Definition of reasonable wear and tear
Reasonable day-to-day wear does not warrant replacement or refund. The below description should be used to inform what you should expect of the robustness of Hooke Verse products given day-to-day wear;
- It is reasonable to expect that with day-to-day wear, Hooke Verse products, cables and case, may suffer minor scratches and scuffs.
- The ear-tips and outer cups of Hooke Audio products are expected to require cleaning, as day-to-day use leaves normal detritus on the silicone and memory foam.
- The ear-tips of the Hooke Verse are expected to require replacement at times, as they are deliberately detachable.
