Terms of Use for Inspirational Figures

Introduction

This document outlines the terms and conditions that apply to your purchase and use of our 3D-printed inspirational figures. By purchasing or using these products, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these terms.

Product Description

Inspirational Figures are resin models created using 3D printing technology. These figures serve as a blank canvas, allowing users to assemble, customize, and paint them. They are designed for adult collectors and are not intended for children. These models are sophisticated pieces intended for display and collection.

Age Restriction

All inspirational figures offered on this website are 18+ collector's models. These figures are not toys and are not suitable for children. They are intended for adult hobbyists who enjoy assembling, customizing, and painting detailed models. No certification is required, as these products are not marketed as toys and are solely for adult use. This is in compliance with the UK Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011, which stipulate that products not intended for children are exempt from toy safety certification.

Nature of the Product

Our inspirational figures are "blank canvases" that are designed to be customized by the user. These models are generic figures, carefully curated to enhance your creative experience. For instance, some of the figures included in our packs are developed in collaboration with Unit9, with whom we hold a commercial license Replicant v001 (Merchant Tier). As such, these figures comply fully with Unit9's commercial requirements, which include but are not limited to:

• Merchants must credit Unit9 as the Artist and link to their Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/unit9/posts.

• Merchants can sell printed models from Unit9 designs as long as they are subscribed to a Tier that provides a commercial license.

• Merchants may not sell or distribute Unit9's digital files or cast models in any material.

• Printed models may be sold painted or unpainted.
  

Assembly and Customization

The figures are provided unassembled and unpainted, allowing for a personalized and creative experience. They do not come with assembly or painting guides, and users are encouraged to approach the customization process with creativity. The figures are intended for individuals with the skill and patience typical of adult hobbyists.

Disclaimer of Liability

By purchasing and using our inspirational figures, you acknowledge the following:

1. No Warranty or Certification: These products are not certified as toys and are intended solely for adult use. As such, they do not require safety certifications applicable to children's toys or adults. Additionally, no certification is required because these figures and models are 3D-printed and created in a personalized manner for each customer. This exemption is in accordance with the General Product Safety Regulations 2005, which stipulate that products intended solely for adults are not subject to the same safety standards as those intended for children. Furthermore, Regulation (EC) No 765/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council, which sets out the requirements for accreditation and market surveillance relating to the marketing of products, also supports that products made on a bespoke or custom basis for individual consumers do not require conformity assessment marking (such as CE marking).

As personalized products, these figures are also exempt from certification under the Consumer Protection Act 1987, which distinguishes between general consumer products and items produced on an individual basis where standardized certification is impractical. The bespoke nature of these products means they are tailored to the specifications of the consumer, and therefore do not fall under the requirements for mass-produced goods.

Finally, under the Product Liability Directive (85/374/EEC), liability in respect to product safety for customized goods falls under different standards compared to standardized consumer goods, with an emphasis on informing the consumer of any risks. We have provided all necessary information for safe handling and use to mitigate any liability.

2. Product Nature: Inspirational figures are delicate and may require careful handling during assembly and customization. The models are made from resin, which, while durable, requires cautious handling to avoid damage. Under the Sale of Goods Act 1979, the purchaser is responsible for ensuring that they handle the product appropriately, given its nature as a collectible item.

3. User Responsibility: The responsibility for proper assembly, handling, customization, and use of these figures rests entirely with the purchaser. We do not accept liability for injuries or damages resulting from improper use of the models. This includes, but is not limited to, injuries caused by sharp edges, misuse of adhesives, or incorrect handling of the resin material. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 provides that liability for misuse or improper handling of a product rests with the consumer when adequate warnings and instructions are provided.

4. Return Policy: You have 15 days from the date of receipt to return the product if you are not satisfied. The product must be returned in the same condition in which it was received. This complies with the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, which provide consumers with the right to cancel and return items within 14 days. We extend this to 15 days to ensure customer satisfaction.

5. Production Time: Due to the personalized nature of these figures, production and delivery can take 3 to 4 weeks, depending on order volume. In rare circumstances, delays can extend up to 6 weeks. If a delay occurs beyond 6 weeks, customers may choose to receive a free inspirational figure or a full refund of the purchase amount as per our satisfaction guarantee policy. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, if goods are not delivered within the agreed timeframe, customers are entitled to a remedy, which we provide in the form of compensation or a refund.

