Terms & Conditions

1. Scope

These terms govern the provision of 3D printing, custom design and modelling, and prototyping services, and the sale of 3D printed products, offered by Formada3D, a sole trader based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

2. Ordering Process

  1. The customer requests a quote via the website contact form or email
  2. Formada3D sends a detailed quote — normally within 24 hours — including materials, lead times, and pricing
  3. For custom design and modelling work, a $20 AUD quote deposit applies; this deposit is credited in full toward the final order
  4. The customer accepts the quote and makes payment (full or partial as applicable)
  5. Production and delivery commence

3. Prices

All prices are shown in Australian dollars (AUD) unless otherwise stated. Quotes are valid for 15 calendar days from the date of issue.

4. Delivery Times

Delivery times depend on the complexity of the project and will be communicated in the quote. Typical lead times are:

  • Standard parts: 3–5 business days
  • Custom projects: 5–10 business days
  • Complex prototypes: according to project scope

5. Shipping

We ship Australia-wide from Melbourne. Shipping costs will be specified in the quote or at checkout. Local pickup in Melbourne is available at no additional cost.

6. Consumer Guarantees — Australian Consumer Law

Our goods and services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with a product, you are entitled to a replacement or refund, and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. If a failure does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have it fixed within a reasonable time — and if it is not fixed, to a refund or replacement. Nothing in these terms limits those rights.

7. Change-of-Mind Returns

In addition to your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, we accept change-of-mind returns within 30 days of delivery for standard (non-personalised) products, provided the item is unused and in its original condition. Return shipping for change-of-mind returns is at the customer's expense.

Change-of-mind returns are not available for personalised or custom-made items (such as custom letters, custom designs, or parts printed to the customer's specifications or from customer-supplied files). Your Australian Consumer Law rights for faulty items still apply in full to custom orders.

8. Intellectual Property of Designs

Designs and files provided by the customer remain their property and responsibility. By submitting a file, the customer warrants that they have the right to have it printed. Formada3D is not liable for any intellectual property infringements related to designs supplied by customers.

9. Complaints

For any complaints, please contact us at [email protected]. We commit to responding within a maximum of 30 days. You may also contact Consumer Affairs Victoria or the ACCC for consumer matters.
