Questions

What does Notify me do?

It follows our Kickstarter page, and they email you at launch for free.

What does all-or-nothing mean?

Then nobody pays, since Kickstarter only charges if we hit the goal.

When will I be charged?

Once the campaign ends, only if we hit the goal, with shipping after.

How much is shipping?

You pay 60% of the estimate after the campaign, and we cover the rest.

Where do the fees go?

Kickstarter takes 5% plus about 3% for payments, already in the budget.

Can I change or cancel my pledge?

Yep, you can switch tiers or cancel on Kickstarter any time before the campaign ends.

Can I get a refund?

Message us and we'll sort it, and full terms go up before launch.

What's the puzzle add-on?

A $29 NOCATCH puzzle you can add to any reward, and you pay its shipping.

Do I get a NOCATCH light?

Only with the Founding Unit, which includes one from the first production run.
