License and Access to Patagonia Electronic Platforms

Patagonia grants you a limited license to access and make personal use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms and not to download (other than browser-required page caching) or modify the Patagonia Electronic Platforms, or any portion of them, except with express written consent of Patagonia. Accordingly, you expressly acknowledge and agree that Patagonia transfers no ownership or intellectual property interest or title in and to the Patagonia Electronic Platforms (or any part thereof) to you or anyone else. You may print and download materials and information from the Patagonia Electronic Platforms solely for your personal use, provided that all hard copies contain all copyright and other applicable notices contained in such materials and information. But, this license does not include any resale or commercial use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms or their contents; any collection and use of any product listings, descriptions, or prices; any derivative use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms or their contents; any downloading or copying of account information for the benefit of another merchant; or any use of data mining, robots, spiders or similar data gathering and extraction tools.

The content layout, formatting, and features of and access privileges for the Patagonia Electronic Platforms shall be as specified by Patagonia in its sole discretion.

Notwithstanding the license grant herein, neither the Patagonia Electronic Platforms nor any portion thereof may be reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, resold, visited, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without the express written consent of Patagonia.

In addition, you may not use metatags or any other hidden text using Patagonia’s name or trademarks without the express written consent of Patagonia. Any unauthorized use terminates the permission or license granted by Patagonia.

You are granted a limited, revocable, and nonexclusive right to create a hyperlink (utilizing only the plain characters for Patagonia’s domain address) to any page of Patagonia so long as the link does not portray Patagonia or its products or services in a false, misleading, derogatory, or otherwise offensive manner. You may not use any Patagonia logo or other proprietary graphic or trademark as part of the link without express written permission.

Other Terms and Conditions

Additional notices, terms, and conditions may apply to the purchase, return, or delivery of products. You agree to abide by such other notices, terms, and conditions, as applicable. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and other notices, terms, and conditions posted to the Patagonia Electronic Platforms, Patagonia shall resolve any conflict in good faith in its sole discretion, but the latter terms shall generally control with respect to your use or purchase of that product.

Links to Third Party Web Sites

The Patagonia Electronic Platforms may contain hyperlinks (“links”) to Web sites operated by persons or entities other than Patagonia (“third-party Web Sites”). We provide such links for your reference and convenience only. A link from Patagonia to a third-party Web site does not imply or mean that we endorse the content on that third-party Web site or the operator or operations of that Web site. You are solely responsible for determining the extent to which you use any content at any third-party Web Sites to which you might link from the Patagonia Electronic Platforms. PATAGONIA IS ALSO NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGES INCURRED AS A RESULT OF ANY DEALINGS WITH ANY THIRD-PARTY WEB SITE, ANY MERCHANT OR OPERATOR OF A THIRD-PARTY WEB SITE, OR ANY OTHER PERSON WITH WHOM YOU ENGAGE IN ANY TRANSACTION.

Feedback and Submissions

Patagonia welcomes your feedback and suggestions about Patagonia's programs or services or with respect to how to improve the Patagonia Electronic Platforms. By transmitting any such suggestions, information, material, or other content (collectively, “feedback”) to Patagonia, you represent and warrant that such feedback does not infringe or violate the intellectual property or proprietary rights of any third party (including, without limitation, patents, copyrights, or trademark rights) and that you have all rights necessary to convey to Patagonia and enable Patagonia to use such feedback. In addition, any feedback received through the Patagonia Electronic Platforms will be deemed to include a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable, non-exclusive right and license for Patagonia to adopt, publish, reproduce, disseminate, transmit, distribute, copy, use, create derivative works, and display (in whole or in part) worldwide, or act on such feedback without additional approval or consideration, in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed for the full term of any rights that may exist in such content, and you hereby waive any claim to the contrary.

Mobile Services

The Patagonia Electronic Platforms may offer certain tools, handheld offerings, or services that are available to you via your mobile phone or other mobile device (collectively, “Mobile Services”). Please note that your mobile carrier’s normal messaging, data, and other rates and fees will apply to your use of the Mobile Services. In addition, downloading, installing, or using certain Mobile Services may be prohibited or restricted by your mobile carrier, and not all Mobile Services may work with all carriers or devices. Therefore, you are responsible for checking with your mobile carrier to determine if the Mobile Services are available for your mobile devices, what restrictions, if any, may be applicable to your use of the Mobile Services, and how much they will cost you. Nevertheless, all use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms shall be in accordance with this Agreement.

