What is a nice way to explain that performing a certain action will "break" a product? I have to explain to a customer that use of my product in an unauthorized manner will "break" the product, but I'd like to use a word that has the same meaning but more professional connotation while maintaining the robustness/integrity of my product in their eyes.

For a physical object, "damage" is the usual choice in my experience. For software, you sometimes see "corrupt", though that usually applies to data and not the product itself.
