5) No Lifesaving Uses of the Services
The Roost Smart battery app (including mobile
and web applications), the smart battery device,
and the smart battery device software may be
collectively referred to as the “Services”.
The Roost Smart Battery is not an alarm. The
apps and device software are intended to be
accessed and used for non-critical information
and control of the smart battery. You will not
rely on the Services for any health, lifesaving,
or emergency purposes. Under no
circumstances should you enter into a life-
threatening environment. The Services (on
their own or in combination with third-party
products or services) are not a third-party
monitored emergency notification system and
are not certified for emergency response.
Roost will not dispatch emergency authorities
to your home in the event of an emergency.
Mobile notifications are provided for
informational purposes only and are not a
substitute for a third-party monitored
emergency notification system. In cases
where it is critical for health, life safety, or
other purposes, accessing information
through or in connection with the Services
is not a substitute for obtaining the
information from observing the situation
directly. Roost makes no warranty or
representation that use of the Services (alone
or with any third-party product or service) will
affect or increase safety. The company cannot
and does not provide specific information on
what to do in an emergency situation in your
home or elsewhere. It is your responsibility to
educate yourself on how to respond to an
emergency and to respond according to the
specifics of your situation.
Roost cannot and does not guarantee that
you will receive notifications within a certain
time or at all. While Roost aims for the
Services to be highly reliable and available,
Roost does not offer any specific uptime
guarantee for the Services and the Services
are not intended to be reliable or available
100% of the time. The apps and device
software may be suspended temporarily
without notice for security reasons, system
failure, maintenance and repair, or other
circumstances. The Services are subject to
sporadic interruptions and failures for a
variety of reasons beyond Roost’s control,
including issues related to electrical or battery
failure, wireless connectivity and service
provider and carrier uptime. You will not be
entitled to any refund or rebate for such
suspensions, interruptions or failures. Roost
is not responsible for (and you are responsible
for) any damages allegedly caused by the
failure or delay of the apps or device software
to reflect current status or notifications.
The apps or device software will not be
accessible without: (i) always-on broadband
Internet access and a working Wi-Fi network
in your home that communicates reliably with
the Company’s products; (ii) mobile clients
such as a supported phone or tablet; and (iii)
other hardware or software that may be
specified by Roost. It is your responsibility to
ensure that you have all required hardware
and software and that such hardware and
software are compatible and properly
configured. The Services may not work as
described when the requirements and
compatibility have not been met. You are
responsible for all fees charged by the
providers of such hardware or software in
connection with your use of the Services.
6) Roost Smart Battery Limited Warranty
Please note: All claims made under the Roost
Smart Battery One-Year Limited Warranty will
be governed by the terms set out in this
warranty document.
Roost, Inc. (“Roost”) warrants to the original
purchaser only that the Roost Smart Battery
(“Product”) shall be free from defects in
materials and workmanship under normal use
for a period of ONE (1) YEAR from the date of
original retail purchase (“Warranty Period”).
Roost
Important
Information
1. REMEDIES.
If a defect in materials or workmanship arises
and a valid claim is received by Roost during the
Warranty Period, Roost, at its option and to the
extent permitted by law, will (1) repair the
Product at no charge using new parts or
previously used parts that are equivalent to new
in performance and reliability, or (2) exchange
the Product with a product with equivalent
functionality formed from new and/or previously
used parts that are equivalent to new in
performance and reliability or, with your consent,
a product that is at least functionally equivalent
to the product it replaces. If Roost is unable
to provide a replacement and repair is not
commercially practicable or cannot be timely
made, Roost may refund the original purchase
price you paid for the Product. In the event of a
defect, to the extent permitted by law, these are
your sole and exclusive remedies. Shipping and
handling charges may apply except where
prohibited by applicable law. This Limited
Warranty is valid only in jurisdictions where the
Product is sold by Roost itself or through its
authorized reseller or agent, and is valid to the
extent permitted by applicable laws of such
jurisdictions. Any replacement Product will be
warranted for the remainder of the original
Warranty Period or for thirty (30) days,
whichever is longer, or for any additional
period of time that may be applicable in the
jurisdiction in which purchaser resides.
2. HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE.
To obtain warranty service, you must obtain a
Return Material Authorization (RMA) from our
customer service team. For specific information
on how to obtain warranty service on your
Product, contact Roost using the information
described at www.getroost.com/returns. When
you contact Roost via telephone, you may be
required to pay call charges depending on your
location. Please contact your network operator
for details. Proof of purchase may be required to
verify eligibility. If Roost determines that your
Product is eligible for mail-in service, Roost will
provide you with an RMA and send you prepaid
waybills and applicable packaging material, so
that you may ship your Product to Roost. Roost
will pay for shipping to and from your location if
you follow Roost’s instructions regarding the
method of packaging and shipping the Product.
Otherwise, you will be required to reimburse
Roost for shipping to and from your location. By
returning the Product to Roost, you agree to
transfer ownership to Roost. Any Product
returned to Roost without a valid warranty claim
or without a RMA may be rejected, returned at
your cost (subject to prepayment) or kept for
thirty (30) days for your pick-up and then
disposed of in Roost’s sole discretion.
3. EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS.
This Limited Warranty applies only to the
Product manufactured by or for Roost that can
be identified by the “Roost” trademark, trade
name or logo affixed to it. The Limited Warranty
does not apply to any (a) Roost products and
services other than the Product, or (b) the Roost
mobile application and the related services
provided by Roost that are enabled via the Roost
mobile application or the Product. Please refer
to the Terms of Service that accompany the
Roost mobile application for details regarding
your rights with respect to its use.
This Limited Warranty excludes normal depletion
and wear or tear, unless failure has occurred due
to a defect in materials or workmanship. In
addition, this Limited Warranty does not apply
to: (a) damage caused by use with non-Roost
products; (b) damage caused by abuse,
accident, modifications, unauthorized repairs or
other causes that are not defects in materials and
workmanship; (c) damage caused by operating
the Product outside the permitted or intended
uses described by Roost or with improper
voltage or power supply; (d) damage caused by
exposure to excessive heat, humidity, rain,
moisture or other liquids or handling, storage or
use of the Product in a manner contrary to
Roost’s user instructions; or (e) damage caused
by service performed by anyone who is not a
representative of Roost. This warranty is void if
a Product is returned with removed, damaged,
or tampered labels or any alterations (including
unauthorized removal of any external cover).
No Roost reseller, agent or employee is
authorized to make any modification, extension
or addition to this Limited Warranty.
In no event shall Roost be liable for (a) loss or
damage, which as of the product’s purchase
cannot be regarded as being caused by
Roost’s breach of these warranty terms; or (b)
losses caused by the user’s fault.
4. IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS.
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PROHIBITED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES
AND CONDITIONS (INCLUDING WARRANTIES
AND CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE)
SHALL BE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE
DURATION OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY. Some
jurisdictions do not allow limitations on the

fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; (iii)
intentional misconduct or gross negligence; (iv)
or a culpable breach of major contractual
obligations. Some jurisdictions do not allow the
exclusion or limitation of special, indirect,
incidental or consequential damages, so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

principles that may provide for the application
of the law of another jurisdiction.

acceptable quality and the failure does not amount
to a major failure. Repair of the goods may result
in loss of data. Goods presented for repair may be
replaced by refurbished goods of the same type
rather than being repaired. Refurbished parts may
be used to repair the goods.

are governed by that province’s consumer
protection legislation.