Postings & Reviews

The Patagonia Electronic Platforms may contain blogs, message boards, comment areas, questionnaires, review areas, and other interactive features and functionality where users can share and post information. To the extent that the Patagonia Electronic Platforms contain such communication forums (collectively, “Forums”), you agree that by using the Patagonia Electronic Platforms you will not upload, post, display, or transmit any of the following materials on the Patagonia Electronic Platforms’ Forums:

Anything that interferes with or disrupts the Patagonia Electronic Platforms or the operation thereof,

Anything that violates the privacy or publicity rights of any other person, including, without limitation, posting any personal identifying information of another individual,
Chain letters or pyramid schemes,

Statements or material that are “off-topic” for a designated Forum, and
Files that contain malicious code, viruses, corrupted files, or any other similar software or programs that may damage the operation of another’s computer, network, or the Patagonia Electronic Platforms.

Forums are the resources and property of Patagonia and/or its licensors, and you will not have any proprietary interest in any Forum. Moreover, by submitting content or information of any type (a "Posting") to a Forum or other portion of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms or by otherwise using the Patagonia Electronic Platforms to transmit or display a Posting, you automatically grant Patagonia a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, transmit, perform, and display such content or information (in whole or in part) worldwide and/or to incorporate into other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed for the full term of any rights that may exist in such content or information. You represent that you have all necessary rights to make the Posting available to Patagonia and a Forum, and you also acknowledge that such Postings are non-confidential for all purposes and that Patagonia has no control over the extent to which any idea or information may be used by any party or person once it is posted or displayed. Accordingly, notwithstanding this right and license, it is understood that by merely permitting your information, content, and materials to appear on the Patagonia Electronic Platforms Patagonia has not become and is not a publisher of such information, content, and materials and is merely functioning as an intermediary to enable you to provide and display a Posting. Moreover, Patagonia assumes no responsibility for the deletion of or failure to store any Posting and recommends that you do not post, display, or transmit any confidential or sensitive information.

Patagonia is not responsible for screening, policing, editing, or monitoring your or another user’s Postings and encourages all of its users to use reasonable discretion and caution in evaluating or reviewing any Posting. Moreover, and except as provided below with respect to Patagonia's right and ability to delete or remove a Posting (or any part thereof), Patagonia does not endorse, oppose, or edit any opinion or information provided by you or another user and does not make any representation with respect to, nor does it endorse the accuracy, acceptability, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of any advice, opinion, statement, or other material displayed, uploaded, or distributed by you or any other user. Nevertheless, Patagonia reserves the right to monitor, delete, or take other action with respect to Postings (or parts thereof) that Patagonia believes in good faith violate this Agreement and/or are, or are potentially, unlawful or harmful to Patagonia or its affiliates, volunteers, services, or goodwill. If you violate this Agreement, Patagonia may, in its sole discretion, delete the unacceptable content from your Posting, remove or delete the Posting in its entirety, issue you a warning, and/or terminate your use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms.

Your Responsibilities

You agree to comply with all applicable law in connection with your use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms, and such further limitations as may be set forth in any written or on-screen notice from Patagonia (provided in connection with your use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms). As a further condition of your use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms, you warrant that you will not use the Patagonia Electronic Platforms for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by this Agreement. You access the Patagonia Electronic Platforms on your own volition and are responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws with respect to your access and use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms. All information that you provide in response to a request or in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with the Patagonia Electronic Platforms will be accurate, complete, and current. You will pay all charges incurred by users of your credit card, debit card, or other payment method used in connection with a purchase or transaction or other monetary transaction interaction with Patagonia at the prices in effect when such charges are incurred. You will pay any applicable taxes, if any, relating to any such purchases, transactions or other monetary transaction interactions.

Registration as a user for access to certain areas of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms or in connection with recurring visits or purchasing may require both a user name and a password or adherence to other particular access requirements as designated by Patagonia. Only one user can use one user name and password and, thus, one account. By limiting access, it helps avoid unauthorized usage by other persons, institutions, or entities because anyone with knowledge of both your user name and password can gain entry to the restricted portions of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms and to your account. Accordingly, by using the Patagonia Electronic Platforms, you agree to consider your user name and password as confidential information and to keep your user name and password confidential. You will immediately notify Patagonia if you become aware of any loss or theft of your password or any unauthorized use of your user name and password. Patagonia will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with these obligations. Patagonia reserves the right to delete or change a user name or password at any time and for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall convey to you any further rights in your account or its information and any and all such content or information shall be subject to this Agreement.