6. No Casting or Resale of Digital Files: Customers are strictly prohibited from casting, reproducing, or reselling any digital files associated with the inspirational figures. All rights to the designs are retained by their respective creators. The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 protects the intellectual property rights of the creators, and any infringement of these rights will be pursued accordingly.

7. Health and Safety Warning: The resin used in our figures may pose certain health risks if not handled properly. It is recommended that users wear gloves and a dust mask when sanding or modifying the figures to avoid inhalation of resin dust or skin contact. This complies with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002, which require that adequate precautions are taken when handling potentially hazardous materials.

Guide for Assembling and Painting Inspirational Figures

Disclaimer

Please note that the process of assembling and painting your inspirational figures involves the use of tools, adhesives, and paints that may pose certain risks if not handled properly. By following this guide, you acknowledge that you are solely responsible for your own safety during the assembly and customization of your figures. The manufacturer and seller assume no liability for injuries or damages that may occur due to improper handling of sharp instruments, adhesives, paints, or any other tools used in the process. It is highly recommended that you follow all safety precautions and use protective equipment as needed.

Assembling Your Figure

1. Preparation: Set up a clean, well-lit workspace. Lay out all the parts and organize them based on their assembly sequence. This helps avoid confusion and ensures an efficient assembly process.

2. Dry Fitting: Before applying adhesive, practice fitting the pieces together to understand how they align. This step is crucial for preventing misalignment and ensuring a proper fit. Take your time to familiarize yourself with each part's position.

3. Adhesive: Use a high-quality superglue suitable for resin models. Apply a small amount to the joining surfaces, press the pieces together, and hold until the glue sets. Always work in a well-ventilated area and avoid direct contact with adhesives. If accidental skin contact occurs, follow the adhesive manufacturer's safety instructions.

4. Clamping: For parts that need extra time to bond, you can use clamps or tape to hold them in place while the adhesive dries. Ensure that the clamping pressure is even to prevent any damage to the model.

Safety Tips for Assembly

• Sharp Tools: The assembly process may involve the use of sharp tools such as hobby knives or cutters to remove excess resin or mold lines. Always cut away from your body and use a cutting mat to protect surfaces. Wear protective gloves to minimize the risk of injury.

• Adhesive Safety: Superglue can bond skin instantly. Use caution when applying adhesives, and consider wearing disposable gloves. In case of accidental bonding, follow the manufacturer's recommended procedure for safely separating bonded skin.

• Workspace Safety: Keep your workspace free of clutter to avoid accidents. Ensure that all tools are properly stored when not in use, especially sharp instruments.

Painting Your Figure

1. Priming: Apply a primer to ensure the paint adheres properly to the resin surface. Use a spray primer made specifically for plastic or resin, and apply in thin, even coats. Priming is essential for achieving a smooth and durable paint finish.

2. Base Coating: Once primed, start with your base colors. Acrylic paints are recommended due to their ease of use and quick drying times. Apply paint in thin layers to preserve the intricate details of the model.

3. Detailing: Use smaller brushes for detailed areas, adding depth and dimension to your figure. Techniques such as dry brushing or applying washes can help highlight textures and bring out the finer details.

4. Sealing: Once the paint is completely dry, apply a clear sealer to protect your work. You can choose between matte or gloss varnish, depending on the desired finish. Sealing helps protect the paint from chipping and enhances the longevity of your customized figure.

Additional Tips

• Take Your Time: Especially if you're new to assembling and painting models, patience is key. Rushing can lead to mistakes that may be difficult to correct.

• Practice First: If you're unsure about colors or painting techniques, practice on a spare part or an inconspicuous area of the figure. This will help build your confidence before applying paint to visible areas.

• Use Online Resources: There are numerous online tutorials, forums, and communities dedicated to model assembly and painting. These can be invaluable for learning new techniques and finding inspiration for your projects.

We strongly encourage all users to take the necessary safety precautions, including wearing protective gloves, masks, and eyewear, and to work in a well-ventilated area. Your safety is your responsibility, and by proceeding, you accept full liability for any risks involved.
