By visiting our site and/or purchasing products from Badger Fix, you engage in our "Service" and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions, including all additional policies referenced herein.

1. Governing Law

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by, interpreted, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Queensland (QLD), Australia, and the Commonwealth of Australia, without regard to conflict of law principles.

2. Technical Specifications & Brand Clarification

We endeavor to present accurate product descriptions, drive sizes, stainless grades, and pricing. Independent Trade Hardware Brand Notice: Badger Fix is an independent designer and retailer of mechanical fastening tools, impact driver bits, and stainless fasteners. Badger Fix is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Milwaukee, Makita, DeWalt, Wera, Wiha, Bremick, or Buildex. Any comparative references are made strictly for standard 1/4-inch hex shank compatibility, fastener gauge sizing, and consumer guidance. Badger Fix reserves the right to correct any inadvertent inaccuracies at any time without prior notice.

3. Eye Protection PPE Mandate, Hardwood Pre-Drilling & Stainless Galling Advisory

MANDATORY EYE PROTECTION & IMPACT TOOL SAFETY WARNING: Operating high-torque cordless impact drivers and drills generates high rotational forces that can snap hardened steel bits or eject metal/wood splinters if a bit slips off a fastener head. ALWAYS wear certified Australian Standards impact-resistant safety glasses (AS/NZS 1337.1) and disconnect power tool batteries before changing driver bits. Australian Hardwood Pre-Drilling & Stainless Steel Galling Notice: Stainless steel (304 and 316) is naturally softer and less torsionally rigid than hardened carbon steel. When driving 316 marine stainless steel screws into dense Australian hardwoods (such as Spotted Gum, Merbau, Blackbutt, or Ironbark), you MUST pre-drill pilot holes and countersink prior to driving, and use a controlled drill clutch setting rather than full-throttle impact hammering to prevent screw head shearing or thread galling. Never use standard chrome-plated hand sockets on pneumatic or high-torque impact wrenches. Badger Fix is not liable for eye injuries resulting from failure to wear PPE, sheared stainless screws caused by driving into un-drilled hardwoods, or shattered hand wrenches used on power impact tools.
