1. General Policy

Because Heartland FabCo sells a mix of physical products, digital products, made-to-order items, and fabrication-related services, return and refund eligibility depends on the type of product or service purchased.

Some standard physical products may be returnable. Other items, including digital products, downloaded files, custom fabricated items, personalized items, made-to-order items, and work based on customer-supplied files, may be final sale unless required by law or unless we determine that an exception is appropriate.

2. Return Window for Eligible Physical Products

For eligible standard physical products, return requests must be submitted within 14 days after delivery.

To be eligible for return, the item must be:

  • Unused
  • Uninstalled
  • Undamaged
  • In the same condition that you received it
  • In its original packaging, when applicable
  • Accompanied by the receipt, order number, or other proof of purchase

We reserve the right to reject a return if the item is used, damaged, altered, incomplete, missing parts, not in resaleable condition, or returned without prior approval.

3. Return Authorization Required

Returns must be approved before being sent back.

To request a return, email:

support@heartlandfabco.com

Include:

  • Your name
  • Order number
  • Product name
  • Reason for return
  • Photos

If your return is accepted, we will provide instructions on how and where to send the item. Do not send items back without approval. Items returned without authorization may be rejected, returned to sender, or not refunded.

4. Return Shipping

Unless we made an error or determine otherwise, customers are responsible for return shipping costs.

Original shipping charges are non-refundable unless the return is due to our error or unless required by law.

We may provide a return shipping label in certain situations, but we are not obligated to provide one unless we determine that the return is due to our error or another issue we are responsible for.

We recommend using a trackable shipping method. We are not responsible for returns lost or damaged in transit.

5. Items That Are Not Returnable

The following items are generally not returnable or refundable:

  • Digital products
  • Downloaded files
  • Templates, plans, layouts, or electronic resources
  • Custom fabricated items
  • Made-to-order items
  • Personalized or modified products
  • Customer-file-based fabrication work
  • 3D printed parts made from customer files or specifications
  • CNC routed, CNC milled, laser-cut, or engraved items made from customer files or specifications
  • Items damaged by misuse, improper installation, modification, abuse, neglect, or normal wear
  • Items ordered incorrectly by the customer
  • Items that do not fit or perform as intended because of inaccurate customer-supplied files, dimensions, specifications, assumptions, or instructions
  • Gift cards, when offered
  • Clearance, closeout, discontinued, or final-sale items, when marked as such

6. Digital Products

Digital products are generally final sale.

Because digital products may be accessed or downloaded immediately, refunds are not offered for digital products unless required by law or unless we determine that a refund is appropriate due to a technical issue, duplicate purchase, or other exceptional circumstance.

You may contact us if:

  • You purchased the same digital product more than once by mistake
  • The download link does not work
  • The file is missing or corrupted
  • You received the wrong digital product

We may attempt to resolve the issue by re-sending the file, correcting access, replacing the file, or issuing a refund at our discretion.

7. Custom Fabrication and Made-to-Order Work

Custom fabrication and made-to-order work are final sale once accepted for production.

This includes, without limitation:

  • 3D printing
  • CNC routing or milling
  • Laser engraving or cutting
  • Custom parts
  • Customer-supplied file work
  • Personalized products
  • Special material orders
  • Small-batch production runs
  • Work quoted or produced specifically for a customer

Orders may not be eligible for cancellation, refund, or return once production has started, materials have been ordered, files have been prepared, digital work has begun, or the item has been produced.

8. Order Cancellations

Cancellation requests should be sent to support@heartlandfabco.com as soon as possible.

We may approve a cancellation if the order has not yet been processed, downloaded, produced, customized, packaged, shipped, or otherwise fulfilled.

We may not be able to cancel an order after:

  • Production has started
  • A digital product has been accessed or downloaded
  • Custom file review or setup work has begun
  • Materials have been ordered
  • The item has been packed or shipped
  • The order has otherwise entered fulfillment

Approved cancellations may be refunded to the original payment method.

9. Damaged, Defective, or Incorrect Items

Please inspect your order promptly after delivery.

Contact us as soon as possible, and no later than 7 days after delivery, if an item arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect.

Include:

  • Your order number
  • A description of the issue
  • Photos of the item
  • Photos of the packaging, if damaged during shipping
  • Any other relevant details

We will review the issue and determine the appropriate resolution, which may include replacement, repair, store credit, refund, or another reasonable solution.

Do not discard damaged packaging or items until the issue has been reviewed, as the carrier may require photos or inspection.

10. Customer-Supplied File or Specification Issues

We are not responsible for defects, fitment issues, performance problems, or production results caused by inaccurate, incomplete, incompatible, unlawful, infringing, or unsuitable customer-supplied files, drawings, measurements, specifications, notes, reference images, or instructions.

This includes situations where:

  • The file contains incorrect dimensions
  • The file is not suitable for the selected process or material
  • The customer selected the wrong material, size, finish, or quantity
  • The part does not fit the customer’s intended use
  • The customer expected a tolerance, finish, strength, certification, or performance level not expressly agreed to in writing
  • The customer supplied artwork, logos, files, or designs they did not have the right to use

Refunds are generally not provided for these issues.

11. Exchanges

We do not guarantee exchanges.

For eligible standard physical products, we may offer an exchange when inventory is available and the item meets the return requirements.

For custom, made-to-order, digital, or customer-file-based work, exchanges are generally not available.

The fastest way to obtain a different eligible item is usually to return the item you have, wait for the return to be accepted, and place a separate order for the new item.

12. Refund Processing

Approved refunds are generally issued to the original payment method within 10 business days after we receive and inspect the returned item or otherwise approve the refund.

Refund timing may vary depending on the payment processor, card issuer, bank, payment method, holidays, or temporary company shut-downs. We do not control how quickly your bank or payment provider posts the refund.

If more than 15 business days have passed since we approved your refund, contact us at:

support@heartlandfabco.com

Approved refunds will generally exclude:

  • Original shipping charges
  • Return shipping charges
  • Rush fees
  • Setup fees
  • Custom work already performed
  • Digital products already accessed or downloaded
  • Non-refundable payment processing or platform fees, where permitted by law
  • Costs for materials, production, or labor already incurred for custom or made-to-order work

13. Final Sale Items

Items marked final sale, clearance, closeout, discontinued, custom, made-to-order, digital, personalized, or non-returnable are not eligible for return or refund unless required by law or unless we determine that an exception is appropriate.

14. U.S.-Only Sales and Future International Sales

Heartland FabCo currently focuses on U.S. sales and shipping. If we later offer products or shipping to other countries, additional consumer rights, cancellation rights, warranty rules, customs obligations, tax rules, or return requirements may apply.

We may update this policy before offering international sales.

15. Policy Changes

We may update this Refund and Return Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this website with a revised “Last updated” date.
