Below are the terms and conditions for using products from 3DShoemaker:
3D Prints Ordering Policies
Our shoe lasts and components are intended to be used by experienced shoemakers or those under the guidance of experienced shoemakers. Our products are 3D printed and the strength and other properties may differ from shoe lasts and components produced by more conventional means. Components in particular should be considered as experimental products and used with caution. By using our products, you agree to assume responsibility for any harm or damage that may occur during their use or from use of the footwear manufactured with them.
All of our shoe lasts and components are manufactured on demand, as orders come in. Orders may only be cancelled if work on the order has not yet begun, and may be subject to a 2% credit card processing fee. Return funds are usually received within 1-2 weeks but may take up to 6 weeks for large orders. Shipping within North America usually takes less than a week and outside North America is 1-3 weeks. But there can be shipping delays, particularly around the holidays. We do not provide refunds for delayed shipments. We do however provide full refunds for lost shipments. A shipment is considered lost only if one month has passed and it has not arrived. Lost shipments are extremely rare.
If we have made a mistake with your order, such as sending the wrong shoe last design or size, we will ship you the correction free of charge. Do note that sizing may not be consistent with any given shoe manufacturer as there is considerable inconsistency in the industry. That is why we provide the option to view all shoe last measurements for standard sizes directly on the ordering form for any given shoe last and insole patterns can be found here. It is up to the customer to decide if the shoe last is the correct size and returns/exchanges/refunds are not provided if the wrong size is ordered. For fit issues on bespoke orders, we provide one round of adjustments for free though we ask that you cover the shipping costs. Further adjustments are done at the base price of the shoe last.
On very rare occasions (less than 1% of orders), a shoe last may break. If this occurs within one year of purchase, we will replace (not refund) the broken shoe last. This is a one time courtesy we provide given we expect the customer to learn to work with our shoe lasts within the limits of the materials. Please note that this refund for a broken shoe last does not extend to shoe lasts ordered with the ~2mm wall thickness for light use.
