUT LIABILITY TO US, WE MAY REQUIRE THAT A CLIENT'S REFUND BE PARTIALLY OR TOTALLY IN THE FORM OF A CREDIT WE PROVIDE TO THE CLIENT. We normally invoke this if a refund is justifiable for the Client (eg: we made some serious mistake or omission in a product or service we provided to the Client and the Client either refused to let us repair or replace the product or service totally at our cost, or we are unable to repair or replace the product or service with one that fits the CDAF). The Client uses that credit to contract with us for additional current or future CD Project(s) or other purchases from us, based on their resulting costs. If the resulting CD Project(s) costs more (cost-of-CD project(s) + S/H) than 10% greater than the credit amount, Client must promptly pay us the balance. Any credit amount remaining after 60 days from our issuance of the credit to the Client will be donated to us for our research or to a church or charity chosen by us.
If a part, accessory, feature or function item is missing or damaged, and we cannot repair or replace that item within 30 days of we receiving the returned device, and you are qualified for a refund based on that item (ie: missing or damaged prior to shipping), your refund is proportionally limited to the value of that item. For example, your CDAF describes or implies 10 approximately equal value functions and features your CDAF is specified to have, and one function or one feature are missing, you may be entitled to a 10% refund at most of your 2/3rds balance you paid for your CD device.
TO THE EXTENT NOT EXPLICITLY PROHIBITED BY LAW (including by a court of law with competent jurisdiction), YOU FULLY AND FOREVER WAIVE, FOREGO, NULLIFY AND ABANDON ALL OTHER FORMS OF LEGAL REMEDY THAN WHAT IS EXPLICITLY DESCRIBED AND PERMITTED HEREIN. ALL REFUNDS MUST COME DIRECTLY FROM LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC., AND ARE BASED ON ITS POLICIES. By contacting us or buying from us any type of item or service, you automatically fully agree to all of our Policies stated herein, including but not limited to all of our Policies relevant to returns, refunds and warrantees, without qualifications or reservations.
OUR SPECIAL CAPABILITIES AND SOLUTIONS: Over the last few years, we and our contractor has spent 1,000s of hours searching for the special and often unique equipment, tool, part and material items we require to be able to effectively and efficiently do our jobs as a cutomized devices shop. Much of the things we do are so unique and esoteric there are not commercial sources for all that we need, so we have also spent 1,000s of additional hours fabricating our own items from scratch or from existing items to obtain what we need. For example, while a typical shop may have a dozen or so vise and clamp types, we have 100s of them because we never know what the next project will require. Our items come from many other professions and trades, not just electronics and metalworking. Many of our items are re-purposed items - items that were made for very different purposes than what we use them for (eg: wood dowels used for RF coil forms). We believe that there is no way that anyone else can provide our unique custom devices shop capabilities and solutions without having made the great efforts and expenses we have made described herein. Still, we sometimes cannot find or make the ideal item we need for a special need - no one sells it anywhere on Earth we know of and we cannot fabricate it here to our standards (we fabricate a lot here, but not everything possible in the world). Still, we do the best job we can to optimally serve our Clients. Because we use a very wide range of equipment, tools, parts, materials and techniques to do our Customized Devices (CD) projects, when we use the term, "repair" on our website, for example, we mean it in the general sense: To fix or to workaround. We do our reasonable best to realize all of the critical functions and features the Client requires for his/her CD project. If that requires replacing a bad part, repairing and/or replacing a problem subsection, and/or installing, moving or removing something to fix or workaround the problem, we will attempt to do that without liability to us, even if it is at the cost of a non-critical function or feature and/or reduces cosmetic appearance. Our goal is always to try to provide our Clients the very best devices we reasonably can do. To do that, we will use equipment, tools, parts, materials and/or techniques never originally intended for our application to try to fix or workaround a problem to produce or restore a critical function or feature.
PARTS, ACCESSORIES, CONSUMABLES, ETC:
Unless otherwise explicitly stated in our T&C Estimates response, all of
our devices and their accessories (if any) are sold to our Clients new and unused
(except for our extensive individual testing). Accessories (eg: required cables,
and peripherals, manuals, containers, etc.) are included with a purchase only
if they are specifically and explicitly promised or contracted for in the CDAF.
If the Item is sold as used, all parts and accessories of the Item may be used,
but some of which may have been repaired, replaced or refurbished, or replaced
with parts and/or accessories; however, we are not required to replace or refurbish
worn, damaged or missing parts or accessories in used Items, but we are required
to disclose to our Clients before purchases all known damaged or missing parts
or accessories. In some cases, we may be unfamiliar with Items that we, ourselves,
did not make, as to their appearances, functions and completeness (we ourselves
test all CD project Items and most other Items prior to shipment). Most Items
we sell come with one or more types of consumables, usually batteries, but may
also be paper, toner, fasteners (eg: staples, tape, etc.), ink, bits, blades,
cutters, etc. If the Item is sold as new, unless otherwise specified in writing,
we provide the Item with all new consumables it requires that normally comes
with in its original package. If the Item is sold as used, while we still try
to provide it with all new consumables it normally comes with, we are not required
to do so because some consumables may be difficult to acquire new (eg: some
tool consumables), and we may assume without liability to us that the Item was
purchased as a replacement Item in which the Client already has on hand its
required accessories and consumables (eg: replacing a bad device with a good
device that uses the same accessories). Whether an Item is new or used, the
purchase of an Item from us does NOT include a lifetime supply of consumables
for it, nor device or accessory replacements, nor repairs / modifications /
refurbishes / upgrades, nor parts or materials replacements beyond what is explicitly
stated herein, unless the CDAF explicitly states otherwise. We may accept separate
CDAF contracts for repairs, modifications, refurbishes, upgrades, consumables,
and/or accessories. And at our own discretion, we will sometimes provide FREE
replacements, repairs, modifications, refurbishes and upgrades (not required
by the CDAF or warranty), but we are not required to do so; this usually occurs
when we discover a substantially better design, part or material, as we want
to provide the best devices we reasonably can to our Good Clients.
We do our very best to
be able to do CD projects for our Clients. We maintain huge variations and quantities
of costly parts, tools, equipment and special materials to be able to take on
virtually any CD project, whether it is for one of our device-types or for a
device not currently one of our device-types. And we are constantly researching
and developing new device-types and improving our existing ones. Nothing we
hate more than to find ourselves where we simply cannot do a Client's CD project
up to our standards for whatever reason(s). In which case, we cannot provide
T&C Estimates for it. When we provide estimates for a CD project, they are
based on our best knowledge and abilities at the time, and we are attesting
that we can do the project within a reasonable variation of the estimates. However,
we have little or no control over parts, special materials and special tools
availabilities and prices for those Items, if any, we have to obtain from outside
sources (Note, our stocks are so extensive that for most of our projects, we
do not have to order from outside). Availabilities and prices can be changed
by suppliers without prior notice to us, and in relatively rare cases they can
substantially impact a CD project in time and/or cost. When this happens, occasionally
the price is less and we pass on our savings to the Client. However, because
of increasing rarity of some of these Items and general inflation, in most cases,
the cost will increase, usually not a lot. Usually in either case, project time
will not significantly change. In rare cases, while we will have on hand or
be able to obtain adequate Items at good prices, we later discover that an item(s)
did not meet our design needs as we had anticipated or the Item(s) unexpectedly
failed; these situations can also substantially impact the CD project in time
and/or cost. Also, we are a custom-device shop - all devices we design and make
are unique, handmade, artistic-techno, and experimental, and are of our best
designs known to us at the time. Because of project unpredictabilities,
we can never guarantee that a CD project we provide you an estimate for is one
that we can successfully complete and test using the items we and/or you had
expected us to use and the CD project required. And we cannot guarantee that
if we successfully complete your device (including final testing), which we
almost always do, it will be within the time and cost parameters of our estimates
(often times, the final time is less days and final cost is less). While we
do our reasonable best to provide devices which will work well for our Clients
as long as possible for those classes of devices, the normal lifetimes of devices
vary widely among device types, their functions, and the environments, situations
and handling Clients subject them to, so we cannot guarantee that any device
will last for any specific period of time that is greater than its warranty
period if normally used as described in its User Manual.
COMPATIBILITIES BETWEEN VARIOUS DEVICE TYPES: We never guarantee that any particular device type we offer can be tested with, can act as a countermeasure for or is otherwise compatible or comparable to any other device type that anyone else offers, and we cannot test for anything which exists in the end user's environment which we are unable to duplicate in our environment (for security reasons, we never visit Clients or allow Clients to visit us). While we have extensive capability to test devices, like all other design labs, our capabilities are not infinite (eg: we cannot test chemical or nuclear setups, and some countries, equipment and applications use power sources, connectors, cabling or transducers we are unable to obtain, duplicate or test). Furthermore, we never assume any liability for the Client's lack of knowledge or erroneous or unproven beliefs in science, electronics, paranormal, engineering, medical or legal, and we assume no responsibility to provide Clients either educations in these disciplines or proofs that their beliefs, theories and/or notions are wrong, nor do we recommend experts in these disciplines. We do provide a comprehensive mind control and electronic attack tutorial to our Good Clients to provide as much useful information as we reasonably can for our Clients and potential Clients, based on the best of our knowledge, but assume no liability for any decision or action anyone makes they claim was based on this tutorial. Lack of compatibility or comparability between device types is due to these reasons: (1) Compatibility and comparability may be only apparent. Different devices often operate using different modalities (eg: microwave vs. ultrasonic), frequencies, waveforms, onset times, durations, duty cycles, voltages, power, range, directionality, antenna/transducer/sensor designs/types/uses/orientations, etc. (2) Since each CD project device is of a unique design and layout, for us to claim that one device-type is compatible or comparable to any other device-type would put us in an impossible situation where we might be required to prove that every single device we made of one device-type is compatible or comparable with every single device we or someone else made of the other device-type - impossible for us because many of the devices or their designs will not be available to us. (3) Many of our designs are proprietary in nature and are based on trade secrets, so if we were to acknowledge that a non-proprietary device-type was compatible or comparable to a proprietary device-type, or vice-versa, we would essentially be divulging in a backdoor way the design trade secrets of the proprietary device-type. If you want two or more devices from us which are in any way to be compatible or comparable to each other (eg: transmitter with a detector to detect its transmissions, any device and its test equipment), you must contract for them all at the same time but as separate CD projects using a separate CDAF for each proposed CD project device (note that if any device is of a proprietary design, then the other device will also automatically be a proprietary design), and whatever level of compatibility and comparability we can provide between such devices is strictly limited to only those devices so explicitly contracted for.
AVAILABILITY OF TEST EQUIPMENT, TUTORIALS, COUNTERMEASURES, ETC.: Unless explicitly described in the CDAF as part of the proposed CD project, contracted for as a separate CD project(s) or otherwise explicitly promised in writing (including specific make, model # and condition), we never provide with the completed CD project: Oscilloscopes, analyzers, meters, gauges, displays, signal generators, signal injectors, signal processors, external readouts, detectors, converters, timers, signal strength meters, testers, test set ups, calibrators, decoders, encoders, computers, computer peripherals, interfaces, cable extensions (unless otherwise stated all cables required to operate a functional device are provided as part of the device), photographs or other images, software, tutorials, plans, circuit diagrams or schematics, parts lists, trade secrets, test results from independent laboratories, or special instructions (other than the User Manual), or any other type of test equipment, test setup or anything else not specifically described in the CDAF contract or otherwise promised to the Client in writing. However, we will certainly consider providing the Client with any or all of these items as a separate CD project, requiring a separate CDAF. We often design and build unique proprietary test equipment (usually as a temporary test bench breadboard) for a particular CD project which we usually shortly dismantle, salvage or dispose of after successful completion and testing of the CD project. In most such cases, we are very willing to consider and in fact WE HIGHLY ENCOURAGE providing the Client test equipment as a separate CD project (must be applied for at the same time as the CDAF for the device to be tested so we can verify onsite the Client's main CD project device using the Client's CD test equipment). Such test equipment is usually only a small fraction of the cost as the main CD project device. As a separate CD project, test equipment always requires a separate CDAF. We assume no liability for any inability the Client may have in testing a device or test results inconsistent with our test results if the Client did not also contract for test equipment with and for his/her device, we could not provide such test equipment, or the Client tested the device using test equipment not explicitly approved for testing what the device is designed to produce, or resulting from test equipment not recently calibrated.
