Crowd-Funded Products

Each crowd-funded product will have its own duration when you can back the crowd-funded product, each a “Project Backing Period.”  Once the minimum number of backings is met, your backing becomes a final order and is non-refundable. Subsequently, the crowd-funded product will be made and shipped. 

You will provide your payment information when you back a crowd-funded product, and you will be charged at that time. If the project has not reached its minimum backing goal during the Project Backing Period, your original form of payment will be refunded. You may check the main page for each crowd-funded product you backed to see if the minimum commitment goal has been met. 

You can cancel your backing at any time before the completion of the Project Backing Period by contacting us at [email protected] or via our Help Desk, as posted on the main page for each crowd-funded campaign. We reserve the right to revoke your backing at any time in our sole reasonable discretion, including as a result of an actual or suspected violation of these Terms of Use.
