⚖️ Seller Warranty & Marketplace Dispute Conciliation
If, after following all usage and troubleshooting guidelines, the cable exhibits charging or data transfer failure not caused by evident misuse (such as physical breakage), or if the connector has a manufacturing defect (e.g., excessive looseness from the start), activate the warranty under the seller's warranty and marketplace return policy.
