  • Accidental misuse or failure to maintain
  • Irregular conditions; or
  • Any other manner of use or handling which indicates a lack of reasonable care with the Item(s)

  • You have attempted to alter or repair the Item(s) yourself or have allowed a third party to do so or attempt to do so
  • The Item(s) have deteriorated as a result of fair wear and tear which is reasonably expected in the normal and regular use of the Item(s); or
