Adidas tip
Defective items covered by 1-year warranty even after the 30-day return window closes.
BODi tip
The 31-day guarantee is billed as 'money back' but shipping & handling is deducted from the refund, so the amount you get back is less than what you paid; free-trial-initiated subscriptions are carved out entirely.