IF THE CLIENT PROVIDES HIS/HER OWN TEST PROCEDURES AND/OR EQUIPMENT, WE WILL TRY TO TEST THE CD DEVICE ACCORDING TO THE CLIENT'S PROCEDURES AND/OR EQUIPMENT. However, in such cases we may have to charge additional prepaid amounts to attempt extraordinary test procedures. Furthermore, we reserve the right to refuse or reject any test equipment or test procedures provided to us by the Client or by anyone else without liability to us if we reasonably believe that the extraordinary test equipment or test procedures will not work for the device to be tested, are not practical or safe for us to apply, require nuclear testing or chemical testing, or will not likely result in any significant benefit to the Client from what our test equipment and test procedures will likely provide. Especially when it comes to devices related to the paranormal, mind control and electronic attack, some Clients swallow the pseudo-scientific gibberish of the self-proclaimed armchair "experts" (most are not even engineers or scientists) in these areas (eg: using a cyclotron to test for brainwave signatures). Furthermore, because test procedures and test points usually reveal critical circuit design features, unless we have agreed in our T&C Estimates to provide the Client a copy of the device circuit design or plan, our specific test procedures and test points for any device are strictly secret and confidential and the Client totally and forever waives, foregoes, nullifies and abandons all rights to information regarding them and to the actual circuit design and plans as well. Furthermore, while we will handle and return all such provided test equipment as reasonably careful as we can, we are not liable for any damage or loss which occurs to the device under test, the test equipment or anything else which results from our handling, using, storing and shipping the test equipment and device under test.
RETURN, REPAIRS, REPLACEMENT SECTION:
ALL CD ITEMS ARE SHIPPED F.O.B.
LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. IF A CD ITEM IS RETURNED BECAUSE IT WAS DAMAGED DURING
SHIPMENT, YOU MUST FIRST REPORT THE DAMAGE TO THE SHIPPER AT THE TIME OF DELIVERY,
THE DAMAGE MUST BE FULLY DOCUMENTED, INCLUDING CLEAR PHOTOGRAPHS OF ALL DAMAGED
PACKAGES AND CONTENTS, AND BOTH THE ITEM AND ALL OF ITS ORIGINAL PACKAGING MUST
BE RETURNED TO US (enclosed in a sturdy outside box) BEFORE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT/REFUND
CAN BE CONSIDERED. NO REFUND OF ANY AMOUNT CAN BE CONSIDERED UNLESS AND UNTIL
THE ITEM IS RETURNED TO US IN THE CONDITION IT WAS IN WHEN YOU RECEIVED IT,
LESS REASONABLE WEAR & TEAR (uncleanliness is not considered wear &
tear), as per this Section.
All devices we create are unique, customized, handmade, built-to-order,
artistic-techno, and experimental. We do not ship until the device is completed
and rigorously and successfully tested here. As stated above, we cannot and
do not guarantee end results - only the electronic and mechanical functions
as described on our webpages. We make no medical, medically-assistive, legal
or paranormal advice, opinion or claim. We put a lot of time, money and work
into creating unique, customized devices, and we cannot sell returned devices.
In all cases where you seek a refund for an Item we shipped
to you which you believe is damaged or defective, you MUST first give us the
chance to repair or replace the Item, and replace missing parts and/or accessories
thereof, if any. This means, we must FIRST receive the returned Item at Lone
Star Consulting, Inc. within 30 days of your receipt of the Item; and you must
have reported to us in writing and in clear and explicit detail the damage or
defect within 14 days of you receiving the Item, with all images and a narrative
describing all damages and defects. You may be required to provide us more details
and follow operational steps as needed, as sometimes simple operational advice
corrects a "problem"; if we can, we will reasonably try to assist
you in getting it to work for you as fast as possible by email at no cost to
you. If the damage or defect was caused by something we did or did not do prior
to shipping, we will gladly attempt to repair/replace the Item at no cost to
you. If we succeed and the Item becomes fully operational as we described it
to be, we will then gladly ship the Item back to you within 30 days of receiving
it here, also at no S/H cost to you. If we are unsuccessful in our repair/replace
attempt, we will ship to you a fully functional-as-described and rigorously
tested identical replacement Item, also totally at our expense; but if we cannot
provide such a replacement, we will gladly immediately refund you 2/3rds of
what you paid us for the Item and we will keep the Item (NOTE: the 1/3rd non-refundable
down payment always applies, as stated herein). However, if we find that the
damage or defect was not caused by something we did or did not do prior to shipping,
but was caused after the Item was transferred to the shipper (again, we ship
F.O.B. shipping point here), we still can do the repairs/replacement if you
permit us to, in which case, you pay for all such repairs and replacements (if

based upon the agreed-upon percentage of our fault. Upon receipt of your returned
Item, we will test it here. After testing the Item, if we find that the Item
works well within our electronic and mechanical functional descriptions of the
device-type, we will return the Item to you, if you pay the return S/H. If you
still claim that the Item is not working as described, we may then require you
to provide us a verifiable written report, with specific factual data, from
a reputable electronics or scientific test laboratory, fully at your expense,

PERCENTAGE CLAIMS: Many prospective Clients say to us: 'If you guarantee that your device will do ABC 100% (or all or similar) of XYZ things, I'll buy your device.' Some just ask this because they do not understand science well. However, others ask this as an entrapment ploy (much of our work is helping mind controlled TIs, and the perps hate us, so they try to use tricks of all kinds to stop us from helping TIs). While somethings in nature and technology come very close to "100%" (or "all" or "totally" or similar), nothing is ever exactly 100% (eg: a 50-foot slab of lead may stop 99.99+% of radiation, but it won't stop exactly 100%. And while somethings have extremely small chances of occuring, neither is anything ever exactly 0%. In virtually all cases, for example, increasing a good thing to at least 95% or decreasing a bad thing to at least 5%, is more than enough to be a profound gamechanger (eg: attenuating 95+% of a perp's mind control signals using our special shielding, to our knowledge, stops the manifestations caused by the perp's signals, because they become buried in random noise). Our Policy is that we round down or up from what we believe the actual percentage is to the nearest percentage integer. For example, if we believe that it is 99.5% or higher, we will state it as "100%", "all", "totally" or similar. But if we believe it is between 98.5% and 99.4%, we will state "99%". Note that any percentage we may state will almost always be statistically insignificant. That's because our sampling size (ie: the number of very similar devices, events, manifestations, etc.) is almost always small, because all of our devices have unique designs, layouts, functions and/or features, and because much of what Clients tell us is anecdotal and/or opinionated and unverifiable by us, so scientific comparisons cannot be made. Consequently, while we always try our best to be accurate, we can assume no liability for any percentage-type statement we make.
WEBPAGES & COMPUTER MEDIA: LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. will never intentionally post a webpage that will in any way harm your computer system (see our cookie/spyware Policies above). Nor will we ever knowingly provide you a computer file, diskette, CDROM or any other computer media that will in any way harm your system. Furthermore, what may appear to have caused a computer to react badly, may not indeed be the actual direct cause or even be any cause to a computer-related problem. This is especially true today when many computer systems - even those with the best firewalls and protection software - are rife with computer infections and spyware. Furthermore, we are not all-knowing about every possible means that computer systems, hardware, media or files can be infected, damaged or destroyed, or how any of these will affect or be affected by any particular computer system, media, file, set of files or hardware. Therefore, LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. takes no responsibility and assumes no liability to any and all affected persons and entities for any and all problems, damages, failures, costs and/or losses that may occur resulting from the use, accessing or attempting to access any of our webpages or computer media.
TELEPHONE & EMAIL CONSULTATION SERVICES: For our unique Telephone Consultation Services, we will state to you in writing prior to rendering service what our current per minute phone charge is. Consultation services can also be provided by email, in which we will assess the cost of our answers based on your emailed questions, and you will pay a non-refundable fee based on our charges prior to us addressing your email. Phone charges must be prepaid in blocks of 60 minutes, and are strictly non-refundable. You may prepay for any number of blocks you might think you will need at any one time, we will refund any minutes you do not use. To avoid disruption due to time running out, we suggest that you prepay for a larger number of minutes than you expect to use up. Phone minute tolling for each session starts from the second we are connected to the second we are disconnected. All payments are to be made by Postal Money Order or Trade. While we will try to provide you as much accurate, complete, useful and profitable information as we reasonably can, we assume no liability as to the usefulness, profitability, accuracy or completeness of the information we provide you, nor do we provide any medical, legal, financial, engineering, scientific or paranormal advice or opinion, nor do we make any medical, legal, financial, engineering, scientific or paranormal claims. All statements we make are to be regarded strictly for legal intention and as our lay opinion or hypothetical scenario only no matter how else they may sound or be worded. All statements made by us are to be considered to be for legal utility, educational and/or entertainment purposes only, and we take no responsibility for anything we state. You must provide a completed CDAF for each topic you wish us to consult with you about, and send the CDAF to us with full non-refundable payment for the amount of minutes or email answers you wish to pay for, and some details about the topic for phone consultations. For phone consultations, also provide 3 dates and times most convenient for you in order of your preference starting with the most preferred (in the rare case if none of the 3 are possible for us, we will suggest that you send another 3 dates and times); earliest date should be at least 10 days from date you mail your CDAF to give us at least some time to try to research and prepare for the consultation. Our multiple-item satisfaction Policy and all other applicable Policies apply.
FORMS ISSUES: If you have provided us an incomplete form that lacks your signature and/or date, and you have provided some payment for a product or service relevant to the form or have made some other indication that you agree with the form or otherwise intended to complete the form (eg: email, phone conversation, statement made in the form or its attachments, etc.), and we believe that the delay caused by returning the form back to you for your completion would likely prevent an estimated time to be reasonably honored or would otherwise be substantially disruptive for us to complete your CD project, then you agree without qualification or reservation to all provisions of the incomplete form AS IF YOU HAD ACTUALLY SIGNED AND DATED THE FORM YOURSELF, including all applicable Policies herein, and with no liability to us. If the form is incomplete in some other way and/or contains clearly erroneous information, and a delay in completing/correcting it by returning the form to you would likely prevent an estimated time to be reasonably honored or would otherwise be substantially disruptive for us to complete your CD project, then you have given us your permission without qualification or reservation for us to complete/correct all of your missing/erroneous information with no liability to us for any error or omission you have made or for any attempt by us to reasonably interpret, complete or correct your errors or omissions, and you agree to all Policies herein. If we receive a form, other document or statement bearing your name, user name, mail address, email address, phone number by email, by email attachment or by any other non-USPS mail method, then you agree without qualification or reservation that the form, document or statement has the same validity, authenticity, applicability, relevance and materiality as if you had submitted the same form, document or statement by USPS mail bearing your actual original signature and date. If you have stated or implied to us that a form or other document has been completed by you and has or will be sent to us and as the result we have acted as if the form or other document had already arrived and was properly completed by you because of some rush or time constraint for us to respond or to provide you a product or service, but the form or other document does not arrive within 10 days after you claimed to have completed it, sent it or issued it, you fully agree without qualification or reservation that we have the option to assume that you mailed the form or other document to us by USPS, that we received it, that it was properly completed by you, and that all of the entries on the form or other document are what we reasonably believe would be there, with no liability to us for any attempt by us to recreate the form, and you agree to all Policies herein. In any of these cases, we may first attempt to contact you by email, if you provided us a clear, current, complete and accurate email address, but we are under no obligation to attempt to contact you or to wait any more than 48 hours for a satisfactory response from you if we do attempt to contact you.
