VIN Caption Payment Policy
Made-to-order artwork · 50% deposit to begin · Final 50% due before delivery
Deposit to Start
A 50% deposit is required at checkout to reserve your production slot and begin Week 1–2 photo capture and caption curation. This covers artist time, photo review and selection, curation of 1,000+ images, and development of your Top 10 signature captions.
Cancellation Window
If you cancel within 30 days of commissioning and before Design Proof #1 approval, you will receive 25% of your deposit back. The remaining amount covers work already completed — photo review, caption selection, and administration.
After 30 days, or after Design Proof #1 approval, the deposit becomes non-refundable.
After Design Proof Approval
Once Design Proof #1 is approved, we begin building your final digital composition. At this stage all sales become final — the artwork is custom to your VIN and cannot be resold or repurposed.
Final Balance
The remaining 50% balance is due at Week 7, after your approval of the full-scale digital preview. Canvas production, finishing, and insured shipping begin only after final payment is received.

Why These Policies Exist
Every VIN Caption is a custom commission tied to a specific vehicle, while every Rendition is part of a limited edition run. These policies protect the artist time, materials, and production costs invested in each piece — while giving you clear expectations and confidence throughout the process.
Delivery Delays
If your order is not delivered within 30 days of the estimated delivery date confirmed at checkout, you may contact us to request a full refund under your rights under the Ontario Consumer Protection Act, 2002. We will process eligible refunds within 15 days of your written request.
