3. Accuracy, Completeness and Timeliness of Information
We are not responsible if information made available on this site is not accurate, complete, or current. The material on this site is provided for general information only and should not be relied upon or used as the sole basis for making decisions without consulting primary, more accurate, more complete, or more timely sources of information. Any reliance on the material on this site is at your own risk. This site may contain certain historical information.

4. Modifications to the Services and Prices
Prices for our products and services are subject to change without notice.

We shall not be liable to you or any third-party for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service. This includes services such as reward programs, courier integrations, delivery lead times, pre-order items, etc.
5. Production or Services
Certain products or services may be available exclusively online through the website. These products or services may have limited quantities and are subject to return or exchange only according to our Refund and Return Policy. We offer a specialized service on customer request, for creating commissioned Custom Pops of famous individuals, characters, hero’s, movies, anime, Trademark/Branded Logo’s or games. Unlike mass-produced figures, each Custom Pop figure is a one-of-a-kind homage, crafted with care based on your provided photos and details. These commissioned Custom Pops, intended strictly for personal use, are created in accordance with the principles of fair use and fan art, which allow for transformative use of copyrighted material for creative expression (We do not own the rights to any third-party branding or logos). Our Custom Pops match the iconic size and general appearance of mass-produced vinyl figures, but we distinguish our creations with unique, handcrafted features such as lifelike eyes, expressions, and mouths. This blend ensures each piece is not only distinctive but also respects originality, avoiding any trademark or copyright conflicts. As a result, each piece seamlessly integrates into your existing collection, providing a personalized touch that stands out. While we make every effort to avoid breaching copyright laws, we leverage fair use and fan art principles to ensure creative expression within legal boundaries. However, please note that engaging our services entails inherent risks associated with fan art and fair use practices. Remember, these commissioned pieces are not for mass production or resale, aligning with copyright and trademark laws. By engaging our services, you acknowledge and accept these risks, thereby limiting liability on Custom Pop in the event of any breach.
6. Accuracy of Billing and Account Information
We reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household, or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made at our store. You agree to promptly update your account and other information, including your email address and credit card numbers and expiration dates, so that we can complete your transactions and contact you as needed. For more detail, please review our Refund and Returns Policy.
