STANDARD USE OF3D DESIGN SERVICES POLICY
1 – General
This policy always applies to any trade relations of Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd, unless there is an express and written agreement to the contrary. The customer’s terms and conditions to the contrary are not enforceable. This policy is accepted by the customer by the simple fact of negotiating or entering into an agreement with Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd. If there are interpretation issues, our English-language general terms and conditions prevail over the general terms and conditions in other languages. In the general terms and conditions of contract, a Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd “design” must be understood as: any drawing, image, visualisation, 3D rendering, text, etc. as a result of which an idea or project is developed, both provisionally and definitively.
1 – Quotes, Orders and Cancellations
Any offers and price quotes are only valid for 30 days after they have been dated. Price quotes must be signed by the customer in agreement or confirmed by email. A full and legally valid agreement is presumed to have been formed by such confirmation. The same applies if the service is provided after the price quote was sent to the customer, subject to immediate and certified objection within 24 hours after delivery. An order placed by a customer in whatever way, in writing, electronically, by telephone, etc., cannot be cancelled and must be paid in full. Orders for additional services are proven by their execution as such. They are charged at the current unit prices applicable and are due and claimable immediately after invoicing.
2 – Project Schedule
Any periods are always approximate and do not constitute any obligation on the part of Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd. Failure to observe them can never give cause for compensation for damages or for cancellation of the contract. The customer is obliged to do anything that is reasonably necessary or desirable to enable Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd to deliver correctly and on time, in particular, by providing full, reliable and clear content and/or the necessary equipment. If the execution of the assignment must be suspended because the customer’s essential correct data are not provided, an advance payment shall be charged for the work already done.
3 – Price Adjustments
The price is as per the agreement. Essential adjustments at the customer’s request shall give rise to price adjustments. The customer shall be charged separately for expenses for technical resources, travel and subsistence costs, journeys and work by third parties. Ancillary activities (production assistance, discussions, gathering content, etc.) can give rise to the calculation of additional remuneration at a rate per hour.
4 – Breach of Contract
If the customer commits a breach of contract, for example, because of not observing payment obligations, due to bankruptcy or manifest incapacity to pay, Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd can regard the agreement as having been terminated without any notice of default and by operation of law, merely by registered letter and without any right to compensation for damages on the customer’s part, or can suspend all further service provision. If the agreement is terminated or cancelled at the customer’s liability, Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd shall be owed a fixed amount of compensation for damages of 25% of the contract price, without prejudice to the compensation for the damage actually suffered by Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd and the design shall be returned to Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd. If the agreement is terminated at the liability of Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd, the customer shall be entitled to the same compensation for damages, unless he, she or it has the capacity of trader. The period of notice for open-ended contracts amounts to 3 months, to be calculated from the first month following the month in which the notice was given. The notice must be given by registered letter addressed to the registered office.
5 – Payment Terms
All Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd invoices are payable net in cash without any discount and at its registered office. Conventional late payment interest equal to the interest rate in response to late payment in commercial transactions in addition to a fixed amount of compensation for damages of 15%, with a minimum of ZAR 150.00 per invoice, shall be owed ipso iure and without notice of default for any invoice that is not paid on its due date. In the case of non-payment, the customer is liable for the costs and fees charged by the attorneys of Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd for collecting payment. If an invoice is paid late, all outstanding invoices shall become due and claimable. If the customer fails to observe his, her or its payment obligations, he, she or it is not allowed to use the designs made available to him, her or it. Designs of Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd may only be published and reproduced if the entire invoice has been paid in full or if Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd issued written permission to do so if only a part of the invoice has been paid. Accepting bills of exchange or other commercial documents and allowing deferment of payment do not entail substitution of one debt for another and do not imply a waiver of the general terms and conditions of Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd. The customer waives his, her or its right to invoke the suspension of his, her or its payment obligations, on whatever grounds.
6 – Protection of Privacy
Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd duly respects the applicable regulations on the protection of privacy and the processing of personal data. In this regard, Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd acts as the data controller. All personal data collected is used solely to execute the agreement. By way of communication subject to the terms and conditions laid down by law, the person involved has the right to obtain the recorded data and to bring about any change thereto or removal thereof. The user must send his or her application by means of a dated and signed application, together with a copy of his/her identity document, to Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd.

Any know-how, programs used, intellectual and other property rights relating to or used for the manufacture of the designs by Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd continue to belong to Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd and the lawful third-party owner. Equipment delivered by the customer is presumed to be in accordance with the various statutory provisions, such as copyright, other intellectual property rights and the laws relating to privacy.

Any disputes fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Gauteng Magistrates Court for the registered office of Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd.

STANDARD USE OF 3D PRINTING SERVICES POLICY
1 – General
Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd strives to offer access to innovative technology and a variety of computer and technology related services. This policy establishes guidelines for the client’s use of our 3D printing services. Upon submission of an invoice / quote or any other documentation format, a note regarding the application of this policy is stated on the provided documentation. The customer’s terms and conditions to the contrary are not enforceable. This policy is acknowledged, consented to and accepted by the customer by the simple fact of negotiating or entering into an agreement with Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd, and remains enforceable from the date an agreement is negotiated or entered into.
2 – Who Can Print 3D Models?
Any public client may request a quote from Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd 3D printing services. Only designated Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd staff will have hands-on access to the 3D printers. Printing or supervising the printing of a client’s 3D model or item by our staff does not relieve a client of the indemnification obligations discussed below and shall not expose Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd to liability. Printing or supervising the printing of a client’s 3D model by our staff does not constitute an acknowledgment that the client’s 3D model is conducted with this policy, intellectual property laws or other laws, or that the 3D model is safe or fit for client’s specific purpose, and in fact Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd expressly disclaims any knowledge thereof.
3 – Print Queue
Our staff have the sole discretion to determine the order in which 3D models are printed. If a 3D model consists of multiple separate parts, each part will constitute a single item. Because of limited staff and hardware resources, Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd cannot guarantee completion times. Our staff will contact client’s when printing is complete, and client’s must pick up or arrange delivery of completed models within three weeks of completion. If models are not picked up within three weeks following completion, then Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd may dispose of them in any manner it deems appropriate.
4 – Cost of 3D Printing
The cost for 3D printing is based on the estimated time it takes for 3d printing a complete model. Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd staff may estimate the price prior to printing the model, but the exact price will be given to clients once an invoice is issued to the client. All 3D models must be paid for in full prior to the commencement of the client’s 3d printing projects. The cost of 3D models not paid for and collected within three weeks following completion of the print will be lodged with the Gauteng Small Claims Court or Pretoria Magistrates Court.
5 – Unsuccessful Prints
Because of inherent limitations with equipment, Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd does not guarantee that any 3D model will print successfully. If a print fails due to Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd staff error or hardware failure, we will attempt to reprint the object, and the client will not be charged for the failed attempt, except as stated in the next paragraph. Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd may refuse to reprint the object after two unsuccessful attempts.
Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd may refuse to print 3D models that clearly contain errors or that are, as determined by Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd staff, beyond the capabilities of our company’s equipment. The cost of failed prints due to errors within the 3D model and 3D models that are beyond the equipment’s capabilities may be charged to the client. Mavrakis Concepts Pty Ltd staff have sole discretion to make slight alterations such as adding supports to client’s designs in an attempt to make them printable, but we do not guarantee that they will print successfully. Clients are responsible for any extra cost associated with alterations to their designs regardless of whether the print is successful.