By using the Patagonia Electronic Platforms, you agree not to violate or attempt to violate the security of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms, including, without limitation, actions such as:

Accessing data not intended for you or logging into a server or account that you are not authorized to access;
Attempting to probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without proper authorization;
Attempting to interfere with service to any user, host, or network, including, without limitation, by way of submitting a virus to or overloading, “flooding,” “spamming,” “mailbombing,” or “crashing” the Patagonia Electronic Platforms;
Sending unsolicited e-mail, including promotions and/or advertising of products or services; and
Forging any TCP/IP packet header or any part of the header information in any e-mail or Posting.
Actual or attempted unauthorized use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms may result in criminal and/or civil prosecution, including, without limitation, punishment under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 under U.S. federal law. Patagonia reserves the right to view, monitor, and record activity on the Patagonia Electronic Platforms without notice or permission from you, including, without limitation, by archiving notices or communications sent by you through the Patagonia Electronic Platforms. Any information obtained by monitoring, reviewing, or recording is subject to review by law enforcement organizations in connection with investigation or prosecution of possible criminal or unlawful activity on the Patagonia Electronic Platforms as well as to disclosures required by or under applicable law or related government agency actions. Patagonia will also comply with all court orders or subpoenas involving requests for such information. In addition to the foregoing, Patagonia reserves the right to, at any time and without notice, modify, suspend, terminate, or interrupt operation of or access to the Patagonia Electronic Platforms, or any portion of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms in order to protect the Patagonia Electronic Platforms, Patagonia, or Patagonia's business or goodwill.

Risk of Loss

All products purchased from the Patagonia Electronic Platforms are transported and delivered to you by an independent carrier not affiliated with, or controlled by, Patagonia. Title to products purchased on the Patagonia Electronic Platforms, as well as the risk of loss for such products, passes to you when Patagonia delivers these items to the carrier.

You also acknowledge and agree that use of the Internet and access to the Patagonia Electronic Platforms is solely at your own risk. While Patagonia has endeavored to create a secure and reliable environment(s), you should understand that the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to/from the Patagonia Electronic Platforms over the Internet or other form of global communication network is outside Patagonia’s control and cannot be guaranteed. Accordingly, Patagonia is not responsible for the security of any information transmitted to or from the Patagonia Electronic Platforms.

Product Information

Patagonia attempts to be as accurate as possible in describing its products. However, Patagonia does not warrant or guarantee that product descriptions or other content of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms are accurate, complete, reliable, current, or error-free. Most Patagonia products displayed on the Patagonia Electronic Platforms are available in select retail stores in the United States and select foreign markets while supplies last. In some cases, merchandise displayed for sale via the Patagonia Electronic Platforms may not be available in retail stores. Unless otherwise stated, the prices displayed at the Patagonia Electronic Platforms are quoted in U.S. Dollars.

Colors

Patagonia has made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors of the products that appear on the Patagonia Electronic Platforms. As the actual colors you see depend on your computer monitor or mobile device, however, we cannot guarantee and do not warrant that your monitor’s or device’s display of any color will be accurate.

The Patagonia Product Guarantee

Patagonia offers a guarantee on every product it makes and sells to you. Following a sale or gift event, if you are not satisfied with one of Patagonia’s products at the time you receive it, or if one of Patagonia’s products does not perform to your satisfaction, you may return the product to the store from which you bought it or to Patagonia for repair, replacement, or refund in accordance with Patagonia’s warranty policy. Damage due to wear and tear will be repaired at a reasonable charge.

THE PATAGONIA ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS ARE PROVIDED BY PATAGONIA ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PATAGONIA MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE OPERATION OF THE PATAGONIA ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS OR THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, THIRD-PARTY CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS, SERVICES OR LINKED SERVICES PROVIDED ON OR THROUGH THE PATAGONIA ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THAT THE INFORMATION PROVIDED THROUGH THE PATAGONIA ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS WILL BE FREE FROM ERROR, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DEFECT, OR DELAY IN OPERATION, OR FROM TECHNICAL INACCURACIES OR TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS; THAT THE PATAGONIA ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS WILL BE AVAILABLE AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME OR LOCATION; THAT DEFECTS OR ERRORS IN THE PATAGONIA ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS WILL BE CORRECTED; OR THAT THE CONTENT ON THE PATAGONIA ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS IS FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. ANY INFORMATION ON THE PATAGONIA ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE, AND PATAGONIA DISCLAIMS ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE CHANGES. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE PATAGONIA ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, PATAGONIA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

