1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES

Due to the bespoke and service-based nature of our work, refunds are handled differently than for standard retail products.

Most services provided by Damon Ardalani are custom-created according to a client’s specifications and involve creative and technical work. Because of this, refunds may be limited once work has started.

Each stage of the design and production process is treated as a separate service milestone, and payments correspond to work performed at each stage.

2. CONCEPT DESIGN SERVICES

Concept design includes the early creative stage of a project, such as:

  • Research

  • Ideation

  • Sketching

  • Initial design proposals

Before Work Has Started

If a project is cancelled before concept work begins, you may be eligible for a full refund.

After Work Has Started

Once concept design work has started:

  • Payments become non-refundable for work already performed

  • This includes sketches, concept drafts, and creative development

If a project is cancelled during this stage, you may be invoiced for work completed up to the cancellation date.

3. CAD DEVELOPMENT SERVICES

CAD development involves translating approved concepts into technical 3D models and engineering-ready files.

These are custom digital assets created specifically for your project.

Once CAD development has begun:

  • Payments for this stage are non-refundable

  • This includes partially completed CAD models and technical drafts

Revisions

Where revisions are included in your project agreement:

  • Included revisions will be completed as agreed

  • Additional revisions may incur additional charges

4. 3D RENDERING SERVICES

3D rendering services involve the creation of photorealistic images or visualisations of the design.

Because renderings are custom digital deliverables:

  • Payments become non-refundable once rendering work begins

  • This includes draft renders and partially completed visualisations

If rendering work has started and the project is cancelled, fees for completed work remain payable.

5. PRODUCTION SERVICES

Production includes the physical manufacturing of jewellery based on approved designs.

This may include:

  • Casting

  • Stone setting

  • Finishing and polishing

  • Material sourcing (metals, gemstones, and components)

Made-to-Order Items

All production work is made-to-order and customised to the approved design.

Once production has started, manufacturing costs are non-refundable.

Faulty or Defective Items

If a manufactured item is faulty due to our workmanship, you must notify us within 14 days of delivery.

If a fault is confirmed, we may at our discretion:

  • Repair the item

  • Replace or remake the item

This does not apply to damage caused by:

  • Normal wear and tear

  • Misuse or negligence

  • Accidental damage

  • Alterations made by third parties

6. DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS

Deposits may be required to secure time and resources for your project.

Unless otherwise agreed:

  • Deposits are non-refundable once work begins

  • Deposits cover design preparation, scheduling, and initial project work

Final designs, digital files, or physical items will not be released until full payment has been received.

7. CANCELLATIONS BY THE CLIENT

If you wish to cancel a project, you must notify us in writing at: [email protected] In the event of cancellation:

  • Any work completed up to the cancellation date remains payable

  • Deposits may not be refunded once work has begun

  • Work already delivered remains billable

8. CLIENT APPROVAL & SIGN-OFF

Before moving to production or final delivery, clients may be asked to approve:

  • Final designs

  • CAD files

  • Rendered images

  • Technical specifications

Once approval has been provided, the design is considered final.

Changes requested after approval may incur additional costs and may affect production timelines.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing, intellectual property created during the project remains the property of Damon Ardalani, including:

  • Concept designs

  • CAD files

  • Renderings

  • Technical drawings

Refunds or cancellations do not grant ownership of intellectual property unless full payment has been made and rights are explicitly transferred.

We are not liable for delays caused by events outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to:

  • Supplier delays

  • Material shortages
