Claim window

A claim window is the limited period during which a buyer can submit a buyer-protection claim for a purchase.

In plain English

It is a fixed stretch of time tied to a purchase for raising a protection issue. During that period, the buyer may file the claim. The period is limited rather than open-ended.
