The www.bestbuy.com website, Best Buy mobile and iPad apps, and our mobile Best Buy site are collectively the "Best Buy Properties" and each individually is a "Best Buy Property." It is your responsibility, prior to participating in this Trade-In Program, to read these Terms & Conditions carefully to understand your rights and obligations. If you are dissatisfied with any Best Buy Property, its content, or these Terms & Conditions, you agree that your sole and exclusive remedy is to not participate in the Trade-In Program.

Changes: Best Buy reserves the right to make changes to any Best Buy Property and these Terms & Conditions at any time. Each time you wish to participate in the Trade-In Program, you should review the then-current Terms & Conditions. Best Buy may terminate the Trade-In Program at any time, without notice to you.

Rights and Obligations Regarding the Trade-In Program: You agree to the following terms and conditions:

  1. Ownership and Authority to Trade-In. You represent and warrant that you are the sole and rightful owner of the item bearing the specifications, serial number, and model number which you have offered for trade-in (the "Item") and have full authority to sell or otherwise dispose of the Item.

  2. Deactivate. You agree to deactivate all services to your Item(s) and remove any and all codes (including without limitation removing user locks, passwords, and/or turn off/deactivating the “Find My Device” feature) that may prevent Best Buy from having the ability to use, refurbish, recycle, resell or dispose of the Item.
  3. Accuracy of Information. You agree that all information you provide about the Item for trade-in, as well as information you have or will provide about yourself, is true, accurate, and complete.
  4. Original U.S. Equipment from Manufacturer.

  5. Working Condition Upon Arrival. You agree that you are providing the Item to Best Buy in working condition, and you shall be solely responsible for the arrival condition of the Item at Best Buy's facilities.

You may elect to either trade in your Item for the updated quoted trade-in or credit value, or you may elect for the Item to be returned to you.

If you do not respond within this time period, we will presume that (1) the updated trade-in value option is elected, and the Item will be processed using the updated value; or (2) if the Item has no trade-in value, then Best Buy may recycle the Item. If we receive an item that is a biohazard or is considered hazardous (ex. bodily fluids on items, swollen lithium battery, etc.), we will not ship the item back to you and we will dispose of the item(s) in accordance with federal regulations.
  7. Limitations.

These product limits are subject to change at any time. Please note that there may be additional product limits associated with promotions. We reserve the right to refuse any trade-in or limit quantities for any reason at our own discretion.
