Terms of Use

Please refer to our Privacy Policy for information on how REI collects, uses and shares information about you.

The Sites are not targeted towards, nor intended for use by, anyone under the age of 13. By using the Sites, you represent and warrant that you are 13 years of age or older. If you are not at least 13 years of age, do not access, use or register for an account on the Sites. In addition, you may not make a purchase from our Sites unless you are at least 18 years of age. You also represent and warrant that you (a) have not previously been suspended or removed from the Sites; (b) do not have more than one account per Site; and (c) that you have full power and authority to enter into this agreement and in doing so will not violate any other agreement to which you are a party.

In order to access and use certain areas or features of our Sites, you will need to register for an account. When registering for an account, you cannot create a screen name that incorporates a trademark without authorization from the trademark owner. We reserve the right to reclaim screen names on behalf of businesses or individuals that hold legal claim, including trademark rights, in those screen names.

In consideration of your use of the Sites, you agree to (a) provide accurate, current and complete information; (b) maintain and promptly update your account information; (c) maintain the security of your account credentials; (d) not share your account credentials with others; and (e) promptly notify REI if you discover or otherwise suspect any security breaches related to your account or the Sites.

Unless otherwise indicated on our Sites, the Sites and all content and materials therein, including but not limited to REI logos and all designs, text, graphics, pictures, information, data, software, sound files, other files and the selection and arrangement thereof (collectively, "Site Content") are the proprietary property of REI or our licensors, suppliers or users and are protected by U.S. and international copyright laws.

You are granted a limited, nonexclusive, non-sublicensable license to access and use the Sites and Site Content for your own personal, non-commercial use. Such license is subject to your compliance with these Terms and does not include the right to engage in: (a) any resale or commercial use of the Sites or Site Content; (b) the collection and use of any product listings, pictures or descriptions; (c) the distribution, public performance or public display of any Site Content; (d) modifying or otherwise making any derivative uses of the Sites and the Site Content, or any portion thereof; (e) use of any data mining, robots or similar data gathering or extraction methods; (f) downloading (other than page caching) of any portion of the Sites, the Site Content or any information contained therein, except as expressly permitted on the Sites or pursuant to separate terms; or (g) any use of the Sites or the Site Content other than for their intended purposes. Any use of the Sites or the Site Content outside the scope of the license granted herein, without the prior written permission of REI, is strictly prohibited and will result in automatic termination of the license granted herein. Such prohibited use in violation of the license granted may also violate applicable laws, including but not limited to copyright and trademark laws and applicable communications regulations and statutes. Unless explicitly stated herein, nothing in these Terms shall be construed as conferring any license to intellectual property rights, whether by estoppel, implication or otherwise. This license is revocable at any time at REI's sole discretion.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and other applicable laws, REI has adopted a policy of limiting access by, or terminating the online accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the intellectual property rights of others.

If you believe that anything on the Sites infringes upon a copyright that you own or control, you may notify our designated agent as follows:

Please see Title 17, Chatper 5, Section 512(c)(3) of Copyright Law of the United States for the requirements of a proper notification. You should also note that if you make any material misrepresentation in your notification that the material or activity is infringing, you will be liable for all damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by us or the alleged infringer as the result of our relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing.

We may give notice of a claim of copyright infringement to our users by means of a general notice on the Sites, electronic mail to a user's email address in our records or by written communication sent by first-class mail to a user's address in our records.

"REI," the REI Co-op logo and other REI product or service names, logos or slogans that may appear on the Sites are trademarks or registered trademarks of REI and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without the prior written permission of REI or the applicable trademark holder. You may not use any metatags or any other "hidden text" utilizing "REI" or any other name, trademark or product or service name of REI without our prior written permission. In addition, the look and feel of the Sites, including all page headers, custom graphics, button icons and scripts, is the service mark, trademark and/or trade dress of REI and may not be copied, imitated or used, in whole or in part, without our prior written permission. All other trademarks, registered trademarks, product names and company names or logos mentioned on the Sites are the property of their respective owners. Reference to any products, services, processes or other information, by name, trademark, manufacturer, supplier or otherwise does not constitute or imply endorsement, sponsorship or recommendation by REI.