COMMUNICATIONS & SECURITY ISSUES:
Much of the work we do - especially in mind control countermeasure and in energy
cost savings technologies - is very controversial, resulting in powerful enemies
(eg: mind control perps and their official sychophants, et al) of those who
want to continue to harm, harass and bilk their hapless victims with impunity.
We therefore must take extraordinary measures to protect ourselves from harm
and harassment: Never attempt to communicate with us by trying to meet us in
person or attempt to track, trace or surveil us, and all advertisements, promotions,
sales, free magazine subscriptions, polls, surveys, charity, and all other communications
that are not cleary for the purpose of purchasing from us or to inquire about
something already purchased from us must be sent to us by snail mail - never
by phone call or email - else at a minimum you have agreed to immediately pay
us a $1,000 fee (plus all direct and indirect costs for all of our efforts to
collect these fees) for each and every such contact with us. And do not contact
us unless explicitly authorized by law and a court of competent jurisdiction
to ask for or inquire about personal or private information about anyone involved
with Lone Star Consulting, Inc., or about corporate proprietary information
(eg: identities of employees/Clients/contractors/subcontractors, number of employees/Clients/contractors/subcontractors,
corporate/personal incomes, specific locations of our offices/labs/shops/storage
areas/suppliers/contractors, etc.) as we do a lot of security work and never
divulge that information unless absolutely required to do so by law. By far,
the best way to communicate with us is through email or snail mail (if time
is not of the essence). Phone calls should not be made at the beginning of our
relationship (unless your email was not responded to within 3 work days), by
voice only (no texting), and minimally as an established Client, supplier, contractor
or subcontractor. That's because we are often in the labs, and electronic test
procedures usually must not be interrupted to be done properly. We want to provide
you the very best quality product and service we reasonably can, so our ability
to concentrate on our work is critical. Also, quick, spontaneous verbal answers
are not always possible, and when pressured to be done, are more likely to cause
substantial errors and omissions than email or snail mail, for which we assume
no liability. Also, we are in the field a lot, so we may not have immediate
access to some files and data to provide answers, nor to phones or computers.
However, with email and snail mail, we can usually sit down when we are free
from our other duties and thoughtfully, accurately, concisely and completely
respond to your question, concerns and suggestions.
NOTE-1:
We make and respond to all communications here in the name of "tekmaster,"
which is the handle used often but not always by John Williams, our President.
However, that does not imply that the communications is by John Williams himself
nor that he is anywhere near the phone or computer (often is not). John Williams
and any other officer, employee or other designee of Lone Star Consulting, Inc.
is authorized to use "tekmaster" for all corporation-related business,
and should be knowledgeable enough to answer technical questions. Typically,
most entities which interface with the public do not provide callers and emailers
the complete or accurate identities of their responders, neither do we, so please
do not ask for the identity of any person you are communicating with. This is
because GPS trackings of phone calls and ISP trackings of emails occur and pose
high security risks to our personnel if they divulge exactly who they are and/or
where they are or will be located on any day or time. Just like most Targeted
Individuals (TIs), we are fearful of GPS and ISP tracking of our people thru
our electronic devices: We use legal means, such as "burner phones",
intentionally not answering suspecious calls, leaving our published electronic
devices in the hands of others or in vacant places, etc., to avoid threatening
tracking. However, since John Williams can neither be every place at once nor
monitor every communication, John Williams is responsible only for those Lone
Star Consulting, Inc. communications John Williams actually makes or responds
to himself.
NOTE-2: Because cellphone-type
and computer-type devices have tracking capabilities (eg: GPS, ISP), for security
reasons, we often leave these devices in places where we are not at operationally,
and with other trustworthy people or with no one answering them, with no liability
to us. We know perps commonly use GPS and other types of tracking to try to
locate our operations, and this is why our electronic devices are intentionally
seldom near our offices, labs, shops and shippers. Neither Lone Star Consulting,
Inc. nor John Williams nor any other officer, employee, contractor, subcontractor
or other designee of Lone Star Consulting, Inc. assume any liability for any
verbal or unauthorized statement. No one associated with Lone Star Consulting,
Inc., can agree to any verbal contract or promise, so nothing any of us verbally
states is to be regarded as a legally-binding contract or promise. All parties
to all phone calls to or from us, and all visitors to webpages of Lone Star
Consulting, Inc., 100% agree without any objection, qualification or reservation
that any and all recordings, tracking and mapping data, audio, video and surveillance
data so derived (no matter when, where, why and how derived), immediately and
automatically become the sole and exclusive property of Lone Star Consulting,
Inc. and cannot be read, used, sold, given away, distributed, copied, stored
or acted upon in any way without the clear, prior and explicit written permission
of Lone Star Consulting, Inc.
REPORTS: While, as with all hardware providers, there are legal limitations as to what types of hardware we can provide a Client, the only limitations we have in providing a research or other report (which does not include any hardware) are that we cannot knowingly violate anyone's proprietary or intellectual property rights or classified information rights, and if the report contains information which would be illegal, unethical, immoral or dangerous to implement, that information is NEVER provided as "How to"-type information. The format of a report may be, but is not limited to, printed document(s), computer file(s), and/or audio and/or video recording(s). A report must be explicitly contracted for in writing. All reports we provide are strictly for legal utility, educational and entertainment purposes only. Furthermore, the Client forever waives, abandons, nullifies and foregoes all possible demands from us to prove anything stated in a report if such proof(s) requires: (A) For us to provide any kind of hardware, (B) For any of us to make any kind of personal appearance anywhere, (C) For us to provide any kind of access to our offices, laboratories or shops, (D) For us to provide any kind of hardware, testing, support or additional reports or services not specifically and explicitly contracted for in writing, or (E) For us to provide or publish any kind of information that is classified or proprietary to us or to anyone else.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, AND AGREEMENT
TO NOT DISCLOSE: No purchase, trade or other transaction shall in any way result
in a loss by or transfer from LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. of any Copyright, Patent,
Trade Mark, Trade Secret, or any other proprietary right, whether ours or anyone
elses. Furthermore, you shall not copy, duplicate, reproduce, excerpt from or
store in any kind of computerized, electronic, photographic, chemical, optical
or mechanical device in whole or part any of our publications or software that
bears a copyright notice, except our webpages, without prior written permission
from LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. In the case of our webpages, you shall make
no deletions, additions or other changes in them, or hotlink to them without
prior written permission from LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC., and shall be for the
sole purpose of promoting the business interests of LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC.
Furthermore, the designs of all LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. hardware and devices
are strictly proprietary and kept strictly secret by us unless we have explicitly
agreed in writing to make a set of plans or schematics available to you or you
have provided us the plans or schematics as part of your purchase, and if then,
only to the extent agreed upon. This secrecy includes, but is not limited to,
designs, diagrams, functional descriptions, and all of the input signal (if
any) descriptions that a LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. device is designed to detect,
modify or otherwise operate on, all internal operations and processes descriptions
performed by a LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. device, and all of the output signal
(if any) descriptions a LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. device is designed to produce,
because all of these features, properties and specifications are strictly proprietary
and kept secret by LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. unless we have otherwise explicitly
agreed in writing to make them available to you and/or to the extent that you
have provided them to us in writing as part of your purchase. And in all cases
where LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. has provided you its plans, schematics, functional
diagrams, functional descriptions, and/or input signal, internal operations
and processing, and/or output signal diagrams and/or descriptions, you are strictly
required to maintain them all in strict secrecy in perpetuity unless your written
contract with us specifically states that you may divulge any of them (and then
only to the extent agreed upon), you are legally required to divulge them by
a court of law with competent jurisdiction, or LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. allows
in writing these disclosures (and then only to the extent permitted in writing).
It is critical
that our device designs and even their very existence associated with any identifiable
Client of ours be kept very secret primarily for the sake of our current and
prospective Clients. While we are a customized shop and all of our devices are
customized and unique in design, layout, functions and/or features, for most
of our devices enough simililaries exist between devices of our same device-types
that perps armed with device design and/or appearance info can identify our
devices being used by our Clients to protect themselves, resulting to serious
harm to our Clients that may even be ruinous or fatal. And armed with any design-related
and/or appearance-related info of any of our devices, competitors and scammers
can claim to produce and sell fraudulent and cheap knock-offs of our devices,
falsely making them appear they originated from us or function like our devices,
resulting in our prospective Clients being sold cheaper non-functioning or poorly
functioning knock-offs of our devices, resulting in little or no protection.
And some scammers, who falsely state or imply that they are selling our devices,
don't ship anything. We have already had people demanding us to ship or repair
scammer devices they falsely believed originated from us. As the result, secrecy
is paramount for excellent protection of our Clients and us. Therefore, you
fully and unconditionally agree to never disclose or contract with us for a
purpose to disclose to anyone (except under a court order from a court of competent
jurisdiction or by our prior explicit written permission, and strictly limited
to the specified limits described in either case), any
design, diagram, schematic, User Manual, parts, parts layout, system layout,
photograph, video, recording, functional description, feature, function, test
result in part or whole, or any component, subassembly, accessory, test setup,
cabling description to anyone not employed by Lone Star Consulting, Inc. You
also fully and unconditionally agree that if you violate this provision to,
within 30 days, pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold harmless Lone Star Consulting,
Inc., and all its people for all real losses plus for all estimated likely and
potential losses plus large punitive damages - resulting directly and indirectly
from any and all such disclosures by you or by anyone on your behest or behalf
or that results from your negligence or intent. You also further fully and unconditionally
agree to forever and totally waive, abandon, nullify and forego all defenses,
including but not limited to all defenses relevant to immunity, and all statutes
of limitation that may otherwise apply. You also fully and unconditionally agree
that Lone Star Consulting, Inc., and all of its officers, employees, agents
and contractors can then publicly and frankly explain and/or defend themselves
totally at your personal expense, you, within 30 days, fully pay, reimburse,
indemnify and hold them harmless for all relevant efforts on their parts to
publicly defend themselves (including but not limited to them using public relations
and advertisements to defend themselves), and with no liability to any of them
even if their defense reveals personal, private, confidential and negative info
about you and those associated with you.
NORMAL AND COMMON SENSE BEHAVIOR IS
ASSUMED: We assert our right to assume in all cases what we reasonably consider
to be normal or common sense consumer behavior without liability to us - even
if our assumption turns out to be wrong. For example: Clients assume the duty
to explicitly notify us in writing within 14 days of receiving the product or
service if dissatisfied with one of our products or services, and the Client
also fully accepts the fact that we will consider the Client to be 100% satisfied
with our product or service if he/she does not notify us in writing within the
14 days of his/her dissatisfaction without a very good excuse - even if the
Client never explicitly states his/her level of satisfaction. Another example:
The term, "unique CD project" implies that the CD project is likely
to have significant differences from any previous CD project we have done because
it is both unique and customized to Client specs, and is artistic-techno and
custom handmade and experimental (while we will have likely done previous versions
of that device-type, since it is unique and customized, its design and layout
will not likely be exactly like any previous version). Another example: The
Client provides us multiple addresses showing no written shipping preference
to any of them; we may then assume that any of these addresses is an acceptable,
accurate, current and complete shipping address for the Client. Another example:
If we believe that the Buyer cheated us out of any payment due to us or property
of ours and fails to fully provide what is due to us or belongs to us within
30 days of us trying to notify the Buyer of that situation, we may assume and
report to law enforcement and other officials (without any liability to us)
that any or all items that was provided to the Buyer was obtained by the Buyer
to be used in some criminal and/or terrorist activity, even if we have no idea
what that illegal activity may be. Another example: We clearly state below what
methods of payments we will accept and the clearance periods for each method
of payment; if the Client pays us by an acceptable method (eg: check) that requires
a long clearance period, we may feel obligated to deposit his/her payment and
we assume and rely upon that he/she will wait without complaint or any stop
payment action the entire payment clearance period for shipment. Furthermore,
we accept no liability to you or to any third parties which exceeds the amount
of money you actually paid us for your CD project(s) for any single or multiple
CD project(s) we can not or do not undertake, complete or ship for any reason.
