Depends on the dealer... som are more kind than others.

But on the other hand, if one would chip-tune at a serious tuner they usually "take over" the engine-warranty so if the engine break down they will take the cost for the repair. That would indicate they are pretty certain their product won't damage the car. But defenitely a good idea to have a look at the tuners policy if things go bad.
I thought this was only if you physically tamper with the ECU- if you're doing a software remap- this they wouldnt be able to tell. The bluefin itself takes a copy of your actual ECU
