Campaign Owners are not permitted to create a Campaign to raise funds for illegal activities, to cause harm to people or property, or to scam others. If the Campaign is claiming to do the impossible or it’s just plain phony, don’t post it. Users must comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with their Campaigns, including using Contributions. Campaign Owners shall not make any false or misleading statements in connection with their Campaigns.
Campaign Owners must not: (1) include threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, or profane content in any Campaign, or content that is invasive of another’s privacy; (2) impersonate any person or entity, including any employee or representative of BULSHOKAAB, or (3) infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, or other right of any other person or entity, or violate any law or contract.

Campaign Owners are legally bound to perform on any promise and/or commitment to Contributors (including delivering any Perks). BULSHOKAAB does not recognize any third party and/or agency affiliated with the Campaign as a Campaign Owner. If a Campaign Owner is unable to fulfill any of its commitments to Contributors (including delivery of any Perks), the Campaign Owner will work with the Contributors to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution, which may include refunding Contributions. Please note that if Campaign funds have been disbursed to the Campaign Owner, then it is the Campaign Owner’s responsibility to issue refunds to Contributors. BULSHOKAAB is under no obligation to become involved in disputes between Campaign Owners and Contributors, or Users and any third party. In addition, BULSHOKAAB is under no obligation to become involved in disputes regarding the determination of the rightful Campaign Owner, and will not be obligated to make any changes to Campaign Owner accounts or transfer of ownership. In the event of any dispute, such as a Campaign Owner’s alleged failure to comply with the Terms or alleged failure in fulfillment of a Perk, we may provide the Campaign Owner’s contact information to the Contributor so that the two parties may resolve their dispute.
All information submitted in connection with a User account on the Services (each, a "User Account") must be accurate and truthful. Users agree to notify BULSHOKAAB immediately if their User Account has been used without authorization or there has been any other breach of security of the User Account. Each User also agrees to provide additional information BULSHOKAAB may reasonably request and to answer truthfully and completely any questions BULSHOKAAB might ask you in order to verify such User’s identity.
License to Users and Use of BULSHOKAAB Trademarks BULSHOKAAB grants each User a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the Services subject to such User’s eligibility and continued compliance with the Terms. With the exception of User Content (defined in the User Content paragraph below), all content made available through the BULSHOKAAB platform, such as, but not limited to, text, graphics, logos, button icons, images, audio clips, and software, is the property of BULSHOKAAB or other Campaign Owners and is protected by United States and international intellectual property laws. The trademarks BULSHOKAAB®, FUNDED WITH BULSHOKAAB®, TOGETHER DO ANYTHING® and GENEROSITY® are federally registered trademarks owned by BULSHOKAAB, Inc. Users are strictly prohibited from registering domain names, social media accounts, user names, handles, trademarks, copyrights, apps, trade names, or corporate names that incorporate any of BULSHOKAAB’s trademarks or are confusingly similar to any of BULSHOKAAB’s trademarks.
Campaign Owners are permitted to offer perks to Contributors. Campaign Owners are legally bound to perform on any promise and/or commitment to Contributors (including delivering any Perks). This commitment includes shipping Perks to BULSHOKAAB Contributors before fulfilling any orders received after the Campaign has ended. For Campaign Owners participating in programs with our retail partners, failure to ship orders to BULSHOKAAB Contributors first may result in removal from such retail partnership programs.
Campaign Owners will respond promptly and truthfully to all questions posed to them by BULSHOKAAB or any Contributor. Campaign Owners will provide substantive and quality updates at least once a month to their Contributors. Failure to do so may result in punitive actions taken on the Campaign. If any Campaign Owner is unable to fulfill any of its commitments to Contributors (including delivering any Perks), the Campaign Owner will work with the Contributors to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution, which may include refunding their Contributions.
Your location as reflected on your Campaign page must match your legal residence that you submit to BULSHOKAAB when you create the Campaign. Campaign Owners may not create multiple Campaigns without proof of meeting fulfillment obligations from the original Campaign. Failure to adequately fulfill Campaign obligations may result in BULSHOKAAB removing the Campaign(s) from BULSHOKAAB, and seeking reimbursement of Campaign funds raised, including by using third-party collections services. Only the Campaign Owner shall be permitted to collect Campaign funds. BULSHOKAAB will not be required to disburse Campaign funds to any third parties.
Campaign Owners will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the use of Contributions and delivery of Perks. Campaign Owners are responsible for collecting and remitting any taxes on Contributions, and any taxes due in connection with Perks. Campaign Owners may not use a false email address to self-fund, or contribute to, their own Campaigns; this is a violation of Stripe policies and of our Terms of Use.
BULSHOKAAB may attempt to verify the identity and other information provided to us by Campaign Owners, and we may delay, withhold, reverse or refund any Contributions or other amounts without notice or liability in the event we are unable to verify any such information to our satisfaction. Campaign Owner eligibility is subject to BULSHOKAAB’s review of the fulfillment status of prior crowdfunding obligations. BULSHOKAAB reserves the right to prohibit or remove a Campaign if the Campaign Owner is delayed by three months or more in fulfilling a prior crowdfunding project on BULSHOKAAB or another platform.
If the amounts raised by a Campaign on BULSHOKAAB exceed a certain threshold, and/or a Campaign has a high number of refunds or chargebacks (each as determined by BULSHOKAAB in its sole discretion), BULSHOKAAB may withhold a percentage of the Campaign funds for period of time as determined by BULSHOKAAB in its discretion and in accordance with Campaign reviews. BULSHOKAAB will manage all refunds during this time. The minimum goal set by a Campaign Owner must be at least $500. This is applied to Campaigns with either Fixed or Flexible funding.
You acknowledge that as a Campaign Owner, if you do not act in accordance with BULSHOKAAB’s Terms, BULSHOKAAB may obtain reimbursement of any amounts owed by a Campaign Owner to BULSHOKAAB by holding funds from your Campaign, or from the connected Stripe or bank account associated with your Campaign, or by seeking reimbursement from the Campaign Owner by any other lawful means, including by using third-party collections services.
