SoCalBARF: Disclaimer, Assurance, and Privacy Notice

Legal Disclaimer: SoCalBARF recommends that you consult your veterinary professional before starting your pet on the raw diet, especially if you have a special needs companion animal. All of our products, with the exception of green tripe, ground products, and rabbit, are USDA/USDC inspected with safe handling instructions on the cases. The use of these products outside these guidelines established by federal and state standards is the sole and separate responsibility of the member. SoCalBARF accepts no liability or responsibility for these uses.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless SoCalBARF and its respective members, service providers, and suppliers from and against all claims and expenses, including attorneys' fees, arising out of your use of any product or service.

SoCalBARF is not responsible for any website malfunction that deprives a member of any goods or services. The SoCalBARF website contains links to other websites and resources. SoCalBARF is not responsible for the availability of these external sites nor does it endorse, nor is it responsible for, the aesthetics, appeal, suitability to taste or subjective quality of informational content, products or other materials made available on or through such external sites. Under no circumstances shall SoCalBARF or any of the providers be held responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage caused or alleged to have been caused to you in connection with the use of or reliance on any content, goods or services available on such external site.

Assurance: As an Unincorporated Nonprofit Association, SoCalBARF functions pursuant to California Corporations Code Section 21000 and 213000. As such, members may not use any benefit for pecuniary profit (re-sale) nor may members share any benefit with non-members. Members who share resources with others will lose all membership privileges.

Terms of Service: We reserve the right to refuse service to, and to terminate the membership of any person, for any reason at our sole discretion. Reasons we may refuse service or terminate membership include, but are not limited to, any action or conduct on the part of a member that is harmful to our interests or any action or conduct that jeopardizes a safe, functional, and trusted environment that mutually benefits the membership and SoCal BARF. Bringing a dog to the distribution facility will result in permanent, non-negotiable termination of membership.

Privacy Statement: Protecting your privacy is important to SoCalBARF and we keep your personal information confidential. SoCalBARF, as an online resource, transacts with its members electronically. When you sign up for any SoCalBARF service or product, you consent to receive electronically from SoCalBARF notices, agreements, disclosures, reports, documents, communications, or other records. You agree that SoCalBARF can send you electronic notices in either or both of the following ways: (1) to the Message Board linked through the website, or (2) to the email address(es) that you provided to SoCalBARF. The delivery of any notice from SoCalBARF is effective when sent, regardless of whether you read the communication when you receive it or whether you actually receive the delivery. Your only method of withdrawing consent to receive notices electronically is to terminate your membership or to have your membership terminated by SoCalBARF. 

We collect and store your personal information you provide in a database for our use only. We make every effort to preserve your privacy; however, we may need to disclose personal information when required by law wherein we have a good-faith belief that such action is required to comply with a current judicial proceeding, criminal investigation, court order, or legal process served on SoCalBARF. We may also share your personal information if we believe it is necessary in order to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of SoCalBARF's assurances, or as otherwise required by law.