Furthermore, if the Client pays us more money and/or other thing(s) of value
for a product or service of ours than what we state or bill as his/her cost
for the product or service, we may assume that the difference was intended to
be an outright gift to us for which we are not obligated to later repay.
NOTE: Every Item Lone
Star Consulting, Inc.'s sells is intended to be possessed, used, maintained,
repaired, transported and stored by or on Lone Star Consulting, Inc. and the
Buyer only, and is not intended to be possessed, used, maintained, repaired,
transported or stored by nor on any third party without the clear, explicit
and written prior permission by Lone Star Consulting, Inc., in which case, is
strictly limited to the written permission granted by Lone Star Consulting,
Inc. Third parties include all other businesses, commercial interests, institutions,
governmental bodies, and persons, groups and entities. Each repair, modification
or upgrade by the Buyer or by anyone else the Buyer allows or designates (except
by us), if any, also require the clear, explicit and written prior permission
by Lone Star Consulting, Inc., and is strictly limited to the written permission
granted by Lone Star Consulting, Inc. Lone Star Consulting, Inc. is not liable
for any permission it grants or does not grant, and is not liable for any repair,
modification or upgrade attempt made by the Buyer nor by anyone else (except
by us), allowed or designated by the Buyer.
MULTIPLE CD PROJECTS: Devices which
functionally require to operate with - or result in significant composite or
interdependent functions or features when operated with - more than one piece
of equipment (eg: triangulation devices requiring a pair of direction-finding
devices, paired wiring hitchhiking eliminator devices for simultaneous use for
two legs of a power system or for multiple phone lines, etc.) and/or require
accessories (eg: transducers, cables, stands, etc.) are considered to be single
CD projects consisting of one entire device or system (and not as a collection
or assembly of separate hardware) and require only one CDAF to contract for
(if you disagree with this classification, then you must submit a separate CDAF
for each part and acessory of the device based on our Multiple CD Projects Policies
stated herein). In all other cases where more than one piece of hardware is
specified, each piece of hardware is considered to be an independent and separate
device and separate CDAF and CD project payments are required for each CD project
you wish to contract for (for multiple "identical" CD devices, see
below). No matter how many CDAFs you provide us for multiple CD projects you
want us to do for you, they should all, if possible, be mailed to us in the
same envelope so that they all arrive to us simultaneously. While we concentrate
our efforts and resources on the CD project we are currently working on and
usually work on CD projects based on their order within the CD projects queue,
that does not mean that the current CD project receives 100% of our efforts
and resources or that we won't work on CD project #4 before #3, for example.
Often we work on several CD projects during the same time period as time, parts
availabilities and resources efficiently permit (eg: while awaiting on parts
or test completions for the current CD project, we may do work on CD project
#2 and then #5). If you contract for more than one CD project, you should specify
the CD project order of completion you require or else we will determine the
CD project order of completion ourselves with no liability to us. Unless you
require in writing otherwise, we will not ship to you your next CD project unless
and until you are 100% satisfied with your previous CD project (our intention
is that all current and future CD projects are contingent upon and based upon
Client's satisfaction with all previous CD projects; we may infer 100% satisfaction
with all previous CD projects for a Client if he/she shows interest in us doing
future CD projects for him/her). If you have paid in full for the previous CD
project (within 30 days of written notification of its completion) and you are
not satisfied with it after receiving and using it, our Policy regarding any
refund you may be entitled to for that particular CD project is described elsewhere
herein as if it was a single CD project; however, if you have paid any monies
towards your subsequent CD projects, we will refund all of those monies on all
CD projects we have not yet started or are less than 1/3rd completed, and 1/3rd
of all of those monies on all CD projects we have completed 1/3rd to 2/3rds,
and 100% of all of those monies on all CD projects we have completed more than
2/3rds. However, if there is still a balance you owe to us for any reason, we
may apply monies you paid us for any or all other CD projects and purchases
of yours to pay off that balance in full, without liability to us, and thereby
leaving balances due in those other CD projects and purchases which may result
in their delays and/or cancellations. And if for any reason you refuse or fail
to pay in full for any previous CD project(s) within the 30 days of notification
of completion, it/they of course will not be shipped to you, and furthermore,
for all subsequent CD project(s) you have contracted for and that we have completed
at least 1/3rd of, if any, we shall charge you the 1/3rd nonrefundable downpayment(s)
for all of these nonrefundable downpayments (you will be billed for any balance).
If, however, we cannot successfully complete a CD project (rare) for you with
other of your CD project(s) in the queue behind it, we of course will not charge
you the 2/3rds (66.67%) balance for that CD project; however, you will still
have to pay us the 1/3rd nonrefundable downpayment(s) of all of those CD project(s)
you have contracted for in the queue which we have completed at least 1/3rd
of at that time as well as the 2/3rds balance for all of those CD project(s)
we subsequently successfully complete for you. If you have already paid the
2/3rds balance for a CD project and we are unable to successfully complete your
CD project (eg: we completed it, but it failed one or more of our Final Tests),
or through the normal and expected use of the CD device a mistake is discovered
that substantially and negatively affects the electronic or mechanical function
of the device and we cannot or repair or replace it, or the device we completed
was not at least mostly functionally as the same device type as described in
your CD and we cannot modify or replace it within 30 days, we will refund your
2/3rds balance payment (device must first be returned to us if we had shipped
it to you). Furthermore, if for any reason you require that two or more of your
CD projects be shipped to you at the same time or so close in time that you
cannot or have not expressed written satisfaction for them individually, then
you totally waive, forego and abandon all rights to officially complain to anyone
about any and all of the CD projects involved in this simultaneous or closely-spaced
shipment(s) should you not be satisfied with one or more of your CD projects.
We strongly recommend that you preserve your rights stated herein by receiving
your multiple CD projects one at a time so you can test them yourself and then
decide your level of satisfaction with us and whether or not for us to move
on to your next CD project. As long as we believe you are fully with all previous
CD projects we have done for you or you have required simultaneous or so closed-spaced
shipments of subsequent CD project(s) as to not provide us written satisfaction
for your previous CD project(s), we will continue to undertake your next CD
projects one at a time until they are all completely done or at least seriously
attempted. Normal and common-sense consumer behavior includes the case where
the Client receives a product or service he/she is not satisfied with; in such
cases the Client will not only promptly and explicitly express dissatisfaction
with the item but will also not do any more business with the seller unless
and until the problem is remedied to his/her satisfaction. Therefore, we reserve
the right to assume that a Client is fully satisfied with our product or service
- even if the Client does not explicitly express any satisfaction - if the Client
receives the product or service and has had 14 days to inspect, test and use
the product or service and then either does not explicitly complain to us in
writing (delivered email or Postal Mail) or he/she contracts for or indicates
interest in another product or service from us. Clients assume the duty to explicitly
notify us in writing within 14 days of receiving the product or service if dissatisfied
with one of our products or services, and the Client also fully accepts the
fact that we will consider the Client to be 100% satisfied with our product
or service if he/she does not notify us in writing within the 14 days of his/her
dissatisfaction - even if the Client never explicitly states his/her level of
satisfaction.
Should you provide us
a CDAF contract, but then later contract with us to do more work for you (eg:
new CD project(s), repair(s), modification(s), change(s), provide additional
accessory(ies), etc.) where you do not provide us a new CDAF(s) to cover each
new work, then all of the Policies-related provisions of that CDAF also fully
and unconditionally apply to all of the new work (eg: your agreement in your
CDAF to all of our Policies on this and other webpages) but in their updated
forms (if updated) that exist when we do the new work for you.
When refunds are made,
they are limited in their maximum amount refunded to what the Client has paid
us for the device or service, less all S/H and less Item dirtyness, damages,
missing parts and accessories, and other losses to the Item not caused by us.
Refunds apply only to returned Items, and only after we have made reasonable
attempts to repair or replace the Item. Discounts and refunds do not apply under
these cases: (1) S/H, except S/H discount fully applies when Items are paid
for within 7 days of each other, and Items shipped together in the same package
to the same address. (2) One or more Items (if multiple Items) requires repairs
or modifications beyond what was contracted for under the CDAF, or repairs or
modifications attempted but not provided by us or by anyone else we explicitly
authorize in writing (ie: unsuccessful repair or modification attempts). (3)
Any Item(s) we were unable to provide for any reason within the period of time
that the discount or refund applied if we made an effort to provide it. (4)
Where payment or any part of payment for any of the Items is not valid, or where
the Client acted in bad faith. (5) Any Item mentioned on our webpages in which
we do not provide a separate Description with pricing of it on any of our webpages,
or any Item not mentioned on our webpages, but we obtain the Item for the Client
anyway (ie: special ordered Items).
MULTIPLE "IDENTICAL" CD DEVICES EXCEPTION:
As Policy, all CD projects for the same device type are unique in circuit design,
parts and layout, and may also substantially differ in function when customization
call differ between CD devices. Our only limited exception we make to this Policy
so that we can make very similar multiple devices in design, parts, layout and
function, under these additional Policies:
(1) Since each
device is unique, custom handmade and hand-tuned artistic-techno creations,
no two devices will ever be absolutely identical - only nearly identical at
best as we can reasonably do. We will always reasonably strive to make all devices
as close to identical as we reasonably can do if the Client requires it, and
to exceed - or at least meet - all Client specifications as we can reasonably
do.
(2) You must first
contract with us for one device by submitting a satisfactory CDAF for it (CDAF
#1). Then, after receiving the first (CDAF #1) device, you send us a written,
signed and dated statement within 30 days of device receipt that clearly states
that you are satisfied with that device, you can then submit a second CDAF (CDAF
#2) that specifies "X" number of "copies" of the first device. We are under
no obligation to accept either CD project, and may reject either of them at
any time for any reason or for no reason and with no liability to us.
(3) CDAF #2 must
have all of the same options specified as CDAF #1 throughout. Only minor and
cosmetic changes are permitted (eg: you prefer red LEDs over green), but otherwise
design, parts, layout and function must be specified exactly the same in CDAF
#2 as in CDAF #1. If significant changes are required, then you must submit
another CDAF #1 for the changed version, and any subsequent CDAF #2 will be
patterned off of the most recent CDAF #1. CDAF #2 cannot be for more than 99
devices nor $9,999 total. As with all CDAFs you submit with us, you are under
no obligation to accept our T&C Estimates. Should you accept our estimates,
a 1/3rd. non-refundable downpayment for the total cost estimate for CDAF #2
must be provided before we can start on this CD project as applicable to all
CD projects.
(4) Should we accept
your CDAF #2, the cost and time per device under CDAF #2 should be less to much
less than that estimated under CDAF #1, largely depending on your specified
quantity, parts availabilities and prices, and scheduling. CDAF #2 must be received
by us within 90 days of receipt of your CDAF #1 device, else you must submit
another CDAF #1 to restart the process. All of our Policies applicable to CD
projects, except any contradictory Policies found under this exception, fully
apply.
(5) If after receiving
all devices under CDAF #2, you provide us a clear written, signed and dated
statement that you are satisfied with all of them, we will permit one or more
subsequent re-submissions of CDAF #2.
(6) If the device
type has associated with it any special limitations (eg: it is an RF device
that may require licensing, or a PMEM device that requires acceptable photos
of the meter under test, or special disclaimers regarding legalities) then all
required special limitations will be applied equally as well to each and every
one of the CDAF #1 and CDAF #2 devices. No matter under what Policy or circumstances
we design and build a device, all devices are strictly limited to legal utility,
educational and/or entertainment purposes only. Furthermore, you agree to assume
full liability for all CD project devices you purchase from us under any set
of Policies and that you sell or distribute to or use in conjunction with anyone
else. No device is ever intended for anyone except the actual person who signs
our contracts for the device - even if the device is ordered by and paid for
by a company, agency, institution, association or any other organization.
