Disclaimers
The Simmons website is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. While we strive to maintain accurate and current information about our optics, we make no warranties or representations regarding the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or availability of the website or its content. Your use of the site is at your own risk.
Simmons does not warrant that the website will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free from harmful components. We work to ensure a smooth browsing experience, but technical issues may occasionally affect site performance. We recommend using up-to-date browsers and security software to protect your device when visiting any website, including simmonsshop.com.
The information provided on the website is intended for general informational purposes only. It should not be considered as professional advice for specific situations. Product specifications and features are provided to help you understand our optics, but actual performance may vary based on conditions, usage, and other factors. Simmons encourages all hunters and shooters to receive proper training and follow safety guidelines when using optical equipment.
Simmons disclaims all warranties, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. This includes implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. These disclaimers do not affect any warranties that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Simmons, its parent companies Bushnell Corporation and Vista Outdoor, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of or inability to use the website. This limitation applies regardless of the theory of liability, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or otherwise.
Simmons’ total liability for any claims arising from or related to the website is limited to the amount you paid, if anything, for access to the website. Since the Simmons website is provided free of charge for informational purposes, this amount is typically zero. This limitation is intended to be reasonable and fair given the informational nature of our site.
These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. In jurisdictions that do not allow certain limitations of liability, Simmons’ liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. We encourage you to understand your rights under local regulations regarding limitations of liability.
The limitations in this section are fundamental to the bargain between Simmons and visitors to the website. Without these limitations, the cost of providing the site would be significantly higher, which would conflict with our mission to make dependable optics information accessible to all.
Indemnity Where Legally Permitted
Where legally permitted, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Simmons, its parent companies Bushnell Corporation and Vista Outdoor, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to your use of the website or your violation of these terms. This indemnity obligation helps protect Simmons and its affiliated parties from the consequences of improper website use.
This indemnity does not apply to the extent that a claim arises from Simmons’ own negligence or willful misconduct. It also does not apply in jurisdictions where indemnity obligations of this nature are not legally enforceable. The indemnity is intended to be reasonable and proportionate to the potential risks associated with website use.
Simmons reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you. In such cases, you agree to cooperate with Simmons in the defense of any claim. This cooperation may include providing relevant information and attending legal proceedings as needed.
Suspension and Termination
Simmons reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the website at any time, without prior notice, for conduct that Simmons believes violates these terms or is harmful to other visitors, the website, or Simmons’ interests. This includes situations where a visitor engages in prohibited conduct outlined earlier in these terms.
Suspension or termination may also occur for technical reasons, such as website maintenance or security concerns. Simmons will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of planned downtime, but immediate action may be necessary to address urgent security issues or protect the integrity of the site.
If your access is suspended or terminated, you must immediately cease all use of the website. Any licenses granted to you under these terms terminate automatically upon termination of your access. The sections of these terms that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnity, will continue to apply.
Simmons may also discontinue the website or any part of it at any time without liability. We will make reasonable efforts to provide notice before discontinuing significant features of the site. The decision to maintain or modify the website remains at Simmons’ discretion, consistent with our commitment to serving the hunting and shooting community effectively.

When changes are made, the revised terms will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. The most current version of the terms will always be available at simmonsshop.com.

Governing Law Treatment Without Inventing a Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions are governed by applicable law without regard to conflict of law principles. Since Simmons operates as part of the Bushnell Corporation and Vista Outdoor family, certain legal requirements may apply based on our corporate structure. However, specific jurisdictional details are determined by applicable law and the courts with proper authority over any disputes.
Any disputes arising from or related to these terms or your use of the website will be resolved through appropriate legal channels as determined by applicable law. Simmons encourages resolving disputes through informal communication before pursuing formal legal proceedings. Many concerns can be addressed effectively through straightforward discussion.
These terms are written in English and are intended to be understood by visitors from various regions. While we aim to make our terms accessible, legal interpretations may vary by jurisdiction. If you have questions about how these terms apply in your specific location, we encourage you to seek appropriate legal advice from a qualified professional.
By using the Simmons website, you agree that any legal proceedings related to these terms will be conducted in accordance with applicable law and in appropriate venues as determined by such law. This approach ensures fairness and consistency while respecting the legal frameworks of different regions.
Severability, Waiver and Entire Agreement Concepts
If any provision of these Terms and Conditions is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable while preserving its original intent. This severability principle helps ensure that the overall agreement remains intact even if one part is challenged.
Any failure by Simmons to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Waivers must be made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Simmons to be effective. The rights and remedies provided in these terms are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies available under applicable law.
These Terms and Conditions, together with our Privacy Policy and any other applicable policies or guidelines referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and Simmons regarding your use of the website.
