History & Fantasy miniatures for collectors
The website valahiaminiatures.com is owned and operated by Silviu Cristinel Gurbanescu, registered as a micro-entrepreneur in France, with its official business address at 44D Rue Nationale, 57600 Forbach, France. This website is dedicated to the creation, production, and sale of physical 3D-printed miniatures inspired by historical themes, fantasy universes, and original artistic concepts developed solely by the owner. All models, sculptures, and designs displayed on the site are the exclusive intellectual property of the owner and are fully protected under French and European laws governing copyright, artistic rights, and intellectual property. By accessing this website or placing an order, users explicitly acknowledge that they have read, understood, and accepted these Terms and Conditions in their entirety.
All products sold on this website are tangible, physical miniatures created using 3D printing technology, resin casting, and careful finishing techniques. These miniatures are the result of the owner’s original designs, and no digital files, STL models, or other reproductions of these works are provided or sold. Each purchase grants the customer only ownership of the physical object, along with the right to display it for personal use. Any attempt to reproduce, digitally scan, remold, redistribute, or commercially exploit the designs or miniatures without written authorization is strictly prohibited and will be considered an infringement of the owner’s intellectual property rights. Customers are informed that such violations may result in civil or criminal proceedings under French and European law.
The descriptions, images, dimensions, and technical specifications of the miniatures provided on the website are intended solely for informational purposes. Because of the artisanal nature of 3D printing, variations in size, surface texture, resin color, or fine details may occur from one item to another. These natural variations do not constitute defects, and they do not entitle the customer to claim a refund, replacement, or compensation. Customers understand and accept that these variations are inherent to the manufacturing process and form part of the character of each miniature.
Placing an order constitutes a binding contract between the customer and Valahia Miniatures. Orders are confirmed only after payment has been successfully received and validated. Once production of a miniature begins, cancellations are generally not possible, as each piece is produced on-demand. Customers are responsible for providing accurate and complete information, including delivery address and contact details. Any errors, delays, or failed delivery resulting from incorrect or incomplete information supplied by the customer are their responsibility. The seller reserves the right to refuse or cancel any order in cases of suspected fraud, misuse, or risk to the security of the website or its services.
Payments are processed securely via third-party financial service providers. Valahia Miniatures does not retain or have direct access to customer financial information. Prices are indicated in euros (EUR) and are exempt from VAT under the French auto-entrepreneur regime. Shipping costs are calculated separately and may vary depending on weight, destination, and carrier. For international orders, customs duties, import taxes, or other government-imposed fees may apply, and customers are responsible for payment of such charges. Shipping times are provided as estimates only; delays may occur due to postal service schedules, customs inspections, or other unforeseen events beyond the control of Valahia Miniatures. Risk of loss or damage during transit passes to the customer once the parcel has been handed over to the carrier. Customers are strongly advised to inspect packages immediately upon delivery and to follow carrier procedures in case of visible damage, while Valahia Miniatures will provide assistance when reasonably possible.
Products are covered by the legal warranty of conformity and protection against hidden defects in accordance with French law (Code de la Consommation Articles L217-4 et seq. and the Civil Code). Customers are entitled to exercise their right of withdrawal within 14 calendar days of receiving the product. To exercise this right, miniatures must be returned in their original condition, unused, unassembled, and complete with all original packaging and accessories. Products that have been painted, glued, assembled, or otherwise modified are not eligible for return. Likewise, items showing any damage, scratches, dents, missing parts, or signs of misuse will be rejected for refund. Shipping costs for returned products are the responsibility of the customer, unless otherwise agreed. Refunds are issued after verification of the returned item and confirmation that it meets the above conditions. Customers understand that the legal right of withdrawal does not cover improper handling, artistic modifications, or damages caused after delivery.

Any attempt to disrupt the website, extract or copy data, use automated scripts to manipulate orders or content, or to exploit technical vulnerabilities is strictly forbidden. Similarly, misusing the miniatures in ways that may harm the user, others, or the reputation of Valahia Miniatures is prohibited. Examples of misuse include attempts to rescan miniatures to create replicas, selling copies without authorization, exposing products to hazardous chemicals, or modifying them in ways that could endanger their integrity or safety.
