* This visual summary serves as an introductory outline and does not supersede the full policy clauses detailed below.

1

General Principle

At SYNCCAD, we provide fixed-price CAD production services, including 2D CAD drafting, 3D CAD modeling, CAD conversion, technical drawings, reverse engineering, manufacturing drawings, 3D printing and laser cutting files, rendering, product visualization, and CAD technical support. We want our clients to have complete transparency regarding when an order can be cancelled and when a refund or service credit may be available.

Because SYNCCAD services involve dedicated digital production and engineering work, cancellation and refund eligibility depends on the stage of the project:

  • Before Production: Cancellation may generally be possible.
  • After Production Has Started: Cancellation and refund eligibility may be limited.
  • After Deliverables Have Been Completed: Refunds are handled according to the specific circumstances and applicable service terms.

Please note: Refunds are not automatically guaranteed and are evaluated in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.

2

Before Production Starts

If you request cancellation before SYNCCAD has initiated active production on your project, we will review the request and, where applicable, issue a refund according to the payment and service terms.

Any approved refund prior to the commencement of technical drafting may be subject to applicable payment processing fees or other permissible direct deductions where authorized by payment providers and relevant legislation.

3

After Production Has Started

Once CAD production has commenced, SYNCCAD allocates dedicated technical resources to deliver your work swiftly. Allocated resources typically include:

✓ CAD designer & 3D modeler hours
✓ Technical specification & prep review
✓ Computational & rendering software time
✓ Quality control & drafting checks

Because these production costs are incurred immediately, a full refund is generally not available once work begins. When a cancellation request is submitted during production, SYNCCAD will fairly review the amount of work already completed and determine whether a partial refund, service credit, or alternate resolution is appropriate.

4

After Delivery

Once agreed CAD deliverables and final project files have been completed and delivered, a refund is not automatically provided simply because of a change of mind.

However, customer satisfaction and engineering precision are foundational to our business. Customers should contact SYNCCAD promptly if:

  • The delivered files do not match the mutually agreed project scope;
  • An agreed deliverable, format, or view is missing;
  • There is a significant technical defect or discrepancy from agreed requirements;
  • The deliverables cannot reasonably be utilized according to the agreed project specifications.

In such instances, SYNCCAD will review the project and, where appropriate, provide a correction, revision, replacement deliverable, partial refund, credit, or other reasonable resolution.

5

Revision vs Refund

Our Standard Resolution Workflow

If delivered work does not meet the original agreed requirements, the standard and primary step is for our engineering team to review the issue and provide an appropriate correction or revision under your service terms. A refund is not the initial solution for normal technical revisions. If SYNCCAD cannot reasonably correct a material defect or fulfill the agreed scope, the project will be reviewed for an alternate remedy or refund.

6

Customer-Changed Requirements (Out-of-Scope Changes)

A modification of technical requirements or project scope after production has started does not constitute a defect or deficiency in our service. Examples of scope alterations include:

  • Modifying part dimensions, tolerances, or geometry;
  • Switching design style, aesthetic intent, or materials;
  • Adding new components, assemblies, or sub-assemblies;
  • Requesting additional file exports (e.g., STEP, IGES, DXF, DWG, STL) not in the original order;
  • Requesting supplemental technical drawings, exploded views, or rendering angles;
  • Submitting new or conflicting reference models or sketches after drafting began.

Such additions require additional modeling time and may incur reasonable supplemental fees. The customer will always receive notice and must approve any additional charges before supplemental work commences.

7

Customer Delays

Timely completion of CAD projects depends on responsive communication and accurate source assets. Delays in providing necessary files, dimensions, reference photos, milestone feedback, written approvals, or clarifications may postpone project delivery timelines.

If work cannot proceed due to missing inputs or pending customer confirmations, SYNCCAD may place the project on temporary hold until the required documentation is provided.

8

Duplicate Orders

If an identical order has been submitted more than once by mistake, please notify SYNCCAD immediately. If duplicate production has not yet commenced, SYNCCAD will promptly cancel the redundant order and process a full refund. If duplicate modeling work has already begun, the cancellation will be evaluated based on the work already completed.

9

Custom Projects

Bespoke engineering engagements, complex multi-part assemblies, reverse engineering workflows, and large-scale custom proposals may include individualized cancellation and refund terms. The specific quotation, proposal, or statement of work (SOW) agreed upon by both parties will supersede this general policy where explicitly noted. Customers are encouraged to review specific project terms prior to authorizing custom proposals.

10

Failed or Impossible Projects

If SYNCCAD determines that an order cannot reasonably be executed due to technical impossibility, corrupted or incompatible source files, unsolvable geometry clashes, or missing fundamental parameters, we will proactively contact you to establish an appropriate outcome.

Potential remedies evaluated depending on project specifics include:

• Requesting clarifying reference data
• Scope and deliverable adjustment
• Alternative export formats or workarounds
• Partial or full refund
• Replacement deliverable
• SYNCCAD service credit
11

Non-Refundable Circumstances

To ensure fair operational standards, refunds are not normally available under the following circumstances, subject to review where a bona fide service failure exists:

  • The customer changes their mind after production has substantially advanced or been concluded;
  • The request relates to deliverables or scope outside the agreed original order;
  • Inaccurate, incomplete, or flawed dimensions or specifications were supplied by the customer, and the delivered model faithfully reproduced that provided information;
  • The customer has already formally accepted and approved the final deliverables;
  • Supplemental work or iterations were performed that were not part of the initial package.
12

How to Request a Cancellation or Refund

Our cancellation and refund evaluation follows a five-step procedure:

STEP 1
Contact SYNCCAD Promptly: Reach out via email as soon as an issue or cancellation intent arises.
STEP 2
Provide Project Reference: Include your order ID, invoice number, and service title.
STEP 3
Detail Reason: Explain clearly the reason for cancellation, discrepancy, or refund request.
STEP 4
Status Review: SYNCCAD reviews production logs, resource allocation, and technical deliverables.
STEP 5
Resolution Confirmation: We confirm the outcome—whether revision, credit, partial refund, or full cancellation.

Information to Include with Your Request:

To avoid processing delays, please supply only relevant project details:

  • • Order number & project reference
  • • Customer name & company name
  • • Email address used during purchase
  • • CAD service title (e.g., 2D Drawing, 3D STEP)
  • • Clear explanation of the request, with screenshots or markup files where relevant
13

Refund Processing & Payment Processing Fees

Approved refunds will normally be credited back using the original payment method, or via an agreed alternative method where appropriate. The timeline for refunded balances to reflect in your bank account or payment statement depends upon the respective payment gateway, credit card issuer, or financial institution.

Payment Processing Fees: Where applicable and permitted by the payment provider and applicable law, payment processing charges may affect the amount returned to the customer. [Note: Subject to confirmation with active payment processor terms].
14

Fair Use, Chargebacks & Mandatory Consumer Rights

Abuse and Fraud Prevention

SYNCCAD maintains a fair operating environment and reserves the right to investigate suspicious, repetitive, or bad-faith claims, unauthorized payment reversals, or misrepresentation of project milestones.

Chargebacks & Direct Resolution

We strongly urge customers to contact our support team directly to resolve any project dispute, misunderstanding, or billing query prior to initiating a payment dispute. Customers nonetheless retain all statutory rights provided by their payment institution and applicable law.

Mandatory Consumer Protections

Nothing in this policy is intended to limit, exclude, or restrict any mandatory statutory rights, guarantees, or protections that may apply to you under applicable consumer law in your country of residence.

15
