MERCHANDISE AVAILABILITY

Inventory Online:

We add new merchandise to buckle.com daily. In order to offer a wide variety of new styles and brands, we are not able to guarantee inventory if you leave the website without purchasing your selection. While shopping, you will notice that only the available sizes and colors will display. However, putting the merchandise into your shopping bag does not guarantee inventory. The merchandise will be reserved to you only after you check out. If an item is not available after you have placed an order, you will be notified via email.

Inventory Online vs. In-Store:

Currently we offer most of our store merchandise on buckle.com. Occasionally, we offer styles and sizes on buckle.com that are not available in Buckle stores. In other cases, due to vendor policies, we are unable to offer select brands online that you may find in our retail locations.

Hard-to-Find Merchandise:

If the product that you are searching for is not listed on buckle.com, it is possible that it has not yet arrived or has already sold out. Not all items are restocked when they sell out. If the item(s) you're searching for is not available online, please contact Guest Services to find out if it is available for special order through a Buckle store near you. Contact Guest Services at guest.services@buckle.com or call 800.607.9788.

Backorders:

Although we intend to only show available product online, occasionally popular styles may become out of stock due to high demand. This may result in cancelled items on your order. If a backorder occurs on your buckle.com order and a second shipment is required, you will not be charged for ground shipping on your second order.

Pricing:

All prices on buckle.com are listed in U.S. dollars. Prices are consistent with the retail prices within Buckle store locations. Despite our best efforts, items on buckle.com may be priced incorrectly. However, we verify prices as part of our shipping process. In the unlikely case that an item is mispriced, Buckle will honor the price as advertised in Buckle retail stores. Please note that your order confirmation email does not mean that your order has been shipped, or that the price of an item has been confirmed. The order confirmation email reports estimated tax.

Colors:

We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors of our products that appear on the website. However, as the actual colors you see will depend on your monitor, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any color will be accurate.

USER GENERATED CONTENT

The Services may permit you to voluntarily submit comments, text, photographs, videos or other material ("User-Generated Content"). User-Generated Content submissions may be accessed and viewed by others, including by the general public, and Buckle does not agree to any confidentiality with respect to any User-Generated Content. By submitting User-Generated Content, you grant to Buckle an unrestricted, nonexclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide, transferable and irrevocable license and right, but not the obligation, to use, edit, alter, copy, reproduce, disclose, display, publish, remove, prepare derivative works from, distribute, exhibit, broadcast or otherwise exploit such content in whole or in part, in any form, media or technology for any purpose including, advertising, promotion, entertainment or commercial purpose without any payment to or further authorization from you. Buckle may require your affirmative consent to use your User-Generated Content, such as replying to our Instagram post with #agree. You affirm, represent, and warrant to Buckle that: (i) your User-Generated Content is original; (ii) you own all right, title and interest and have the sole and exclusive right to license all of the rights therein to Buckle; (iii) use of your User-Generated Content on the Services or otherwise by Buckle, in whole or in part, will not infringe upon the rights of any third party, including without limitation, any intellectual property or privacy rights; and (iv) you have obtained written permission from any other person named, photographed or otherwise depicted in your User-Generated Content.

If your carrier does not permit text messages, you may not receive the Text Messages. Neither Buckle nor the wireless carriers will be liable for any delays in the receipt of, or failure to deliver, any Text Messages, as delivery is subject to effective transmission from your network operator. Text Message services are provided on an "AS IS" basis. Buckle's text messaging service is optional, and your consent is not a condition for purchase in store or on buckle.com.
