Welcome to Gear & Rig (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “GearAndRig.com”). These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of this website. By using the site, you agree to these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. Informational purposes only
Gear & Rig is an independent editorial website. Our RV equipment buying guides, product comparisons, reviews, maintenance articles, troubleshooting explanations, and other content are provided for general informational and educational purposes.
We are not an RV repair business, engineering firm, product certification body, dealer, or manufacturer. Our content is not a substitute for the current instructions supplied with your equipment, a professional inspection, or advice from a qualified technician or other appropriately licensed professional.
2. RV safety, installation, and compatibility
RV and trailer equipment can involve serious safety risks. Electrical systems, shore power connections, batteries, generators, towing and hitch components, brakes, tires, propane systems, jacks, and other load-bearing or safety-related equipment must be selected, installed, maintained, and used correctly.
A product discussed or recommended on this website is not necessarily compatible with your particular RV, trailer, tow vehicle, wiring, plumbing, or existing equipment. Similar-looking connectors, nominal ratings, or model names do not establish compatibility.
Before buying, installing, modifying, or using equipment, you should:
- Check the latest manufacturer manuals, installation instructions, labels, and compatibility requirements for the exact models involved.
- Verify applicable vehicle, trailer, component, hitch, tire, and electrical ratings rather than relying on a single advertised capacity.
- Follow applicable laws, codes, and safety requirements, and use qualified professionals for work that requires specialized skills, licensing, or inspection.
- Stop using equipment if you discover an unsafe condition and seek appropriate professional assistance.
Our articles do not authorize you to bypass safety devices, exceed rated limits, or disregard manufacturer requirements. Gear & Rig does not provide emergency mechanical, electrical, towing, or propane assistance.
3. Accuracy of information
We make reasonable efforts to research specifications, features, model differences, and compatibility information. However, manufacturers may revise products and manuals, change specifications, discontinue models, or alter included accessories without notice. Information from retailers and third-party sources may also be incomplete or incorrect.
We do not guarantee that every article, specification, compatibility statement, link, or recommendation is complete, current, or error-free. Verify critical details directly with the manufacturer or an appropriate professional before making a safety-sensitive decision.
4. Product recommendations and editorial research
Our recommendations reflect editorial assessments based on available manufacturer information, documentation, retailer listings, owner feedback, specialist discussions, and other relevant sources. We evaluate products in the context of particular RV and trailer applications, not as universal choices for every setup.
We do not claim to have personally tested, installed, or used a product unless we expressly identify firsthand experience and what it involved. A favorable recommendation is not a guarantee of fit, performance, reliability, safety, or satisfaction.
For more information about our process, see How We Pick Gear.
5. Affiliate relationships and third-party purchases
Gear & Rig contains affiliate links, including links to Amazon and potentially other retailers. If you make a qualifying purchase through an affiliate link, we may earn a commission. You are not charged an additional affiliate fee for using our link. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.
Purchases made through third-party websites are transactions between you and the applicable seller, not Gear & Rig. We do not process those payments or control order fulfillment, shipping, taxes, refunds, returns, product warranties, or customer service. Please direct order-related questions to the retailer or manufacturer.
6. Prices, availability, and product details
Product prices, promotions, availability, configurations, and included accessories may change at any time. References on Gear & Rig are informational and are not binding offers or guarantees of current retailer terms.
Always confirm the exact product model, price, availability, seller, shipping costs, and purchase terms on the retailer’s website before ordering.
7. Intellectual property and permitted use
Unless otherwise noted, original text, editorial comparisons, graphics, and other materials created for Gear & Rig are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may access the site for lawful personal and informational use.
You may share links to our articles and quote short excerpts with appropriate attribution. You may not republish, systematically copy, or commercially redistribute substantial portions of our original content without permission, except where allowed by applicable law, including applicable quotation and fair-use rights.
Product names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Mentioning a brand or showing a product does not by itself imply sponsorship, approval, or affiliation.
8. External websites and links
Our content may link to manufacturers, retailers, owner communities, and other independent websites. We do not operate or control these sites and cannot guarantee their accuracy, availability, security, products, or privacy practices. Your use of third-party services is subject to their own terms and policies.
9. Website use
You agree not to use Gear & Rig for unlawful purposes, attempt unauthorized access to the website or its systems, interfere with its operation, or use automated methods in ways that disrupt the service or unlawfully reproduce protected content.
10. Disclaimer of warranties
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access, freedom from technical errors, or that information will always be accurate, complete, or suitable for your circumstances.
Nothing in these Terms limits any rights or warranties that cannot legally be excluded.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Gear & Rig, its operator, and contributors are not responsible for losses or damages arising from reliance on general website information, interruptions or errors on the site, dealings with third-party retailers, or the selection, installation, modification, or use of products discussed here.
This limitation does not exclude or restrict liability where doing so would be unlawful. In particular, nothing in these Terms is intended to waive rights or remedies that applicable consumer protection or other laws make non-waivable.
12. Privacy and cookies
Our handling of personal information and website technologies is described in our Privacy Policy. Please review that policy for details about cookies, analytics, affiliate-related technologies, and available privacy choices.
13. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our website, editorial activities, or applicable requirements. The date at the top of this page indicates the latest revision. Updated Terms apply to use of the website after they are posted, subject to applicable law.
