Alternative Dispute Resolution
BINDING ARBITRATION
You may resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy between you and Rivian
arising out of, or related to, your Commercial New Vehicle Limited Warranty by
binding arbitration on an individual basis as the sole means to resolve claims
as and to the extent provided in the Applicable Law and Class Action Waiver
section of your Final Agreement to Purchase and reproduced in this Warranty
Guide.
Please note, however, that regardless of where you reside or where your
vehicle is registered, your vehicle was purchased in a state where Rivian is
licensed to sell new motor vehicles and the laws of the state where the
vehicle was purchased may govern in certain situations.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION – ARBITRATION, CLASS WAIVER
Any claim or dispute you may have related to your Commercial New Vehicle
Limited Warranty or the duties contemplated under the warranty (among other
disputes) will be arbitrated pursuant to the terms of the Final Agreement to
Purchase. Under that agreement, you agreed to resolve disputes with Rivian by
binding arbitration, rather than litigation in court. Please reference your
Final Agreement to Purchase for full details. You may proceed, after
undertaking reasonable and good faith efforts to settle the dispute directly,
to binding arbitration or small claims court under the Final Agreement to
Purchase.
16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION—ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Binding Arbitration. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
and except for small claims or if you choose to opt-out as provided below, you
and Rivian agree to resolve any claims, demands, disagreements, or disputes
between us whether based in contract, tort, statute or otherwise arising from
or related to this Agreement, or our relationship, including advertising and
other communications between you and Rivian, Rivian products or services, and
as applicable, your credit application, or the purchase or condition of the
Vehicle (a “Dispute”) by binding arbitration conducted by the American
Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA Consumer
Arbitration Rules, unless you and we agree otherwise. For more information on
arbitration and to access the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, please visit:
www.adr.org.
If the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules conflict with this Agreement, then this
Agreement shall control. You and we understand that we are both waiving our
rights to go to court (other than small claims court, as provided below), to
present our claims to a jury and to have claims resolved by a jury trial, and
also that judicial appeal rights, if any, are more limited in arbitration than
they would be in court.
Confidentiality. Unless otherwise prohibited by federal or state law or
regulation, any arbitration, and any award issued in an arbitration, shall be
kept confidential, except to the extent necessary to seek court intervention
(such as to enforce an award).
Initial Dispute Resolution Requirement. Most disputes can be resolved without
resort to arbitration or small claims court. For any Dispute, you and we agree
that before taking any formal action to initiate arbitration or a small claims
suit we will contact the other in an attempt to resolve the Dispute. You will
contact us at demands@rivian.com and provide a
brief, written description of the Dispute and your contact information
(including your Rivian ID, if you have one). We will contact you at your
contact information on file with Rivian. You and Rivian agree to use
reasonable efforts to settle any Dispute directly and good faith negotiations
shall be a pre-condition to either party initiating a small claims suit or
arbitration.
Class Action Waiver. The parties further agree that the arbitration shall
be conducted in each party’s respective individual capacity only and not as a
class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive
their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND
RIVIAN AGREE
THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS
INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, NEITHER YOU NOR RIVIAN WILL BE ENTITLED TO JOIN OR
CONSOLIDATE CLAIMS BY OR AGAINST OTHER CONSUMERS IN COURT OR IN ARBITRATION OR
OTHERWISE PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLAIM AS A CLASS REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS MEMBER OR
IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY.
If a court or arbitrator finds this Class Action Waiver provision to be
unenforceable as to a particular class or representative action, then this
entire Section 16, Dispute
Resolution – Arbitration and Class Action Waiver shall be null and void as to
that class or representative action, and the action may only be brought in
court rather than in arbitration.
Small Claims Court. Subject to the Initial Dispute Resolution
Requirement, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court
consistent with the jurisdictional limits that apply to that forum.
Opt-Out Right. You may opt-out of this Section 16, Dispute Resolution –
Arbitration and Class Action Waiver within 30 days from the date you
electronically sign this Agreement, by sending an email to
optout@rivian.com from the email associated with your
Rivian ID with “Opt-Out of Arbitration” in the subject line and, in the body
of the email, your full name and address. You agree that any request will not
apply to subsequent agreements between you and Rivian unless the other
agreement provides an option to
opt out and you follow the requirements outlined in that other agreement.
Severability. Except as provided in the Class Action Waiver Section
above, if any competent legal authority determines any part of this Section
16, Dispute Resolution – Arbitration and Class Action Waiver is illegal or
unenforceable, then such part will be eliminated and the remainder of Section
16, Dispute
Resolution — Arbitration and Class Action Waiver will remain in force and
effect and the unenforceable part shall be deemed to be modified solely to the
extent necessary to make it enforceable.
Survival. This Section 16, Dispute Resolution —- Arbitration and Class
Action Waiver shall survive the end of this Agreement and/or your relationship
with Rivian, including the end of any promotion or contest, opt-out of
communication or other use or participation in any Rivian Product or Service.

