Hi all, just to clarify. We approached Indiegogo about the possibility of insurance, as Indiegogo had offered it in the past to a select few qualified campaigns. As you know, there were some people doubting the campaign's credibility and ability to fulfill. While we welcome scrutiny and criticism when it is due, there was also a large amount of speculation and assumptions being made. We wanted to help alleviate concerns of our backers and potential future backers.
To be considered for Indiegogo's program, we had to disclose our fulfillment and manufacturing process, which is something that we cannot dopublicly. After much dialogue and review, Indiegogo granted the campaign this option.
Indiegogo's Trust and Safety team has no reason to doubt our sincere efforts to complete the project.
This is only the third campaign on which Indiegogo has done so. This is meant to show everyone that we are fully committed to you, the backers and to put an end to the naysayers out there, which has quieted greatly since Demo Day.
Please note, this is an option, not mandatory and is a sign of our fulfillment process being reviewed by Indiegogo. We are happy about this option as Indiegogo regularly develops and tests new features and we are continuing to work to fulfill our obligations to you, the backers.
Again, Indiegogo's Trust and Safety team has no reason to doubt our sincere efforts to complete the project.
Finally, this perk insurance is an option available to all backers, current and future. There are a limited number of policies available to any backer on a first come, first serve basis as part of this pilot test. Indiegogo will then evaluate demand for insurance as this test progresses.