If you believe that anything on the Sites infringes upon any trademarks which you own or control, you may file a notification of such infringement with our designated agent as set forth in Section 4 of Part One of these Terms. A proper notification should contain the same elements required for copyright complaints. For more information, please see Title 17, Chatper 5, Section 512(c)(3) of Copyright Law of the United States.

One or more patents apply to the Sites and to the features and services accessible via the Sites, including without limitation: U.S. Patent Nos. 5,528,490; 5,761,649; 6,029,142; 6,330,592 and all corresponding foreign counterparts.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive right to create a text hyperlink to the Sites for noncommercial purposes, provided such link does not portray REI or any of our products and services in a false, misleading, derogatory or otherwise defamatory manner and provided further that the linking site does not contain any adult or illegal material or any material that is offensive, harassing or otherwise objectionable. This limited right may be revoked at any time. You may not use an REI logo or other proprietary graphic of REI to link to the Sites without the express written permission of REI. Further, you may not use, frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any REI trademark, logo or other proprietary information, including the images found at the Sites, the content of any text or the layout/design of any page or form contained on a page on the Sites without REI's express written consent.

REI makes no claim or representation regarding the quality, content, nature or reliability of third-party websites accessible by hyperlink from the Sites, or websites linking to the Sites. Such sites are not under the control of REI and REI provides these links to you only as a convenience. The inclusion of any link does not imply affiliation, endorsement or adoption by REI of any site or any information contained therein. When you leave our Sites, you should be aware that our terms and policies no longer govern. You should review the applicable terms and policies, including privacy and data gathering practices, of any site to which you navigate from the Sites.

The Sites may include discussion forums, blogs, profiles, product reviews or other interactive features or areas (collectively, "Interactive Areas"), in which you or other users can create, post, upload, transmit, distribute or store content, such as comments, reviews, photos, videos, text, music, sound, , graphics, code or other materials on the Sites (collectively, "User Content"). User Content may be publicly-viewable along with profile information associated with your online account, but it does not include your REI.com account information or information you submit in order to make a purchase. You agree that you are solely responsible for your User Content and for your use of such Interactive Areas, and that you use the Interactive Areas at your own risk.

By using any Interactive Areas, you agree not to create, post, upload, transmit, distribute, or store any of the following:

• User Content that is fake, unlawful, libelous, defamatory, obscene, pornographic, indecent, lewd, suggestive, harassing, threatening, abusive, inflammatory, fraudulent or otherwise objectionable;
• User Content that would constitute, encourage or provide instructions for a criminal offense, violate the rights of any party or that would otherwise create liability or violate any local, state, national or international law;
• User Content that promotes or encourages the use of trails that are not legally open (except for seasonally closed trails) or trespassing;
• User Content that displays, describes or encourages usage of any product we sell in a manner that could be offensive, inappropriate or harmful to REI or any user or consumer or that is contrary to any instructions or warnings relating to the product (safety concerns can be reported at 1-800-426-4840 or 253-891-2500);
• User Content that may impinge upon or violate the publicity, privacy or data protection rights of others, including pictures, videos, images or information about another individual where you have not obtained such individual's consent;
• User Content that makes false or misleading statements, claims or depictions about a person, company, product or service;
• User Content that does not clearly and prominently disclose any material connections you may have to REI or third party brands or sellers (for example, if you receive free products or services or are a paid blogger or employee);
• User Content that may infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other intellectual or proprietary right of any party;
• User Content that impersonates any person or entity or otherwise misrepresents your affiliation with a person or entity;
• User Content that contains viruses, malware of any kind, corrupted data or other harmful, disruptive or destructive files or code; and
• User Content that, in the sole judgment of REI, restricts or inhibits any other person from using or enjoying the Sites or which may expose REI or our users to any harm or liability of any type.

REI encourages our users to report User Content that violates these Terms (either by using a flagging or reporting mechanism provided within the Sites or, for content that infringes copyright or trademark rights, by following the instructions in Sections 4 and 5 of Part One of these Terms). Enforcement of the Terms, however, is solely in our discretion and the absence of enforcement of these Terms in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce the Terms in other instances. In addition, these Terms do not create any private right of action on the part of any third party or any reasonable expectation or promise that the Sites will not contain any content that is prohibited by such Terms. Although REI has no obligation to screen, edit or monitor any of the User Content posted on the Sites, REI reserves the right, and has absolute discretion, to remove, screen or edit any User Content posted or stored on the Sites at any time and for any reason without notice, and you are solely responsible for creating backup copies and replacing any User Content you post or store on the Sites at your sole cost and expense.