IN NO EVENT WILL PATAGONIA, OR ANY PARTY INVOLVED IN CREATING, PRODUCING, OR DELIVERING THE PATAGONIA ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM THE USE OF THE PATAGONIA ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY TYPE OR NATURE ARISING OUT OF YOUR ACCESS, USE, MISUSE, OR INABILITY TO USE THE PATAGONIA ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS OR ANY LINKED SITES OR SERVICES; IN THE EVENT A THIRD PARTY INTERCEPTS OR DECRYPTS ANY TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION THAT YOU PROVIDE TO PATAGONIA THROUGH THE PATAGONIA ELECTRONIC PLATFORMS; IN CONNECTION WITH ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, ERROR, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DEFECT, DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, COMPUTER VIRUS, OR LINE OR SYSTEM FAILURE; OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM A CAUSE BEYOND PATAGONIA’S CONTROL WHETHER IN AN ACTION UNDER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF PATAGONIA HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. CERTAIN STATES OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DICLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

Applicable Law and Disputes

This Agreement, your rights and obligations, Patagonia’s rights and obligations, and all actions contemplated by this Agreement will be governed by the laws of the United States of America and the State of California, without regard to principles of conflicts of law and as if this Agreement were a contract wholly entered into and wholly performed within the State of California. This Agreement will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Further, you also acknowledge and agree that any applicable state law implementation of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (including any available remedies or laws) shall not apply to this Agreement and is hereby disclaimed.

Any dispute relating in any way to your visit to Patagonia or to products you purchase through Patagonia shall be submitted to confidential arbitration in Ventura, California, United States of America, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Patagonia’s intellectual property rights, Patagonia may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any state or federal court in the State of California, United States of America, and you consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in such courts. Arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted under the rules then prevailing of JAMS/ENDISPUTE Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures in effect at the time of filing of the demand for arbitration. The parties specifically incorporate the terms of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1283.05 with respect to discovery. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no arbitration under this Agreement shall be joined to an arbitration involving any other party subject to this Agreement, whether through class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.

Injunctive Relief

You acknowledge that any breach, threatened or actual, of this Agreement, including, without limitation, with respect to unauthorized use of Patagonia proprietary assets, will cause irreparable injury to Patagonia, such injury would not be quantifiable in monetary damages, and Patagonia would not have an adequate remedy at law. You therefore agree that Patagonia shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to seek and be awarded an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any breach, threatened or actual, of your obligations under any provision of this Agreement. Accordingly, you hereby waive any requirement that Patagonia post any bond or other security in the event any injunctive or equitable relief is sought by or awarded to Patagonia to enforce any provision of this Agreement.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Patagonia and its affiliates, successors and assigns, and its directors, officers, employees, agents, co-branders or other partners from and against any and all allegations, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, proceedings (whether threatened or pending), orders, damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, and judgments of any kind or nature, incurred by Patagonia arising out of or relating to your use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms and your violation of this Agreement or relating to any payment dispute with a third-party provider arising from a purchase or incurrence of fees made by you.

Term and Termination

This Agreement will take effect at the moment you click “ACCEPT”, register, respond to a request for information, and/or begin downloading, accessing, or using the Patagonia Electronic Platforms, whichever is earliest. Patagonia reserves the right at any time and on reasonable grounds, which shall include, without limitation, any reasonable belief of fraudulent or unlawful activity or actions or omissions that violate any term or condition of this Agreement, to deny your access to the Patagonia Electronic Platforms or to any portion thereof in order to protect its name and goodwill, its business, and/or other users, and this Agreement will also terminate automatically if you fail to comply with its terms and conditions, subject to the survival rights of certain provisions identified below. Termination will be effective without notice. You may also terminate this Agreement at any time by ceasing to use the Patagonia Electronic Platforms, but all applicable provisions of this Agreement will survive termination, as identified below, and each re-access or use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms will reapply this Agreement (then in effect) to you. Upon termination, you must destroy all copies of any aspect of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms in your possession. The provisions concerning Patagonia's proprietary rights, feedback and submissions, indemnity, disclaimers of warranty and liability, waiver and severability, miscellaneous legal terms, and governing law will survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Miscellaneous Legal Provisions

We may discontinue the Patagonia Electronic Platforms at any time and for any reason, without notice. We may change the contents, operation, or any and all other features of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms at any time for any reason, without notice. We may discontinue or restrict your use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms at any time for any reason, without notice.

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Patagonia as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms. Nothing contained in this Agreement is in derogation of Patagonia’s right to comply with governmental, court, and law enforcement requests or requirements relating to your use of the Patagonia Electronic Platforms or information provided to or gathered by Patagonia with respect to such use. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.

The failure of Patagonia to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or respond to a breach by you or other parties shall not in any way waive its right to enforce subsequently any terms or conditions of this Agreement or to act with respect to similar breaches.

If any provision in this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the invalid unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision.

This Agreement is the entire and final Agreement regarding the Patagonia Electronic Platforms and their content, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous communications between Patagonia and you regarding the Patagonia Electronic Platforms and their contents.

All rights not expressly granted herein are hereby reserved.
