2. Exemptions:
Certain items are exempt from being returned, including gift cards and downloadable software products.

All engineering work is non-refundable and must be paid in full before services are rendered.

Please be aware that custom, bulk, or custom build orders, especially those not offered online, are specially tailored to your specifications and, as such, may not be cancelled once they have been placed. These orders are unique and created specifically for you or your organization, which means that once production begins, cancellation may not be possible.
