However, contracts concluded on the basis of previous terms and conditions remain unaffected but you have to prove the terms which are applicable.

Usage of the service

You are solely responsible for 1) providing true, accurate, current and complete information about you as prompted in the Site account details section and 2) maintaining and promptly updating account information to maintain its accuracy, currency and completeness.

Ordering process

The ordering process happens as follows : you select the model you would like to download or be reproduced by 3Btrain. For reproduced models you choose the address where the model must be delivered; you have a view of the order and the costs (production, delivery, and other taxes when applicable); you choose the payment manner and execute the payment and confirm the order. Before paying, you have the possibility to go back in the process (clicking the “back” button) if you see that a mistake has been made and you would like to modify it.

You must ensure that the information you submit in your order is accurate and complete before paying it, because afterwards it is impossible to bring any modification because the production starts immediately. Should it not be the case, modifications will be allowed in so far it has been agreed by 3Btrain in writing.

When you place an order, you make an offer to us to buy a product. After you have placed an order, we will send you an e-mail confirming your order details. This confirmation means that a binding agreement will exist between us, except if there is an inability to process orders, which you shall be informed within two weeks after filing your order.

3Btrain may, at any time during the ordering and the manufacturing process, revoke and/or cancel any quotation/order, if there are technical reasons to do so. In such case, 3Btrain will reimburse you all monies paid.

3Btrain maintains records of orders and allow you to have access to it. 3Btrain recommends that you keep a printed copy of these terms and conditions as well as a copy of the order confirmation and invoice.

Price – Payment

The price calculated by 3Btrain contains the cost for the services rendered by 3Btrain, the manufacturing of the product and the shipment of the product, as well as taxes when applicable. There is no insurance. Other duties and taxes applicable for the delivery of the product, even if not mentioned in the invoice sent by 3Btrain, will be paid by you.

Payments are handled by online payments systems independent of 3Btrain. By using these payment methods, you agree to the terms and conditions of the payment systems. The price is calculated in United States dollars (USD). Payments may be accepted in other currencies, but are converted to USD at rates provided by the online payments systems.

3Btrain reserves the right to refrain from production or to terminate a delivery, as long as the outstanding invoices remain unpaid.

Term of delivery – Risk of transport

For downloadable 3D files, you will receive a download link after payment has been confirmed.

For physical products, each order requires custom production. The average time required to produce a model is about 10 working days. This is a preliminary indication, but does not bind 3Btrain in any way. The actual delivery time is determined by a number of circumstances, for example (but not included to) working conditions applicable at the time the agreement is concluded, on the punctual delivery of the materials ordered by 3Btrain for the execution of the order.

Should your payment details be incorrect, the delivery will be postponed until the correct information is received from you.

3Btrain uses its discretion in selecting a reputable carrier and appropriate means of delivery. All risks during transport are borne by you.

Inspection – Returns – Replacements – Refunds

Since the physical products are made immediately on the basis of your specifications, there is no right to return or possibility of cancelling your order within a certain period of time.

Upon delivery of the product, 3Btrain expects that you inspect the product. Because of production reasons (different print orientation, composition of materials, handling…), there may be minor visual differences between multiple copies of one model as well as minor defects. These are normal occurrences from 3D printing.

If, upon inspection, you feel that the product is not the correct model you ordered, you should contact us as soon as possible and at the latest 14 days after your receipt of the product. In the case that you omit to exercise this control or decide to use a non-conforming product, you dismiss 3Btrain from any liability for the possible consequences of the usage of this product.

You should not return products without having received an explicit request from 3Btrain to do so.

3Btrain reserves the right to revoke and/or modify (part of) a quotation and/or order confirmation for technical reasons. The liability of 3Btrain vis-à-vis you for real and proven damage will, regardless the gravity of the failure, be limited to the price of the product directly related to the reason of the claim. All other liability of 3Btrain, such as for consequential loss, other indirect loss and loss as a result of third party liability, is excluded.

Internet communications are capable of data corruption and therefore 3Btrain does not accept any responsibility for changes made to such communications after their dispatch. It may therefore be inappropriate to rely on information/advise contained in an e-mail without obtaining written confirmation of it. 3Btrain does not accept responsibility for any errors or problems that may arise through the use of Internet communication and all risks are borne by you.
