You are responsible for any and all account activity conducted by a minor on your account.

You may not take any action that infringes or violates other people’s rights, violates the law, or breaches any contract or legal duty you may have toward any party.

- Fees. There are fees to access our educational materials and campaign Creators are charged a Platform Fee, which is the standard fee of 5% of the Contributions raised on the Site. We reserve the right to vary this rate for specific campaigns in agreement with the Campaign Creator. In addition, Campaign Creators are charged a payment processor transaction fee. [On occasion it is possible that a contribution made by a Campaign Contributor may be returned to the Campaign Contributor by Stripe (for example if there has been fraud on their debit/credit card). In these circumstances, it may be that the amount shown on the Impresario website will show a higher amount raised on a campaign until Impresario is informed by Stripe of the need to make an adjustment. Once we have been informed, we will endeavor to make the adjustment within 2 working days.] Payment processing services are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the “Stripe Services Agreement”). By agreeing to these Terms of Service or continuing to operate as a Campaign Creator on the Site, you agree to be bound by the Stripe Services Agreement, as the same may be modified by Stripe from time to time; provided, however, that this Agreement shall govern if there is any discrepancy between this Agreement and the Stripe Services Agreement. As a condition of Impresario enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide Impresario with accurate and complete information about you and (if applicable) your business, and you authorize Impresario to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe. Impresario shall have no liability for transactions or interactions with the third-party payment processor, including without limitation in any instance where a Contribution has been made by a Contributor and such Contributor fails to pay such Contribution in a timely manner if and when the collection comes due.
- Event Contributions are Made. Campaign Creator understands and agrees to accept all risks associated with Contributions that are made and that there is a risk that if and when such Contributions come due for collection, the Contributor may fail to make good on payment (even after funds have already been provided to Campaign Creator); any such failure shall in no event be Impresario’s responsibility, and Campaign Creator agrees not to and shall not seek any remedies or damages from TLCC with respect to such collections, and if applicable, shall return the disputed funds to Impresario pay or be charged for same as provided for hereinabove. Campaign Creator understands and agrees that recourse for any such failures may only be made by Campaign Creator directly against the Contributor that failed to make good on their Contribution.
SECTION 4. CAMPAIGN CREATOR OBLIGATIONS
As a Campaign Creator, when you create a Campaign on the Site and ask for Contributions, you understand that you are entering into separate legal agreements with both Impresario and with Contributors, and the following rules apply (in addition to all other Terms and Additional Policies).
- Good Faith. Make good faith efforts to fulfill the Rewards associated with a Campaign in the timeframe that is communicated to Contributors.
- Notice of Delay. Immediately notify Contributors if there are obstacles or delays.
- Be Responsive. Respond promptly and truthfully to all questions posed by Contributors and any questions or requests The Local Crowd Cooperative makes.
- Updates. Provide substantive and quality updates at least once a month to Contributors.
- If you have received the Contributions from your Campaign, issue refunds to Contributors if you cannot deliver Rewards. Contributors contribute to Campaign Creators, not to Impresario. Refunds must be handled by the Campaign Creator, and Impresario has no obligation to provide any refunds or become involved with any dispute between a Campaign Creator and Contributor.
- Comply with Laws. Comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the use of Contributions and delivery of Rewards.
- Be Truthful and Transparent. Campaign Creators should be ready, willing, and able to substantiate claims your Campaign makes, including but not limited to product features and capabilities, the stage of product development, and timelines for delivery. If you are unable to substantiate claims, Impresario may terminate your account, withhold funds, or other actions to enforce its rights under this Agreement and applicable law.
- Platform Fees. Campaign Creators are charged a Platform Fee as a portion of the Contributions they raise (the “Platform Fees“). The Platform Fees are effective on the date that the Platform Fees are posted and may be updated from time to time. Platform Fees will be charged at the then-current rate.
- Taxes. Taxing authorities may classify Contributions as taxable income to the Campaign Creator and any beneficiary who will receive funds directly from the applicable Campaign. Impresario may ask for the tax identification number (TIN) of Campaign Creators and any beneficiaries so that We may report taxable income to the relevant taxing authorities. Stripe Connect, as our payment processing affiliate, may provide Campaign Creators with tax documents if required by relevant taxing authorities. Impresario is unable to provide any User or third party with tax advice and suggests that such Users or third parties consult with tax advisors of their choice. The shipment of Rewards to Contributors may expose Campaign Creators and Contributors to sales and use tax obligations.
- Respond to Requests from Impresario for Information about Your Campaign. Impresario does not guarantee any Campaigns or undertake the duty to investigate or moderate any statements made by a Campaign Creator (see section 5 below). However, Impresario may, but is not required to and undertakes no obligation to, request information from Campaign Creators to investigate possible breaches of this Agreement. The information Impresario may request includes, but is not limited to, information to support Campaign statements, evidence that the Campaign Creator is taking actions to deliver promised products, productions and shipping timelines and information, source documentation to substantiate product claims and Campaign promises, product prototypes, and personal information to confirm the identity of Campaign Creators, vendors, and suppliers. You agree that Impresario may employ third parties to assess the documents and your Campaign. You agree to provide this information to Impresario upon request. Failure to provide any of the requested information within 14 days, or a longer time provided by TLCC in writing, shall be deemed a material breach of this Agreement.
