VII. PRICE
The price quoted on the Site consists of the Manufacturing Fee, Author鈥檚 Fee, Delivery Fee, Service Fee, and additional taxes if applicable, and is shown in the currency selected by the Visitor.鈥疶he FacFox Service Fee for order processing can be chargeable from Manufacturers who execute orders. In this case, FacFox reserves the right to adjust prices for manufacturing services from the Manufacturer to the Customer through the Site so that the Manufacturer, after netting with FacFox, receives the amounts requested.
All prices are indicated in corresponding currencies. If the User does not choose to pay in the shown currency, the currency conversion will be handled by our payment service provider.
Because every Fee is denominated at a currency specified by the Author, the Manufacturer, Delivery Service and FacFox, FacFox reserves the rights to set prices in the currency specified by the Visitor using the exchange-rate or cross-rate at FacFox鈥檚 sole discretion.
The price quoted on the Site includes shipping costs, Sales Tax or VAT (if applicable) but excludes import duty or taxes if applicable. However, duty, tax and brokerage fees may be levied upon importation, depending upon the destination country of your order. Shipping charges indicated by us are only for the carriage of your order and do not include these additional charges. You may contact the customs authority of the destination country of your order to learn more about the applicable duties and taxes. The amount of the import tax is determined by the classification of the traded product, and this is done based on a code which will be indicated on the shipment document, which is known as an 鈥業ntrastate Code鈥. Combined import duty and tax are typically 5-20% of the total order value. In some cases, an additional brokerage fee may be levied by the carrier.
FacFox reserves the right to change the prices of the products and services shown in the gallery published on the Site, as well as the prices indicated for personalized orders, at any time.
VIII. CHOICE OF PRODUCT
By ordering a Product, the User confirms that the Product is not subject to any licensing restrictions, certifications, or any other regulations or rules that prohibit its production or use. The User shall be exclusively liable for any breach for any licensing restrictions, certifications, or other regulation or rules that prohibit its production or use. FacFox disclaims any liability foregoing.
When selecting Products, the Visitor acts at his/her own risk. FacFox, the Author, and the Manufacturer are not responsible for the choice of the Customer, fitness for purpose or expectations, the applicability of the product for any purpose, or the use of products in any region.
In order to improve User experience, we are trying to show every 3D Model in different colors; however, the images of 3D Model from certain angles may be in one color. The color of the finished product may differ by several shades from the color shown in the render, depending on screen resolution and settings. We ask that manufacturers set the colors of their materials as accurately as possible. However, the perception of color can be subjective and may differ from person to person.
To protect the intellectual property rights of designers, FacFox does not display the actual 3D Model in the 3D viewer. Instead, a 3D render that replicates the appearance of the 3D Model is generated for the User to demonstrate what the 3D Model looks like.
IX. ORDER
The Site detects the IP Address of the Visitor to determine the geographic location of the Visitor. This information is used to suggest Manufacturers that are close, or within proximity, to the Visitor’s physical location. The Visitor may easily change his/her location by specifying the name of the city where he/she is located.
An integral part of the order is 鈥渟pecification, including 3D models, CAD files, technical and technology specifications, documentation and requirements鈥, in terms above, if applicable.
The manufacturer is obliged to examine all attached documentation provided by the customer before confirming the order (or before submitting his own commercial proposal – accepted by the customer upon payment). Agreeing to the execution of the order, the manufacturer should take into account in his proposal and execute in production all the requirements laid down in the production documentation and other requirements attached by customer.
The list and content of production documentation, including 3D models, CAD files, specifications and accompanying documentation, is fixed at the time of payment (advance payment) of the order with the consent of all parties (the customer and the manufacturer).
Pick-up delivery is considered to be chosen unless otherwise specified by the delivery method.
In case pick-up delivery is chosen, the manufacturer provides the necessary packaging of the product in accordance with the attached documentation – or, in its absence, at their sole discretion.
In case pick-up delivery is chosen, unless otherwise agreed, the manufacturer prepares documents only for domestic transportation (when transportation of such goods required documentation).
After completion of production and before delivery or before allowing customer to pick up his order, the Manufacturer is obliged to perform internal acceptance of the Product according to the order documentation and the FacFox Quality Policy (refer Appendix A and Appendix B), and notify FacFox by sending the relevant materials (photo and/or video and/or acceptance and measurement records).
