Terms of sale and license

1. Who sells the kit

In these terms, "we" and "us" mean sole proprietor (FOP) Andrii Biletskyi, the author of the BILBOX kits, and "you" means the person who buys or downloads a kit.

Our order process is conducted by our online reseller Paddle.com. Paddle.com is the Merchant of Record for all our orders. Paddle provides all customer service inquiries and handles returns.

This means that you buy the kit from Paddle, under Paddle's buyer terms at paddle.com/legal/buyer-terms. Paddle takes your payment, charges VAT or sales tax, sends you the receipt and handles refunds, cancellations and billing questions. The payment on your card or bank statement is shown as a payment to Paddle.

We supply the kit: we send you the files, give you the license below and answer your questions about the files and the build. These terms are our supplier terms, which Paddle's buyer terms call the Supplier Agreement. They apply between you and us, together with Paddle's buyer terms. Payment, tax, refunds and cancellation follow Paddle's buyer terms and refund policy, together with our refund policy. Where they give you different rights, the higher level of rights applies.

These terms apply to Base and Plus bought through Paddle on the English pages of this site, and to Free, the free PDF. Orders paid in hryvnias on the Ukrainian site are covered by its public offer (in Ukrainian).

2. What you get

A BILBOX kit is a set of digital files for building a sleeping platform (a camper box) yourself in a Subaru Forester SJ. It is a digital kit with no physical parts: a ready box, materials, cutting, hardware, tools, assembly, fitting and shipping of any parts are not included.

• Free: a free PDF with the sizes of simple parts that a plywood store can cut to size without CNC, and how they go together. It has no step-by-step manual, no CNC files and no personal support.
• Base: a paid kit for a low sleeping platform without drawers, with tab-and-slot joints.
• Plus: a paid kit for a sleeping platform with two drawers on slides and a table top.

Each paid kit has a step-by-step PDF manual, a picture manual without words, DXF files of the parts for a CNC shop, a cutting layout for 1250 × 2500 mm plywood sheets, a parts list with sizes and quantities, a list of materials and hardware, and the license below. If your plywood comes in other sheet sizes, such as 4 × 8 ft, a CNC shop can lay out the separate part files on them.

The product page shows the exact contents of each kit before you pay. The kits sold on the English pages have the step-by-step manual and the parts list in English, with sizes in millimeters; the picture manual and the DXF files have no words. The materials list names the stores and prices the author used in Ukraine; outside Ukraine, buy equivalents with the same specifications.

No kit includes a redesign for another car.

3. Fit, beta status and safety

The kits are designed for the Subaru Forester SJ 2013-2018 (model years 2014-2018 in North America). Cargo areas can differ by market and trim, so measure your own car and check the key sizes from the manual before cutting. Before you pay, you can ask us by e-mail or on Instagram whether a kit suits your car; such messages are not an order or a contract.

The kits are in beta. Nobody has built a box from the Base or Plus files yet. The only box built so far is our Plus prototype, tested on trips in a Forester 2017: the Plus files keep its sizes, with improved holes and fixings. Base and Free have not been built: their sizes come from the 3D model of the prototype, and we checked the Base height in the same car. Beta means that we may refine the manuals. It does not change our duty to deliver the kit as described, or your legal rights.

There is no certified load rating. The prototype has not passed load certification or a crash test.

Plywood, CNC cutting and hardware are paid separately. You arrange the materials, the cutting, the assembly and the fixing of the box in your car, yourself or with a craftsman, following the manual. While driving, secure the box, its drawers and other moving parts, and your gear.

These notes do not release us from the liability that the law sets for digital content.

BILBOX is an independent project, not affiliated with Subaru Corporation. The name Subaru Forester is used only to describe compatibility.

4. Prices, taxes and payment

The product page shows the price of each kit in US dollars. Paddle checkout shows the price of the kit and the total before you pay, in US dollars or in your local currency. Depending on where you live, Paddle adds VAT or sales tax to the price or includes it in the price. There is no extra charge for digital delivery. The price of a paid order does not change.

