The product(s) will be your responsibility from the completion of delivery. You own the product(s) once we have received payment in full, including all applicable delivery charges.

If a delivery is refused and a redelivery needs to be arranged this will incur an additional cost per order per failed attempt.

Right of Return & Refund under Consumer Contracts Regulations

If you are a consumer, you have a legal right to cancel a contract during the period set out below. This means that during the relevant period, if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to keep a CREAT3D product, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the contract and receive a refund, provided you have taken reasonable care of the Products and not used them.

However, this cancellation right does not apply in the case of any made-to-measure or custom-made products, special order parts, sealed audio, video and software products once unsealed, goods once they have been inseparably mixed after delivery, products made to your specification or clearly personalised for you.
Your legal right to cancel a contract starts from the date of the Dispatch Confirmation, which is when the contract between us is formed.

We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction.
We will process the refund due to you within 14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied, or 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods, or if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract. Upon cancellation of a contract, any ancillary contract is automatically cancelled.
If the product(s) were delivered to you, you must return them to us within 14 calendar days. If the product(s) require collection, we will collect them from the address that they were delivered to and contact you to arrange a suitable time for collection. Unless the product(s) are faulty or not as described, you will be responsible for the cost of returning the products to us or the cost of collection, where applicable. Until they are returned or collected, you have a legal obligation to keep the product(s) in your possession and to take reasonable care of them whilst in your possession.
