CROSSPROMOTED’s Rights:

CROSSPROMOTED has the following rights:

  • CROSSPROMOTED can make changes to CROSSPROMOTED without notice or liability.
  • CROSSPROMOTED has the right to decide who is eligible to use CROSSPROMOTED. We can cancel accounts or decline to offer our Services.
  • CROSSPROMOTED can change our eligibility criteria at any time. If these things are prohibited by law where you live, then we revoke your right to use CROSSPROMOTED in that jurisdiction.
  • CROSSPROMOTED has the right to reject, cancel, interrupt, remove, or suspend any Project at any time and for any reason.
  • CROSSPROMOTED is not liable for any damages as a result of any of these actions, and it is our policy not to comment on the reasons for any such action.
  • CROSSPROMOTED reserves the right to prohibit or remove a Project for any reason, including if the Project Creator is significantly delayed by in fulfilling a prior crowdfunding project on CROSSPROMOTED or any other platform.

Relationships between Backers and Project Creators

CROSSPROMOTED provides a platform for project creators to promote their project to backers and nothing more. When a Project Creator posts a project on CROSSPROMOTED and allows CROSSPROMOTED Pledges, they’re inviting other people to form a contract with them. Anyone who backs a project is accepting the Project Creator’ s offer, and forming that contract. When this occurs, CROSSPROMOTED is not a party to this contract. The contract is a direct legal agreement between creators and their backers.

Here are the terms that govern that agreement:
Throughout the process, Project Creators owe their backers a high standard of effort, honest communication, and a dedication to bringing the project to life. At the same time, Backers must understand that when they back a project, they’re helping to create something new— not ordering something that already exists. There may be changes or delays, and there’s a chance something could happen that prevents the creator from being able to finish the project as promised.

If a Project Creator is unable to complete their endeavor and fulfill Rewards/Discounts, they’ve failed to live up to the basic obligations of this agreement. To right this, they must make every reasonable effort to find another way of bringing the project to the best possible conclusion for backers.

Regardless of how CROSSPROMOTED is used, the following apply:

  • Rewards are not offered by CROSSPROMOTED
  • CROSSPROMOTED is not party to any transaction with Backers. Aside from transactions between CROSSPROMOTED and Project Creators specifically mentioned below under “Service Fees”, CROSSPROMOTED is not party to any transaction with any User.
  • CROSSPROMOTED makes no representations about the quality, safety, morality or legality of any Project, Reward, or Pledge, or the truth or accuracy of User Content (as defined below) posted on the Services.
  • CROSSPROMOTED does not represent that Project Creators will deliver Rewards or that Pledges will be used as described in the Project or on any other Platform.
  • Users use CROSSPROMOTED at their own risk.

Disputes

CROSSPROMOTED may, from time to time, help facilitate communication between Project Creators and CROSSPROMOTED Backers. CROSSPROMOTED may also sometimes provide guidance to Project Creators, Backers, and other Users concerning payment disputes. CROSSPROMOTED may attempt to help the parties move to a mutually satisfying resolution. When such occurrences happen, the provision of any such guidance in any communication shall be considered common – sense, and not expert, financial, or legal advice. Any guidance provided by CROSSPROMOTED to Project Creators, Backers, or Users in will not be construed as acceptance of any official involvement in the dispute as advisor, mediator, arbitrator, fiduciary, or any other legally meaningful role.

Project Creators may be legally bound to perform on any promise and / or commitment to Backers (including delivering any Rewards/Discounts). CROSSPROMOTED does not recognize any third – party and / or agency affiliated with the Project or Project Creator. CROSSPROMOTED is not involved in, and is under no obligation to become involved in, disputes between Project Creators, Backers, Users, or any third – party.
