Carbon may provide various content, products and services (including third party content, products and services) through our websites in which these Terms of Use are posted (the “Site(s)”) (the Site(s), together with its content, products and services provided by Carbon, are collectively referred to as the “Service”).

Please carefully read the following terms of use and all other rules and guidelines that we may communicate to you from time to time through the Service including the Privacy Policy https://carbon3d.com/privacy-policy/ which is incorporated herein by reference (collectively, the “Terms”), as these terms create a binding legal contract between you and Carbon. By accessing, using or availing yourself of the Service in any manner, you agree that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by and comply with the Terms. If at any time you do not agree to these Terms, you should immediately terminate any and all use of the Service.

No license or right to use any Product is provided unless separately purchased from Carbon subject to the applicable Carbon Product Agreement or through the Online Store made available through a Site (the “Online Store”). In the event that Carbon in its sole discretion provides samples of Products or use of the Products (“Samples”), all such Samples are provided subject to the following: (a) the Samples may be used solely for your personal, informational, noncommercial purposes; (b) the Samples may not be modified or altered in any way; and (c) the Samples may not be used or obtained for any of the prohibited uses described below; and (d) the Samples may not be redistributed.

3. Purchase Transactions; Errors. All descriptions, images, references, features, content, specifications, Products, and prices of Products and services described or depicted on the Service are subject to change at any time without notice. Certain descriptions are approximate and are provided for convenience purposes only. The inclusion of any Products on the Sites or Service does not imply or warrant that these Products will be available, or available in your region, or that they will perform as described. As with any manufacturing process, results may vary. When ordering a Product, you will provide the information that we request so that we can complete and ship the order, including your accurate name, address, email address and billing information.

If your credit card has already been charged for the purchase and your order is cancelled, Carbon shall issue a credit to your credit card account in the amount of the incorrect price. All fees are non-refundable. Any offer for any Product made is void where prohibited. Except for any Service, if any, provided for Products referenced in the Product Agreement by and between you and Carbon, Carbon offers no warranties of any kind, whether express, implied or statutory.
