What is Preorderz?

Preorderz is an online pre-ordering platform that brings Users together and allows Users to create Preorder crowdfunding campaigns (“Campaigns” and “Campaign Owners”) seek to raise funds for their own products before manufacturing as well as to contribute to the Campaigns of others.

  5. You may not impersonate any person or entity, engage in fraud or provide false information. 
  6. You may not use the Services in any manner that is unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, tortious, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another’s privacy, hateful, or racially or ethnically objectionable. 
  7. You may not upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, “junk mail,” “spam,” “chain letters,” or “pyramid schemes”.

Fees

There are no fees for creating an account on the Site. 

Campaign Owners are charged a fee (“Platform Fee”) as a portion of the funds they raise (“Funds”). In addition, Campaign Owners are charged a transaction fee by the payment processor. Transfer and similar fees are also applied each time we send Funds to a Campaign Owners’ bank account.

 

Campaign Owners

As a Campaign Owner, when you create a Campaign on the Site and ask for Funds you understand that you are entering a legal agreement with both us and with Users who are buyers, and the following rules apply in addition to the others.

  1. Please use your best efforts to fulfill the products, gifts or rewards offered by you to buyers (“Benefits”) associated with a Campaign in the timeframe that is communicated to buyers.
  2. Immediately notify the buyers if there are any issues or anticipated delays.
  3. Be responsive to any questions or requests we make.
  4. Provide substantive and comprehensive updates.
  5. Issue refunds promptly to buyers if you cannot deliver Benefits.
  6. Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the use of Funds and delivery of Benefits.
  7. Campaign Owners should be prepared and able to substantiate claims made in their Campaign, including relating to product features and capabilities, the stage of product development, and timelines for delivery. If they are unable to substantiate the claims they have made, we may ban their account, withhold funds, or take such other actions (at our discretion) to enforce rights under this Agreement and applicable law, as well as rights of other Users.
  8. When you create a Campaign, you may receive information about other Users, including personally identifiable information such as names, e-mail addresses, and addresses. This information is provided to you solely for the purpose of fulfilling the orders for the applicable Campaign and other Services and may not be used or disclosed for other purposes, including cross-promotional marketing, without separate, verifiable consent from the User obtained independently from us or the Service. You will evidence, and be required to produce if requested, records of all such verifiable consent. Any use of User information for any other purpose or in breach of these Terms will lead to the immediate termination of the Campaign and freezing of all Funds.
  9. Funds may be deemed taxable income to the Campaign Owner and any beneficiary who will receive funds directly from the applicable Campaign. We may ask for the tax identification number (TIN) of Campaign Owners and any beneficiaries so that we may report taxable income to the relevant taxing authorities. We will provide Campaign Owners with a tax document if required by the relevant taxing authorities. We are unable to provide any User or third party with tax advice and suggest that such Users or third parties consult with tax advisors of their choice. The shipment of Benefits to buyers may expose Campaign Owners and buyers to sales and use tax obligations.

 

No Guarantee by Us – No Investigation of Campaign 

We do not guarantee that any Campaign will be successful, that any statements made in a Campaign are truthful or accurate, that any product development timeline will be complied with or that Benefits will be provided according to the promised time schedule or at all. We are not under any duty to investigate any statements made by a Campaign Owner. 

Notwithstanding, we may, but are not required to, request information from Campaign Owners to investigate possible breaches or misinformation. The information we may request includes, but is not limited to, information to support Campaign statements, evidence that the Campaign Owner is taking actions to deliver promised Benefits, manufacturing and shipping timelines and information, source documentation to substantiate product claims and Campaign promises, product prototypes, and personal information to confirm the identity of Campaign Owners, vendors, and suppliers. We may also employ third parties to assess such information. 

Campaign Owners agree to provide this information to us promptly upon request. Failure to do so within 14 days, or a longer time provided by us in writing, shall be deemed a material breach of these Terms.

Withholding of funds

Campaign Owners are not guaranteed to receive Funds made to a Campaign, even after the Campaign has ended and the fundraising goal has been reached. There may be a delay between the end of a Campaign and our transfer of Funds to a Campaign Owner for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, refunds, chargeback disputes, fraud, Terms or other policy violations. For example, we may withhold Funds made to a Campaign if the Campaign Owner violates any of these Terms (as determined by us in our sole discretion). Additionally, we may withhold funds pending the receipt and evaluation of information requested above. If you do not provide information within the requested time or are not able to substantiate claims made in your Campaign, we may ban your Campaign and account and avail ourselves of any remedies available to it under this Agreement or applicable law. We may also withhold funds from Campaign Owners for any other breach of these Terms. We may also seek reimbursement from a Campaign Owner by any other lawful means, including by using third-party collection services.

Refunds

We offer a limited refund to buyers in accordance with our Refund Policy. Refunds outside of our Refund Policy must be handled by the Campaign Owner, and we have no obligation to provide any refunds or become involved with any dispute between a Campaign Owner and User. We reserve the right to ban User accounts and remove Campaigns for any abuse of the Refund Policy. We reserve our right to issue refunds at our own discretion outside of the Refund Policy.

Please remember that as a Campaign Owner, you are solely responsible for the obligations of your Campaign and delivering your product. If you are unable to comply with your undertakings and obligations, you may be subject to legal action by buyers.

Clarification of our role and our rights 

As noted above:

  1. We do not guarantee, endorse or certify Campaigns or Benefits.  
  2. We may cancel Campaigns and refund Funds at our discretion. 
  3. We may require you to provide information about your Campaign before disbursing Funds. 
  4. We do not guarantee Refunds outside our Refund Policy.
  5. We do not become involved in legal issues between Users. We bear no liability, and have no obligation to investigate, participate, or become involved, in any dispute between Users, including between buyers and Campaign Owners.
  6. Campaign Owners are responsible for their Campaigns, even if we assist the Campaign Owner with the process. 
  7. We reserve the right to monitor, ban, suspend, or delete any User Account at any time in our sole discretion. We have no obligation to comment on any reasons for account monitoring, termination, suspension, or deletion.
  8. We have no liability to you or third parties for any use of the Services associated with your account or Campaign. Upon suspension or termination of your account, you must cease all use of the Services and User Content. Your representations and warranties shall survive termination.
  9. We reserve the right to suspend or ban a Campaign if it does not comply with these Terms in our sole discretion. In the event of termination, we may refund any and all Campaign funds received by a Campaign Owner to backers and may seek reimbursement from you for any funds you have already received from us. We may also avail ourselves of any of the remedies provided for in these Terms and any remedies available to enforce its rights under these Terms or applicable law.

If your account has been terminated or suspended, you shall not register a new account for our Services.
