Starters Club is a promotion offered by Emoot to promote its new gifting app which has yet come to life. Anyone who joins Starter Club (referred to as a “member”) is in fact backing this project and accepting Emoot’s offer of free forever, unlimited Emoots with the following conditions: • Requires a $50 one-time contribution to Emoot • Is limited to 2000 members • Entitles the member to use the Emoot app to send any number of individual (note bulk is excluded) Emoots without the need to pay Emoot’s delivery fee or any payment processing fees; the member will still need to provide the actual amount of the funds to be gifted • Is it at Emoot’s sole discretion where this offer includes any future features for which we will charge a fee During the Starters Club campaign, Emoot understands it owes our supporters a high standard of effort and clear, timely communication as well as dedication to bringing our app to life. Starter Club members agree and acknowledge: • you’re not buying something that already exists when you join, you’re helping to create something new. In this way you are “pre-buying” our app services. • you may need to provide more information to use the Emoot app such as creating an account or profile • there are no refunds issued • the estimated app go-live timing is Emoot’s estimate and not a guarantee Emoot app will be ready by that time. The schedule may change as the creator works on the project and there’s no guarantee that Emoot will be able to finish our project. If Emoot is unable to complete our project and fulfill the Starters Club, we will make a reasonable effort to find another way of bringing our project to the best possible conclusion for our Starters Club members. Emoot will have remedied the situation and met our obligations if Emoot: • has posted an update that explains what work has been done, how funds were used and what prevents them from finishing the project as panned • has worked diligently and in good faith to bring the project to the best possible conclusion under the circumstances, in a timeframe that’s communicated to members • is able to demonstrate that they’ve used funds appropriately and made every reasonable effort to complete the project as promised; • has made no material misrepresentations in their communication to backers • explains how those funds will be used to complete the project in some alternate form.
