Their domain still leads to an indigogo page. People should avoid startups those use crowdfunding websites as risk free capital gainer preorder pages. They don't get proper investment for a reason.
lol silly conclusion, teach 'em a lesson boys! (yes I just assumed your gender still flies helicopter away )
Now let's think again when you trust some third-party for something as important as your home door.

The closest analogue I know is Amazon remotely wiping books from customer devices when Amazon noticed that they did not have the right to sell them in the first place: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/technology/companies/18ama... (Ironically, the books were by Orwell.) There was a lawsuit which was settled http://www.bizjournals.com/seattle/blog/techflash/2009/09/am... and apologies from Amazon which said they woul…
Yes, that was a mistake, and they said it was a mistake, and they won't do it again. So you can't use this as a general example of how amazon behaves - unless you are arguing they listen and try to fix mistaken behavior.

The means by which the company deprives you of the product is not what's being debated.
Return the product if you're not happy then. You're not entitled to a service, only the piece of hardware.
But seriously, it's not you or the creator's call whether I have to return the product. I don't have to return it if I gave it a bad review.
Just because I bought something from a store doesn't mean I'm now accountable to the creator.
I hope you don't have to test your theory in court, because you will lose - because the law is clear on this matter.
I don't know why many comments about "the customer is clearly an asshole, therefore he deserves the lock not working/the company has the legal rights to do so blah blah" are modded so high right now. Even when the customer is an asshole, that has absolutely nothing to do with a security device betraying him or not. I'm very glad that the customer is now only denied access to the app. I can see one day a company that…
This attitude is rife in the tech industry, sadly, people somehow thing one of their own is being abused by others having an opinion or reporting an experience. Safe spaces, trigger warnings....

I'm also surprised at the amount of overly sensitive people defending Garadget here. Their basis -- that this customer was likely brought up wrong -- is a bit amusing. It suggests that the defenders were brought up to judge others based a single interaction, without any thought of context, or anything but the barest of social awareness. 'course, here I am doing the judging now.
Welcome to American culture. If you think this is bad, look at how parents judge other parents' parenting skills. Mom-shaming is one of the great American past-times. There are few cultures in the developed world with such a strong affinity for judging others. It's the root of the political climate, too: two people who might otherwise get along will, for example, often never have a second date once they discover they…
Calling child protection services because other parents allow their kids to roam outdside without constant supervision is a whole different kettle of fish.
Dear customer, We are a small team who don't have the resources to test every single OS version on every device. Problems will happen. As such we're happy to issue you a refund, and you can keep the device. All we ask is that you let us update the app to make sure it's working on your device, and hopefully others. Thank you for helping us find the issue. We will work tirelessly until it is fixed. If at some stage you…
They didn't offer this, the bricked the device and suggested returning it to Amazon, who have no power over any of this.

Mom-shaming is one thing. Calling child protection services because other parents allow their kids to roam outdside without constant supervision is a whole different kettle of fish.

It's quite amusing the see American guests on some of the ruder British talkshows, and see their reactions when some British guest swears, which often leads to more swearing when the British guests notice their reaction and choose to demonstrate just how much they can get away with. It's pretty much a standing joke on some shows - US guests on these shows fall in two categories: those who are aware of UK humour and/o…
Here are some examples of what can happen on UK talk shows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTd4hw7mZEI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4sGU_eFc40 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_RAE98uE7E&t=393

And yet roaming outside without supervision is perfectly accepted and safe in most regions of the U.S. (certainly not all), and the world. I can't tell if you are justifying a call to child protection services in such a case, or not.
