Terms and Conditions

Welcome to our website! By placing an order with us, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions. Please read them carefully before purchasing our 3D-printed, laser-engraved, laser-cut, and custom products.


1. General Information

All products are made using 3D printing, laser engraving, and/or laser cutting processes. Because many of our products are handmade or individually produced, minor variations in color, texture, finish, dimensions, or appearance may occur.

These variations are a normal part of the manufacturing process and are not considered defects.


2. Custom & Personalized Orders

Custom and personalized orders are made specifically for the customer and may not be resold.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate information, including:

  • Names
  • Dates
  • Spelling
  • Sizes
  • Colors
  • Designs
  • Personalization details
  • Other requested specifications

Please carefully review your order information before submitting your purchase.

Once a custom order has entered production, changes or cancellations may not be possible.

We are not responsible for errors resulting from incorrect information provided by the customer.


3. Customer-Supplied Designs

Customers may provide their own artwork, logos, images, or designs for 3D printing, laser engraving, or laser cutting.

By submitting artwork or designs, you confirm that you have the legal right to use and reproduce the material.

You agree that your submitted artwork does not infringe upon another person's or company's:

  • Copyright
  • Trademark
  • Patent
  • Intellectual property rights

We reserve the right to refuse an order if we believe the requested design may violate intellectual property rights or applicable laws.


4. Design & Proof Approval

For certain custom orders, we may provide a digital proof before production.

If a proof is provided, the customer is responsible for carefully reviewing it before approving production.

Once a proof has been approved, we will produce the item according to the approved design.

Errors that were visible in an approved proof may not qualify for a replacement or refund.


5. 3D Printed Products

3D-printed products may contain minor imperfections that are inherent to the 3D-printing process.

These may include:

  • Visible layer lines
  • Small surface imperfections
  • Minor stringing
  • Slight variations in dimensions
  • Small marks from support removal
  • Minor differences in color or finish

These characteristics are normal and do not necessarily indicate a defective product.

3D-printed items should be handled appropriately for the material from which they are made. Some materials may become soft or deform when exposed to excessive heat.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, our 3D-printed products are not intended for use in high-heat environments, direct flame, or applications where failure could cause injury or property damage.


6. Laser Engraved & Laser-Cut Products

Laser engraving and cutting can result in natural variations in color, depth, burning, and finish.

Because materials can vary, each item may have slight differences from product photos or previous orders.

Wood products may contain natural characteristics such as:

  • Knots
  • Grain variations
  • Color differences
  • Small imperfections

These natural variations are not considered defects.


7. Product Colors & Materials

Product colors shown on our website may vary depending on your device, monitor, lighting, or photography.

For 3D-printed products, the exact shade of a material may also vary depending on the filament or material available at the time of production.

We will make reasonable efforts to provide products in the color and material selected at checkout.


8. Product Dimensions

Dimensions listed on product pages are approximate unless otherwise stated.

Small variations may occur due to the manufacturing process.

If exact dimensions are important for your project, please contact us before placing your order.

9. Payment

Payment must be received before an order enters production unless other arrangements have been made in writing.

We reserve the right to cancel an order if payment cannot be processed or if there is an issue with the order information.


10. Production & Processing Times

Processing times may vary depending on the type and quantity of products ordered.

Custom products may require additional production time.

Estimated processing times do not include shipping or delivery time.

Unexpected circumstances, equipment problems, material shortages, or unusually high order volume may occasionally cause delays.

If a significant delay occurs, we will make reasonable efforts to notify you.


11. Shipping

Once an order has been shipped, delivery times are controlled by the shipping carrier and are outside of our control.

We are not responsible for delays caused by the shipping carrier, weather, incorrect addresses provided by the customer, or other circumstances outside our control.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address.


12. Damaged or Incorrect Orders

If your order arrives damaged, broken, or contains the wrong item, please contact us within 15 days of receiving your order.

Please provide photographs of:

  • The damaged product
  • The shipping box
  • The packaging
  • Any visible damage

Do not throw away the damaged product or packaging until we have provided further instructions.

For additional information regarding returns, replacements, and store credit, please see our Return & Refund Policy.


13. Returns & Refunds

Our return and refund policies are described in our Return & Refund Policy.

Because custom and personalized products are made specifically for the customer, custom orders may not be eligible for return simply because the customer changes their mind.

Please contact us before returning any product.


14. Product Use & Safety

Our products are intended to be used only for their intended purpose.

Customers are responsible for determining whether a product is appropriate and safe for their particular use.

Unless specifically stated otherwise, our products are not intended for:

  • Medical use

  • Child safety equipment
  • Food-contact applications

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, or commercially use our original designs without written permission.


16. Customer Photos & Finished Products

We may photograph finished products for quality control, marketing, social media, or website purposes.

We will not intentionally publish private customer information associated with an order without permission.

If you do not want your custom product photographed or used for promotional purposes, please notify us before production.


17. Right to Refuse an Order

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order when necessary, including but not limited to orders involving:

  • Copyright or trademark concerns
  • Designs that we believe are unlawful
  • Unsafe requests
  • Inappropriate content
  • Designs that cannot reasonably be produced