Any use of the Sites in violation of these Terms may result in, among other things, termination or suspension of your rights to use the Interactive Areas and/or the Sites.

Except as otherwise provided in these Terms, on the Sites or in a separate agreement with us (such as the rules of an REI contest or an REI content submission agreement), REI claims no ownership or control over any User Content. However, by submitting or posting User Content on the Sites, you grant REI a nonexclusive, royalty-free, world-wide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, publicly perform and display such User Content on the Sites and on third-party sites and mobile applications and in all other media or formats, whether currently known or hereafter developed, for any purpose and without any compensation to you. Also, if you submit, post or share User Content through the Sites or third-party platforms, you understand that this User Content will be viewable by others.

By posting User Content to the Sites, you represent and warrant that (a) such User Content is non-confidential; (b) you own and control all of the rights, title and interest in and to the User Content or you otherwise have all necessary rights to post and use such User Content to the Sites and to grant the rights to REI that you grant in these Terms; (c) the User Content is accurate and not misleading or harmful in any manner; and (d) the User Content, and your use and posting thereof in connection with the Sites, do not and will not violate these Terms, or any other applicable REI terms, guidelines or policies or any applicable law, rule or regulation.

We may provide specific opportunities for you to tell REI and other REI members or users what you think about our products or services. You are solely responsible for the reviews you submit and understand that you may not be able to delete this content after it has been published. You also assume all risks associated with your reviews, including anyone's reliance on the quality, accuracy or reliability of such reviews, and the disclosure of your personal information in connection with such content. If you submit reviews, you agree to state your opinions lawfully, honestly and in good faith and to reveal to others any conflict of interest or relationship that might influence your views (e.g., if someone is paying or giving you something for free to encourage you to comment, you agree to make appropriate disclosures). All reviews are strictly the opinion of the user posting such reviews, and REI does not endorse or approve any such reviews or have any responsibility or liability for the accuracy, appropriateness or content of such reviews. Finally, we may use a third party to "power" or provide the opportunity to provide reviews. In that case, you will also need to review such third party's terms of service and privacy policy, to determine whether they are acceptable to you. If they are not, do not provide reviews to us using the third party's service or technology.

Separate and apart from User Content, you have the ability to submit questions, comments suggestions, reviews, ideas, plans, designs, notes, proposals, drawings, original or creative materials and other information regarding the Sites, REI and our products or services (collectively "Feedback"). You agree that Feedback is non-confidential and shall become the sole property of REI. REI shall own exclusive rights, including all intellectual property rights, in and to such Feedback and shall be entitled to the unrestricted use and dissemination of the Feedback for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to you. Do not send us Feedback if you expect to be paid or want to continue to own or claim rights in them; your idea might be great, but we may have already had the same or a similar idea and we do not want disputes.

You agree that you will not violate any law, contract, intellectual property or other third party right or commit a tort and that you are solely responsible for your conduct while accessing or using the Sites. You also agree to abide by any rules or policies governing your use of our Sites and that you will not:

• Use the Sites other than for their intended purposes, in any unlawful manner or in any manner that could interfere with, disrupt, negatively affect, or inhibit other users from fully enjoying the Sites;
• Send unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, solicitations, promotional materials, spam, junk mail, chain letters and pyramid schemes, or harvest or collect email addresses or other contact information of other users from the Sites for the purposes of sending spam;
• Use any robot, spider, crawler, scraper or other automated means or interface not provided by us to access the Sites or to extract data;
• Reverse engineer any aspect of the Sites or do anything that might discover source code or bypass or circumvent measures employed to prevent or limit access to any area, content or code of the Sites (except as otherwise expressly permitted by law);
• Solicit personal information from anyone under 18 or solicit passwords or personally identifying information for commercial or unlawful purposes;
• Use or attempt to use another's account without authorization from REI;
• Attempt to circumvent any content filtering techniques we employ or access any service or area of the Sites that you are not authorized to access;
• Engage in any harassing, intimidating, predatory or stalking conduct;
• Develop or use any third-party applications that interact with User Content or our Sites without our prior written consent;
• Use the Sites in a manner that could interfere with or damage, disable, overburden or impair the operation of the Sites or introduce to the Sites or our users any viruses, malware, corrupted data or other harmful, disruptive or destructive files or code; or
• "Frame" our Sites or otherwise make it look like you have a relationship with us or that we have endorsed you for any purpose.

