  1. Rentals

The following additional conditions apply to the rental of any Product.

RENTAL FEE. The rental fee (“Rental Fee”) for the Product will be the total of the rental fee, damage waiver fee and delivery charges listed on the Site for your rental of the Product. When you place your rental order for a Product, you hereby authorize Slope Threads to charge your payment card for the Rental Fee. ST will charge your payment card the amount of the Rental Fee immediately upon your rental order. A reservation of a Product on the Site is an order for the rental of that Product, regardless of how far in advance that Product is reserved. In addition, at the time of your rental order for a Product, you hereby authorize ST to charge your payment card for an amount equal to 100% of the original retail value of the Product (when new) set forth on the Site or App (“Retail Value”) plus applicable sales taxes; provided that ST will only charge your payment card for an amount greater than the Rental Fee as described below. Rental Fees exclude all federal, state and local taxes, GST, fees, customs, duties, levies and other governmental assessments, all of which shall be paid by you directly or, if paid by ST, shall be paid by you to ST in connection with your rental order.


CANCELLATION POLICY. You may cancel your rental order subject to the following cancellation fees and policies:

  1. If you cancel thirty (30) or more days in advance of the delivery date, there is no cancellation fee and you will receive a full refund issued to the payment card you used for the order.
  2. If you cancel less than thirty (30) days but more than fourteen (14) days in advance of the delivery date, you will not receive any refund, but you will receive a full credit to your ST account for the Rental Fee associated with the cancelled order. This credit can be applied to any future ST rental.
  • If you cancel fourteen (14) or fewer days in advance of the delivery date, you will receive a credit to your ST account for the Rental Fee associated with the cancelled order, minus a cancellation fee of $9.95. 

RETURN PACKAGING. With delivery of the Product, ST will provide you with a pre-paid, pre-addressed ST box or mailing envelope (as the case may be) as well as instructions for your use in returning the Products to ST (“Return Packaging”). 

RECEIPT OF THE PRODUCTS. Upon delivery, you bear responsibility for the Product(s). If however, you opt to have the Products delivered in Denver, CO by courier service, you agree to bear responsibility for receipt of Products shipped to the location specified at time of check out. You acknowledge that a Secure Shipping Address is highly recommended. This means a location where an individual can physically receive Product(s). In the event that an un-secure shipping address is provided, ST does not bear liability for Products left unattended. Furthermore, you acknowledge that providing anything other than a Secure Shipping Address may result in delivery delays and additional delivery fees for which ST will not be liable. You will be liable for all such delays and additional delivery fees 

USE OF THE PRODUCTS. You agree to treat the Products with great care, as if it was borrowed from your close friend. You are responsible for loss, destruction or damage to the Products due to theft, mysterious disappearance, fire, major stains or any other cause, other than normal wear and tear. Normal wear and tear encompasses minor stains, rips, stuck zippers or other minor damage covered by the “damage waiver fee” you paid for with your rental of the applicable Product. If you return a Product that is damaged beyond normal wear and tear, then you agree that we shall charge you, and you shall pay, for the price for repairing or replacing the Product, as determined in our discretion, up to the Retail Value for the Product. 

RETURN OF THE PRODUCTS; EXTENSIONS. You agree to return the Products to ST in the Return Packaging on or before the return date for the Products that are identified in the online invoice for your order. You may extend your order for a Product on the Site or by phone to ST; provided that any extensions are subject to other orders for that Product and to pre-payment of the additional Rental Fee applicable to that Product for the period of time of the extension. You must return the Product by delivering the Product in the Return Packaging to a FedEx store located in the United States by 12 p.m. on or before the date that the Product is due. We are not responsible for any personal or other items left in the Products or which are returned to ST in the Return Packaging. If you believe you have accidentally or otherwise sent us any such items, please contact customer service as soon as possible at help@slopethreads.com. Our staff may assist in attempting to locate such items at a customer’s request, but are not obligated to and assume no liability for doing so.

LATE FEES. If you return the Products late or not at all, a late fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) will be charged to the payment card you used to pay the Rental Fee or to any other payment card included in your account information that you have provided to ST for every day that you are late returning the Products, and you agree to pay such late fees, up to an amount not to exceed 100% of the Retail Value plus applicable sales tax (plus the Rental Fee). The late fee is payable for each order of Products that is not returned when due, not for each Product that is the subject of the order that is late. If you have not returned a Product within twenty (20) days after the return date for the Product, your late return will be considered a non-return and ST will charge your payment card the maximum late fee set forth in this Section 2(B), less any late fees that you have already paid, plus applicable sales tax. 

PAYMENT OF 100% RENTAL VALUE ST will not charge you for more than an amount equal to 100% of the Retail Value plus the Rental Fee, in the aggregate, for any charges arising under this Section 2(B), excluding collection costs. If you pay ST an amount equal to 100% of the Retail Value under this Section 2(B) and you still possess the Product, the Product is yours to keep, though on an “AS IS” basis without warranty of any kind. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations of this clause shall not apply to the Rental Fee, which is charged separately from, and in addition to, any other charges payable by you pursuant to this Section 2(B).

LOST RETURN PACKAGING. If you lose the Return Packaging, you will be responsible for returning the item at your own expense by the expected return date, and providing ST with a tracking number.

 LIMITED WARRANTIES. The following are the limited warranties ST provides in connection with Product rentals. ST’s liability to you for failure to comply with any of these warranties is limited to timely delivery of Product conforming to the warranties or a refund of the Rental Fee (excluding damage waiver and delivery charges) as determined by ST. See Section 7(A) below.

  • CORRECT PRODUCTS.Subject to availability, we will deliver the Products you ordered, including the specified size, color and design, on or before the delivery date for which you ordered them, except in the rare event that the Product is damaged beyond repair or there is an occurrence subsequent to the placing of the order that prevents timely delivery. In such event, we will use reasonable efforts to notify you that the Product is unavailable. If we are able to reach you, you will be entitled to choose any available rental Product to replace the unavailable Product. If we are unable to reach you, you acknowledge and agree that we may send you a replacement product of the same or greater value.

All disputes between you and ST will be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights under this contract, except for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a neutral arbitrator, NOT a judge or jury.

For claims exceeding $5,000.00, the arbitration shall be conducted under JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures Subject to the applicable JAMS procedure, the arbitrator shall allow reasonable discovery in the forms permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, to the extent consistent with the purpose of the arbitration. The arbitrator(s) shall have no power or authority to amend or disregard any provision of this section or any other provision of these Terms of Service, except as necessary to comply with JAMS’ Policy on Consumer Arbitrations Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness. The arbitration hearing shall be commenced promptly and conducted expeditiously.

(f) Litigation. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this Agreement. Either party also may, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim or provisional relief that is necessary to protect the rights or property of that party, pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal (or pending the arbitral tribunal's determination of the merits of the controversy).

You further agree that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award class-wide relief or to combine or aggregate similar claims or unrelated transactions.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial.
