⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation
Warranty should be activated if, after following usage and easy troubleshooting instructions, the tape measure exhibits a manufacturing defect, such as a failure in the retraction mechanism that cannot be resolved by cleaning, tape breakage without apparent misuse, or a defect in the hook that compromises its functionality. These are considered manufacturing defects that prevent normal product use.
