Payment Processor Fees -
We understand that sometimes things don't work out as planned. If you need to cancel an order or have us process a refund, we'll be happy to help. However, please note that we do not refund the fees charged by the payment processor. When you make a purchase, the payment processor charges a fee to process the transaction. This fee is typically a percentage of the purchase amount, plus a fixed fee. We do not receive any of these fees and the payment processor does not return them to us, so we are unable to refund them to you.
Custom blueprint designs-
In order to create your custom design blueprint we will provide a list of dimensions we need you to take. Unfortunately it is impossible for us to have the dimensions for every vehicle in existence. Even if we do have the dimensions from a previous project, every person has a different amount of space they are willing to give up for a subwoofer enclosure, so we ALWAYS request customer dimensions of space that can be used for the designed subwoofer box. This way the enclosure is optimized for your application. Since we do not have access to your vehicle we must work off of your provided dimensions. If we create a box design based on your dimensions, and the design does not fit, you are responsible for this error in measurements. Any redesign that is required will require the design to be purchased again. Any eligible refunds are only for the cost of the blueprint design itself. Using a subwoofer enclosure design for your system is at your own risk. Please note that some subwoofer enclosure designs show dimensions on a fully assembled enclosure view. In this case a text format cut list is provided. To be eligible for a refund please submit pictures of the design that has been built. We do not provide refunds when you simply choose not to complete your build. It is quite rare for our designs to have any issues, but sometimes we will see something else within the install that may be causing a problem. We're here to help! In order to receive a refund on blueprint designs please notify us within 15 days of receiving the design. No refunds will be given for materials, equipment etc.
Pre-Made blueprint designs & Digital Files-
We are unable to provide refunds for Pre-Made blueprint designs or Digital Files. These are electronic documents and much like music or movies no refund will be given as the item cannot be physically returned.
Merchandise-
Please let us know if there is an issue with your merchandise and we will be happy to assist.
Used Gear-
From time to time we sell used gear on the site, these items will be labeled as used and are "as is". Unfortunately we cannot accept returns on these items.
