Gap return policy
You have 30 days to return or exchange items, counted from delivery for online orders or from the purchase date in store. Some Encore Members get 45 or 60 days, and returns after 30 days are given a Merchandise Return Card instead. Returns by mail cost non-members $6.
What Gap says
30 Days to Return or Exchange From delivery date for online purchases, or Purchase date for store purchases.

The 30 days runs from the delivery date for online orders and from the purchase date for store purchases. Some Encore Members get longer: Premier Members have up to 45 days and All-Access Cardmembers up to 60 days (60 is the figure recorded as the member window). The page says returns after 30 days receive a Merchandise Return Card rather than a refund to the original payment. In-store returns and exchanges are free for eligible purchases. Returns by mail (online purchases only) are free for Encore Members, with a $6 fee for non-members. The page refers to eligibility conditions ("eligible* purchases") but the details are on a separate Return Policy FAQ page, so exclusions for discounted or final-sale items are not stated here. The page does not mention price adjustments.

More than this page shows
Gap also publishes a longer window for members and 2 categories it excludes, and whether the window runs from the purchase or the delivery. Those fields, and the deadline for a given purchase date, come back from the API rather than being listed here.

No nationwide return or price-adjustment right: in the US each store sets its own rules, so Pricemend goes by the store's published policy.
This applies on top of whatever Gap offers, and sometimes gives you more.
