With crowdfunding the date of delivery is the date the campaign completes, not the date the rewards, if any, are shipped/published/whatever. At worst given the typical 30 day campaign that means they don't need to worry about chargebacks more than 220 days out. That's still nearly a year, but honestly I think once a campaign funds they shouldn't even process chargebacks against it unless the original backing can be shown to be fraudulent (I.E. stolen CC).
- mistercow 13y agoIt seems that way to me too. Funding a campaign isn't buying a product (and that we have coming to treat it as such is a Problem). The question, I suppose, is whether the credit card company will see it that way. Years ago, when I was working on a shareware app for the Mac (long before the App Store), I released the beta as donationware, and gave users the incentive of a free license for version 1.0 if they donated a certain amount (which increased with each update). It was very small scale, but it allowed me to bring in some income while I was working on the project, and gave me an incentive to get it done. But it was an incentive for a donation, and that donation could be any amount. It wasn't a preorder, and it would have been silly to treat it as such. It actually hadn't occurred to me until just now that what I was doing was crowdfunding before it was called "crowdfunding".
