Terms of sale
These terms cover ordering a 3D printed creature from buddycreatures.com. They're written to be read. If anything is unclear, email us before you order.
Who you're buying from
Buddy Creatures is run by Otway Data Workshop (ODW), Apollo Bay, Victoria, ABN 17 781 147 987. You can reach us at justin@otwaydataworkshop.com.au.
Who can order
You need to be 18 or over to order. Children are very welcome to do the drawing.
Your drawing
When you upload a drawing, you confirm it's an original creature that you have the right to use: your own, your child's, or someone else's with their permission. Please don't upload characters that belong to someone else, such as characters from shows, games or brands. We can decline or cancel and refund an order if a drawing isn't suitable to print.
What you're buying
- One 3D printed creature, made from the AI image you chose, in the size you chose: Small (10 cm) or Large (16 cm), measured along the longest side.
- It's printed in plastic and given a white acrylic undercoat, ready for you to paint. It isn't painted.
- A card with your drawing and your creature's name, and a short painting guide.
The preview is a picture, and a printed object can't match it exactly. To make your creature strong enough to print and stand up, we may thicken thin parts, simplify very fine detail and add a small base. Each creature is made by hand, so small marks and layer lines are part of the finish.
Prices and payment
Prices are in Australian dollars and include postage within Australia. ODW isn't registered for GST, so no GST is charged. Payment is taken by Stripe when you place your order, and your order is confirmed once payment goes through. We never see or keep your card details.
Making and delivery
We post to Australian addresses only, with Australia Post tracking. The posting date shown before you pay is our best estimate for that day; we'll email you the tracking number when your creature is posted. After that, delivery time is up to Australia Post. If we can't post by the date we gave you, we'll email you, and you can choose to wait or have a full refund.
Changing or cancelling an order
Each creature is made to order. If you change your mind, email us as soon as you can: if we haven't started printing it, we'll cancel the order and refund you in full. Once printing has started, we can't cancel it.
If something's wrong
If your creature arrives broken or misprinted, or isn't what you ordered, email us within 14 days of delivery with a photo and your order number. We'll reprint it for free, or refund you if you'd rather.
We don't offer refunds or returns for change of mind on a creature that has been made, or because the printed creature looks a little different from the preview for the reasons above.
Our goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. You are entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. Nothing in these terms limits those rights.
Safety
Buddy Creatures are made to paint and display. They aren't toys for young children: they can have small or pointed parts, so keep them away from children under 3, and from any child who puts things in their mouth. Supervise children while they paint.
The gallery
If you tick "You can show this creature on buddycreatures.com" when you order, we may show your drawing and the creature in our gallery after we've reviewed it. We never show names. Email us at any time and we'll take it down.
Your information
How we handle your drawing and your details is set out in our privacy policy.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. The terms on this page when you place your order are the ones that apply to it. These terms are governed by the laws of Victoria, Australia.
