Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026

Welcome to Printara. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Printara platform, available at printara.co, operated by Printara s.r.o., a company registered in the Slovak Republic ("Printara," "we," "us," or "our").

By creating an account or using the platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the platform.

1. Platform Description

Printara is an online marketplace that connects buyers with third-party sellers, including 3D model designers, printers, and painters. Printara provides the technology platform and related services but is not a party to the transaction between Buyer and Seller.

The contract of sale for any product listed on Printara is formed directly between the Buyer and the Seller. Printara acts solely as an intermediary, facilitating the listing, discovery, and payment processing of goods and services.

2. Account Registration

To access certain features of the platform, you must create an account. By registering, you represent and warrant that:

  • You are at least 18 years of age or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction.
  • All information you provide during registration is accurate, current, and complete.
  • You will maintain and promptly update your account information to keep it accurate.
  • You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.

You must notify us immediately at hello@printara.co if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your account.

3. Digital Goods

3.1 Scope

Digital goods on Printara include 3D model files in formats such as STL, GLB, OBJ, and 3MF. These files are delivered electronically through the platform.

3.2 Right of Withdrawal

Under Directive 2011/83/EU on consumer rights and applicable Slovak law, consumers generally have a 14-day right of withdrawal from online purchases. However, this right does not apply to the supply of digital content that is not supplied on a tangible medium once the performance has begun with the consumer's prior express consent and acknowledgment that the right of withdrawal is thereby lost.

By initiating the download of a digital file, you expressly consent to the immediate delivery of the digital content and acknowledge that you lose your 14-day right of withdrawal once the download has commenced.

3.3 License

When you purchase a digital file, you receive a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the file for personal or commercial purposes as described in the listing. You may not redistribute, resell, or sublicense the file itself unless expressly permitted by the Seller.

4. Physical Goods — Print and Paint Services

4.1 Custom-Made Products

Physical goods on Printara, including 3D-printed objects and hand-painted miniatures, are manufactured to the Buyer's individual specifications. These items are made-to-order and tailored to the chosen model, material, finish, color scheme, and other parameters selected at the time of purchase.

4.2 Right of Withdrawal Exemption

In accordance with Article 16(c) of Directive 2011/83/EU, custom-made and clearly personalized goods are exempt from the 14-day right of withdrawal. Because each physical product on Printara is manufactured to the Buyer's specifications, the right of withdrawal does not apply once production has begun.

4.3 Quality and Complaints

If you receive a physical product that is damaged, defective, or substantially deviates from the agreed specifications, you may file a quality complaint in accordance with our Returns Policy. Please contact us at hello@printara.co within 14 days of receiving the item.

5. AI-Generated Content

5.1 Transparency

Certain 3D models on Printara may be generated or enhanced using artificial intelligence tools, including but not limited to Tripo AI. In accordance with the EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689), content that is generated by AI systems is labeled accordingly on the platform. Users interacting with AI-generated models are informed of this fact.

5.2 Ownership and License

Users who generate 3D models through Printara's AI tools retain ownership of those models, subject to the following conditions:

  • You grant Printara a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to display, reproduce, distribute, and market your AI-generated models on the platform and on affiliated channels.
  • This license includes the right to cross-post your models to external marketplaces (see Section 8).

5.3 No Guarantee of Accuracy

AI-generated models are produced algorithmically and may contain imperfections, artifacts, or geometric issues. Printara does not guarantee that AI-generated content will be suitable for any particular purpose, including 3D printing without modifications.

6. Marketplace Fees

Printara charges a platform fee on each completed transaction, which is deducted from the Seller's payout before disbursement. The applicable fee tiers are:

  • Standard: 12% platform fee
  • Pro: 10% platform fee
  • Scale: 8.5% platform fee

Fee tier eligibility is determined by the Seller's subscription plan or volume thresholds as described in the Seller dashboard.

All payment processing is handled by Stripe. Additional payment processing fees imposed by Stripe are separate from the Printara platform fee and are borne by the Seller unless otherwise specified. Printara reserves the right to modify fee structures with 30 days' prior notice.

7. Seller Obligations

7.1 Content Standards

Sellers represent and warrant that all content they upload to the platform, including 3D models, descriptions, and images:

  • Does not infringe upon any third-party intellectual property rights, including copyrights, trademarks, and patents.
  • Does not contain illegal, harmful, or otherwise prohibited content.
  • Is accurately described and represented in the listing.

7.2 Intellectual Property Indemnity

Sellers agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Printara and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to any allegation that the Seller's content infringes upon any third-party intellectual property rights.

7.3 Fulfillment

For physical goods, Sellers are solely responsible for the quality of manufactured products, accurate packaging, timely shipping, and compliance with all applicable product safety regulations.

7.4 Tax Reporting (DAC7)

In compliance with Council Directive (EU) 2021/514 (DAC7), Printara is required to collect and report certain information about Sellers to relevant tax authorities. Sellers who exceed the reporting thresholds — 30 or more completed sales or total consideration of EUR 2,000 or more in a calendar year — consent to the collection and reporting of their personal and transactional data to the applicable tax authorities.

Sellers are responsible for their own tax obligations and should seek independent tax advice as appropriate.

8. Auto-Posting to External Marketplaces

By listing products on Printara, Sellers grant Printara the right and license to cross-post their listings — including titles, descriptions, images, and pricing — to third-party marketplaces such as Etsy and Cults3D, on the Seller's behalf.

The purpose of cross-posting is to increase the visibility and reach of the Seller's products. Printara will make reasonable efforts to ensure that cross-posted listings accurately reflect the original listing on the platform.

Sellers may opt out of auto-posting for specific listings or for their entire account by adjusting their settings in the Seller dashboard or by contacting us at hello@printara.co.

9. Ranking Transparency

In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/1150 on promoting fairness and transparency for business users of online intermediation services (P2B Regulation), Printara discloses the main parameters used to determine the ranking of listings in marketplace search results and category views:

  • Newest: Listings are sorted by publication date, with the most recently published listings appearing first.
  • Popularity: Listings are ranked by the number of downloads and views, with the most popular listings appearing first.
  • Price: Listings are sorted by price in ascending or descending order, as selected by the user.

In the free tier, there is no paid ranking manipulation. Listings are ranked solely on the basis of the parameters described above. If Printara introduces promoted listings or paid placement options in the future, these will be clearly labeled and disclosed.

10. Account Suspension and Termination

10.1 Grounds for Suspension or Termination

Printara may suspend or terminate a user's account for the following reasons:

  • Uploading content that infringes upon third-party intellectual property rights.
  • Engaging in fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal activity.
  • Receiving repeated and substantiated quality complaints from buyers.
  • Violating any provision of these Terms.

10.2 Notice

Except in cases requiring immediate action to prevent ongoing legal violations or harm, Printara will provide at least 30 days' written notice before terminating a Seller's account, including a statement of reasons.

In cases of serious or repeated legal violations, fraud, or activity that poses an immediate risk to other users, Printara reserves the right to suspend or terminate the account immediately without prior notice.

10.3 Effect of Termination

Upon termination, any pending payouts will be processed within 30 days, subject to resolution of any outstanding disputes. The user's listings will be removed from the platform and any external marketplaces where they have been cross-posted.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law:

  • Printara provides the platform on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory.
  • Printara is not liable for the quality, safety, legality, or fitness for purpose of any product listed, sold, or manufactured through the platform.

  • In no event shall Printara's total aggregate liability exceed the amount of fees paid by you to Printara in the 12 months preceding the claim.
