This limited lifetime warranty covers significant defects in material and workmanship from the date of purchase.

 

WHAT DOES THIS WARRANTY NOT COVER?

This warranty does not apply to the following products:

  1. OLFA TouchKnife®, scissors, cutting mats, rulers or multi-purpose scrapers
  2. All styles and models of replacement blades
  3. Any products that are damaged, repaired, altered, tampered, reworked, or improperly used or stored

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW DISCLAIMERS OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THIS DISCLAIMER MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL OLFA OR ITS RESPECTIVE SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY (CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) UPON WHICH THE CLAIM IS BASED, AND WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR OLFA WAS ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

If you believe that we have not performed our obligations under this limited warranty, please send a written notice to OLFA at OLFA North America Inc., 2115 South Service Road W., Box 3, Oakville, Ontario, Canada L6L-5W2 or OLFA U.S.A. Inc., 5201 E. U.S. Highway 36, Suite 213, Avon, IN 46123, Attention to Customer Service, so that you and OLFA can first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves. In the event that the dispute is not resolved on an informal basis within 90 calendar days since you deliver a written notice to us, either party may commence and the dispute shall be determined by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures (the “Commercial Rules”).
