Billing Information [back
to top]
Is it safe to put my billing information online?
Security is our #1 concern. Therefore to safeguard your billing information,
we use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology, the most advanced online
security system available. SSL encrypts all billing information related
to your membership so that none of that information can be read in transit
by an unauthorized third party.
How can I pay for your services?
Credit Card (VISA and Mastercard) and by Paypal.
Why do you ask for my Card Security Code?
To ensure your security when you purchase on our website, you need to
enter your credit card's security code. Since the security code never
shows up on statements or charge slips, the fact that you know what
it is helps prove to us (and our credit card authorization service)
that you are who you are and that you have the actual physical card
in your possession, and are not someone who has stolen one of your credit
card statements. Keep the code secret, and if you ever think that someone
has discovered it, be sure to notify your credit card company immediately.
Where do I find my Credit Card Security Code?
This is a three- or four-digit number that is printed after your sixteen-digit
credit card number, on the back of your credit card. Take a look at
the front of your card. You'll see a sixteen digit number embossed on
it. Now look at the back of your card. That same sixteen digit number
will be printed there, along with an extra three or four digits at the
end. That's your security code.
Some cards have only the last four digits of your card printed on the
back, together with your three-digit security code. Check your card
number against the printed digits: the ones that are not part of your
card number are your security code.
What do I do if my credit/debit card payment is declined?
There are many reasons why your payment could be declined:
1/ Incorrect credit card number;
2/ Incorrect expiration date;
3/ Incorrect billing address and phone number;
4/ Credit card limit reached (i.e. insufficient funds);
5/ Maximum number of charges you debit/credit card can receive in a
period exceeded;
6/ Credit/debit card doesn't accept charges from an online source;
7/ Card doesn't allow for automated billing;
8/ Card doesn't allow for international transactions;
9/ We only accept VISA and/or MasterCard;
10/ Some debit cards are not recognized by our credit card authorization
service.
Should you have additional questions about why your card got declined,
please contact your bank.

Technical Issues
[back
to top]
What kind of computer do I need?
Computer requirements are very minimal. It is important that you get
connected to a good Internet Service Provider.
What are the system requirements?
3dbull.com can be accessed through the internet. For best results we
recommend using an updated version of Internet or any other popular
web browser.
What are cookies?
Cookies are tokens that are stored on your computer which are used by
pages within a website to confirm that you have logged in and are allowed
to view those pages. The method for allowing cookies to be stored varies
depending on the browser you are using.
Are cookies required to login?

Chrome.
Is 3dbull.com compatible with Firefox and Google Chrome?
Yes.
I am getting error messages. What should I do?
Contact us immediately so that we may help
you.
How do I prevent emails from going into my SPAM folder?
Many e-mail service providers, including AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo!, etc,
have created spam filters to prevent unwanted messages from reaching
your inbox. Unfortunately, these filters can also block e-mail messages
you actually want to receive, such as those from 3dbull.com.

e-mail address domain (3dbull.com) to your address book and reconfigure
your spam filter settings.

Site Security [back
to top]
Is your website secure?
Security is our #1 concern. To safeguard your billing information, we
use Advanced Web Technology called SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) to protect
your billing information as it travels across the Internet. Most banks
employ this same reliable software to secure their own online transactions.
Is my personal and billing information secure?
Yes. 3dbull.com restricts access to your billing information. We maintain
physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your billing
information.
What type of security/encryption do you use to ensure that my
information is protected?
To safeguard your billing information, we use SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
technology, the most advanced online security system available. SSL
stands for Secure Sockets Layer. SSL is the encryption standard for
Internet traffic. When someone on the Internet wants to send data securely,
they use SSL encryption to accomplish it. Without SSL, any data sent
over the Internet can be easily intercepted by third parties. We use
SSL to encrypt all billing information related to your membership so
that none of that information can be read in transit by an unauthorized
third party.

3D Design Files [back
to top]
What is an .STL file?
Stereolithography (.stl) files are produced by 3D CAD (computer
aided drawing) programs, and are used by rapid prototyping, wax plotting
and milling machines to make physical models of the 3D image. Our 3D
jewelry model files in .stl format are error-free and ready for manufacturing.
These files can be downloaded from our site and go straight into production
on these machines.
How do I open an .STL file?
Many applications are capable of opening stereolithography files - most
major CAD drawing programs, such as Rhino 3D are capable of previewing
such files. If you don't have one of these programs installed in your
computer, download and install MiniMagics,
then use it to open your file.
How can I use your files?
All of the files on our site are royalty-free. Our site is
the authority of royalty-free CAD jewelry designs. These royalty-free
3D models may be downloaded from our site as a stereo lithography CAD
file (STL file). These STL files are used in prototyping or milling-machines
that craft hard-copy wax models for direct precious metal casting, or
for the making of master models or production of silicone molds for
volume castings. In case you do not have access to hard-copy model production
from STL files, we will be pleased to have one of our authorized wax
model fabricating shops prototype a hard-copy wax model for you.
To read specific permitted and forbidden uses of 3dbull.com files, please read the License Agreement. If you still have questions, please contact us.
What do I do when I can't connect to a secure server to purchase
designs?
Most likely the reason you cannot connect to a secure server is because
your web browser doesn't support 128 bit encryption. It's also possible
that your office or network administrator is blocking the port that
is needed to process transactions. You may need to request that port
443 (Secure Sockets Layer SSL) be opened on your firewall.

well designed CAD file, there should be no open edges and no tools left
in the file. The model should be 'watertight' to be used flawlessly
in the manufacturing process. If we find that a file submitted does
not meet these requirements, we will notify the contributing designer
