LAYR Return & Refund Policy
Effective Date: July 7, 2026
This Return & Refund Policy governs purchases made through the LAYR marketplace. LAYR is operated by LAYR Additive Inc. ("LAYR," "we," "our," or "us") and connects buyers with independent sellers, designers, and production partners. While sellers are responsible for the products they offer, LAYR establishes minimum marketplace standards to help ensure a fair and consistent experience for all users.
1. Minimum Marketplace Standard
All sellers on LAYR must comply with this Return & Refund Policy. Sellers may offer more generous return policies, but they may not provide protections that are less favorable than those outlined here.
A seller's specific return policy will be displayed on the applicable product listing where appropriate.
2. Eligible for a Refund or Replacement
A buyer may be eligible for a refund, replacement, repair, or other appropriate resolution if the product:
Requests should generally be submitted within 14 days of delivery, unless a longer period is required by applicable law.
- Arrives damaged.
- Contains a manufacturing defect.
- Is materially different from the listing description or images.
- Is the incorrect item.
- Is missing significant components.
- Is lost during shipping and cannot be recovered.
- Cannot be delivered due to an error by the seller or production partner.
3. Custom & Made-to-Order Products
Most products sold through LAYR are manufactured specifically after an order is placed.
Because of this, custom, personalized, or made-to-order products are generally not eligible for return solely because the buyer changed their mind.
However, these products remain eligible for a refund, replacement, or repair if they:
- Arrive damaged.
- Contain manufacturing defects.
- Are incorrect.
- Differ materially from the product listing.
4. Change-of-Mind Returns
Unless a seller specifically offers change-of-mind returns, buyers are not entitled to return products because they:
If a seller voluntarily accepts returns for these reasons, the seller's individual return policy will apply.
- Changed their mind.
- Ordered the wrong size, color, or variation.
- No longer want the item.
- Found the product elsewhere.
- Made an ordering mistake.
5. Return Shipping
When a return is approved:
Returned products should be packaged appropriately to prevent damage during transit.
- If the seller, designer, or production partner is responsible for the issue, they are responsible for reasonable return shipping costs.
- If the return is accepted as a voluntary change-of-mind return under the seller's policy, the buyer is responsible for return shipping unless the seller states otherwise.
6. Lost Packages
If a shipment is confirmed lost by the shipping carrier or cannot reasonably be located, the buyer may be eligible for:
LAYR or the seller may wait until the shipping carrier completes its investigation before issuing a replacement or refund.
- A replacement product; or
- A full refund.
7. How to Request a Return or Refund

The buyer should provide:
- The order number.
- A description of the issue.
- Photographs of the product (if applicable).
- Photographs of the packaging (if applicable).
- Any additional information reasonably requested to investigate the claim.
8. Marketplace Disputes
LAYR encourages buyers and sellers to resolve issues directly whenever possible.
Before requesting LAYR's assistance, buyers must first contact the seller through the LAYR messaging system and make a reasonable effort to resolve the issue.
Sellers are expected to respond within 48 hours of receiving the buyer's request.
If the issue has not been resolved within 7 calendar days after the buyer first contacted the seller, either party may open a dispute through LAYR.
When reviewing a dispute, LAYR may request additional information from either party, including:
After reviewing the available information, LAYR may, in its sole discretion:
Except where prohibited by applicable law, LAYR's determination of marketplace disputes is final for purposes of administering the Platform.

9. Failure to Respond
If a seller fails to respond to a buyer's request within 48 hours, LAYR may review the available evidence and resolve the dispute without further input from the seller.
Repeated failures to respond to customer inquiries or disputes may result in:
- Temporary suspension of the seller's account.
- Reduced marketplace visibility.
- Withholding of seller payouts.
- Permanent removal from the Platform.

- A repair.
- A partial refund.
- A full refund.
- Return of the product before a refund is issued.
- No refund or replacement where the claim cannot be substantiated.
11. Refund Processing
