Preorder / Reservation Agreement (Canada)
Your reservation of a Rivian vehicle
Last Updated: January 17, 2025
This Preorder / Reservation Agreement (these “Terms” or “Agreement”) governs the placing of a preorder / reservation (“Reservation”) with Rivian Automotive Canada, Inc. (“Rivian” or “we” or “us”) for a Rivian vehicle (“Vehicle”). Please read all of these Terms carefully before submitting your Reservation. By submitting your Reservation, you agree to be legally bound by these Terms.
1. No Obligations
Each Reservation you submit for a Vehicle acts as a deposit for a future purchase of the Vehicle. You are under no obligation to purchase a Vehicle from us, and we are under no obligation to supply you with a Vehicle.
These Terms do not constitute an agreement for the sale of a Vehicle and do not lock in pricing, a firm production slot, a firm delivery date, or specific Vehicle configuration. To complete the purchase or lease of a Vehicle, you will need to execute Rivian’s standard final Rivian Motor Vehicle Purchase Agreement (“Final Sales Agreement”) which will include additional terms and conditions, including the final price sheet for the vehicle you ultimately select (“Your Selected Vehicle”). The Final Sales Agreement may be made with another Rivian entity. Additional payment for Your Selected Vehicle, including taxes and other governmental fees, will be required at that time.
We may decline Reservations to avoid over-subscription or as we deem appropriate in our sole discretion. If your Reservation is declined, you will be notified and your Reservation payment will be refunded.
2. Eligibility: Age and Residency; Entity Reservations
You must be at least the age of majority in the province or territory of residence to reserve a Vehicle. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that you are not a minor and you are a resident of Canada. If you are reserving a Vehicle on behalf of a company, organization or entity (an “Entity”) located in Canada, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that Entity to these Terms and such Entity agrees to be bound by these Terms.
3. Registration
When placing a Reservation for a Vehicle, you represent and warrant that all information provided is accurate, and it is your responsibility to keep this information current at any time by contacting Rivian Support at https://rivian.com/en-CA/support#contact. Rivian shall not be liable for inaccurate or outdated information.
4. Payment
You will be charged the fee indicated (the “Reservation Fee”) when you place your Reservation. Placing a Reservation constitutes your express agreement to be charged the Reservation Fee using your provided payment method. Your payment will be held by Rivian in a separate account designated solely for Reservations and released for application towards the final sales price of Your Selected Vehicle when you execute the Final Sales Agreement. Your payment is subject to Rivian’s Payment Terms at https://rivian.com/en-CA/legal/payment-canada.
5. No Guarantee of Delivery Date
You are reserving a Vehicle without specifying the model, features, and options. We will endeavor to produce Your Selected Vehicle in the future and your priority will be set by the date of payment of your Reservation Fee, our manufacturing schedule, our delivery and service operations availability and execution of the Final Sales Agreement. There is no guarantee as to the delivery date based on your Reservation.
6. Cancellation/Refund
You may cancel your Reservation and receive a full refund of your Reservation Fee at any time by contacting Rivian Support at https://rivian.com/en-CA/support#contact. You will receive your refund within approximately 5-10 business days. Rivian may cancel your Reservation at any time and will issue a full refund of your Reservation Fee to the address on file.
7. Vehicle Configuration and Battery Range
You understand that we may not have completed the development of the Vehicle or begun manufacturing the Vehicle at the time of your Reservation and specifications are subject to change at any time. You understand battery range and other available features have not yet been determined and may change, even after features are announced. By agreeing to these Terms, you represent and warrant to us that you understand that the Vehicle configuration may change prior to execution of any Final Sales Agreement.
8. Data Privacy Notice and General Terms
The data Rivian and/or its affiliates collect from you or about Your Selected Vehicle will be used in accordance with our Data Privacy Notice and General Terms, each of which is incorporated herein by reference and available on our website at https://rivian.com/en-CA/privacy#notices and https://rivian.com/en-CA/legal/terms-canada.

If you have questions regarding our Data Privacy Notice or General Terms, contact Rivian Support at https://rivian.com/en-CA/support#contact.
9. Severability
If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision, or portion of this Agreement, to be unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the unenforceable provision shall be deemed to be modified solely to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.
10. Modification
This Agreement may not be modified, altered or amended unless expressly agreed to in writing signed by Rivian.
11. No Waivers
The failure by Rivian to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of Rivian.
12. Assignment
You may not assign your rights under these Terms without our express prior consent. Rivian may assign these Terms or your Reservation Fee in our discretion without your consent. Any assignment in violation of this Agreement will be null and void.
13. Limitation of Liability
IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER SUBJECT TO THE QUEBEC CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, THE LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION DO NOT RELEASE US FROM THE CONSEQUENCES OF OUR OWN ACTIONS OR THE ACTIONS OF OUR REPRESENTATIVES.
No Consequential or Indirect Damages. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL RIVIAN OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS AND PARTNERS BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR ENHANCED DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF (A) WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE; (B) WHETHER OR NOT A PROPOSED DEFENDANT WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES; AND (C) THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED.
Maximum Liability. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL RIVIAN’S OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, LICENSORS AND PARTNERS AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED THE TOTAL OF THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO RIVIAN PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.
14. No Resellers; Discontinuation; Cancellation; Non-Export
Rivian and its affiliates may unilaterally cancel any Reservation that we believe has been made with the intent to resell the Vehicle or otherwise has been made in bad faith. Rivian may also cancel your Reservation if a vehicle, product, feature, or option is discontinued after you place your Reservation.
The Vehicle is intended for use only in the country where the Vehicle is sold by Rivian to you, and service will be limited or unavailable outside of that country. You agree that you will not directly or indirectly export, or assist or facilitate the export of, this vehicle to a country where the Unites States or Canada has imposed trade restrictions.
15. Choice of Law
This Agreement, its subject matter and its formation, and any related non-contractual disputes or claims, are governed by the laws of the province of British Columbia, without regard to choice or conflict of law principles. If you are a resident of Quebec, the laws of such province apply in all cases.
16. Text Messages, Notifications, and Telephone Calls
By agreeing to this Agreement, you understand that by providing your wireless telephone number(s) now or in the future, you consent to being contacted at those numbers or addresses using prerecorded artificial voice messages and/or automatic telephone dial devices with non-marketing information about your vehicle, such as service reminders and appointments. You understand and agree that by providing your wireless telephone number you are consenting to receive calls or texts at that number. You also consent to receiving emails to any email address(es) you provide. You further understand and agree that these communications may contain your non-public information. You explicitly confirm that this consent covers the use of these contact methods to call or send text messages to the wireless telephone number(s) and to send text or email messages to the email address(es) you provide, for which you may incur a charge. Separately, we may seek your prior express written consent for marketing text messages or telephone calls. For all communications, you can control permission for calls, texts or push notifications in the Rivian app or by contacting Rivian Support at https://rivian.com/en-CA/support#contact.
17. Entire Agreement
Your Reservation confirmation, these Terms, the Payment Terms, our General Terms, and our Data Privacy Notice will be deemed the final and integrated agreement between you and us on the matters contained in these Terms. It shall supersede all prior and contemporaneous representations, warranties, agreements, understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written, of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict between these Terms, our General Terms and our Data Privacy Notice, these Terms shall prevail.
