3D Printed Parts Terms

3D-Printed Automotive Parts Disclaimer & Terms of Service

Governing Law: Idaho

Warden Auto is a trade name and brand operated by Poltavskiy Investments LLC, an Idaho limited liability company ("Seller").

1. Manufacturing Process & Quality Expectations

All products sold by Seller are manufactured using additive manufacturing (3D printing) processes and are not injection-molded, cast, or OEM-manufactured parts.

Seller strives to produce the highest-quality 3D-printed parts possible using professional equipment, reinforced materials such as ABS-GF (glass-fiber-reinforced ABS), and optimized production methods. However, due to the inherent nature of 3D printing, the following characteristics are normal, unavoidable, and expected:

  • Visible layer lines
  • Minor surface texture variations
  • Small cosmetic imperfections or internal voids
  • Slight visual differences between individual prints

These characteristics do not constitute defects.

2. Material & Structural Limitations

While ABS-GF provides improved rigidity, heat resistance, and durability compared to standard consumer filaments:

  • 3D-printed parts do not possess the same isotropic strength, density, or fatigue resistance as injection-molded or OEM components.
  • Performance may vary depending on print orientation, installation location, environmental exposure, and vehicle use.
  • Long-term durability under heat, vibration, UV exposure, or mechanical stress cannot be guaranteed.

By purchasing, the buyer acknowledges and accepts these material and structural limitations.

3. Intended Use – Off-Road Use Only

All products sold by Seller are aftermarket components intended for off-road use only.

Seller makes no representation, warranty, or guarantee that any product:

  • Is street legal
  • Meets Department of Transportation (DOT) standards
  • Complies with federal, state, or local vehicle regulations
  • Is approved for use on public roads

The buyer is solely responsible for determining legal compliance before installation or use on any vehicle operated on public roadways. Use of any product on public roads is at the buyer's sole risk.

4. Installation & Assumption of Risk

All products are sold AS IS.

The buyer assumes full responsibility for:

  • Proper installation
  • Vehicle compatibility
  • Safe operation and use of the product

Professional installation is strongly recommended.

Seller shall not be liable for any vehicle damage, personal injury, property damage, mechanical failure, or consequential/incidental losses arising from installation, use, misuse, or inability to use the product.

5. No Warranties

NO WARRANTIES

To the fullest extent permitted under Idaho law, Seller disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, including but not limited to:

  • Implied warranties of merchantability
  • Implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose
  • Any warranty arising from course of dealing, usage, or trade

No oral or written statements made by Seller shall create a warranty of any kind.

6. Returns, Refunds & Shipping Damage

Due to the custom and additive nature of 3D-printed products, all sales are final, except in cases of verified shipping damage.

Shipping Damage Claims

To qualify for a replacement or refund:

  • Seller must be notified within 48 hours of delivery.
  • Clear photographs of both the damaged product and shipping packaging must be provided.
  • Buyer must cooperate fully with the shipping carrier's claims process.

Please note:

  • Refunds or replacements will only be issued after carrier claim approval.
  • Refunds are limited to the amount recovered from the carrier.
  • Returns will not be accepted for surface texture, visible print lines, minor dimensional variation, cosmetic appearance, or installation-related damage.

7. No OEM Affiliation

Seller is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or associated with any vehicle manufacturer.

All trademarks, vehicle names, and model references are used solely for compatibility and identification purposes.

8. Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms and all transactions with Seller shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Idaho.

Any legal action or proceeding arising from the purchase or use of Seller's products shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located within Idaho.

9. Acceptance of Terms

By purchasing from Seller, the buyer acknowledges that they have read, understood, and agreed to:

  • This Disclaimer
  • These Terms of Service
  • All policies published on the Seller's website

These terms apply to all sales regardless of sales channel, marketplace, or platform.
