This custom material deposit secures the cost of return shipping for materials specifically sourced or created for your project. In the event that you choose not to proceed with the order, the deposit covers the expense of returning these materials to the supplier or compensating for their unique nature, acknowledging that they may not be suitable for other projects. This deposit is non-refundable once the custom material procurement or creation process has begun, as it compensates for irretrievable costs incurred.