While browsing the Site, the Visitor may choose the 3D Model or KIT (a set of separate parts to be assembled). The 3D Model will be shown on the image in a material and color chosen by the Visitor. The Site will then try to find a manufacturer that can manufacture the 3D Model in that material and color.
The Site shows the cost to manufacture the chosen 3D Model and the list of available manufacturers that are nearby. This price will include the Author鈥檚 fee as well. The Visitor may select a manufacturer and proceed to checkout.
During the checkout process, the Site allows the Visitor to select a delivery method, including all the necessary information; at the final stage, the Site shows the total cost including all Fees and applicable Taxes.
The Visitor agrees to the Terms and Conditions, and pays for the Order using the chosen method.
FacFox sends the Order for execution to the Manufacturer that the Visitor has selected, identifying the material, color, and the cost of printing based on our calculation.鈥疘f the order does not explicitly stipulate otherwise, for some 3D printing technologies, when a solid model is printed instead of full internal filling, the manufacturer can use cellular, mesh or tree-like filling and supporting structures. If the order does not explicitly specify otherwise, the thickness of the wall and the percentage of infill are selected by the manufacturer.
FacFox reserves the right to reject the Order with or without explanations, and refund the money fully or partially to the Account from which it was paid, with or without compensation to the Author or the Manufacturer, by our sole discretion.
X. PAYMENTS AND BILLING
FacFox accepts payment via most credit and debit cards, including VISA, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, JCB, and Diners Club. PayPal is also supported. FacFox, at its sole discretion, can accept payment for orders by bank transfer. In this case, the specified payment method will be available for the customer in the choice of payment methods.
When the User authorizes a payment using credit/debit card, the payment is pending for a maximum period of 8 days. When the Order is accepted by the Manufacturer, these funds are transferred to our account and only then will the Order be processed. This process is managed by our payment solution partners Braintree and Stripe.
When the User authorizes a payment using Alipay, the funds are transferred to our account at the moment of authorization.
In the event that the Manufacturer cannot process your order, we will fully return your money back to your card or account.
In the event that we determine that the product is not of sufficient quality, we may fully or partially return the money back to your card or account based on guidelines of Purchase Protection Policy.
If the Manufacturer has accepted an order, but for some reason wants to cancel it, the Manufacturer must contact customer support to do so. If the Manufacturer cannot fulfill the order for any reason, FacFox may change the Manufacturer to complete the order. The customer must agree that chosen Manufacturer can be changed by FacFox when placing the order. If the customer does not agree to change the Manufacturer in the event that the Manufacturer cannot process the order, FacFox will return your money in full to the card or bank account that was used to place the order.
XI. DELIVERY
The Manufacturer may choose the Pickup delivery method if available.
The Manufacturer may choose the independent delivery services. In this case, the Manufacturer sets the price for delivery, and FacFox will include this price to the total cost for the Customer.
The Manufacturer may choose that he is willing to work with independent delivery services such as UPS, USPS etc. using FacFox integration if applicable.
In this case, FacFox sets the price for delivery at its sole discretion and includes this fee to the total cost for the Customer. It may not match the price of public usual delivery service, because at the time of ordering the exact parameters of the Product and possible services is not yet known and FacFox takes on the associated risks.
In this case, FacFox takes the Delivery Fee, finds and pays for the delivery service suitable at the time the 3D model has been manufactured, and provides the Manufacturer with the ability to print shipping labels for delivery.
Manufacturer shall pack Product for delivery if applicable.
XII. PURCHASE PROTECTION AND RETURN POLICY
FacFox allows the Customer to cancel their order and return money in full before the manufacturing process has started. After the manufacturing process has started, the Customer may not cancel their Order.
Since the product is custom made, we will refund the money only in the case of fault or defect of the Product; or in case of non-delivery of the Product within a reasonable time where delivery is part of the order, that is not in case pick-up.
FacFox reserves the rights to delay payment to the Author and the Manufacturer until the Customer confirms an acceptable quality of the Product.
If the Customer has not registered a complaint with FacFox within 7 days after the Product has been confirmed as delivered for orders placed directly on the website or through the widget, or within 21 days after the Product has been confirmed as delivered for orders from our API partners, FacFox assumes that the quality of the Product is acceptable. The customer can no longer open a dispute after the aforementioned time periods have elapsed.
After receiving the Product and prior to using it, the Customer must ensure its quality, in case the quality does not satisfy set requirements. The User must immediately let us know and attach photos of the Product and original packaging. FacFox will not refund any payments for Products that have been used. The User shall be ready to return the Product together with original packaging if we ask to do so. The Customer is responsible for returning the Product, including any shipping costs.
