avatar warranty
All avatars sold after January 1st, 2022 now come with a 6 (six) month "warranty". Any and all issues found with the Avatar, whether caused by E.C.H.O or VRChat updates, will be fixed until this "warranty" is over. The "warranty" does not begin upon purchase; rather, it begins upon release of the Avatar.
Purchases made after this "warranty" expires do not guarantee a functioning avatar and the purchase is made at the customer's own risk.
"Popular demand" avatars will receive updates and fixes beyond this date if needed so long as demand for the Avatar continues.
