Absolute assurance claim
Risk-free can imply that no buyer faces any limitation, loss, side effect, or other downside. The claim may overstate the offer when material conditions, product variation, or exclusions still apply.
Remove the absolute assurance. Describe a specific offer term, product feature, process, or intended use without implying that every purchase or use has no downside.
A documented return or refund program is not the same as saying the product or purchase carries no risk. Material conditions should remain clear and close to the claim.