You pay at Paddle checkout with one of the payment methods offered there. Your card details go only to Paddle; we never see them. If your bank charges a fee, for example for currency conversion, your bank shows it separately.

When you pay at Paddle checkout after reading these terms and our refund policy, you accept them. After payment, Paddle sends you a receipt, and we e-mail you the download link with the text of these terms as they stood when you paid.

Free is not sold through Paddle and costs nothing. By downloading it, you accept these terms as far as they apply to it: the sections on the license, fit, safety and liability.

5. Delivery of the files

When Paddle confirms your payment, our site e-mails a personal download link to the e-mail address you entered in the order form on this site, usually within a few minutes and no later than 24 hours after payment.

The link works for 72 hours and allows up to 5 downloads; the e-mail shows the exact expiry time. If the e-mail has not arrived within an hour, check your spam folder. If it still has not arrived, the link has expired or the downloads are used up, write to us and we will send a new link free of charge. Please do not forward the link to other people.

The kit comes as a ZIP archive. You need a program that unpacks it, a PDF reader and, for the DXF files, CAD/CAM software, yours or your CNC shop's. Save the downloaded files on your own device.

Free downloads straight from this site, without payment or registration.

6. License

The license is the same for all versions. You may build one item for your own personal, non-commercial use and keep a backup copy of the files.

You may give the files needed for this build to a CNC shop or craftsman of your choice, only to make the parts of this one item. They get no right to reuse or share the files.

You may not resell, share, publish or distribute the kit or any of its files, or use them for serial or commercial production. We keep the copyright in the files and manuals; it does not pass to you. Commercial use needs a separate written agreement with us.

If your order is fully refunded, the license ends: delete the files and do not build from them.

7. Support and fixes

Base and Plus include answers to your questions about the files and the build by e-mail at info@bilbox.com.ua, in English or Ukrainian. They also include fixes of mistakes in the files of the version you bought, for the same design. A new design or a new generation of a kit is sold separately. Free comes without personal support.

We are grateful if you tell us about difficulties you meet while building. We publish your photo or review only with your separate consent, and your files never depend on a positive review.

8. Refunds and problems with the files

Refunds and cancellations follow our refund policy at bilbox.com.ua/en/refunds, which is part of these terms, and Paddle's refund policy at paddle.com/legal/refund-policy.

In short: until you start downloading the files, you can cancel within 14 days of payment and get a full refund. If a file is missing, damaged or not as described, write to us: we fix the problem, send the missing file or a new link, or arrange a refund through Paddle where the law requires it. If you live in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, your 14-day right of withdrawal ends once you start downloading the files, if at Paddle checkout you agreed to get them at once and to give up this right.

9. Responsibility and liability

We are responsible for the kit matching its description on the product page at the time you paid. If it does not, you have the rights set out in our refund policy and in the law of your country.

We are not responsible for mistakes in cutting, drilling or assembly made by you, your shop or your craftsman, for changes you make to the design, for materials or hardware other than those in the manual, or for use in another car or in a way that the manual does not describe.

The price of the kit does not include plywood, cutting, hardware or assembly. Claims for these or other costs and losses are decided under the applicable law, depending on the circumstances.

Where the law allows, our total liability to you for a kit is limited to the price you paid for it. Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that the law does not allow us to limit. Nothing in these terms takes away your mandatory rights as a consumer.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms and our refund policy; the edition date is at the top of each page. Your order is governed by the edition in force when you paid, and later changes do not make its conditions worse for you. Keep the e-mail with your files: it contains these terms as they stood when you paid.

11. Personal data

We handle your data as described in our privacy policy at bilbox.com.ua/en/privacy. Paddle handles the data you give at checkout under its own privacy notice at paddle.com/legal/privacy.

12. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the law of Ukraine. If you buy as a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory law of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts of that country where its law allows. Your purchase from Paddle is governed by Paddle's buyer terms.

If something goes wrong, please write to us first: we try to settle every dispute by e-mail. You can still turn to a consumer protection authority or a court.
