ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Warranty

 

There is a 2 year warranty on the Barryvox

®

 transceiver (exclu-

ding the batteries, the carrying system and the leash) from the 
date of purchase shown on the purchase receipt. 
If you register your device on www.Barryvox.com by completely 
filling in the required information, the existing warranty durati-
on, starting from the date of purchase shown on the purchase 
receipt, will be prolonged by an additional 3 years of warranty.
In case of a warranty claim, all parts that can be shown to 
have material or production defects will be replaced free of 
charge. Damage that can be traced to incorrect handling or 
normal wear and tear is excluded. 

The warranty is voided if the buyer or any non-authorized third 
party opens the device. This is also the case for devices that 
have been used with spare parts or accessories which are not 
original and are not recommended by the manufacturer. 
A fee will be charged for the diagnostic test of a transceiver not 
needing any repair. Warranty repairs do not extend the duration 
of the warranty. There is a six month warranty on replaced spare 
parts. Warranty repairs will only be conducted if the device is 
sent in along with the receipt. 
The owner will be charged for the shipping. No other warranty 
shall exist. Any liability for any kind of loss or damage including 
but not limited to any direct, indirect or consequential damage is 
explicitly excluded.
