Checking and Tightening

2. When asked to check links on rivets, chains, bracelets, clasps, etc., we cannot guarantee against loss or duribilty. Many items cannot be checked without taking them apart. This will cause the item to need repair because of the disassembly. Many items that are fine today can have problems days or weeks later. We can only guarantee items we repair, not those that we visually inspect.
