This feels like you should still be able to require them to replace or fix it. It would be like them coming into your home, accidentally stepping on it and then saying, “oops, too bad it’s out of warranty.” It’s too bad that small claims is probably more expensive than just paying to replace it.












Anyway, this is not practically readable and takes much longer to compose.
(I spent way too long trying to read this, and ended up cheating on the last word.)