REI has no obligation to monitor any user conduct on the Sites, but REI reserves the right and has absolute discretion to monitor any user conduct on the Sites at any time and for any reason without notice. REI does not approve or endorse any user-posted meetings or events referenced on the Sites and REI recommends exercising caution before contacting or meeting anyone (online or offline) that is unfamiliar to you.

These Terms are for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, the parties only. These Terms are not intended to confer any right or benefit on any third party or to create any obligations or liability of a party to any such third party.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless REI and our respective officers, directors, agents, partners, members, employees, independent contractors, service providers and consultants (together with REI, the "REI Parties"), from and against any claims, damages, costs, liabilities and expenses (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or related to (a) your access to and use or misuse of the Sites; (b) any User Content you create, post, upload, use, distribute, store or otherwise transmit on or through the Sites; (c) any Feedback you provide; (d) your violation of these Terms; and (e) your violation, misappropriation or infringement of any rights of another. You agree to promptly notify the REI Parties of any third party Claims, cooperate with the REI Parties in defending such Claims and pay all fees, costs and expenses associated with defending such Claims (including but not limited to attorneys' fees). You further agree that the REI Parties shall have control of the defense or settlement of any third party Claims.

Except as expressly provided, the Sites, Site Content and services provided on or in connection with the Sites (collectively, "Complete Site") are provided on an "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS" basis without representations, warranties or conditions of any kind, either express or implied. REI DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS AND DUTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES, DUTIES OR CONDITIONS: (A) OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, RESULTS, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT; AND (B) CREATED BY TRADE USAGE, COURSE OF DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE. REI does not represent or warrant that the Complete Site is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. REI does not represent or warrant that the Sites or our servers are free of viruses or other harmful components.

The Site Content, including, but not limited to, REI and third-party photos, videos, articles, information and other content is general in nature and must be used with an appreciation for the differing capabilities among individual users, weather and other varying conditions, and the differing demands placed on equipment or techniques by the wide variety of circumstances that can be encountered in outdoor recreation. The information is not a substitute for in-person guidance by a qualified instructor or for personal experience gained in the company of knowledgeable and experienced outdoor recreationalists. You acknowledge that you could be seriously injured or die when engaging in activities presented on the Sites and that you should receive professional instruction when appropriate. You assume all risks associated with engaging in any activities or using any equipment presented on the Sites.

You may have the ability to exchange information with other users of the Sites and arrange to meet each other offline. You understand that REI does not conduct background checks of users or otherwise vouch for the safety of such offline meetings, and such meetings are held at your sole risk. You are advised to be careful not to accidentally divulge personal information about yourself, such as your name, phone number or address. We encourage you to take precautions when interacting with other users, particularly when meeting a stranger in person for the first time.

Our trail condition reporting feature is not an emergency service; if you are facing an emergency or witness an emergency, contact law enforcement or emergency services.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE REI PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF DATA, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED TO THE ACCESS OR USE OF THE SITES, YOUR ONLINE OR OFFLINE INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER SITE USERS, YOUR PARTICIPATION IN ACTIVITIES, EVENTS, OUTINGS OR EXPERIENCES THAT ARE NOT OFFICIALLY ORGANIZED AND HOSTED BY REI OR OTHERWISE RELATED TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY DAMAGES THAT RESULT FROM EVENTS BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL, SUCH AS INTERRUPTIONS TO ALL OR PORTIONS OF THE SITES, DELETION OF FILES OR EMAIL, ERRORS OR OMISSIONS, DEFECTS, VIRUSES, DELAYS IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION OR FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, WHETHER OR NOT RESULTING FROM ACTS OF GOD, COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE, THEFT, DESTRUCTION OR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO AN REI PARTY'S RECORDS, PROGRAMS OR SERVICES.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE REI PARTIES (JOINTLY), WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED), OR OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE COMPLETE SITE EXCEED THE GREATER OF USD $50.00 OR ANY COMPENSATION YOU PAY, IF ANY, TO REI FOR ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE COMPLETE SITE. THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 16 WILL NOT LIMIT OR EXCLUDE THE REI PARTIES' LIABILITY FOR GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, INTENTIONAL, WILLFUL, MALICIOUS OR RECKLESS MISCONDUCT.

