Unsafe in use
- Load-bearing parts for vehicles, aircraft, lifting equipment or anything where failure could injure someone;

Infringing someone else’s rights
We do not manufacture copies of designs you do not have the right to reproduce. We cannot check this for you, and you confirm you have the right when you submit a file — see the terms. If a rights holder contacts us with a credible claim, we will stop.
Illegal or hateful content
- Anything unlawful to make, own or supply in the United Kingdom;
- Sexual content involving minors, which we report;
- Items whose purpose is to promote hatred against a group of people.
What happens if we decline
We tell you the reason on your order page and by email, and you are not charged. This is a judgement call made by a person, and we sometimes get it wrong — if you think we have, reply and explain. What the part is for often changes the answer.
Where we are required to report something, we will. Otherwise a declined order is simply closed and your file is deleted on the usual schedule.
Not sure?
Ask before you order. Email hello@layerform.co.uk describing what you need and what it is for, and we will tell you straight away.
