Indiegogo is not responsible for user content

Indiegogo takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any other Users or third parties post or send over the Service. You understand and agree that any loss or damage of any kind that occurs as a result of the use of any User Content that you send, upload, download, stream, post, transmit, display, or otherwise make available or access through your use of the Service, is solely your responsibility. Indiegogo is not responsible for any public display or misuse of your User Content. You understand and acknowledge that you may be exposed to User Content that is inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable, and you agree that Indiegogo shall not be liable for any damages you allege to incur as a result of such User Content"

Questions about Perks should be directed to the Campaign Owner

A contribution is a transaction that takes place solely between the campaign owner and the contributor. Contributors must contact campaign owners with any questions about Perk fulfillment.

If you have made multiple attempts to contact a campaign owner and they have not fulfilled their Perks, notify support@indiegogo.com. We will attempt to contact the campaign owner on your behalf and can suspend their account, if necessary.

Contributions are nonrefundable

All contributions are final. You may request a refund from the campaign owner, who may honor it at their discretion. You may also receive a refund for your contribution if the campaign does not raise enough to cover minimum costs, or if the campaign is set up as Fixed Funding and does not meet its goal.

We can use your campaign in our marketing & press outreach

"By posting any Member Content on the Service, you expressly grant, and you represent and warrant that you have a right to grant, to Indiegogo a royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, list information regarding, edit, translate, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, and make derivative works of all such Member Content including, without limitation, your name, voice, and/or likeness as contained in your Member Content, in whole or in part, and in any form, media or technology, whether now known or hereafter developed for use in connection with the Service."

Indiegogo does not issue tax deductions

We are not a 501c-3 non-profit organizations, thus we cannot issue tax deductible receipts. Your tax deductible receipt and any tax information must come from the non-profit entity that is managing the campaign.

You must be at least 13 years old to use our site

"You may use our services if: You are 18 years or older or between the ages of 13 and 17 and using the Website and Services with parental or legal guardian consent and supervision."

If you are between the ages of 13 and 18 and would like to be a campaign owner on Indiegogo, you will need to add a parent or legal guardian to your campaign as a team member in order to confirm that your use of www.indiegogo.com is supervised.
