yes, it's a fundamentally different product. and that should be a reminder why backing something on kickstarter is not the same as purchasing a product. You made a bet that they would send you the product you wanted. You lost that bet.
- bcj 12y agoAgreed. Half the reason I've kept my pre-order was as a reminder.
- CHY872 12y agoNope, not under Kickstarter rules. If a company offers items as rewards, it has a contractual obligation to provide those items.
- notatoad 12y agodo you have a link to that rule? i don't see it on their site, only this: https://www.kickstarter.com/rules https://www.kickstarter.com/rules this:https://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/kickstarter+basics#faq_41856 https://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/kickstarter+basics#faq_... and this: https://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/kickstarter+basics#faq_41862 https://www.kickstarter.com/help/faq/kickstarter+basics#faq_... all of which seem to pretty clearly say you might not get what you think you paid for.
- maxerickson 12y agohttps://www.kickstarter.com/terms-of-use#section4 https://www.kickstarter.com/terms-of-use#section4 There's a bunch of soft language, but it ends with If they’re unable to satisfy the terms of this agreement, they may be subject to legal action by backers. But as davefp already pointed out, Kickstarter isn't relevant here.
- davefp 12y agoLockitron wasn't funded on Kickstarter. They built their own self-hosted solution, called selfstarter: http://www.selfstarter.us/ http://www.selfstarter.us/
- mikeash 12y agoI'm in this boat and Kickstarter was never involved. I placed a bog-standard pre-order through their web site.