CLAIMS OF WRONG DEVICE TYPE, MISLABELED
DEVICE FEATURE OR FUNCTION, DEFECTIVE DEVICE, MISSING-ACCESSORY DEVICE, MISSING-FEATURE
DEVICE, OR UNWANTED-FEATURE DEVICE SENT: With the multiple identical CD devices
exception stated above, all of our devices are unique in design, parts and layout
from all other of our devices whether of the same device type or of a different
device type (which will also always have one or more different functions but
could have one or more similar functions), and even whether or not they sound
like very similar device types (some of our device types are similar to each
other). If you believe that we provided a different device type to you instead
of what you had contracted for under your CDAF, you may of course inquire about
that with us and we will certainly verify whether or not we mistakenly provide
you the wrong device type (eg: we finished two devices at about the same time
but somehow mistakenly switched them between Clients (to date, we have not yet
made such a mistake or built a device from the wrong set of plans)). We do our
reasonable best to do an excellent job for our Clients so that you will likely
return to us for your future customized device needs. If we have made such a
mistake, we will then notify you of such, and upon return of the wrong device,
we will do our reasonable best to provide you the right device within 30 days
of our receipt of the device back from you. However, if after checking, we verify
that we sent you the right device type but you still believe that it is the
wrong device type, then for us to replace the device as above or consider any
type of refund, you must first provide us documented proof that we sent you
the wrong device type (if the device is simply not labeled the way you may have
expected, we will (if you wish) gladly change or add to the labeling to what
you want as long as the change is not deceptive and will reasonably fit on the
box; however, wrong or missing labeling is not grounds for device replacement
or refund, but if a device is returned to us with return shipping because of
a wrong label or unwanted feature, we will replace wrong labeling and remove
or correct unwanted features for free). For claimed missing accessories, device
return is usually not required, and we will do our best to replace missing accessories
for free. For documented proof of an alleged defective device, we may require
that you have the device tested totally at your expense with a reputable electronic
or scientific testing laboratory. If we sent you the right device type but the
device lacked some operationally-critical feature you clearly and explicitly
specified in your CDAF, and if we indeed left out any major feature you specified
in writing in your CDAF (and not because we found we could not include them
for some technical or legal reason that has arisen), we will certainly try to
modify the device for the missing feature for free, Client pays for return shipping.
If on the other hand we had added in an extra or additional feature than the
features you had specified in your CDAF, we will NOT remove it unless (A) The
extra feature substantially interferes with your CDAF-specified features, (B)
Removal of the extra feature will not adversely affect any specified feature
and can be done without damaging other circuit parts or functions, (C) We had
charged you and you had paid us in full for the extra feature, and (D) You clearly
state in writing to remove the extra feature. If we remove an extra feature
that no one else has attempted to remove and the device is otherwise undamaged,
we do not charge for this removal. And we never refund any money for removing
an extra feature. If we include extra features you did not ask for, you will
not be charged extra for them - this often happens because we want to bend over
backwards for our Good Clients. Before returning any device to us based on the
error types covered in this paragraph, you must first clear with us in writing,
and in these cases, we will replace, change or modify the device free of charge
and we will pay for reasonable return S/H of device. Furthermore, in all disputes
under our Policies, you fully understand, agree to and accept all of the following
provisions without qualification or reservation:
(1) You agree not
to return the device to us until and unless we explicitly permit you to do so
in writing. As with all returns, we assume no liability for any uncleared item
sent to us or received by us.
(2) You agree that
the 30-day replacement, repair or modification period starts upon our receipt
of the device from you with all of its operational accessories (eg: cabling,
power supply, sensors, output devices, etc., if any), and with all its parts,
seals and labels intact and none have not been removed, changed, covered up,
deleted, cut, contaminated or otherwise tampered with. See EXCEPTIONS TO WARRANTY
below.
(3) Do not send
to us any item that has been made illegal, used in an illegal way, made hazardous,
used in a hazardous way, contaminated, operated in a way contrary to its User
Manual, or otherwise abused in any way (that may risk or damage its safety or
operation) after we had shipped it to you. No such item is part of any acceptable
warranty by us.
(4) In wrong-device
claims, you agree to assume all of the burden of proof efforts, time and expenses
to try to prove that we sent you the alleged "wrong" device type if, after checking
by us, we verified sending you the right device type.
(5) You agree that
you are not entitled to any design information, schematics, plans or layout
diagrams from us for any device for any reason unless we have previously and
explicitly agreed to provide you this data in a contract we have with you. Any
design-related information we may be legally required to provide you, you agree
to maintain all of it in strict confidentiality.
(6) You agree that
you must notify us in clear and complete writing (by Postal Mail) of your sincere
belief of having received a defective or wrong device covered by these provisions
within 14 days of you receiving the device from us or you waive, forego, nullify
and abandon all of your rights you can legally waive, forego, nullify or abandon
to any and all remedies, if any, based on a complaint or claim based on these
provisions.
(7) You fully agree
that if you cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that we provided you a device
covered by these provisions, OR you have not returned the device to us in acceptable
condition as stated herein and within 30 days of your receipt of it and with
our prior permission, OR we can substantially resolve your claim within the
limitations of your CDAF within 30 days of our receipt of the returned device,
you forever waive, forego, nullify and abandon all rights you can legally waive,
forego, nullify and abandon to any refund. No warranty period, no refund period,
and no free replacement, free repair and free modification period extends more
than 30 days beyond your receipt of the device or service, unless you clearly
and explicitly request on your CDAF for a specific longer warranty period or
we agree in writing to a specific longer period.
EXTRA PRODUCTS & SERVICES: We often run into a situation where a Client realizes he/she forgot or overlooked a product, service or time he/she wants added to his/her unique Customized Devices (CD) project, and now wants to add this extra product, service or time feature to his/her CD project. While other outfits may gouge you or refuse to add your extra feature(s), we do not. We almost always allow extra features; and they are FREE: (1) If the extra feature cost us no more than 1.0% of our Estimated Cost, (2) If the added feature is not likely to damage the Device or interfere with any of the CDAF-specified functions for the Device (many requested extra features are things like extra cables, ultra-fast shipping and other things that do not require Device modification), (3) If you are totally paid up in all respects, and (4) If the Client has not consumed significant amounts of our time and efforts responding to concerns not directly related to his/her CD project. If we have already substantially created the Device, or we do not charge for the extra feature(s), or the extra feature(s) does not normally affect Device functioning, we assume no liability for attempting to provide or install the extra feature(s), whether or not our efforts were successful.
UNREASONABLE SPECIFICATIONS, REQUESTS & DEMANDS: While we permit and even encourage a wide range of permitted customizations for any device-type, whether or not it is specifically described on this website, whether or not it is the original device or a modification or upgrade/update, does not mean that we permit unreasonable specifications for that type of device. Without liability to us, we reserve the right to ignore all unreasonable Client specifications in the CDAF based on what the device type is intended to do, or what we believe to be scientifically impractical, or what we believe is not within our capability to reasonably realize, or which essentially converts one of our device types into another device type, or which copies or reverse engineers someone else's device type, or which contradicts another specification(s), or which involves chemicals or radiation or anything illegal or unsafe, or has new specifications or expectations which the Client provides us not explicitly specified in the CDAF or covered by an additional acceptable CDAF, or which guarantees an end result for the Client which is not directly electronic or mechanical in nature (eg: better health, an end to mind control attacks, warding off feral animals, etc.), or which can only be tested in an environment we can't reasonably reproduce in our labs. For example, if the Client specifies a 12-volt power supply but then expects it to also serve as a dog whistle, we are in no way responsible for including or changing it to a dog whistle feature. Also, if you are not a Client or potential Client of Lone Star Consulting, Inc., or you are a reporter, investigator or similar with possible intent to injure Lone Star Consulting, Inc. or any of its officers, employees, contractors, etc., you are not entitled to images, descriptions, information, hardware, records or anything else which we do not already promise or provide on this website (any of these extra items that we do provide you are strictly proprietary to us), unless we are ordered to provide it to you by a court of competent jurisdiction before you demand it, and you fully agree that we may charge you a non-refundable fee to consider and fulfill any such request or demand unless otherwise specifically and explicitly forbidden by law. Furthermore, if you request and we provide you information about the degree of satisfaction that other of our Clients have provided us relevant to they doing business with us in general or relevant to a device of interest to you, you fully agree that our co-operation does not in any way obligate us to later provide you the identities of our satisfied Clients or exactly what their CDAF project consisted of. To protect the privacy of all of our Clients, we never provide a backdoor way for anyone to obtain our Client identities or device or project information.
These Policies do NOT establish any partnership, joint venture, employment, franchise, sales representative or agency relationship between Clients and LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. nor with anyone associated with LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. reserves the right to do business with or not to do business with whomever it sees fit, within the limits of the law, without any explanation or liability. LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. is a closely-held corporation, which makes all of its decisions based on The Church of Bible Prophecy religious beliefs and doctrines of its owners - with no liability to LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC., to The Church, to its owners, or to Church Officials.
LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. assumes no duty or other responsibility to provide anyone a copy of any previous webpage or part thereof, Policy, item description, Client document of any kind, software or returned hardware unless ordered to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction and the document, software or hardware is still available in some form in which it can possibly provide it or a copy of it, according to its "Document, Hardware, and Software Retention & Disposition Policies" (below). Clients and all other interested parties have the duty to keep and preserve all documents, software and hardware relative to their business with it. However, if LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. can reasonably locate the document, software or hardware needed or a copy of it, it will try to provide it to the requester. However, charges may apply for searching for it, and if found, charges may also apply for shipping and handling it (all charges are non-refundable and paid-in-full prior to rendering of that service).
INCOMPLETE DOCUMENTATION: It is very important for Clients to provide us documentation which is accurate, complete and timely. All pages of all documents must be provided to us, including those pages which do not require a Client entry. The Client should not remove staples from stapled documents. Clients assume total responsibility for submitting complete and accurate documentation to us on a timely basis, including but not limited to the CD Application Form, the CD Cost & Time Estimates form, and written responses to our emails and letters. Lone Star Consulting, Inc. assumes no liability for missing, incomplete, inaccurate or late documentation received by it, and is under no obligation to inform the Client that his/her documentation is missing, incomplete, inaccurate or arrived too late (we will in most such cases attempt to contact the Client in writing (usually by email) and all responses from the Client must be in writing). Furthermore, we may assume what the accurately completed documentation would likely have stated had the Client provided it, and we accept no liability for any such assumptions even if our assumptions are wrong and/or incomplete as long as to the best of our knowledge and belief (based upon earlier written communications) to be correct and complete.
SPECIFIED VALUES & TOLERANCES: Some specified values we assume to be exact values. For example, if the Client buys 5 devices from us but we can only successfully complete 4 devices, we will fully refund the Client for the missing 5th device based on our Policies herein. However, all values provided to us which are controlled by electronic, mechanical, chemical, biological or construction performance, unless also specified with a tolerance (eg: 500 ±5%), is considered to be a nominal value in which the resulting actual value may vary significantly. For example, you can take two non-trivial circuits created using duplicately-labeled parts, and the overall circuit performances can easily vary by substantial amounts. Assuming specified values to be nominal values is not an uncommon practice. For example, a new fully-charged "9-volt" battery has a typical actual voltage of about 9.6 volts. And standard Home Depot-type 2x4 lumber is actually only 1-3/4" x 3-1/2". Unless the Client clearly specifies a tolerance for each part value provided us, which usually results in greater expense to meet depending on how difficult it is to meet the Client's tolerance, we always assume nominal values because they are generally much more available and less expensive. However, as a customized design house which appreciates its Clients, we always make reasonable efforts to produce devices which OUTPERFORM the Client' specified values. For examples, we often use expensive electronic parts because they have superior performance to the cheap common parts many other makers use, we handpick electronic parts critical to a circuit's performance, and we hand tune circuits to produce optimum performances - which usually makes our devices far superior not only to any off-the-shelf foreign-made versions others may be selling but to many other customized design houses as well.