Upon the receipt of a complaint from the Customer, FacFox may terminate the Order and refund money to the Customer at its sole discretion. Alternatively, FacFox may request the Manufacturer to manufacture and deliver the Product once more at their own cost or use another solution to resolve the problem.鈥疻hen an official dispute has been opened by the customer for an order, FacFox will have access to, and be given consent to, read the dialogue for the order in dispute between the customer and the manufacturer to help find a resolution for the dispute.
FacFox reserves the rights to seek indemnification for damages from any party who violated this agreement.

Appendix A
Quality Policy for 3D Printing
3D Models are not considered defective if:
- There are visible lines, to the naked eye, from layers after printing.
- There are traces of surface treatment due to the support structures which were used during printing.
- The presence of thin filaments on the surface of the printed object.
- The internal structure can be visible through the glimpse of light.
- Traces of lines where the printer goes from one layer to the next layer.
- Visible distinct lines on the bottom surface of the 3D object.
- Unless otherwise specified, the positional accuracy ( the difference between positions of 3D printed part鈥檚 surface compared to the position of the 3D model’s surface) is not more than 0.5mm.
- The color of the product differs from the on-screen display of the 3D model within the limits of the norm for displaying a color through an electronic screen
3D Prints are considered to be defective if:
- Top surfaces are not closed properly or come out bumpy.
- Irregular circles: Circles come out misshapen and lines are not properly touching.
- Corners of the 3D Print lift and detach from the platform.
- Parts of the 3D Print shift along the X or Y axis.
- 3D Prints gradually lean over.
- Under extrusion.
- Parts of, or entire walls of the print are not fused and touching.
- The lowest parts of the print appear to shrink before reaching the proper dimensions.
- First layer not sticking / Parts are coming loose.
- Stringing: Unwanted strands of plastic span across the print.
- Waves/shadows appear in the print.
- Ugly overhangs: The lower surface of overhangs come out ugly.
- Lines are overly visible or spaced apart on the first layer.
- Very thin strands of plastic appear on the surface of the print.
- The resolution, infill and wall thickness stipulated by the customer are not met
Post-processing rules of 3D prints:
- Despite the fact that 3D printing parts are produced from the filament using FDM-technology, the surface of the final product cannot be expected to be perfectly smooth. To improve it, the following methods are suggested:
- Print with the highest resolution possible for the printer (For example, the resolution of the Ultimaker鈥檚 2 is 20 microns – 0.02 mm). The final 3D Print will be the smoothest one, but such settings may result in different printing defects and significantly lengthen the time of printing.
- Post-processing. The surface can be smoothed out by sanding it with sandpaper or refining it with a needle-file, however, you should be cautious.
- Treatment with different solvents. The surface can be smoothed out perfectly by using solvents, such as acetone for ABS-plastic or Dichloromethane for PLA-plastic (relatively toxic). The Model can be dipped into a container with a solvent or treated with the vapor.
- However, it is important to keep in mind that solvents can dissolve the outer layers of the 3D Model more than is necessary, thus ruining it.
- Keep in mind that when working with solvents one has to be extremely careful.鈥 All work must be carried out in a well-ventilated room.鈥 Also, one should use safety equipment to protect eyes, respiratory organs, and skin.
Rules for model Authors to have printable 3D Models:
- Thin elements
When printing thin elements, the following should be considered:- The size of the thinnest elements should not be smaller than the diameter of the nozzle of the printer. Otherwise, these elements would not be printable.
- The wall thickness (including the upper and lower walls) of 3D Print should exceed the height of a single layer by at least 2-3 times (ideally by 4-6 times). If the wall thickness is smaller, the strength of the walls significantly reduces and there may be visible gaps between the layers.
- When performing the post-processing procedure of small parts one should remember they may become less visible or disappear altogether. Treating such small parts must be done with great caution.
- It is difficult for some Slicers (Cura) to build support structures for small parts. This problem can be avoided by increasing the density of building support structures, or by using several slicers to generate support structures.
- The level of detail of the model deteriorates with its decreasing size when scaling. Some elements of the model are well reproduced when the size of the Model is large, while the same elements cannot be printed as well on a smaller version, that is why they should be deleted or modified. It is necessary to pay great attention when preparing for printing all models subjected to scaling.
- What to do with support structures
- Support structures are necessary for printing elements of the model that are overhanging.
