Kickstarter

A project may be suspended if our Integrity team uncovers evidence that it is in violation of one or more of Kickstarter's rules, including:

— Misrepresentation of support, through self-pledging

— Misrepresentation or failure to disclose relevant facts about the project or its creator

— The creator provides inaccurate or incomplete user information to Kickstarter or one of our partners

— The characteristics of the creator account overlap with the characteristics of backer accounts that pledged to their project

— A party related to the creator is posing as an independent, supportive party in project comments or elsewhere

— The creator is presenting someone else’s work as their own

— The creator is offering purchased items, claiming to have made them

Projects may also be suspended if they chose to 'Launch Now' but, on closer inspection, do not fall within our rules.

For more information, please visit our rules and Terms of Use.

Funding for the project stops and all pledges are canceled. Both the project’s creator and backers are notified via email.

Our Integrity team reviews projects that are flagged by algorithmic scans or reported by members of the Kickstarter community. They look for material violations of Kickstarter’s rules, and take the appropriate administrative action according to our Terms of Use.

No. Once a project has been suspended it cannot be undone.