NO OFFICER, EMPLOYEE OR CONTRACTOR OF LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. IS EVER PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY DEBT, OBLIGATION, PAYMENT, CONTRACT PROVISION, DUTY OR ACTION OWED OR MADE BY LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. FURTHERMORE, LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. IS NEVER RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY PERSONAL DEBT, OBLIGATION, PAYMENT, DUTY OR ACTION OWED OR MADE BY ANY OFFICER, EMPLOYEE OR CONTRACTOR OF LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. FURTHERMORE, NEITHER LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. NOR ANY OFFICER OR EMPLOYEE OF LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. IS EVER RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEBT, OBLIGATION, PAYMENT, DUTY OR ACTION OWED OR MADE BY ANY LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. CONTRACTOR, INCLUDED BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY OF ITS SUPPLIERS AND AGENTS. FURTHERMORE, NO CONTRACTOR OF LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. IS EVER RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DEBT, OBLIGATION, PAYMENT, DUTY OR ACTION OWED OR MADE BY LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. OR BY ANY LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. OFFICER, EMPLOYEE OR OTHER CONTRACTOR.
LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. FULLY INTENDS TO PAY FOR OR PERFORM ALL OF ITS DEBTS, OBLIGATIONS, DUTIES AND ACTIONS IT IS LEGALLY OBLIGATED TO DO ON A TIMELY BASIS AND ACCORDING TO THE PROVISIONS, QUALIFICATIONS AND EXCEPTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN. HOWEVER, IF LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. HAS MADE TWO SINCERE ATTEMPTS TO PAY A DEBT USING ANY VALID FORM OF PAYMENT (eg: check, money order, credit card, debit card, cash, return of Trade Item) AND THE PARTY TO WHOM THE PAYMENT IS BEING MADE ALLEGES THAT THE PAYMENT IS INVALID, THEN THAT PARTY FULLY AGREES TO WITHOUT LIMITATION AND WITHOUT LIABILITY OR FURTHER OBLIGATION TO LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. TO THE IMMEDIATE, TOTAL AND PERMANENT CANCELLATION OF THE DEBT AND ALL ACCRUED INTEREST, IF ANY, ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEBT, AND FULLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES TO NOT UNDERTAKE ANY COLLECTIONS OR ANY OTHER LEGAL, REGULATORY, ADMINISTRATIVE, QUASI-GOVERNMENT (eg: BBB) OR SOCIAL MEDIA COMPLAINT OR ACTION, OR INITIATE OR PERSIST IN ANY EXISTING COLLECTIONS, LEGAL, REGULATORY, ADMINISTRATIVE, QUASI-GOVERNMENT OR SOCIAL MEDIA COMPLAINTS OR ACTIONS RELEVANT TO ANY ALLEGED DEBT AGAINST LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. OR ANYONE EMPLOYED BY OR OTHERWISE ASSOCIATED WITH LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. WILL NOT ENGAGE IN OR CO-OPERATE WITH ANY SCHEME OR ACTIVITY WHICH APPEARS TO IT TO BE A SCAM, FRAUD, PHISHING ATTEMPT, CREDIT CARD/DEBIT CARD/PERSONAL/CORPORATE DATA HARVESTING ATTEMPT, ETC. WITHOUT LIABILITY.
IF YOU ARE ENTITLED TO A REFUND FOR ANY REASON, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, RETURN OF ITEM FOR WHICH A REFUND IS PERMITTED UNDER OUR POLICIES, AN ONLINE AUCTION TRANSACTION, AN OVERPAYMENT, AN ERRONEOUS PAYMENT, A DISALLOWED PAYMENT (eg: a payment that includes a commission or a fee), OR A NON-APPROVED METHOD OR FORM OF PAYMENT, AND THUS YOU DID NOT PAY BY POSTAL MONEY ORDER (POSTAL MO or PMO), TRADE, OR U.S. CASH METHOD, BUT INSTEAD PAID US BY CHECK OR NON-POSTAL MO, WE WILL REQUIRE 90+ DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT WE DEPOSITED YOUR PAYMENT TO REFUND YOU THAT PORTION OF YOUR PAYMENT WE OWE YOU AS A REFUND, WITHOUT LIABILITY, EXPLANATION OR INTEREST TO YOU. FURTHERMORE, IF YOUR CLAIM TO A REFUND IS BASED ON ANY ERROR THAT IS YOUR FAULT OR THAT IS DUE TO OVERPAYMENT, ERRONEOUS PAYMENT, DISALLOWED OR NON-APPROVED METHOD OR FORM OF PAYMENT, YOUR FAILURE TO READ OR FULLY UNDERSTAND OUR POLICIES OR YOUR MISUNDERSTANDING OF A DESCRIPTION OR POLICY, YOUR VIOLATION OF A LEGAL POLICY, OR YOUR REFUSAL TO COMPLY WITH A LEGAL POLICY WE WILL CHARGE YOU 10% OF YOUR ENTITLED REFUND ($50 minimum) AS A PROCESSING FEE (PAID TO US BY PMO OR CASH ONLY), PLUS ALL BANKING AND ALL OTHER FEES WE INCUR RELEVANT TO THE TRANSACTION, IF ANY. NOTE: IT IS THE CLIENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO NOTIFY US WITHIN 60 DAYS AFTER THE END OF A CLEARANCE PERIOD FOR US TO SEND THE CLIENT HIS/HER REFUND, AND WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO APPLY ALL OR PART OF THE REFUND TO COSTS THAT WE INCURRED, IF ANY, RELEVANT TO THE CLIENT'S BUSINESS WITH US. The reason for this Policy is that there is a scam in which a criminal "pays" using a bad payment designed to delay processing by banks, then demands a partial or full refund before payment can totally clear, only for the merchant to later discover that the original payment bounced. NOTE: OF COURSE, FOR ERRORS THAT LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. HAS DONE, TO THE EXTENT THEY WERE DONE, WILL NOT RESULT IN A PROCESSING FEE TO YOU.
CONSULTING AND PENALTY FEES APPLY TO TIME WASTERS AND ALL OTHER INAPPROPRIATE BEHAVIORS: As our Client, you will realize that our goal is to serve you as fast and as efficiently as we reasonably can - you get the best devices, and just as fast as we can get them to you! This means that our time is valuable and we must eliminate wasted time (ie: any contact or activity that consumes any of our time we could have devoted to projects when you have little or no real intent of becoming a Good Client of ours) - including but not limited to time wasted dealing with time wasters who contact us just to unsolicited sell us things, conduct polls, obtain free information, harass us, investigate us (eg: surveil us, bug us, tap into any of our lines, track us, pursue us, observe us, record us, search for records on us, question people who may know us, question our people about things or information not directly related to your projects), threaten and/us or to otherwise waste our time, and those who contact us again after we told them not to contact us again. Every minute we waste with a time waster is a minute we are not serving our Good Clients. As a free consumer service, we offer a comprehensive and extensive Mind Control and Electronic Attack Tutorial to our Good Clients, designed to both describe these technologies and to help you understand what devices you may need. And most of our device-type descriptions are comprehensive, and these Policies webapages extensively address our Policies. For those who are seriously interested in buying from us (or doing a newsmedia story or book in which we will be mentioned), we do not mind answering reasonable and concise questions and concerns directly related to what we do. However, if the reason for or the result of contacting us is believed by us to be excessive or to obtain free information on technologies which either does not directly relate to device-types we sell, or that becomes clear to us is not for the purpose of buying anything from us, or to try to find out about another company or its product or service, or is about our personnel, or to harass, investigate or threaten us, or to sell us something, or to conduct a survey or poll or is mostly about our opinions, or the time waster dangles out a proposed project(s) as a ploy to get us to spend time answering his/her questions and addressing his/her issues, or he/she does not contract with us for a proposed project within 30 days of his/her first contact with us, the time waster 100% agrees without any qualifications or reservations to reimburse us for at least $250 per hour fee for our wasted time spent addressing his/her questions and inquiries (each 6 minutes counts as 0.1 hours for billing purposes) as a consulting fee (at Lone Star Consulting, Inc.'s discretion, forbidden inappropriate contact fees may additionally apply, see below). This consulting fee also applies if one contacts us with questions or concerns using any email address, mail address or phone number we have which is unknown in origin, its origin is misleading or inaccurately described, or it apparently involves any fraud or deception, or it makes our response undeliverable or wrongly deliverable. This consulting fee also applies if one repeatedly contacts us with questions, issues and concerns already addressed on our webpages or explained in a provided User Manual (evidence time waster did not read our webpages first), and it also applies if one improperly contacts an officer or employee of Lone Star Consulting, Inc. for any personal reason using a Lone Star Consulting, Inc. physical, mail or email address or phone number. Furthermore, the time waster 100% agrees, without qualification or reservation, to additionally reimburse us as an additional consulting fee a minimum of 10% of all of his/her gross income from any and all sales, salary, payments, fees, commissions, prospects, opportunities, and/or profits he/she is promised or received for contacting us for any reason stated in this paragraph. Furthermore, if the time waster fails to pay in full all of these fees and penalties within 30 days of them being incurred, we reserve the right to charge him/her 1.5% per month interest on any unpaid balance plus all reasonable collection, investigative and legal fees and costs directly or indirectly incurred, and to fully investigate why he/she contacted us and what he/she intends to do with our information (at which time we may disclose any and all personal and private information he/she provided us) at no liability to us. Furthermore, if and when it becomes clear to us that no sales are likely to result from any communications with the contactor, we reserve the right to totally cut off the contactor from doing any future business or other contact with us, at which point he/she must never contact us again. Furthermore, if we informed the contactor about the price or value of answering his/her questions or concerns would be waived if the contactor contracted with us for the described CD project(s) on a timely basis, and the contactor failed to contract with us for that CD project(s) or did contract with us but later demanded a refund, then the contactor agrees to immediately reimburse us in full for that quoted price or value PLUS any additional costs to us collecting that owed amounts or based on a loss leader amount (occasionally, we will assume a loss as a deal sweetener with the expectation that in the long run we will make a profit with the Client - which tactic we call a "loss leader"). FEES MAY BE WAIVED: In such cases and totally at our own discretion, we may waive any or all fees if, and only if, at the beginning of contact with us that the person accurately and fully discloses to us his/her accurate, complete and current name, address, phone number and intentions for contacting us, and all such disclosures must be in writing (eg: email, postal mail), and we acknowledge the disclosures in writing. Except in cases where we view a Good Client to be abusive in the use or waste of our time, we almost never charge the Good Client for wasting our time.
MUTUAL CONFIDENTIALITY & PRIVACY
AGREEMENT TO NOT DISCLOSE: As stated herein, Lone Star Consulting, Inc. respects
your confidentiality and privacy. Respect for confidentiality and privacy is
a mutual responsibility to be honored by us and by everyone who contacts us
for any reason. As a Client or as another person or entity who has contacted
us for any reason, you fully and unconditionally agree to:

or by the ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction.
You fully and unconditionally
agree, that if you violate this provision, within 30 days, to pay, reimburse,
indemnify and hold harmless Lone Star Consulting, Inc., and all its people for
all real losses plus for all estimated likely and potential losses plus large
punitive damages - resulting directly and indirectly from any and all such actions
by you or by anyone on your behest or behalf or that results from your own negligence
or intent. You also fully and unconditionally agree that Lone Star Consulting,
Inc., and all of its officers, employees, agents and contractors can then publicly
and frankly explain and/or defend themselves totally at your personal expense,
and you, within 30 days, fully pay, reimburse, indemnify and hold them harmless
for all relevant efforts on their parts to publicly defend themselves (including
but not limited to them using public relations and advertisements to defend
themselves), and with no liability to any of them even if their defense reveals
personal, private, confidential and negative information about you and those
associated with you. You also fully and unconditionally agree to forever and
totally waive, abandon, nullify and forego all defenses, including but not limited
to all defenses relevant to immunity, and all statutes of limitation that may
otherwise apply.
LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. often provides substantial Discounted Prices for its products and services when, for example, more than one CD Device is contracted for. IF WE AND A CLIENT ENTER INTO A DISCOUNT AGREEMENT OF ANY KIND, IF THE CLIENT FAILS TO MEET ANY OF THE PROVISIONS OR CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE DISCOUNT AGREEMENT IS BREACHED WITH NO LIABILITY TO US, AND THE FULL UNDISCOUNTED PRICE(S) SHALL IMMEDIATELY APPLY TO BOTH ALL COMPLETED AND ALL UNCOMPLETED ITEMS WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THE DISCOUNT AGREEMENT, AND ALL RESULTING PAYMENT DIFFERENCES BY THE CLIENT SHALL BE PAID TO US WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THIS BREACH. EXCEPT FOR CANCELLING THE DISCOUNT PROVISIONS OF THE DISCOUNT AGREEMENT, NO OTHER PARTS OF THE AGREEMENT ARE CANCELLED AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO DESIGN, BUILD AND CHARGE FOR ALL ITEMS. Furthermore, if a refund situation results, the paid discount price(s) shall be the basis of such refund, and not the unpaid full price. This provision is required to stop dishonest Clients from luring us into discount agreements for more than one product and/or service, then cancelling the remaining items after we have substantially started on the first one or few items and we have put in design and tooling efforts and/or obtained the materials and parts for the additionally contracted-for devices. Further note that when a discount applies because more than one device and/or service was provided, and the devices and/or services used related technologies (eg: Ultrasonic Jammer + Ultrasonic Detector), we reserve the right with no liability to us to provide the devices and/or services in the same enclosure, in physically joined enclosures, in enclosures electrically or electronically connected to each other, and/or during the same time period, and/or with shared common circuit parts or subsections (eg: shared power supplies). This same provision applies if we need to modify or repair an existing device in a way that requires parts that do not fit into the existing enclosure, we may physically join to it another/other enclosure(s) to hold the additional parts. This provision is a great benefit to Clients because most of our devices are portable, and it is far easier for Clients to carry and operate one device or joined device for related technologies, switching them ON and OFF with only one power switch than carrying and operating multiple devices at the same time, even if each is individually portable. Furthermore, we reserve the right with no liability to us, that if one or some of the devices we provide we must provide as a non-functional model, mock-up, replica or novelty device that share the same parts with another or other devices that we normally provide as functional devices then we may provide all of the shared-parts devices as non-functional model, mock-up, replica or novelty devices. This provision is because by making any part of a non-functional device functional, then some might erroneously complain, as a legal technicality, that we provided funcional devices.
YOU AGREE THAT LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. MAY MODIFY THESE POLICIES, THE DESCRIPTIONS OF ITS PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, AND ITS PRICES FROM TIME TO TIME. FURTHERMORE, YOU AGREE TO BE FULLY BOUND BY ANY AND ALL LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. REASONABLE CHANGES OF THESE POLICIES, ITS PRODUCT AND SERVICE DESCRIPTIONS, AND ITS PRICES WHEN SUCH CHANGES ARE MADE UNLESS THESE CHANGES EXPLICITLY CONTRADICT OR CONFLICT WITH SPECIFIC PROVISIONS OF AN EXISTING CONTRACT.
NO OTHER WARRANTY APPLIES (EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED) EXCEPT THOSE LIMITED WARRANTEES EXPLICITLY STATED UNDER ALL OF OUR STATED POLICIES THAT CAN BE APPLIED TO THE PURCHASE OR USE OF ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE.
ALL CD ITEMS ARE PROVIDED AS A UNIQUE SERVICE ONLY. NO CD DEVICE WE DESIGN OR MAKE IS OFFERED OR CLAIMED TO BE OFF-THE-SHELF OR OVER-THE-COUNTER, OR AS A "STOCK" ITEM. THE AVAILABILITY OF ANY CD DEVICE-TYPE IS NOT GUARANTEED IN ANY QUANTITY. IF THE TOTAL AVAILABLE QUANTITY OF AN ITEM IS NOT INCLUDED IN ITS DESCRIPTION, THEN THE ASSUMED QUANTITY IS THE MINIMUM QUANTITY REQUIRED TO FILL ONE CD PROJECT(Note 1: For quantities greater than one, each CD item will be uniquely designed and/or laid-out from all others; you may of course email us at any time to inquire about available quantities). (Note 2: While we will certainly do our best to fulfill a CD service for the specified quantity of items, if for whatever reasons we cannot provide that quantity in good condition, we will ship the quantity of acceptable quality pieces we have produced as part of the CD). If we are unable to ship the specified quantity, we will do a partial shipment, plus a partial refund based on a proration of your CD we are unable to fulfill no matter why we are unable to fulfill your total order and at no liability to us beyond the partial shipment and partial refund. While we almost always 100% successfully complete a CD project, on relatively rare occasions and primarily due to a part we had anticipated at the beginning but which is no longer available to us, is defective or does not come up to spec, we may be able to only partially complete a CD project. In which case, if we are not able to complete an important specified functional part of the CD specifications (eg: the specified detection, processing, displaying and/or outputing of one or more major specified electronic signals, or major damage to the device not caused after receipt by Client), the Client is not required to pay the 2/3rds balance owed on his/her CD project (the Client will either not be shipped the CD device or must first return the CD device to avoid the 2/3rds balance) until we are given a reasonable opportunity to correct the major deficiency and we are unable to do so. If the CD project is already shipped, the Client must explicitly notify us in writing (delivered email or Postal Mail) as to this deficiency within 14 days of his/her receipt. However, the Client also has the option to negotiate with us for a reduction in CD project cost to make up for the absence of the important specified function(s). Since all CD project devices are 100% custom handmade from scratch, are artistic-techno works and are unique (ie: no two layouts are the same, so we have no pattern to guide us), many undergo much handling in their storage, construction, modification, repairs, fine-tuning, testing and packaging. Even great works of art and crafts have visible imperfections, and our devices are both technically and artistically created, modified and repaired. While imperfections are unusual, the Client must expect some tool marks, stains, mistakes and accidents, and other indications of our storage, construction, handling, testing and packaging of the device, and we do not compensate for wear, tear, tool marks, stains, mistakes and accidents, and other imperfections which gets onto a device during its parts storage, construction, modification, upgrading, repair, tuning, testing, and/or packaging unless they directly, substantially and adversely affect a major described function(s) or feature(s) of the device. We clean and sanitize all devices just prior to shipping, which may still leave some imperfections. While we are always very careful to not make mistakes on anything, occasionally they do occur. If the CD project is not 100% completed due to some non-functional, relatively minor functional or cosmetic specification not being met (eg: type of connector, type of enclosure, type of power supply, the color, texture, composition, size, shape or weight of anything, etc.), upon explicit, written request (delivered email or Postal Mail) by the Client within 14 days of receiving his/her CD project (if already shipped), we may offer a Good Client a modest reduction in the final dollar amount he/she owes us or has paid us for a 100% successfully completed CD project, but the Client does not have the option to refuse to pay the balance for his/her CD project. However in any case, if we dispute the Client's claim of functional deficiency, we may first require the Client to independently prove his/her claim totally at his/her time and expense and beyond reasonable doubt.
Although in our assessment our CD devices work as well or better than others approved by the bureaucracy (eg: FCC, FDA, UL), BECAUSE ALL OF OUR DEVICES ARE UNIQUE, EXPERIMENTAL AND CUSTOM HANDMADE, WE MAKE NO CLAIMS THAT REQUIRE PRIOR GOVERNMENTAL, INDUSTRIAL, COMMERCIAL OR PRIVATE APPROVAL. NOTHING WE PUBLISH IS A PLAN OR HOW-TO-DO MANUAL UNLESS WE SPECIFICALLY AND EXPLICITY DESCRIBE IT AS SUCH. EVERYTHING WE MAKE, SELL OR PROVIDE IS MADE, SOLD OR PROVIDED BY LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. ON A WITHOUT RECOURSE BASIS TO US WITH EXCEPTIONS EXPLICITLY STATED HEREIN, IF ANY. BECAUSE OF FEDERAL AND OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS, WE CANNOT PROVIDE ANY FUNCTIONING ULTRASONIC OR RADIO FREQUENCY (RF) DEVICE WE BELIEVE CAN JAM, BLOCK OR INTERFERE WITH A LICENSED ULTRASONIC OR RF TRANSMITTER OR OTHER PROTECTED COMMUNICATIONS. NOR CAN WE PROVIDE ANY FUNCTIONING DEVICE WHICH WE BELIEVE IS HAZARDOUS OR DANGEROUS (eg: high voltage devices, ignition devices, etc.) AS A FUNCTIONAL DEVICE, OR WE BELIEVE LIKELY ILLEGALLY VIOLATES ANY APPLICABLE LAW, REGULATION OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT. WE CAN PROVIDE RF, PHONE, MEDICAL*, SURVEILLANCE AND OTHER DEVICES ONLY AS LEGAL, NON-HAZARDOUS, NON-DANGEROUS AND NON-FUNCTIONAL REPLICAS, MODELS, MOCK-UPS or NOVELTIES, AND WITH NO WARRANTY AS TO FUNCTIONALITY, NO TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND NO INSTALLED BATTERIES PROVIDED ("User Manuals" are provided only for historical, display, conversational piece or artistic purposes only). IF AN ITEM HAS CERTAIN USES WHICH REQUIRES APPROVAL (approval may be in the form of a license, permit or other form of approval accepted by the entity with approval jurisdiction) BY A GOVERNMENT, CORPORATE, INDUSTRIAL OR OTHER ENTITY AND HAS OTHER USES WHICH NO APPROVAL IS BELIEVED BY US TO BE REQUIRED, WE CAN PROVIDE THE ITEM ONLY FOR THEIR LEGAL USES (eg: Dental picks are sold by both dentists/dental suppliers for dental/medical uses and by tool/hardware stores for various mechanical uses; if we included dental picks as part of your device, they would be for their mechanical uses only). For non-functional devices, 1-3 simple final assembly steps are required to convert them into fully functional units but only if the Client is fully licensed and permitted to do so by all applicable authorities, and can do so legally and safely. At our discretion, devices which are overall non-functional, may be provided as partially-functional units if the functional unit(s) is not controversial and has no known illegal, unethical, hazardous or dangerous use (eg: a device which has a power supply and produces both a RF signal and non-RF signals, the power supply and non-RF signal sections may be provided fully functional while the RF section is provided only as non-functional). All parts and descriptions are included with the device for these simple steps for your strictly legal utility, entertainment and educational purposes only. Note that while we can provide some devices or their circuit sections only as non-functional devices/sections to make sure that they are authentic replicas, models, mock-ups or novelties, we test them with dummy loads ("dummy load" testing originates from the standard method used by electronic engineers and technicians to test and align RF transmitters without actually transmitting a RF signal through an antenna which may violate regulations and/or interfere with properly licensed transmitters), but ship them with their specified antennas. NEVER MAKE AN ILLEGAL, HAZARDOUS OR DANGEROUS CONVERSION OR USE OF ANY DEVICE. IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU DO NOT INTERFERE WITH ANY LICENSED ULTRASONIC OR RF TRANSMITTER FOR ANY REASON, AND IF YOU DO, YOU MUST SHUT OFF THE DEVICE IMMEDIATELY AND NOT USE IT AGAIN. IF YOU ARE UNDER FCC JURISDICTION AND/OR SIMILAR JURISDICTIONS, THEIR APPROVAL(S) OBTAINED BY YOU MAY BE REQUIRED BEFORE PROVIDING US YOUR CDAF FOR ANY FUNCTIONAL ULTRASONIC OR EMF TRANSMITTING DEVICE AND FOR ANY NON-FUNCTIONAL ULTRASONIC OR RF TRANSMITTING DEVICE OR CIRCUIT SECTION WHICH YOU INTEND TO CONVERT INTO A FUNCTIONAL FORM; IF NOT UNDER FCC OR SIMILAR JURISDICTION, WRITTEN APPROVAL MAY BE REQUIRED OF YOU FROM WHATEVER GOVERNMENT AGENCY(IES) OR ENTITY(IES) IN YOUR JURISDICTION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LICENSING AND PERMITTING ULTRASONIC OR RF TRANSMISSIONS. ALTERNATIVELY, YOUR ULTRASONIC OR RF APPROVAL ENTITY MAY INFORM YOU THAT FOR YOUR LOCATION, THE DEVICE FREQUENCY AND RANGE, AND INTENDED USES OF THE DEVICE, NO LICENSES OR PERMITS ARE REQUIRED. We do not recommend or imply that any illegal conversion, nor other modification or use be made, and again all licensing, permits and other approvals required to convert a non-functioning device to functional and all uses of the device are the sole responsibilities and liabilities of the Client.*No device we provide is provided as a medical device or medically-assistive device, and we make no medical claims, opinions or advice. However, if we believe that any government with jurisdiction would likely classify any device of ours as a medical-type device contrary to our intentions to provide it only as a non-medical device, we can only provide it as a model, mock-up, replica or novelty as stated herein.
