Warranty 

Our Cortazu outerwear comes with a 5-year warranty, which guarantees the quality and performance of our products. The warranty covers original and unmodified fabrics and materials used by Cortazu. However, normal wear and tear damages are not covered. We encourage our customers to care for their outerwear according to the care instructions provided, as proper maintenance can help prolong the life and performance of the garment.

• Seam tape delamination or peeling. 
• Zippers malfunctioning, getting stuck, or breaking under normal usage.
• Membrane failures related to waterproofness or breathability.
• Velcro losing its adhesion. 

Examples of wear and tear damages that are not included in the warranty: 

• Abrasion or tearing of the fabric due to extreme conditions or rough use. 
• Damage caused by accidents or misuse, such as snagging on sharp objects.
• Damage as a result of improper care or cleaning methods. 
• General loss of water repellency over time, which may require repellency-treatment.

Please note that if the product issue is not covered under warranty (e.g., cut, ripped fabric), repair services will be charged at the standard repair service of URC rate plus a handling fee of 9.90 euros.