REI reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Sites or any features or portions thereof without prior notice.

THESE TERMS AND YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SITES WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE ENTIRELY PERFORMED WITHIN THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, WITHOUT RESORT TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS. YOU AGREE THAT ANY ACTION AT LAW OR IN EQUITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS SHALL BE FILED ONLY IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON AND YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY CONSENT AND SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS.

You may terminate the Terms at any time by closing your account, discontinuing your use of the Sites and providing REI with a notice of termination. REI reserves the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate your right to use the Sites, or any portion of the Sites, and to block or prevent your future access to and use of the Sites or any portion of the Sites.

If any term, clause, or provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that term, clause, or provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining terms, clauses, or provisions.

All prices are shown in U.S. dollars (except where otherwise noted on certain REI adventure travel trips); taxes, shipping and handling charges are additional. All items are subject to availability and we reserve the right to impose quantity limits on any order, to reject all or part of an order and to discontinue products or services without notice, even if you have already placed your order. Purchases for the purpose of resale are not permitted. All prices are subject to change without notice and you agree that taxes may be adjusted from the amount shown on the billing screens. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates. Additionally, many products displayed on our Sites are also available in REI retail stores while supplies last, but you should not assume that what you see on the Sites can always be seen in our stores. Prices displayed on the Sites may vary from those in the store or from store-advertised prices.

We attempt to be as accurate as possible and to eliminate errors on the Sites; however, we do not warrant that any product, service, description, photograph, pricing or other information is accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. In the event of an error—whether on the Sites, in an order confirmation, in processing an order, in delivering a product or service or otherwise—we reserve the right to correct such error and to revise your order accordingly if necessary (including charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged. Your sole remedy in the event of such error is to cancel your order and obtain a refund.

If the color or size you want is not listed in the "Choose Your Color/Size" drop-down box on the Product Information page, it is not then available for ordering. Please check back later. If the color or size you want has an asterisk next to it in the drop-down box, it is on backorder. Sometimes we will not know in advance that product is unavailable, so when you place items in your Shopping Cart you will be asked if you would like to backorder them. If you indicate yes, the item will be sent to you once it becomes available. Some items may be backordered or unavailable even if the Sites indicate that they are in-stock, and adding an item to your cart does not guarantee the availability of that item. We will not charge your payment card until the item ships to the designated delivery address. If you choose to pick up an item at an REI store, you will be charged at the time you pick up the order. If the backordered item is no longer available, we will cancel the item from your order and notify you, usually via e-mail. If you have items on backorder that you would like to cancel, please contact us.

You agree that all of your transactions with or through the Sites may, at our option, be conducted electronically from start to finish, and that any oral conversations may be recorded. If we decide to proceed non-electronically, those transactions will still be governed by the remainder of these Terms unless you enter into different terms provided by us. You are responsible to print or make an electronic copy of these Terms and any other contract or disclosure that we are required to provide to you.

When we ship to you or per your directions, you agree to pay the shipping and any handling charges shown on the Sites when your order is placed. We reserve the right to increase, decrease, add or eliminate charges from time to time and without prior notice, so you agree to check all charges before placing an order or signing up for a service. When you ask us to ship to an REI store for pick-up, shipping is free (however, some exclusions may apply, and we reserve the right to add shipping and handling charges once we post them on the Sites). Generally, shipping is by standard ground delivery. Any shipping or handling charges may or may not reflect actual costs. All orders are shipment contracts, not destination contracts, including orders shipped to an REI store for pick-up. Any shipping times shown on the Sites are estimates only – actual delivery dates may vary. You agree that you will not obtain or direct shipment of product for export.

