Proof checklist
Before publishing
- Use warranty, guarantee, replacement, refund, or repair language only if the policy truly exists.
- Show coverage period, proof needed, exclusions, and claim path before customers need it.
- Do not promise lifetime coverage, satisfaction, results, safety, health, durability, compatibility, or delivery unless supported by real policy and evidence.
- Link delivery, refund, privacy, terms, contact, and acceptable-use pages clearly.
- Do not imply Shopify endorses the store or policy.
Decision notes
| Field | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Policy intent | explain damage-on-arrival support |
| Store context | shirt, jacket, dress, scarf, or accessory; fabric defects, seam issues, sizing limits, care instructions, and exchange rules |
| Policy guardrail | Do not blame the customer or carrier before review. |
| Category caution | universal fit, lifetime wear, or no-shrink guarantees |
Safe policy line
Requests are reviewed against the posted policy, order record, and evidence provided.
Proof line
Use concrete context such as fabric defects, seam issues, sizing limits, care instructions, and exchange rules instead of broad guarantee language.
Risk line
Policy risk to avoid: Do not blame the customer or carrier before review. Also: universal fit, lifetime wear, or no-shrink guarantees.
