• Trap preference.
• Physical abuse or unusual damage to the Trap System, including but not limited to burns, cuts, tears, extensive sun damage, damage by corrosive liquids, provided that the defect is caused by such abuse or damage.

• Any Trap System sold by resellers who are not authorized resellers.
• Trap Systems sold “as-is”, “preconditioned”, “reconditioned”, “used”, “returned”, “previously owned”, or any other similar wording indicating that the Trap System is not “new” or of “first quality” or has previously been purchased or used by another consumer.

  Warning

Feral hogs are known to be intelligent, aggressive, and dangerous animals, especially when captured. They are wild animals and should be treated with caution and respect. Some wild animals are susceptible to certain diseases which can be transmitted to humans. Careful and safe practices may reduce these risks but you can still become seriously injured dealing with wild animals and become sick if you have contact with the blood, fluid, or tissue from an infected hog. 

Due to these inherent risks, as well as other dangers from trapping wild animals, by using the Pig Brig Trap System, the user acknowledges, fully understands, and accepts the risks of interacting with these animals.  Further, the user acknowledges and understands that unauthorized addition, removal, or substitution of any product parts to the Pig Brig Trap System including any unauthorized repairs or alterations performed may lead to unintended product failure.  The Pig Brig Trap System is also not designed for long term containment of wild hogs and it must be checked daily, preferably before first light.  Failure to do so could lead to unanticipated product failure and the potential serious risks associated with such failure.  

The metal T-posts, cam straps, netting, and anchor stakes can all pose a potential danger to other persons if they are not clearly visible.  Thus, be careful to locate the Pig Brig Trap System in an area where people will not typically pass.  But if you must do so, locate it and mark it so that the Pig Brig Trap System is clearly visible to other persons traveling in the area. 

The user is also cautioned to only use the Pig Brig Trap System in accordance with local / regional / national / international laws and regulations regarding the trapping of feral hogs.
