Returns/refunds of courses and Silvercore Club memberships

All orders placed with Silvercore Advanced Training Systems Inc. are non-refundable, which means all sales are final.

Silvercore reserves the right to assess exigent situations on the basis of their merit and maintains sole discretion over the resolution of such cases. Any cancellations or course transfers are subject to the Transfer or Cancellation Policy mentioned in section 4 and section 5 respectively.

Silvercore Gun Club Memberships are a recurring subscription that is automatically renewed at the end of your billing period (ie. every 1 year, 2 years, etc.). The auto-renewal will be for the same billing frequency as the previous one chosen (unless a change to the billing frequency is requested) and is billed using the card on file from your last membership transaction. Auto-renewal helps to ensure that your membership and insurance stay valid and that you maintain continued compliance with the RCMP Canadian Firearms Program policy club membership requirements. The auto-renewal feature can be toggled on and off at any time by logging into your account.

Due to Silvercore Club insurance and member benefits, we are unable to refund memberships for any reason after the time of purchase. Silvercore Club memberships meet Canadian legal issuance requirements for ATT’s as well as restricted PAL’s. Silvercore is not responsible for individual firearms officers denying an applicant an ATT or RPAL.
