Cancellation & Return Policy
General Info
GiveAshare.com is absolutely committed to satisfying customers. If you are not satisfied in any way, please let us know. The uniqueness and highly customized nature of our product influences our cancellation and return policy for two main reasons:
- Real Stock Registration – We work with other financial institutions to legally register the recipient as a shareholder of the company purchased. Once this legal process is started, it cannot be stopped.
- Reliance on Customer Provided Information for Customization – We rely on the information that you provide to legally register the share of stock, to engrave personalized plaques, and for shipping/billing. As a result, you the customer, have responsibility for this aspect of quality.
Carefully enter your order with correct names, spelling, and punctuation, particularly the shareholder and plaque engraving information. You can review your entries on the review page, the order confirmation page, the confirmation email, and the order status page. If you place a phone order, you are responsible for reviewing the confirmation email or order status page and communicating issues immediately.
Our cancellation and return policies and your ability to make changes and corrections are all dependent on the status of your order at the time you contact us. The goal is to contact us before the times below to maximize your options and save you money:
- Plaque Engraving – Plaques are generally engraved within 1 business day from order date.
- Share of Stock Registration – The legal stock registration process is generally started 2-7 business days from order date.
- Shipping - Timing of shipment depends on what is ordered. Typical orders can ship as early as same day to 2 business days, while custom stock orders can take 3-9 weeks.
Note that cancellation and return policy terms apply to the purchaser and not the recipient of a gift.

Policies
Our cancellation policy is designed to maximize your refund but considers any costs we have incurred which is dependent on what you buy and when you change or cancel your order. Below is the approximate timing of when we incur costs. We will make this calculation at the time of the change/cancellation and will not charge you if we have not incurred the cost so call or email us ASAP.
Plaque Engraving
Once your plaque in engraved (~1 business day from order) we cannot refund the plaque price and we will have to charge for a new plaque ($10) if there are any changes.
Share of Stock Registration
Once we start the legal stock registration process (2-7 business days from order), it cannot be stopped so we cannot refund the share (and associated fee) portion of your order. Note: We can help the recipient work with the transfer agent to get a correction made or to transfer or sell the share.
Shipping
Once we ship your product (timing of shipment depends on what is ordered - typical orders can be shipped as early as same-day while custom share orders can take 3-9 weeks), your order cannot be canceled but see return policy below.
We will cancel and refund the amount due to your credit/debit card within 5 business days of receipt. Note that it can take your bank 3-5 business days to process.
