Terms of Service

Last updated: October 2026

Terms of Service

These terms govern your use of barkmarker.com.au (“the site”) and the sale of Bark Marker units (“the service”). By using the site or buying a unit, you agree to them.

The sale

Bark Marker sells pre-configured acoustic monitoring units. The current price is $350, with freight within Australia included. Payment and delivery arrangements are confirmed with you when you order. The unit comes with 12 months of software support, and a hardware warranty on the components as set out on your invoice. This is in addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.

Buyback

If you return the unit within 60 days of purchase in good, clean, undamaged condition, we refund $100. Return postage is at your expense, and you carry the risk of loss or damage in transit. The refund is paid after the unit arrives and has been checked. Every returned unit is wiped before any resale, and we do not copy or keep your recordings. You agree to take reasonable care of the unit and to use it only for its intended purpose.

Acceptable use and your responsibilities

You agree to use the unit and the site lawfully. In particular:

  • You are responsible for understanding and complying with the laws that apply to recording sound where you live. Recording and surveillance laws vary between states and territories, and it is your responsibility, not ours, to ensure your use of the device is lawful.
  • You are responsible for how you use any recordings, data, or reports the device produces, including how you share them and who you share them with.
  • You must not use the unit to harass, intimidate, or unlawfully surveil any person.
  • You must not attempt to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorised access to the site or its infrastructure.

Evidence reports and council complaints

The service provides monitoring tools and evidence reports. It does not provide legal advice, and it does not guarantee any particular outcome with a neighbour, a council, or any other body. Councils assess noise complaints under their own local laws and processes, which vary by area. See our disclaimer for more.

Intellectual property

All content on this site, including text, images, and design, is the property of Bark Marker. You may not reproduce or republish it without written permission, except as permitted by Australian copyright law.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by Australian law, Bark Marker is not liable for any loss or damage arising from use of the site, the service, the device, or any report or data it produces, including any outcome of a complaint or dispute. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee or right you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia.