Only valid credit cards or other payment method acceptable to us may be used and all refunds will be credited to the same card or, in our discretion, other payment method. By submitting your order, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use the designated card or payment method and you authorize us to charge your order (including taxes, shipping, handling and any other amounts described on the Sites) to that card or other payment method. If the card (or other payment method) cannot be verified, is invalid, or is not otherwise acceptable, your order may be suspended or cancelled automatically. Regarding "Your Account," you agree to keep all payment cards or other payment method information current, and you agree that we may submit charges for processing even if the card (or other method) has expired or changed by the time we submit it. You must resolve any problem we encounter in order to proceed with your order.

REI has a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on all new products we sell on our Sites and on all used products we sell on our Re/Supply used gear site, except as listed on our return policy exceptions list. See our full returns policy.

Whether you made your purchase through the Sites, at any REI store, on the phone or via mail order, you may return or exchange new product purchases (including REI Outlet) at any of our retail locations or return them by mail as provided in the 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Return online used gear purchases (purchased through our Re/Supply used gear site) by mail as provided in the Used Gear FAQ. Return eligibility is subject to any contrary terms imposed on your purchase (e.g., some of our "close out" items say "no return" or the like) and further subject to following the instructions on the Sites. Find general returns information and instructions.

Returns may make you ineligible for promotions, and we reserve the right to require identification, proof of purchase or additional verifiable information to help REI locate the purchase in our records. If a gift certificate or card, voucher, coupon, or payment mechanism other than a credit or debit card was used to pay the original price, or if the purchase was part of a special offer that is not in effect when the return is made, we may give you a merchandise credit. After we have received your valid return, we will provide one of the following within a reasonable time: an exchange of merchandise for the item returned, a non-transferable merchandise credit, a non-transferable gift certificate or gift card, a credit to the payment card used to pay for the product, a check, or another remedy that we determine in good faith is appropriate in the circumstances. If you do not comply with any of the above conditions, we reserve the right to refuse the return or exchange, or to impose different or additional conditions, including (without limitation) basing our response on the current sales price.

If you believe a product sold by REI has a condition or defect that might make it unsafe, please report this safety concern immediately by calling 1-800-426-4840 or 253-891-2500.

All complaints and legal notices should be mailed to REI, Attn: Legal Department, 1700 45th Street E, Sumner, WA 98352. If a law requires us to accept legal notices via email, call 253-395-3780 to ask for the address intended for receipt of such notices. If you are a California resident, the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the Department of Consumer Affairs may be contacted at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834 or 1-800-952-5210.

REI warrants that new REI-branded products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship at the time of sale. This warranty does not cover damage or malfunctions caused by normal wear and tear, accident, abuse, neglect, improper storage or handling, misuse, vandalism, acts of God, or other causes external to the product.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may have other rights, which vary from State to State.

ALL USED GEAR PRODUCTS, WHETHER REI-BRANDED OR NOT, ARE SOLD AS-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS. REI makes no other express warranties, and this warranty supersedes any prior representations and understandings regarding the products, including any warranty arising from course of dealing, course of performance or usage of trade. Manufacturers of non-REI-branded products may provide other warranties, and you agree that your remedy for any defects in such products will be based solely on the warranty(s), if any, provided by those manufacturers. Products eligible for warranty return may be returned or service fees may be refunded in accordance with REI Return Instructions. REI does not provide a warranty for any products that are not REI-branded. REI MAKES NO IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY ON NON-REI-BRANDED PRODUCTS.

Your sole and exclusive remedy, and REI's sole and exclusive liability, for any breach of warranty by REI shall be your right to return the product or receive a refund, as provided in REI Return Instructions.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE REI PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR LOSS OF BUSINESS, EVEN IF THEY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, NOR SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE REI PARTIES (JOINTLY), WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED), OR OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE PURCHASE OR USE OF ANY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PURCHASED THROUGH THE SITES EXCEED THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT OR SERVICE.

THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10 WILL NOT LIMIT OR EXCLUDE THE REI PARTIES' LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE CAUSED BY PRODUCTS YOU PURCHASE THROUGH THE SITES, OR FOR THE REI PARTIES' GROSS NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, INTENTIONAL, WILLFUL, MALICIOUS OR RECKLESS MISCONDUCT.

Some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

Additional terms and conditions may apply to specific features, products or services, such as our in-store Re/Supply offering (formerly called Garage Sales) or our Re/Supply used gear site—both just for REI Co-op Members. To the extent any additional terms conflict with these Terms, the additional terms govern with respect to your access to or use of the applicable feature, product or service.