EXCEPTIONS TO WARRANTY:
LONE STAR CONSULTING, INC. ASSUMES NO LIABILITY AND EXTENDS NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, FOR USE OF ANY ITEM IN ANY MANNER EXCEPT WHAT IS LEGAL, SAFE, AND
EXPLICITLY DESCRIBED IN EITHER ITS MAKER'S USER MANUAL (unless stated otherwise,
always automatically included with CD devices, but usually not included with
hardware bought thru eBay), OR BY US IF INTENDED OR USED FOR A DIFFERENT USE
OTHER THAN WHAT THE ORIGINAL MAKER HAD INTENDED (eg: dental picks, while originally
intended to clean teeth, but sold by us and many others for mechanical uses
such as for cleaning electronic boards), OR TO ANYONE OTHER THAN THE ORIGINAL
PURCHASER. Note that not every function and feature of some hardware items may
have been tested by us, especially when it comes to eBay items, as we sell such
a huge variety of hardware items, many of them unique and many without User
Manual, that it is not uncommon for us to lack the knowledge of how an item
is supposed to function in its every respect or all of its features (some which
may be undocumented), as well as we may lack the often high specialized equipment
usually required to thoroughly test some items, and some items are sold and
shipped packaged new or sealed with no access to test any function or feature.
In some eBay cases, about all we can do is a power-up test. And some items may
have so many functions and features that it would take an unreasonable amount
of time and resources to individually test each one so sample testing and/or
most important function/feature testing are done instead.
........OUR ADVERTISED DESCRIPTIONS: When we
describe an Item made by someone else in our ads - whether eBay, or elsewhere
- we try to be as accurate and complete as we reasonably can. We have 1,000s
of different Items listed on eBay and elsewhere ranging from ICs to antiques
and we are not an expert about all of these Item types, so we occasionally make
an misstatement, error, oversight or omission (if we have made a misstatement,
error, oversight or omission, please freely email us about it, and we will try
to correct it), and we assume no liability for doing so. And many of our descriptions
depend upon the representations of the Items by those who sold them to us -
often verbal representations because much of what we buy is person-to-person.
Item function and completeness is one issue, because like all of the big electronic
parts and equipment sellers (eg: Digi-Key, JameCo, Mouser, Allied Electronics,
Newark, Farnell, JDR Microdevices, etc.), we can't test every part we sell.
Item packaging is another issue. Many of the Items we obtain and sell are acquired
new in their original packaging and never used by us. Much of this packaging
is very old, and while the Item itself is still in new, pristine condition or
perhaps just a little dusty, its package may be on its last legs. As the result,
the Item's original packaging may be torn, opened or crumbly, and we may even
have to replace the original packaging with a new 4-mil thick transparent plastic
bag to adequately protect and preserve the Item. In some cases, we must remove
an Item from its original package to photograph it for our ads or to test it.
Therefore, an Item we bought in its original packaging and then sold, while
very likely will be shipped in its original undamaged and unopened packaging,
in some cases, the original packaging may be damaged, opened or even replaced,
for which we assume no liability. If the Item's original packaging is important
to you (eg: you are a collector), we require that you clearly state that in
an email to us about the Item prior to buying or bidding on it, in which case,
if possible, we will set aside that Item type with the best packaging for you,
else we will assume that original packaging or its condition is not important
to you.
NO OTHER WARRANTIES OR LIABILITIES TO US APPLY, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, EXCEPT THOSE EXPLICITLY STATED UNDER OUR POLICIES. ALL HARDWARE WARRANTIES ARE ALSO NULL AND VOID UNDER ANY OF THE CONDITIONS BELOW:
WARNING: Nothing in any device we sell or otherwise provide is to be repaired, modified, upgraded or disassembled by the Client. Handling or disassembly of the electronic components within these devices may result in exposure to lead primarily in the form of solder, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, and other reproductive harm. Note that Lone Star Consulting, Inc. never intentionally uses any paint, coating or other external chemical to the exterior of any device it sells or otherwise provides which contains lead, any other toxic heavy metal or any other chemical or substance known to be banned as harmful to people or animals.
WARNING:
AVOID APPEARING AS SUSPICIOUS TO US: We wish the very best for our Good
Clients, and do our very best we reasonably can to make our Good Clients happy
with their experience with us, and many of our Clients come back to us for their
other device needs. By policy, we do not do business with anyone (with or without
someone associated with him/her) we reasonably suspect intends to harm us. Virtually
all businesses have similar policies, and avoid doing business with people known
or even suspected of being harmful. It is common sense: If a likely dangerous
person shows up at your home, you do not open the door. There is never a personal
reason for us to balk at starting or doing a CD Project or shipping it until
we feel reasonably sure of our safety and security. But just like any other
business, if we believe we are likely under a safety or security threat, we
must take safety and security precautions without liability to us but which
can interfere with our goal to serve our Client as effectively and as fast as
possible. As with any other business, it is always best for the Client or prospective
Client to not come across as a suspicious person. Below are some major things
that make us feel suspicious of a Client or prospective Client from our decades
of experience:
(1) EMAIL DYSFUNCTION:
Over the decades, we have likely received 10,000s of emails. In 200 or so cases,
the emailer has complained he/she is unable to email-communicate with us, even
after we recommend for the person to try to get a friend, relative, associate,
library, business, etc. to help him/her email-communicate with us (Note: We
do not do texting because texts are easily faked). In more than half of those
cases, the emailer had no harmful intentions towards us. In the remainder cases,
the person was clearly trying to rip us off, put us out of business or extort
from us in some way. In about 75% of cases where someone was trying to rip us
off, put us out of business or extort from us, the person complained he/she
could not email-communicate with us to try to force us into verbal exchanges
with him/her, and then later lie about what was said and not said between us.
Note: Nothing we verbally say is to be regarded as a contractural agreement
by us - we only do written contracts. In cases where a person claims to have
email problems with us when we are receiving and sending other emails just fine,
and the person cannot or will not resolve his/her email problems and can't/won't
communicate with us thru USPS mail, making it impossible or very difficult for
us to send or receive written responses with him/her, makes us suspicious that
he/she, and/or some associate of him/her, is trying to harm us.
(2) INCOMPLETE
OR OTHERWISE UNACCEPTABLE CDAF: Another tactic that prospective Clients attempt
on us is to intentionally provide us an incomplete, contradictory, nebulous,
erroneous response, evasive or otherwise unacceptable CDAF, or apply for a CD
Project that we clearly cannot legally do or requires a license/permit that
we don't have (eg: physician, attorney, private investigator, etc.), or is not
reasonably possible, or is beyond our level of expertise (eg: we never do chemical,
biological or nuclear CD Projects; we may attempt supernatural, highly experimental,
or Client-provided design CD Projects, but we do not guarantee any results).
These types of CDAFs are both unacceptable to us and suspicious. For inability
to download, print out or complete the entire CDAF, we recommend for the person
to try to get a friend, relative, associate, library, business, etc. to help
him/her provide us a complete and accurate CDAF. Providing us a complete and
acceptable corrected CDAF removes this suspicion. If the prospective Client
wants us to provide a hardcopy CDAF webpage for them, then they need to send
us $19 ($US PMO or cash only) with a #10 or #12 stamped (for 3 oz) self-addressed
envelope.
(3) NON-THREADED
OR CHANGED/DELETED EMAILS: We receive many emails. To avoid confusions, misunderstandings,
errors and delays, we insist that emailers who repeatedly email us do not send
us stand-alone emails, but to make attached unchanged previous email exchanges
(ie: email threading). Stand-alone emails make us suspicious that the emailer
is trying to cause us problems to harass us by wasting our time and/or cause
us to make errors that he/she can then exploit. If the threaded email contains
more than about 10M of text, we will snip off the oldest email exchanges. Another
problem is with emailers who use threading but who delete all or part of some
previous email exchanges or changes their texts. We are not liable for any confusion,
misunderstanding, errors or delays caused by such non-threaded or defective
emails. And we may cut-off communications with emailers who send us non-threaded
or defective emails.
(4) REPEATEDLY
ASKING US TO RECOMMEND DEVICES OR OTHER THINGS: By policy, we never recommend
for or against any company, person, device or service because we describe our
devices in detail and the potential Client knows his/her situation better than
we can know (Note: Asking us limited specific questions in writing on any devices
of interest to you, is OK and expected). We can state which of our devices are
most popular with Clients and potential Clients reporting to us similar situations.
When a potential Client continually asks us directly or implied for recommendations
- even after we have informed him/her that we never give recommendations - we
are suspicious of being set us up for an entrapment or extortion ploy.
(5) MULTIPLE, CONFUSING,
ERRONEOUS, ILLEGIBLE, AND/OR INCOMPLETE ADDRESSES, AND SUDDEN SHIPPING ADDRESS
CHANGES: Almost all of our Clients give us a single correct shipping address.
However, a few will try to cause or confuse us so they can later accuse us of
making a shipping mistake to claim that they didn't get our package, when in
many cases, they got our package. We assume no liability for any address error
we make when the Client does not provide us one, and only one, clear, complete
and correct current shipping address.
(6) MULTIPLE OR
FAKE NAMES AND/OR ADDRESSES: Fake names are OK if, and only if, they are not
used as part of some intention or plan to harm us or anyone else. Even if a
fake name is used, the CDAF and all of our policies relevant to our relationship
fully apply to the individual who signs the CDAF, who is the Client. The Client
fully agrees that in any complaint, if any, relevant to the device, service,
transaction or relationship we provided him/her, he/she is the one and only
person who has legal standing in all complaints, if any, and that his/her legal
standing is not assignable or transferable to anyone else. Most of our devices
we provide are mind control attack countermeasures and transmitter location
devices, so we know that many targeted individuals (TIs) are leery of using
their real identities or usual address for fear of their perps finding out what
effects the perps' tactics have on the them and how they are dealing with the
attacks (Note: Unlike virtually all other companies, we very strictly enforce
the confidentiality of our Good Clients). We are not interested in any Client's
real identity or real address unless the Client complains about us or tries
to harm us in any way. However, fake IDs are suspicious if we believe that the
person is trying get us to do something illegal, is a want-to-be competitor,
intends to harm us, or does anything else suspicious. Using multiple IDs and/or
addresses is always suspicious to us.
(7) WON'T HELP
US ADDRESS A SAFETY OR SECURITY PROBLEM WE BELIEVE IS RELEVANT TO CLIENT OR
PROSPECTIVE CLIENT: Once in awhile, a safety or security problem occurs here.
If we believe that it relates to a certain Client or prospective Client, we
will likely question that person. If we can't get a straight, timely, complete
and accurate response from the person, we consider that to be suspicious.
