Terms for Genius Vision crowdfunding of commercial NVR bulk license

In an attempt to mitigate the severe unknown group social-attack problem, we are trying the Fundrazr, which is supposed to be a trustworthy crowdfunding platform since it has partnered with PayPal. Our official campaign in the platform can be found at the following link:

https://fundrazr.com/geniusvisionnvr

If you have questions that are specific to the crowdfunding campaign, please use the "Contact campaign" function in the campaign page above. Note that, unfortunately, because of the intensive social attack mentioned above, most of our personnel-level contact functions are paralyzed. If you want to contact properly with our personnel, be sure to follow the protocol described at "How to get in touch with Genius Vision personnel contact?".

Following are a set of terms you should agree to if you want to participate in the campaign:

Crowdfunding terms

1. If the deadline is passed without reaching the funding goal, no license will be granted. Instead, the campaign will be suspended and the amount accumulated will remain for the next time of the campaign, if there is any. Note, there is no guarantee there will be a next time, nor can we estimate the schedule for a potential next time. We reserve the right to change the contents if there will be any restart of a new campaign in the future.

2. If you want to receive a commercial license after the funding goal is reached, please use the product option. Contribution without product selection will be deemed as a donation to Genius Vision, which we will appreciate very much.

3. There will be no refund of any kind. One major reason we have altered our PayPal policy is that many attackers exploit the "PayPal refund" function to try to compromise our business revenue. That's why we need to choose a crowdfunding platform to give us more protection.

4. If you are trying to buy a commercial license in this way, you need to be a veteran installer of Genius Vision NVR Commercial Edition. In the past, there were numerous inquiries made about license installation procedures, that turned out to be hacking (e.g. social attack). Therefore we will not respond to any questions regarding license installation.

5. Please read and agree to all "Standard license terms" in the following section.

6. Legally speaking, the commercial license obtained as the rewards of this campaign shall not be construed as a "purchase" of the license. Instead, it is a crowdfunding reward for contributing to Genius Vision. Please be aware that there are slight differences in meaning here.

7. Each contributor who selects to receive licenses as rewards will be provided exactly one license code (called "purchase code" in our terminology) when the funding goal is reached before the deadline. At the time of individual installation, the user will be able to select the actual quantity of license to be installed. The license code serves as the only license validation method. Therefore it is the contributor's responsibility to keep the code secret.

Standard license terms

2. For software license, Genius Vision employees "online license authorization" mechanism. You will receive electronic license code without physical goods.
