- LIMITATIONS OF THE BARK JR SERVICES.
- Content Blocking Not Guaranteed. Customer acknowledges that use of the Bark Jr Services does not guarantee that content Customer deems objectionable will be 100% unavailable at all times or at any time. Customer assumes full risk and responsibility for the use of or reliance on the Bark Jr Services as regards content blocking. “False positive” content blocking may occur from time to time or at any time.

In the event that Customer believes Company is mis-categorizing a site or service, please contact Company support at help@bark.us to submit the issue for review.

- Limited Warranty on the Bark Devices. This limited warranty covers the operation of Bark Devices in Customer’s home network. All Bark Devices carry a warranty of operability for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of purchase from an Authorized Dealer. If a Bark Device fails to power on, does not successfully initialize, or otherwise fails due to a manufacturing defect or through the normal use or wear of the Bark Device when used in accordance with Company’s applicable specifications during the warranty period, CUSTOMER’S FIRST RECOURSE FOR REFUNDS OR EXCHANGES IS TO THE RETAILER WHERE THE DEVICE WAS PURCHASED ACCORDING TO THE RETAILER’S RETURN POLICIES. If the retailer is unable to exchange or refund the purchase, Customer may send the malfunctioning device, along with a copy of the purchase receipt, a return material authorization (“RMA”) number issued in advance by our technical support agent, and, if applicable, a description of the problems encountered, to:
Bark Technologies, Inc.
Attn: Bark Device Replacements

IF THE BARK DEVICE IS SUBJECT AND ENTITLED TO THE LIMITED WARRANTY, CUSTOMER SHALL BE ENTITLED UNDER THIS SECTION TO A REFUND OF ITS PURCHASE PRICE, REPAIR OF ITS BARK DEVICE, OR A REPLACEMENT BARK DEVICE, AT COMPANY’S ELECTION. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THIS LIMITED WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER ANY WEAR OR DAMAGE RESULTING FROM THE INCORRECT USE OF A BARK DEVICE, AND PROVIDES NO OTHER REMEDIES OR IMPLIES ANY LIABILITY ON COMPANY’S PART. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
- Third Party Hardware. Insofar as the Customer utilizes the Bark Jr Software installed on third-party hardware, including without limitation a User Device, any questions or concerns related to the functioning of the hardware must be handled in accordance with the third party’s expressed warranty and remediation processes.
