The Simple Shoes 30 for 30 Membership Program (“30 for 30” or “Simple Membership”) is a paid membership and rewards program, offered at the sole discretion of Simple Shoes, LLC. ("Simple,” Simple Shoes”, "we", "our" or "us"). To be eligible for participation in the Membership, you must be a United States resident and at least thirteen (13) years of age or older. We will not collect personally identifiable information from any person that is actually known to us to be a child under the age of thirteen (13). Persons under the age of eighteen (18) or the applicable age of majority in their legal state of residence (collectively, "Minors") must obtain the consent of their parent or legal guardian prior to participation in the Membership. The Membership is available only to individuals for their personal use and is limited to one (1) account per individual. Employees of Simple Shoes and its subsidiaries, affiliates and divisions are not eligible to participate in the Membership. The Membership is void where prohibited or restricted by law.

When we make revisions or modifications to the Terms or related FAQs, they will be posted on the website at SimpleShoes.com and will be effective immediately upon posting and will supersede all prior versions of these Terms and/or related FAQs. These Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement that you may have with us, including any agreement for products or services. By enrolling in the Program, you also agree to be bound by our website Privacy Policy and website Terms of Use, which are incorporated herein by reference. Your continued participation in the Membership after the posting of any revisions to its Terms and/or related FAQs shall confirm your acceptance of and agreement to be bound by the modified Terms and/or related FAQs, therefore you should periodically review them to be aware of any changes.
