If Simax chooses not to complete an order under this policy, the customer will be refunded for any portion of the order that is not produced. If no portion of the order is produced, the amount paid for the order will be refunded.

5. Indemnification

The customer agrees to be responsible for claims, damages, costs, or expenses resulting from content they submit, including claims involving copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other intellectual property rights.
