TenkaraBum.LLC does not accept any responsibility for any loss whatsoever which may arise from reliance on information contained on this site. That includes everything from loss of a fish to loss of your gear, your job, your marriage or your life. It's a slippery slope, and you have to watch your own footing. TenkaraBum LLC does not accept any responsibility whatsoever for any loss, damage, illness, injury or death that may be caused by using, abusing or misusing in any way any product sold, recommended or even mentioned in passing on this site.

Hooks, flies and other Dangerous Items

TenkaraBum LLC sells hooks. As the Daiichi 25-hook package states Caution: DANGEROUSLY SHARP! Fishhooks made by other companies also are DANGEROUSLY SHARP! Most of the flies that are available for sale on the site are not tied on Daiichi hooks. However, the hooks they are tied on are DANGEROUSLY SHARP!

Hooks have to be sharp to be effective. It is the very nature of a fishhook. Please be careful. Once the hooks and flies have been sold, TenkaraBum LLC has no control (and will accept no responsibility) over what you do with them. Please keep them out of the reach of unsupervised children and pets (and streamside trees). And by all means, if you are going to hook yourself or your fishing partner, please bend down the barbs beforehand. Bend down the barbs of all hooks that will be used by children or around children. Wear eye protection and make sure your children wear eye protection (and that is even more important for other people's children)!

ANYTHING can hurt you if you are not careful, and many things can hurt you even if you are careful. WARNING: everything is dangerous. I'm serious, everything. TenkaraBum LLC can't put a warning label on everything it sells, so be very, very careful.

And absolutely, positively, do not fish during a thunder storm. Lightning can kill you and the graphite tenkara rods sold by TenkaraBum LLC can attract it. If you hear thunder, even in the distance, collapse your rod and stop fishing. And if you EVER hear your rod buzz, not the high pitched whine you may hear when you have a nice fish on the line, but a low electric buzz, lower the rod IMMEDIATELY, collapse it and get out of the water.

Normal Use

The items sold by TenkaraBum LLC are designed for fishing. They are not suitable for any other use. TenkaraBum LLC is not and will not be responsible for loss or damage caused by abuse or misuse of any item sold, recommended or even mentioned on the TenkaraBum, TenBum and Finesse-Fishing sites or in emails sent from TenkaraBum.com or Finesse-Fishing.com.

Choking Hazard

A lot of the things that are sold by TenkaraBum LLC are of a size that could cause choking. Don't put them in your mouth and don't let your children put them in their mouths.

Bait

The fish bait sold by TenkaraBum LLC (including but not limited to Mummy Worms, Power Isome and Nikko Sashi) are for fish to eat, not people. Do not eat any of them, and by all means, do not let your children eat them.

The Mummy Worms look like candy and the Power Isome smell like fruit wraps. THEY AREN'T. If you use any of the bait sold by TenkaraBum LLC and if you have kids, or fish where there are kids, or even know any kids, watch them like a hawk and do not let them eat the bait!

Shipping and Porch Piracy

TenkaraBum LLC ships most items via the US Postal Service. Their service seems to be quicker and less expensive than the alternatives. However, TenkaraBum LLC does not run the post office. Once your package has been given to a postal carrier or dropped off at a Post Office, anything that happens to it is their responsibility. If your package arrives much faster than expected, they deserve the praise, not TenkaraBum LLC. If it arrives much slower than expected, or if it is damaged in transit, or if it is lost, stolen, bent, spindled or mutilated, it is their fault, not the fault of TenkaraBum LLC.

If you do not have a secure place for the postman to leave a package, please use the Contact Us form to request Signature on Delivery. Your front porch is not a secure place. TenkaraBum is not responsible for and will not replace packages stolen from your front porch. If the USPS tracking data show that the package was delivered, it was delivered. If it wasn't there when you got home, that's between you and the USPS. Call your local Post Office and check with your next door neighbors. That finds almost all missing packages. For orders under $50, there will be a $2.65 charge for Signature on Delivery.

USPS tracking is limited and is updated only when a package is scanned. No scan, no info, and no one at the post office can tell you (or TenkaraBum LLC) anything more than is on the tracking website.

TenkaraBum LLC ships items to the address that is listed on the purchase order. Please check to make sure the address is correct BEFORE PLACING YOUR ORDER or paying an invoice. If the address is not correct, you should not expect to receive the items you order (and you should not expect TenkaraBum LLC to send replacements).

Fly Tying Materials

You should assume that all fly tying materials that you buy, borrow, barter or acquire in any other way from any source whatsoever (including TenkaraBum LLC) are infested with bugs, mites, or other organisms that will damage or destroy all your other fly tying materials, most of your sweaters and your wife's fur coat if she has one. It is your responsibility to store them in a way that prevents anything bad from happening. You should also assume that dogs, cats and children will eat them if given a chance. Some materials are treated with pesticides and are not safe to eat. It is your responsibility to prevent them from being eaten.

Credit Card Purchases

TenkaraBum LLC accepts purchases made with credit cards. The payments are processed by Shopify or PayPal. TenkaraBum LLC reasonably believes that Shopify and PayPal offer secure payment processing. TenkaraBum LLC never sees any of your credit card information. Not the card number, not the expiration date, not the secret three or four digit number on the front or back of the card. The only information Shopify or PayPal shares with TenkaraBum LLC is what you bought, how much you paid and where to send it. If you wish TenkaraBum LLC to send an invoice, DO NOT send any credit card information via email. TenkaraBum LLC DOES NOT WANT OR NEED your credit card information. Wait for the invoice, which will allow you to pay securely via Shopify or PayPal.
