The terms
What you're agreeing to when you back an artist here, without the legalese.
Draft for review before launch. It's written in plain words on purpose, but it isn't legal advice: have someone qualified look it over.
Who you're paying
You're paying We Fund Artists. Payments are processed by Stripe into our account, so we're the seller, and your card statement shows WFA and the artist's name. We keep 5% of each contribution and Stripe charges its card fee; everything else goes to the artist. You see both before you pay, and you can choose to cover them.
How the money works
Campaigns are keep-what-you-raise: your contribution goes to the project even if the goal isn't reached. Contributions aren't tax-deductible, and they aren't an investment: you don't get a share of the music or its royalties.
Perks
Every perk shows an estimated delivery month. Making things takes time and sometimes it slips; if it does, you'll get an email explaining why and when to expect it instead. Perks are only attached to contributions started before the perk deadline.
Refunds
Changed your mind? Ask within 14 days for a full refund, no questions asked. If your perk can't be delivered, you can choose a full refund instead of waiting. To ask, reply to your receipt email or write to hello@wefundartists.com.
If plans change
If the project changes in a big way (a different release, a much later date), everyone who backed it hears about it by email first, with the option of a refund.
