​
Machines are sourced and sold through SFM Contracting LLC (Separate Company) and the Hosting & Repair Services are sold through Stellar Forge Mining LLC (Stellar Forge Mining LLC is only a Data Center Hosting & Repair Provider - Stellar Forge Mining LLC is not a virtual currency miner nor does it sell machines - all payments are received for Hosting & Repair Services in USD).

Such amounts will be listed separately or combined on your invoice.
Pre-Orders & Service Orders

Your order constitutes an offer to buy a product or service. All orders are subject to our acceptance, and we will confirm such acceptance by sending an email to you confirming our acceptance of your order. The contract between us will be formed when we send the Confirmation Email.
Advances or Deposits

Based on your creditworthiness or for other reasons, we may establish limits and restrict the provision of Products or Services as deemed appropriate.
Payments
Payment of each invoice for the Products or Services is due in full, without deduction or offset, after your receipt of the invoice.

​
From time to time, as machine hashrates of the same unit type/model vary, there is no way to guarantee as to what hashrate the factory may release or substitute to us. Industry satisfactory substitutes may happen and in no way change what is valued at time of purchase or a customer order. If the factory offers a reimbursement for a change, which is not typical, Stellar Forge at its sole discretion will make a decision as to what to do, but in no way is Stellar Forge required to compensate customers for the difference in variance.
