9. REFUND AND REPLACEMENT POLICY

1. We want you to be delighted with the 3D Mini Me shopping experience and recommend you read our Return, Refund and Replacement Policy carefully to ensure your transaction with us is satisfactory.
2. The nature of our products is that the products of 3D Mini Me are made to order, by the hands of professional and experienced craftsmen and -women. Each piece of art is non-mass produced and unique, in some cases 100% custom made. Each piece has therefore artistic value, the same way a painting or sculpture does.
3. The nature of our offering dictates our Refund and Replacement Policy. Refunds will only be granted to those claims presented within 7 days of receipt as determined by the track and trace data supplied by our forwarding partners.
4. 3D Mini Me holds the right to first re-produce and re-ship a new product once again to the Customer. It is to the discretion of 3D Mini Me to decide to refund the money to the Customer or send a new product.
5. Refunds and replacements may only be processed when the returned item has been received by us either by mail or e-mail (service[at]3dminime.com). We recommend that proof of dispatch is obtained in case of loss in transit (online or offline).
6. The refunded amount will only include the price of the figurine and will exclude all other charges including, but not restricted to, shipping, insurance and taxes. Items purchased at a discount will be refunded at the discounted price.
7. Please read the guidelines below to find out the details of refund and replacement eligibility:
   - Change of mind: Your 3D Mini Me is custom made as a one off, as per your order and has no commercial value except to the Customer who ordered the 3D Mini Me. As such, we do not offer refunds or replacements based on a client’s change of mind. In this respect, sales are final.
   - Order mistake: We strongly urge our Customers to review their order selection. Any amendments must be submitted in writing, and whilst we will always do our best to accommodate amendments, once your order has been received we cannot accept responsibility for incorrect details, misspelled words, wrong or incomplete delivery address etc. provided by the Customer.
8. No refunds or replacements will be made for wrongful choice of figurine type, body, colors or additional specifications.
   - Resemblance: Taste is personal and therefore not debatable. We cannot and do not guarantee a particular level of resemblance between the picture(s) our Customers upload and the figurine that our Customers receive. Therefore we do not offer refunds or replacements for complaints regarding the resemblance of the pictures versus the figurine you receive. The samples on our websites are a good predictor of the level of resemblance and quality you can expect.
   - Special Requests: We strongly recommend that our Customers refrain from special requests regarding their figurine which differ from the uploaded photos. Our processes mainly support our artists basing the figurine primarily on the photos provided. We therefore do not offer refunds or replacements based on missing considerations of this nature.
   - Damage: Damage can occur during packing and shipping. If your figurine suffers any breakage or scratching that will affect its esthetic value beyond repair, you are entitled to a replacement. This does not cover certain accessories such as earrings and very small pieces of hair which may fall of. It also does not include heads which detach from the body and are a matter of simple repair by the Customer.
   If you’re unsure whether your figurine’s damage applies for a replacement, please contact our Customer service via email (following all guidelines provided below) and enclose a photo of your figurine clearly showing the damage. We will not refund figurines damaged as a result of misuse.
   - Wrong Body: If your figurine has a correct head but a different body from the one you chose (pre-made) or the photos you provided (fully custom made), you are entitled to a replacement.
   - Wrong Specifications: If your figurine is manufactured with the wrong color of eyes (as provided by you on the ordering process) or a color of skin or hair that radically defers from the photos you provided, you are entitled to a replacement. 3D Mini Me reserves the right to challenge color resemblance on the basis of the photo quality that the Customer provides and to judge what constitutes a ‘radical’ difference.
   - Incorrect Supply: If we have made a mistake in fulfilling your order (incorrect quantity, address or excessive waiting time based on our guidelines), you are entitled to a replacement or a refund. In the case of goods that are loss in transit, a proof of dispatch will be required.
   All other claims will be dealt with on a case by case basis.
