> Kickstarter does not offer refunds. A Project Creator is not required to grant a Backer’s request for a refund unless the Project Creator is unable or unwilling to fulfill the reward.

> Project Creators are required to fulfill all rewards of their successful fundraising campaigns or refund any Backer whose reward they do not or cannot fulfill.

> Project Creators may cancel or refund a Backer’s pledge at any time and for any reason, and if they do so, are not required to fulfill the reward.

That "at any time" para is possibly going to cause problems to the backers.

So if you are successful, you are required to fulfill your terms. Or you can back out by refunding money.

But if you fail, you have no such obligation.

Yeah but that's not if you succeed at MAKING the product, it's if you succeed at FUNDING.
Oh, I see...
