1. Ordering

(a) Placing an order. To order a service from SoMuchIP you’ll need to contact us via our contact form on the website or by other means such as email or phone. Explain the service you require and, provide your specification and a 3D model for 3D printing or modelling services. For 3D printing we accept .stl or .obj file formats. Once you submit this information we’ll review it and respond to the email address you’ve provided. In our response email you’ll find a either an initial price indication as a basis for further discussion around your requirements and budget or final price quotation containing a PayPal button with a link that will direct you to the Paypal’s Website to process you payment if you choose to go ahead placing an order based on this quote. Please be informed that the language to be used during the whole ordering process is English.

(b) Unacceptable orders, cancellation of orders by us. If you receive an email from us with a final price quote, the default assumption is that your 3d model can be produced or 3d printed. There are, however, technical or other reasons why SoMuchIP 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 will 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).

(c) Prices. The prices and price estimations displayed on the Website or in our Quotation email are only indicative. SoMuchIP 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 final price quotations while still within its valid period or 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 money paid related to that order will be refunded to you.

(d) Payment and price. The amount indicated on the quotation email is in AUD (Australian Dollars) and 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 any additional services that you may have requested. The price quoted will includes shipping costs, sales tax (if applicable) but excludes any import duty or taxes (if applicable). 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 Australian. Dollars), 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 SoMuchIP.

You can initiate your payment for your order via PayPal.com. When paying using PayPal you will be directed to the PayPal.com website using the provided payment link in the quotation email from SoMuchIP.

(e) Acceptance After accepting your order we will send you an order confirmation by e-mail to the address provided by you to SoMuchIP. 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 an email to customer service.

(f) Order Tracking Where applicable we will provide you with a tracking number for your parcel containing you order. This tracking number will be emailed to you once your order has been produced, packaged and shipped to your designated address.

(g) 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 SoMuchIP to the shipment carrier.

(h) 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 at any point.

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