- One can print without support structures with the angle of no more than 60-70 degrees. Keep in mind print quality may decrease slightly.
- The number of support structures can be reduced by simply placing the model at a different angle. For example, a flat object lying on the horizontal plane of the table will be printed a lot faster than standing vertically.
- In some cases, one can print without any support structures, simply by dividing the model into several parts.
- Keep in mind that support structures can ruin the appearance of the 3D model surface, so it is better to place the model at such an angle that support structures would be created in places that are not visible, or in such places that can be easily treated or removed.
- Reducing the number of support structures will contribute to a better printing process. It will reduce the amount of filament required for printing and time, thus reduce its cost.
- Positioning relative to the print table glass
- When positioning the 3D Model relative to the working surface of the printer the following should be considered:
- Changing the angle can significantly reduce (or increase) the amount of support structures required to build the 3D Model. For example, the overhanging element of the 3D Model can be avoided by placing the vertical Model horizontally.
- The strength of the 3D Model can be increased by placing the model so that the area with the greatest load are arranged perpendicular to the printed layers, and not parallel to them.
- The quality of the pattern with circle elements can be increased by placing the 3D Model so that it is printed horizontally. In some cases, the circles of the vertical seal can lead to their deformation (instead of circular holes 鈥 ellipses will be obtained).
- The size of the 3D Model
When selecting the size of the Model the following should be considered:- 鈥疶he maximum size of the Model for any 3D printer is usually determined by its build volume (for example, the build volume for the Ultimaker 2 is 230x225x205 mm).
- 鈥疘t is possible to print a larger size Model if the Model is divided into several parts (each of which can be placed in the build volume), and print them separately and connect or glue them together.
- The printer does not print objects thinner than the diameter of the nozzle. In other words, the minimum size of the Model should not be less than the diameter of the nozzle. To ensure the strength and stability of the structure, the optimum thickness of the walls of any Model should be 2-3 times the diameter of the nozzle.
Packaging standards:
- Use sturdy and undamaged boxes with all flaps intact.
- Use double-wall boxes for heavier items.
- Wrap items individually with cushioning material and center them in cartons away from other items and away from the sides, corners, top, and bottom of the box. Use adequate cushioning material.
- Place items that might be damaged by normal handling, such as soiling, marking, or application of adhesive labels, in a protective outer box.
- Use fillers to fill void spaces and prevent movement of goods inside the box during shipping.
- Use the H taping method for sealing your package. Close and tape the inner box using the H taping method. This will help prevent accidental opening.
- Restrict product movement inside the box using filler like crumpled newspaper, loose fill peanuts, or other cushioning material.
- Ship fragile products individually, wrapping them in a minimum 3″ thickness of air-cellular cushioning material.
- Fill any void spaces with more cushioning material.
- Wrap all items separately
- Use strong tape designed for shipping
- Use a single address label that has clear, complete delivery and return information
If you have any questions regarding a possible printing defect, please contact us using the contact form with a good quality image of the 3D Print attached.
Appendix B
Quality Policy for CNC Machining
The accuracy of reproduction are defined by following the requirements stated in the order, including:
- Use of the agreed material
- Matching of form, dimension, tolerance and fits. Measurements are made under normal conditions.
- Required surface finish (lay/roughness/waviness)
- In the presence of standard elements (threads etc.), their implementation in accordance with the specified standard
- Use of specified mode of processing/cutting and post processing, if applicable
Products are not considered defective if:
- There are deviations in the size or shape of the part, within the required 芦accuracy of reproduction禄 as defined above
- There are technological traces (circles and lines) on the surface of the product, within the required 芦accuracy of reproduction禄, unless otherwise specified
Products are considered to be defective if:
- 芦Accuracy of reproduction禄 is not respected, including: the presence of unintended elements or the absence of specified ones, violation of dimensions, angles and tolerances, incorrect implementation of standard elements.
- Disturbances in the structure and properties of the material, cracks and fracture of the material, caused by incorrect processing of the material (burn-out, annealing), incl. ones from overheating of the instrument
The difference in approach:
- For “art products”, where the artistic expression is of primary importance, the author may not indicate the exact values of the tolerances. Then the manufacturer can select processing modes to observe the necessary artistic impression. If it expects inaccuracies of the form that exceed the “accuracy of processing by this manufacturer of this material by default”, then the manufacturer must inform the customer about this before the order is confirmed, and get a direct agreement.
