Service Provider: Mario De Lio via blueprintcad.ca

Client: Individual, business or organization requesting the service and deliverable (you).

Deliverable Submission: Date at which project deliverables are sent or handed over from the Service Provider to the Client.

1. Scope of Services

The Service Provider provides computer-aided design (CAD), drafting, and related design services (“Services”) as described in the applicable Quote and/or Statement of Work (“SOW”).

Services may include concept development, drafting, and design support for customer review, prototyping, or manufacturing coordination. The Services do not include certified engineering, architectural, or professional sign-off drawings.

All deliverables are provided for review and approval by the Client prior to any use, manufacturing, or implementation.

---

2. No Certified or Regulated Services

The Service Provider does not provide:

• Professional engineering or architectural services
• Certified, stamped, or code-compliant drawings
• Services intended for aerospace, medical, life-safety, or other regulated applications

The Client acknowledges that the Services are non-certified design and drafting services only.

---

3. Client Responsibility and Review

The Client is solely responsible for:

• Reviewing and accepting all drawings, models, and deliverables.
• Verifying dimensions, tolerances, materials, and suitability for intended use and application.
• Approving designs prior to manufacturing, purchasing, or implementation.

The Service Provider is not responsible for costs, losses, or damages arising from the Client’s failure to review and approve deliverables.

---

4. Design Revisions and Corrections

Reasonable revisions necessary to correct clear drafting or design errors within the SOW made by the Service Provider are included at no additional cost to the client, up to the discretion of the Service Provider, provided such errors are identified within fifteen (15) calendar days from the date of deliverable submission. After day fifteen (15), all files and deliverables are considered final, and any revisions or modifications may be billed separately at the sole discretion of the Service Provider.

Changes resulting from, but not limited to:

• Client preference changes
• Evolving requirements
• New information provided after approval

are considered out of scope and SOW and may be billed separately up to the full discretion of the Service Provider.

• Written authorization to proceed on a time and material basis

The Service Provider is not obligated to perform additional work without written approval.

6. Prototype 3D Printing Services

If prototype 3D printing services are provided, such services are limited strictly to non-structural, non-safety, form, fit, and visual evaluation purposes.

• Prohibited Applications: Printed parts are not intended for, and shall not be used in:
  • Structural, load-bearing, or safety-critical applications.
  • Life-safety functions or regulated medical devices.
  • End-use production components or commercial deployment.
  • Automotive (safety-related), aerospace, or maritime components.
• Technical Limitations: The Client acknowledges that material properties, dimensional accuracy (tolerances), surface finish, and overall performance will vary due to the nature of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) additive manufacturing.
• Client-Supplied Files: For 3D printing services based on files provided by the Client, the Service Provider does not guarantee “printability.” If a print fails due to design flaws, non-manifold geometry, or insufficient wall thickness in the Client’s file, the Client remains responsible for the costs of material and machine time incurred.
• Final Validation: The Client assumes all risk and is solely responsible for evaluating, testing, and validating all printed parts prior to any use or integration.

The Client is solely responsible for evaluating all printed parts prior to any use.

• Compliance with codes, standards, or regulations
• Production or commercial deployment without independent validation

Any such use of any deliverables or printed prototypes is at the Client’s sole risk.

---

8. Fees, Quotes, and Payment Terms

All fees are outlined in the applicable Quote or SOW.

For fixed-price projects valued over $100 CAD:
