Can I replace the clip?

The clip is an integral design element and is not intended to be user-replaceable. Attempting to remove it may damage the pen.

What is the warranty period for this pen?

Troubleshooting

Pen not writing or skipping

Ensure the ballpoint refill is properly installed and has ink. Try cleaning the ballpoint tip with a soft, damp cloth. If the issue persists, replace the refill.

Ink leakage

Check that the barrel is screwed on securely. If leakage continues, the refill may be faulty or the pen may have sustained damage; contact customer support.
