Terms of Service & Legal Notice

By visiting our site and/or purchasing products from Bark Post, you engage in our "Service" and agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions, including all additional policies referenced herein.

1. Governing Law

These Terms of Service and any separate agreements whereby we provide you Services shall be governed by, interpreted, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Queensland (QLD), Australia, and the Commonwealth of Australia, without regard to conflict of law principles.

2. Technical Specifications & Brand Clarification

We endeavor to present accurate product descriptions, dog weight ratings, cable diameters, and pricing. Independent Outdoor Pet Hardware Brand Notice: Bark Post is an independent designer and retailer of canine tie-out stakes, cables, and camping tethering hardware. Bark Post is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by Ruffwear, Four Paws, XiaZ, Petmate, Kazoo, or EzyDog. Any comparative references are made strictly for cable gauge conventions, dog weight capacity classifications, and consumer guidance. Bark Post reserves the right to correct any inadvertent inaccuracies at any time without prior notice.

3. Mandatory Supervision, Harness-Only Attachment & Ground Anchoring Safety Warning

CRITICAL NECK INJURY PREVENTION & SUPERVISION WARNING: NEVER attach a tie-out cable to a choke chain, prong collar, martingale collar, or standard neck collar—if a dog sprints at full speed to the end of a tether while attached by the neck, sudden deceleration can cause severe tracheal, cervical spine, or fatal neck trauma. ALWAYS clip tie-out cables exclusively to the rear back D-ring of a well-fitted, padded chest harness, and utilize an inline shock-absorbing spring. Constant Supervision & Soil Anchoring Rules: Never leave a tethered dog unattended—entanglement around camp chairs, trees, or picnic tables can cause severe injury, and dogs must always have access to shade and fresh water in Australian heat. Always screw spiral stakes vertically all the way down until the top swivel ring sits flush against the ground; do not use standard stakes in loose, waterlogged mud or dry powdery beach sand unless paired with deep sand-auger anchors, and verify holding strength before releasing your dog. Bark Post is not liable for pet injuries resulting from unsupervised tethering, neck-collar attachment, or stake pull-out in unsuitable loose soils.
