Warranty Claim Process

To initiate a warranty claim, the original purchaser must:

1. Contact SKWOL customer support prior to returning any Product
   
2. Provide valid proof of purchase
   
3. Provide photographs, video, or other documentation reasonably requested to evaluate the claim
   
4. Obtain a Return Authorization (RA) number from SKWOL
   

Products returned without prior authorization may be refused or returned at the sender’s expense.

SKWOL reserves the right to inspect all returned Products and to deny warranty coverage if inspection reveals non-covered conditions.

Shipping & Handling

Unless otherwise required by law:

• The customer is responsible for shipping the Product to SKWOL
  
• SKWOL will cover return shipping for approved warranty repairs or replacements
  

Shipping damage, loss, or delay caused by carriers is not covered under this Warranty.

Fraud Prevention & Abuse Safeguards

SKWOL reserves the right to deny any warranty claim where evidence indicates:

• Abuse of warranty privileges
  
• Misrepresentation of product condition or usage
  
• Intentional damage or neglect
  
• Attempted warranty claims on non-defective or fully functional tools
  

Any Product returned and found to be fully functional or outside warranty coverage may be returned to the customer at the customer’s expense.

Post-Warranty Service Program

For Products outside the Warranty Period, SKWOL offers a discretionary post-warranty service program for repairable units.

• Each tool is individually evaluated for serviceability
  
• When repairable, tools are restored using genuine components and skilled workmanship
  
• A one-time comprehensive service fee of $50 covers inspection, repair, and return shipping
  

Participation in this program is subject to availability and SKWOL’s sole discretion.
