What is the warranty on your products? TOP

The products under warranty are *ONLY* for Ohm Beads branded products.

ONE-Year Ohm Beads Warranty

Your Ohm Beads Jewellery comes with a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. Chiyopia Inc. will only honor the Ohm Beads warranty for items that have been purchased at Chiyopia.com. Warranty claims on Ohm Beads items not purchased at Chiyopia.com should be returned to that same dealer, not to Chiyopia. This warranty is extended only to you, as the purchaser of the product(s), and not to any subsequent owner of the products.

Manufacturer's Defects Covered Under Warranty:
Broken clasps, improperly threaded charms, missing gemstones, soldering abnormalities and breakage from porosity.

Normal wear and tear is not covered under the warranty, including, but not limited to: Cracked, chipped or etched glass charms, bent or damaged clasps that are the result of improper opening or closing, kinked or stretched bracelets or necklaces, damaged, faded or stretched leather items. The warranty also does not cover items that have reacted with chemicals, including but not limited to pools, hot tubs, spas, rubber products, household cleaners, hairsprays or perfumes.

Please note that oxidized Jewelry is meant to fade into an antique patina as it is worn. The effect of water, wearing lots of charms and wearing multiple bracelets will speed up this process. The warranty does not cover items that have lost their oxidization.

Warranty claims can be handled at any authorized Ohm Beads retailer when you are able to show a receipt to show that you are still within the 1-year time frame. If you think you have a warranty issue please contact us. Please note that items that are determined to be covered under warranty will be replaced free of charge but you will still be charged for shipping fees.
