  • If a deposit has been paid and cancellation is requested before production, a partial refund may be issued less costs already incurred.
  • Always confirm all specifications in writing before placing a custom or bulk order.
Cancellations by Ormaco Global

Ormaco Global may cancel an order if the item is out of stock with no substitute, payment is unconfirmed, the delivery area has no courier service, or the order appears fraudulent. A full refund will be issued and you will be notified.
