A perk is something the artist offers for backing at a certain level: a signed record, a show, a song written for you. The price on a perk is a minimum, so you can give more and still get it. You can also give without a perk at all.
The rules every perk follows
- Limited quantities. When 10 or fewer are left, the page says so. When a perk is sold out, it says that too, and you can pick another or give without one.
- Your pick is held while you pay. Choosing a perk holds it for 45 minutes, long enough to finish on Stripe's page, so it can't sell out under you.
- Perks close on a date the page shows. After that the page stays open and you can still back the project, just without a perk.
- A delivery estimate. Each perk shows the month the artist expects to deliver. If it moves, the artist tells you by email and says why.
- Physical perks ship within the US. You add a shipping address at checkout, and we delete it 90 days after your perk ships.
- If a perk can't be delivered, you choose: wait, or take a full refund.
What the artist promises
Perks are the artist's to fulfil, and they set the delivery dates. Before a campaign goes live we check that every perk has a plain description, a delivery month and a real quantity limit, and we hold the artist to the dates they set.