- Impresario Reserves the Right to Recover Funds Dispersed to Campaign Creators, for a number of reasons including, but not limited to, refunds, chargeback disputes, fraud, Terms or other policy violations, or any other situation. For example, Impresario may request reimbursement of contributions made to a Campaign if the Campaign Creator violates any Terms (as determined by Impresario in its sole discretion). If you do not provide information within the requested time or are not able to substantiate claims made in your Campaign, Impresario may terminate your Campaign and account and avail itself of any remedies available to it under this Agreement or applicable law. Impresario may seek reimbursement from a Campaign Creator by any other lawful means, including by using third-party collection services.
Please remember that as a Campaign Creator, you are solely responsible for fulfilling the obligations of your Campaign and delivering Rewards. If you are unable to perform this or any of your other legal obligations, you may be subject to legal action by Contributors.
SECTION 5. CONTRIBUTING TO A CAMPAIGN
As a Contributor, when you make a Contribution to a Campaign, you understand that the following rules and Terms apply (in addition to all other Terms).
- Voluntary Contributions. All Contributions are made voluntarily and at the sole discretion and risk of the Contributor.
- TLCC Does Not Guarantee that Campaigns Will Succeed or that Rewards Will Be Delivered or Deemed Satisfactory. By contributing to a Campaign, Contributors are supporting an idea, project, or cause they care about and want to help make happen. Like anyone getting in on an early-stage project, Contributors accept the risk that the Campaign may experience changes, delays, and unforeseen challenges, or that a Campaign, and its Rewards, might not come to fruition. Impresario does not guarantee or represent that Contributions will be used as promised, that Campaign Creators will deliver Rewards, or that the Campaign will achieve its goals. Impresario undertakes no duty to investigate claims made by Campaign Creators. Impresario also does not endorse, guarantee, make representations, or provide warranties regarding the quality, safety, morality, or legality of any Campaign, Reward, or Contribution, or the truth or accuracy of any User Content posted on the Services. The date to deliver a Reward is an estimate by the Campaign Creator (not Impresario), and there is no guarantee that the Campaign Creator will fulfill and deliver the Reward by that date. No transfer of title to tangible personal property occurs through Impresario.
- Refunds. Contributors contribute to Campaign Creators, not to TLCC. Contributors may contact the Campaign Creator directly to request a refund. TLCC has no obligation to participate or become involved in any dispute between the Contributor and Campaign Creator concerning a refund.
- Credit Card Charges. When you Contribute to a Campaign, your card will be charged the amount of the Contribution after you confirm and submit your payment information. Your credit card statement will show a charge from Impresario.
- Communications Between Campaign Creators and Contributors. Once you have made a Contribution to a Campaign, the Campaign Creator may need to contact you to obtain additional information such as shipping address, specific preferences for a Reward (for example, color or size of a t-shirt), or may ask for feedback on the Campaign or the Reward. In some instances, to receive the Reward, you may need to provide requested information within a specific time frame to receive the Reward, not doing so may result in your forfeiting the Reward. Campaign Creators should not ask for information that is not required to fulfill a Reward, including personal information such as Social Security numbers or credit card/banking information. Please contact Impresario if you receive a request for information that appears to be excessive.
- Taxes are your responsibility. Contributors bear the sole responsibility for determining how to treat their Contributions and receipt of any Rewards for tax purposes. Impresario does not offer any advice or take any responsibility for how Contributors treat their Contributions or for any financial consequences arising out of such treatment.
SECTION 6. THE ROLE OF IMPRESARIO
- We do not endorse User Content. Impresario provides the platform for the creation of Campaigns and interaction of Users. We do not screen any Campaigns or endorse any User Content on Our site. Likewise, Impresario does not undertake any duty to investigate or guarantee the truthfulness of any claims made by Campaign Creators. You should evaluate a Campaign’s statements before choosing to back the Campaign.
- We may remove User Content or Cancel Campaigns in Our Discretion. Impresario may remove User Content that violates the Terms at its sole discretion. We may take a while to investigate and determine if such actions are warranted. It is at Impresario’s sole discretion whether to discuss the reasons for taking action against any User Content or account.
- We Do Not Guarantee Rewards. Campaign Creators bear sole responsibility for the delivery of Rewards and for the offering of any refunds.
- We Do Not Provide Tax or Legal Advice to Users. Users bear sole responsibility for determining how the applicable laws apply to running a Campaign, Contributing to a Campaign, or utilizing any of the Services.
- We Do Not Become Involved in Legal Disputes Between Users. Impresario bears no liability and has no obligation to investigate, participate, or become involved, in any dispute between Users, including between Contributors and Campaign Creators.
- You Are Responsible for Your Campaigns, Even If You Engage Our help. TLCC may offer additional services, including coaching, education, helping with drafting Campaign Content, assisting with the design of Campaigns, and referring vendors and other service providers to Campaign Creators. Even where We help with your Campaign, Campaign Creators bear sole responsibility for the Campaign and must comply with all obligations in the Terms as the only responsible party for the Campaign.

If any provision of these Terms is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
