What's Actually Covered?
Let's be clear about what counts as a defect versus normal wear:
✓ Covered Defects
- Tension system won't hold (not from dropping)
- Colour coating fading with normal cleaning
- Swivel thumb ring stops rotating
- Blades separating at the pivot
- Manufacturing flaws in the steel
✗ Not Covered
- Dulling from use (that's what sharpening's for)
- Damage from dropping (happens to the best of us)
- Corrosion from improper care
- Using them on anything other than hair
- "Don't like the style" (that's what our 7-day return is for)

Resolution
If it's a genuine defect, we'll either:
- Fix them and send them back
- Replace with a new pair
- Offer a full refund if you prefer
Real Examples
Here's how it works in practice:
Example 1: Loose Tension Screw
"Just got my new Jaguar scissors, but the tension screw won't tighten properly."
Resolution: That's a defect. Send them back, we'll either fix the screw or replace the scissors entirely. Your choice.
Example 2: Scissors Feel Dull
"My scissors don't feel sharp after 3 months of use."
Resolution: That's normal wear. Not covered by warranty, but we can recommend trusted sharpening services near you. If it's within 7 days of purchase though, exchange them!
Example 3: Coating Wearing Off
"The black coating on my scissors is fading after normal cleaning."
Resolution: Coating should last with proper care. This would be covered - we'd replace them with a new pair.
Beyond the Warranty: Our 7-Day Promise
Look, buying scissors online is tricky. We get it. That's why every purchase comes with our 7-day change of mind guarantee.
Not happy with your scissors? Just not feeling them? Send them back within 7 days for:

Scissors need to be unused and in original packaging. Fair enough, right?
