Lost & Broken
Replacement Program
How Does the Replacement Program Work?
If your sunglasses, snow goggles, snow goggle lenses, blue light glasses, or React frames or lenses become damaged for any reason at all within two years of purchase*, you may request a new pair by submitting a request via Shady Rays’ Lost or Broken Replacement Program website: protect.shadyrays.com. If you lose your sunglasses or blue light glasses, you may also submit a request for replacement using this same process.
Proof of purchase may be required to make a Replacement Request. You may also be required to provide photographs of the damage to your item.
A processing fee is required for all replacements. The following schedule contains the processing fee that applies for each Lost or Broken Replacement, which is based on:
- Whether you are a Shady Rays VIP. You can learn more about the VIP program, and lookup whether you are a VIP, at the following website: https://shadyrays.com/pages/vip-landing
- The country shipping address for the replacement item:

How Do You Submit a Warranty Claim?
In order to be eligible for replacement of your Covered Item(s) under this Warranty, you must submit a claim via the Warranty claim process on the Shady Rays website at protect.shadyrays.com. If you purchased your Covered Item(s) from a Shady Rays authorized retailer or partner, proof of purchase may be required to submit a claim. You may also be required to provide photographs of the claimed damage to your item.
What Will Shady Rays Do?
Shady Rays will evaluate your submitted Warranty claim. If Shady Rays determines that the damage to your Covered Item(s) is caused by a defect in materials or craftsmanship, Shady Rays will replace your item, at no cost to you, with the same style and color, provided supplies are available. If your item’s style is sold out or has been discontinued, you will be offered another item of similar or reasonably equivalent style as identified by Shady Rays.
No shipping and handling, or processing fees are required to submit or for Shady Rays to fulfill your Warranty claim.
