6.Order, Pricing and Fee Policy

Market conditions and competitive pressures may cause prices and availability of products, applications and services offered on this website to change without further notice. Additionally, although great care is taken in the production of the www.3dcompare.com website, typographical, illustrative or pricing errors may occur. We reserve the right to correct errors at any time

All prices quoted are payable in the pound sterling (GBP) and, unless otherwise stated.

6.1 Placing an order. To order the 3D Model you designed or another 3D Model you found through our Services, you select the 3D Model. Then you can select the quantity of the 3D Model you order and the material you want the 3D Model to be made of. As the next step, we ask you to provide us with information we need for the delivery of the 3D Model. Finally you will be prompted for information required to initiate the payment. Depending on the payment method you select you may be redirected to a third party payment provider website. Please be informed that the language to be used during the whole ordering process is English.

6.2 Unacceptable orders, cancellation of orders by us.  There are, however, technical or other reasons why 3Dcompare.com may not accept or may cancel your order during the entire ordering process, even after our acceptance of your order. Such reasons can be, but are not limited to, the unfeasibility of the model, an infringing feature of your 3D Model, or the destination of the delivery you indicated in your order. In case we cancel your partial or entire order, we many contact you via email and, except in cases of fraud or other violations of our policies, issue you a full refund for the cancelled item(s).

6.3 Prices. The prices displayed on the Website are only indications and are valid only for the moment that they are displayed. 3Dcompare.com reserves the right to change its prices on the website at any time without prior notice to you. Such change however will have no effect on orders completed before the posting of a new price on the website. We do our best to prevent errors in the pricing. However, should an error occur, we are not bound by our offer and may cancel the order. In the event of an error, any monies paid related to that order will be refunded to you.

6.4 Payment and price. The amount indicated on the ordering page includes the fee for the service (such as printing and packing the model), the price for the materials used to produce the 3D Model, and, if applicable, the markup charged by the designer. The price quoted on the Website includes shipping costs, sales tax (if applicable) but excludes any import duty or taxes (if applicable). 3Dcompare.com offers estimated currency conversions as a courtesy to users.  These estimates are not guaranteed and may not reflect actual currency conversation rates.  If you pay in a currency that is different from the denominated currency of your payment method (which is probably the case if your bank or credit card account is not denominated in U.S. Dollars, Euros, pounds sterling), your payment company (such as your credit or bank card issuer) or third-party payment processor may apply a currency conversion rate or fees to your payment.  Please contact your provider for information about these fees.  These fees are not controlled by or known to 3Dcompare.com.`
You can initiate your payment for your order via credit card, PayPal.com, or bank transfer. If you choose to pay using PayPal you will be directed to the PayPal.com website. In case you choose to pay by bank transfer you will receive the payment instructions via email from 3Dcompare.com after confirmation of your order.
3Dcompare.com shall not be responsible in any way for the payment process done via the PayPal.com website. Please familiarize yourself with PayPal’s terms of use.
For orders paid for via credit card or PayPal, 3Dcompare.com will begin production after authorizing and holding payment.  For orders paid for via bank transfer, 3Dcompare.com will begin production after the funds arrive in the 3Dcompare.com bank account.

6.5 Acceptance After accepting your order we will send you an order confirmation by e-mail to the address associated with your 3Dcompare.com Account. The order confirmation will be effective as of the date on which the order confirmation is sent to you. If we cannot accept your order we will contact you by email. You should verify the details in the confirmation email. If there are errors you should contact us as soon as possible by sending us an email.

6.6 Order Tracking Through the Website or – if you choose so – via e-mail notifications, you can track the status of your order e.g. accepted order, produced, Shipping, delivered etc.

6.7 Shipping Your order will be delivered to your shipping address. We deliver to multiple countries. You can only select those countries as your shipping address during the ordering process. We will use our commercially reasonable efforts to ship the 3D Model to the shipping address within the delivery time indicated in our confirmation email; nevertheless, depending on your shipping address it may take longer time. Any shipping and delivery dates given by us are only best estimates and we are not liable for any damage or cost caused by delay in shipping or delivery. Title and risk of loss is transferred to you upon transfer of the goods from 3Dcompare.com to the shipment carriers.

6.8 Cancellation of your order, return of 3D Models.  Due to the personalized nature of our Services (i.e. the 3D Model is supplied by us based on your specifications), you cannot cancel your order after it goes into production. Additionally, except where required by law we are not able to refund purchases of a “Gift Card” or a “Sample Kits” at any point. Orders that contain non-refundable items are still cancelable, however note that refund or cancellation will not apply to items in the order that are non-refundable.

6.9 Content Policy violations. If we determine that your model violates our Content Policy prior to printing, we will refuse to print the model and issue a refund. If we determine that your model violates our Content Policy after it has been printed, we will not ship the model and may not issue you a full refund.

The Company reserves the right to limit, reject, correct, cancel or refuse Orders, and to terminate accounts, in its discretion, including, without limitation, if the Company believes that customer conduct violates applicable law or is harmful to the interests of the Company or any Third Parties.
