But often the rewards seem incidental to the project. For example, "Backers at the $1000 level will get a T-shirt signed by the development staff".
The T-shirt and signatures are completely incidental to the project being kick-started, yet the arguments here are as if someone had purchased a T-shirt on Ebay for $1000 and the seller failed to ship.
- dragonwriter 14y agoIn the case of purely incidental rewards, the project creator ought to provide the rewards independently of the success of the project, and so as close as practical to the date originally estimated: otherwise, given the KS terms of service -- which require fulfillment or a refund, and require a good faith effort to meet the estimated date -- the situation is pretty much exactly analogous, from a legal perspective, to purchasing a T-shirt for $1000 and the seller failing to ship.
- marshray 14y agoYeah, I'm saying that's suboptimal and maybe kinda perverse.
