Products, bundles, and limited-edition items may be modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

We may block certain email addresses, payment methods, names, or IP addresses if associated with repeated high-risk activity.

Shipping & Delivery

6.1 Transfer of Risk

Once an order is shipped, risk of loss transfers to the carrier. Bearology is not responsible for delays, misdelivery, theft, or loss caused by carriers or by inaccurate shipping information provided by the customer.

6.2 Estimated Timeframes

Shipping timelines displayed at checkout are estimates only and not guaranteed.

Returns, Refunds, & Exchanges

Due to the nature of limited-edition merchandise and licensed products, all sales are final unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Requests related to damaged, defective, or incorrect items must be submitted within seven (7) days of delivery and must include photographic documentation and order information.

Approval of replacements or remedies is at Bearology’s sole discretion.

However, certain locations or events may offer beverages or products containing alcohol.
Alcohol will only be served to individuals aged 21 or older who present a valid government-issued photo ID.
Bearology reserves the right to refuse alcohol service to any guest for any reason permitted under law.

8.3 Late Arrivals and No-Shows
• Reservation windows may include a limited grace period (varies by location).

No refunds will be provided in such circumstances.

8.5 Photography, Recording & Use of Likeness

Personal photography is permitted unless otherwise indicated.

Professional or commercial photography and videography require prior written approval.
By entering a Bearology Experience, you grant Bearology the right to use photographs or recordings containing your likeness for promotional purposes, unless prohibited by law.

8.6 Assumption of Risk & Liability Waiver

Participation in Experiences may involve interaction with themed environments, décor, lighting, or installation elements.

By attending, you voluntarily assume all risks related to property damage, personal injury, or loss.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bearology disclaims liability for any injury or damage occurring at or arising from an Experience.

Preorders

Certain merchandise, collaborations, or limited-edition items may be offered for sale on a pre-order basis (“Pre-Order Products”). By placing a pre-order, you acknowledge and agree to the following terms:

9.1 Payment & Reservation

Pre-orders require payment in full at the time the order is placed. Payment secures your reservation for the item but does not guarantee immediate shipment.

9.2 Estimated Delivery Window

Any estimated shipping or release dates provided for Pre-Order Products are approximate and subject to change. Production delays, licensing approvals, supply chain issues, or other external factors may affect delivery timelines.

Such delays do not constitute grounds for automatic cancellation or refund unless permitted under Section 3 below.

9.3 Cancellation Prior to Shipment

Customers may request cancellation of a pre-order before the item has been shipped.

Cancellation requests must be submitted promptly via the contact form or customer support email.

If the item has not yet entered the fulfillment or shipping process, Bearology may, at its sole discretion, issue a refund to the original payment method.

Once a Pre-Order Product has shipped, it is no longer eligible for cancellation.

9.4 Refunds After Shipment

After shipment, Pre-Order Products are non-refundable, except under the following limited circumstances:

  • the item arrives defective;
  • the item arrives damaged due to fulfillment error;
  • an incorrect item is received.

Claims must be submitted within seven (7) days of delivery and must include photographs and a description of the issue.

All claims are subject to review and approval at Bearology’s sole discretion.

9.5 Exchanges

Exchanges for Pre-Order Products may be approved only if the product is defective or incorrect and subject to availability.

If an exchange is approved, the customer is responsible for return shipping costs, unless otherwise required by law.

Shipping fees are non-refundable.

9.6 Combined Shipments

If a pre-order is placed with in-stock items, Bearology may ship items together upon availability or in separate shipments at its discretion. Additional shipping fees may apply for multiple shipments.

9.7 Product Modifications

Bearology reserves the right to make minor modifications to the design, packaging, or materials of Pre-Order Products if required for licensing compliance, safety standards, or manufacturing processes. Such adjustments do not qualify the order for cancellation or refund.

9.8 Pre-Order Cancellations by Bearology

In rare cases, Bearology may cancel a pre-order due to manufacturing issues, licensing restrictions, or insufficient production. If this occurs, customers will receive a full refund for the canceled item, which constitutes the sole remedy.

• your use of the website or Experiences;