- For engineering products, where it is important to interface with other parts and the exact properties of the resulting part, the author is required to accurately indicate the form, dimensions, tolerances, fits and finishes necessary for him – and from the manufacturer, compliance with all these instructions is required if the order is to be complied with.
Default Accuracy:
- Unless otherwise specified explicitly in the order, the manufacturer makes the product with an accuracy determined by the manufacturer and shown to the buyer at the time of the order as “the default accuracy for this material”
- The accuracy of maintaining the shape for art objects may be less than the “default accuracy”, with the consent of the customer.
Recommendations for the author and the customer:
- Different manufacturers use different software products. In order to avoid misunderstanding due to errors of importing and converting file formats, it is recommended to attach to the order a drawing in pdf format or similar, on which to indicate all the necessary tolerances, fits and surface finishes.
- If you need a special procedure for acceptance, post-processing or flaw detection of the resulting product, you must specify this explicitly in the order.
- If you need to comply with certain standards, technical conditions and regulation requirements, you must explicitly indicate this in the order.
- When reconciling, an accurate and unambiguous indication of the scope of work in the final proposal for the execution of the order is required. For example, if you need to assemble the structure using the attached assembly drawing, you must explicitly indicate this in the order.
- You must specify the units (millimeters or inches), if the file format used does not support the storage of the unit of measurement.
Technology recommendations:
- When designing, it is recommended to take into account the technological capabilities of CNC equipment.
- It will be easier to find performers if the shape of the part allows you to process all necessary surfaces with a typical common tool. The shape of such a surface can be obtained by processing with a typical tool, and the shape of the part will allow you to reach the surface to be treated with such a tool. Complex three-dimensional surfaces often require a specific tool or a lot of time for processing.
- If you can design the parts in such a way that the weight of the stock is smaller, that the machine needs to take less material, less often to change the tool, it is not so often to re-fix the part – then on average the production of the parts will be cheaper.
- Note that particularly thin elements, depending on the shape, can flex under the cutting tool. Such elements require special care during processing – and as a consequence, considerably slow down and increase the cost of production; do not use them unnecessarily.
Rules of post-processing:
- The manufacturer is obliged to perform those postprocessing in the modes specified in the order creation.
Packaging standards:
- For pick-up orders, the manufacturer packages the product at his own discretion, unless otherwise specified in the order conditions.
- If the delivery is part of the order, the manufacturer is responsible for the quality of the packaging. In the event that the product is damaged during transport due to unsufficient packaging, the manufacturer must produce and ship the product again, or return the money to the customer.
- Use sturdy and undamaged boxes with all flaps intact. Use double-wall boxes for small items, and rigid crate for heavier items. Shipments that qualify as freight must be packaged accordingly.
- Wrap items individually with cushioning material and center them in box away from other items and away from the sides, corners, top, and bottom of the box. Use adequate cushioning material.
- Place items that might be damaged by normal handling, such as soiling, marking, or application of adhesive labels, in a protective outer box.
- Use the H taping method for sealing your carton package. Close and tape the inner box using the H taping method. This will help prevent accidental opening. Use fillers to fill void spaces and prevent movement of goods inside the box during shipping. Restrict product movement inside the box using filler like crumpled newspaper, loose fill peanuts, or other cushioning material. Ship fragile products individually, wrapping them in a minimum 3″ thickness of air-cellular cushioning material. Fill any void spaces with more cushioning material. Wrap all items separately. Use strong tape designed for shipping
- For freight shipments You must package your shipments to allow for stacking of other packages on top of your shipment. Make sure your freight shipments are banded and stretchwrapped to the pallet, with the bands running in both directions. Make sure that all single-piece cargo greater than 68 kg (150 lbs.) is banded on all sides with heavy-duty metal or break-resistant plastic banding
- Use a single address label that has clear, complete delivery and return information
- If you have any questions regarding a possible manufacture defect, please contact us using the contact form with a good quality image of the Product attached.
Preparation of customs and transport documentation:
- For pickup orders, the manufacturer prepares domestic transport documentation if the transport of such goods requires documentation, and unless otherwise specified.
- For orders with delivery, the manufacturer prepares the necessary transport documentation for delivery. If the delivery is international, the export customs documentation required for dispatch is also being prepared. Customs declaration on the recipient’s side is the responsibility of the recipient, unless otherwise agreed.
Time Limits:
- Time required for production (unless otherwise specified in the order) are calculated according to the working hours based on the time of writing the control program, setting up the equipment and the time for the required machining of all parts with all tools, taking into account the required accuracy and quality, with a reasonable margin.