discretion.

range. The decision to repair, replace, or provide remanufactured parts, along
with the condition of the replacement part, is at the sole discretion of
Rivian.

damages are reasonably foreseeable. Rivian is not responsible for any fees or
costs incurred in connection with litigating any such claim. Some
jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of indirect, direct,

limited warranties are also available.

in which the covered part is installed, shall be brought to any authorized
service entity to obtain service under this warranty. The service entity will

sale or installation. The decision to repair or replace the part is made
solely by Rivian.
The part replaced under the terms of this warranty shall become the property
of Rivian.
LIMITATIONS FOR SERVICE PARTS SOLD OVER THE COUNTER
When a part that is sold over the counter is already removed from the
vehicle and returned to the authorized service center as defective with the
original sales receipt, if Rivian finds a defect in materials or workmanship,
Rivian will cover either:
- The cost of repairing the part, or
- The cost of an equivalent new or remanufactured replacement Original Part.
The labor required to remove and reinstall the part, in this situation, is not
reimbursable to the customer.
For consumer-installed parts, the warranty start date is the invoice date of
the parts sale. The original invoice to prove the parts warranty start date
must be provided in the event of a subsequent failure.
Original parts that are replaced under the Service Parts Limited Warranty
receive the remainder of the original 12-month coverage, should subsequent
failures occur.
Exchange Parts
Warranty repairs may be resolved by using exchanged parts with the intent to reduce the amount of time you are without your vehicle. New, reconditioned, remanufactured, or repaired parts may be used in this exchange service. In any case, all exchanged parts will have the same limited warranty as service parts and meet Rivian standards. The decision whether to repair, replace, or provide remanufactured parts, along with the condition of the replacement parts, is reserved for Rivian at the sole discretion of Rivian.
Production Changes
Rivian may make changes to new vehicle design and update warranty coverage for
new vehicles at any time.
Production changes or upgrades to new vehicles do not obligate Rivian to
update vehicles already built with component parts of a different type or
design, so long as the vehicle functions properly with the repair, adjustment,
or installation of replacement parts under the warranty.
This Warranty Guide will be updated with a new effective date, shown on the
title page, if any warranty terms have changed. The new warranty terms will
only apply to vehicles sold after that date.
Nothing in this warranty should be construed as requiring defective parts to
be replaced with parts of a different type or design than the original part,
so long as the vehicle functions properly with the replacement part.
Modifications and Waivers
Only an authorized Rivian representative can modify this Commercial New
Vehicle Limited Warranty Guide (the “Warranty Guide”). Rivian may cover more
service and repair costs than are necessary as detailed in the Warranty Guide.
In some cases, Rivian choosing to offer to pay for services and repairs beyond
the limited warranty are known as “adjustment programs.” In the event Rivian
initiates an adjustment program, Rivian will attempt to contact owners of
registered affected vehicles. Owners may contact Rivian to determine if their
vehicle is covered in a broader adjustment program. The choice to use
adjustment programs does not affect Rivian’’s right to pay for repair and
services beyond warranty requirements on a case-by-case basis.
Rivian reserves the right to perform additional services, make changes to
Rivian vehicles, and pay for service and repairs beyond those covered in the
Warranty Guide without incurring any obligation on Rivian to perform similar
actions on other vehicles. This Warranty Guide does not imply any Rivian
vehicle is expected to contain defects or is completely free from defect.
Defects may be unintentionally introduced into vehicles during the design and
manufacturing processes. Such defects could result in the need for repairs.
For this reason, Rivian provides the Commercial New Vehicle Limited Warranty
to remedy any such manufacturing defects that result in vehicle component part
malfunction or failure during the warranty period.
