Terms and Policies: Return, Refund, Cancellation

Details of our official return and cancellation policies are below. At a high level, our terms and policies can be summarized as:

• Backers aren’t charged until the funding goal has been met.
• We work with creators to ensure the funding goal is enough to manufacture and deliver the product.
• If a creator cannot or will not deliver the product they promised, they are required to provide a refund.
• We are strong advocates of digital privacy and security.

Important Note that return and refund policies differ depending on whether the item being returned was purchased as a regular or pre-order, or if it was received from making a pledge to a crowdfunding campaign. Items from a campaign pledge are refunded/replaced at the discretion of the creator. Regular or pre-orders are refunded by Crowd Supply. If you don’t understand the difference, please take a look at the Guide page on supporting campaigns.

Backer Pledge Cancellation Policy

• Backers are only charged if a Project meets its funding goal.
• If a project does not meet the stated funding goal, the project is cancelled and backers are not charged for their pledge commitments.
• Backers who pledge to fund a project that is successful in meeting its stated funding goal will be charged soon after the project meets the target funding goal (which may come before the campaign end date). These funds are transferred to the project creator in order to finalize development and begin production.
• Pledges made after a project has met the funding goal are immediately charged. No cancellations can be made at this time.

Campaign Pledge Product Return Policy

At the discretion of the product creator, items committed to backers as a result of a crowdfunding campaign may, or may not, be exchanged or refunded. The product creator is responsible for providing a good faith estimate of the product description, risks, and timeline for their projects. However, backers need to know that due to the uncertainties inherent in creating products during the early stage of development, changes to features, performance, and/or appearance may occur between when a project is originally presented and when it is produced. Reasons for this may include technology limitations, supply issues, or other factors outside of the developer’s control. Timelines may slip, and in rare instances a project that was funded may not be completed and delivered. Backers should only pledge to a creator’s project if they are comfortable accepting this risk. If a backer is dissatisfied with a product they should contact the project creator to express their concerns.

Crowd Supply Store Product Return Policy (in-stock and pre-orders)

For all items pre-ordered from the Crowd Supply Store, customers can cancel their order for a refund (less transaction fees, if applicable) at any time prior to product shipment. For all items purchased from stock in the Crowd Supply Store, customers are provided a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Should any item fail to meet your expectations, simply return the item in new condition and we will gladly exchange it or issue a refund.
