Yatoshi Limited Warranty

Yatoshi warrants to repair or replace any product manufactured by Yatoshi and purchased directly from Yatoshi or Yatoshi’s authorized retailers if it is found defective in material, construction, or workmanship under normal non-professional use, and following instructions for care for a period of one year from the date of purchase. This Limited Warranty is valid only in the United States. Should your product require warranty service, please contact us at support@yatoshiknives.com for a warranty evaluation. Upon approval of your claim, Yatoshi will repair or replace the item without charge.

If the replacement product is no longer available, one of equal or greater retail value will be given. Replacement products may be provided in a color different from the product you originally purchased.  Yatoshi shall not be obliged to replace any product which is not accompanied by a valid proof of purchase.

Disclaimer, Limitation on Liability

To the extent permissible by applicable law, the product is provided “as is” and this warranty is your sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the product. Yatoshi’s sole and exclusive liability under this US warranty, and the US consumer’s sole and exclusive remedy, is limited to the repair or replacement of the defective product. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law and except as set forth in this limited warranty, in no event will Yatoshi or its suppliers be liable for procurement of substitute products or other special, incidental, consequential, or indirect damages arising out of or related to the product or its use by you or any third party. In no event will Yatoshi’s total liability exceed the purchase price paid by the consumer for the product(s) at issue giving rise to such liability. Any oral or written description of a product is for the sole purpose of identifying it and shall not be construed as an express warranty. This warranty (US only) gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state, or country to country. Because we are unable to control the quality of our products sold by unauthorized sellers, this warranty only applies to products manufactured by Yatoshi and purchased directly from Yatoshi or Yatoshi’s authorized sellers. This warranty does not apply to products purchased from any sellers that are not authorized by Yatoshi. If you have any questions regarding whether a seller is an authorized seller, please contact us at support@yatoshiknives.com.
