C$1 VIP reservation terms
[DRAFT - lawyer review] These terms are a draft. They are not in force, are not legal advice, and reservations are not open yet. Dates and prices are the current plan and may change before launch.
Last updated: 16 October 2026 (draft)
C$1 VIP reservation. VIP price: C$199.
The C$1 is a reservation fee that holds a VIP spot. It is not a purchase of the map and it is not deducted from your Kickstarter pledge.
1. What you get
- On launch day we email you a private link to the VIP reward on our Kickstarter campaign: one Toronto Live Map at the VIP price.
- The VIP price. C$199 for one Toronto Live Map, the lowest price at which we offer the map during the Kickstarter campaign.
- If our plans change before launch, the VIP price does not go up for anyone who has already reserved.
- Planned launch: Tuesday 19 January 2027, 11:00 Toronto time. The VIP email goes out right after.
- VIP spots are limited to 75. When they are taken, the reservation link closes, so everyone who has reserved can get the VIP price.
- The VIP reward stays open to reservers for 48 hours after launch. To get the VIP price, back the campaign through your private link within that time.
- VIP updates before launch: behind-the-scenes photos and the launch details a day early.
2. What it is not
- Not a purchase or a pre-order. You buy nothing by reserving and you owe nothing. To get a map you back the campaign on Kickstarter, under Kickstarter's terms. Backing a Kickstarter project means supporting a project that is still being made. Delivery dates are estimates; the current estimate is October 2027.
- Not a credit. The C$1 is separate from your pledge and is not deducted from it.
- Shipping and sales tax are not included in the VIP price. They are charged after the campaign. Planned rates:
- Canada: C$25 flat, or free pick-up in Toronto, plus sales tax.
- USA: about C$45 including duties.
3. Refunds
- The C$1 reservation fee is non-refundable, except in the two cases below.
- If the campaign does not launch by 30 April 2027, we refund every reservation automatically.
- If you reserved more than once by mistake, write to info@vivolit.ca from the address you reserved with and we refund the extra reservations.
- Refunds go back to the card you paid with within 2 business days. Your bank may take a few more days to show them.
4. If the launch date or the plan changes
- If the launch date moves, we email you the new date and your reservation stays valid.
- If anything else above changes before launch, we tell you by email first.
5. How to reserve
- Use the "Reserve VIP for C$1" button on torontolivemap.ca or in our emails. It opens a payment page run by Stripe, which handles your card details. We receive your name, email address and the payment record, never your card number.
- The charge appears on your statement as VIVOLIT.
- One reservation per person and per email address.
- The price is C$1.00 in Canadian dollars, including GST/HST where it applies.
6. Emails
Reserving means you will receive the messages needed for the reservation:
- the receipt (sent by Stripe);
- a few VIP updates;
- the launch-day link;
- refund confirmations.
You get our general launch news only if you also signed up for it. How we handle your information is described on the privacy page.
