Ordering, Shipping, and Returns
Orders
All orders placed through the Website are subject to our acceptance. We cannot guarantee that all items listed as “in stock” will ship right away, as inventory changes significantly from day-to-day. In rare cases, an item may be in stock when you place an order but is sold out by the time we attempt to process the order. We will notify you if this happens and cancel the item from your order, or we will notify you if a shipment may be made at a later date.
International Shipments
We currently do not ship outside of the U.S. Please check back in the future, to see if our policies have changed.
Returns and Exchanges

When we confirm the item was damaged before you received it, you will be sent a return label together with the replacement item.
Undamaged Items: If you wish to exchange an undamaged item, the product must be returned. A return label will be mailed to you and you must return the item within 30 days of receiving the return label.

Warranty Disclaimer
THE SITE IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. YOU USE THE SITE AT YOUR OWN SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SITE WILL PROVIDE CONTINUOUS, PROMPT, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE SERVICE.
Limitation of Liability and Damages
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ROGUE, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SERVICES PROVIDERS AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER BASED ON UPON CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT, WARRANTY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY.
IN NO EVENT WILL ROGUE’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE WEBSITE OR MATERIALS EXCEED THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR ANY PRODUCTS ORDERED THROUGH THE WEBSITE.
The exclusions and limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between Rogue and you. 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.
Indemnity
You agree to defend and indemnify Rogue, its affiliates, licensors and service providers, and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Use or your use of the Website.
Disputes
These Terms of Use and any related disputes will be interpreted under and be governed by the laws of the state of Oregon, without reference to its conflicts of law principles. You and Rogue both consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the state of Oregon, USA, in connection with all actions arising out of or in connection with these Terms of Use, and each waives any objections that venue is an inconvenient forum.
Arbitration Agreement and Class Action Waiver
Subject to the exceptions described below, all disputes arising out of or related to these Terms of Use or any aspect of your relationship with Rogue, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a single arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. Arbitration procedures are simpler and more limited than rules applicable in court.
Arbitration is mandatory for the claims covered under this arbitration agreement. You agree that Rogue and you are each waiving the right to trial by a jury, and that any arbitration will take place on an individual basis. You hereby waive the ability to participate in a class action. The parties agree that the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this arbitration agreement.
You and Rogue each retain the right to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court and (ii) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement or misappropriation of a party’s trade secrets or intellectual property rights.
You will also have the right to litigate any other dispute that would otherwise be subject to this arbitration agreement if you opt out of the arbitration agreement by sending an email to legal@rogue.com or a letter to Rogue Ales, Attention: Legal, 2320 OSU Drive, Newport, OR 97365 within 30 days after the date you first agree to these Terms of Use. If you don’t provide Rogue with a timely opt-out notice, this arbitration agreement applies.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (currently available at adr.org/Rules or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the arbitrator will determine the location. If you demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Rogue will contribute to your filing and hearing fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of this Agreement (including the Limitation of Liability provision) and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of this Agreement, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction.
