⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation

Warranty should be claimed if, after correct use and attempted solutions described, the snips exhibit a manufacturing defect in the blades (cracks, warping not caused by misuse), pivot failure preventing cutting, or if the handles detach from the frame without any apparent external damage. In such cases, the product may have a manufacturing defect.
