Agreement of Services
You (the customer) are required to promptly pay the invoice. Failure to do so will incur a delay in the printing process. Total failure in providing payment will result in the termination of your order. Payments made post-printing can only be arranged for prints quoted at under $40AUD.
Modification to Order Post Printing
In the event that a part(s) is modified after the conclusion of printing, Gold Coast 3D Printing reserves the right to deliver the product originally requested. An additional charge will be incurred for the reprinting of models issued by the seller.
Prototyping
Whilst we aim to try produce the most accurate prototype, it's unlikely that it will be perfect first go and it will require many iterations to reach the final prototype. With this in mind, customers who request bulk printing of an initial prototype that does have the correct dimensions, function or aesthetical appearance will not be provided with a replacement or refund.
Order Delays and Failed Prints
In the event of a high volume of orders, Gold Coast 3D printing reserves the right to delay the originally quoted time by a maximum of 2 weeks per model. If a print failure is to occur, Gold Coast 3D Printing is solely responsible for any losses and we will accommodate for it at no extra charge to the customer.
