Terms of Service
Effective September 18, 2026
How Backed works
Backed lets creators publish reward or preorder crowdfunding projects. Backers support a project in exchange for the reward described by its creator. Backing a project is not an investment and does not provide equity, ownership or a financial return.
Funding
Each project has a funding goal and deadline. The funding goal is a progress target and does not determine whether a creator receives proceeds from successful backings. Any starting amount shown separately from paid backings is campaign progress supplied by the project owner and is not represented as a payment or backer.
Creator responsibilities
Creators are responsible for presenting projects honestly, using funds as described, communicating material changes and making a good-faith effort to deliver promised rewards. Estimated dates are estimates, not guarantees.
Backer responsibilities
Backers must provide accurate information and understand that supporting a project involves risk. Backed does not guarantee that a creator will complete a project or deliver a reward.
Content and conduct
Projects and messages must be honest and lawful. Illegal goods or services, malware, phishing, scams, hate speech, impersonation and misleading claims are prohibited. Backed may suspend or remove content that breaches these terms or applicable law.
Payments and refunds
Payments, when enabled, are handled by a third-party payment provider. Backed does not store full card details. Backed charges creators a 5% platform fee on each successful backing; payment processing fees are additional. Refunds, cancellations and fulfillment are governed by the project terms, the payment provider's rules and applicable law.
Service availability
We may change, suspend or discontinue parts of Backed. To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided as available without guarantees of uninterrupted operation.
