1) Are you allowed to also fund your campaign on indiegogo as well at the same time?
Or does this go against any rules?
If your crowdfund is unsuccessful, can you do it on indiegogo then if the former is not allowed?
If it is allowed, why don't more people do it?
A lot of people seem to stick just to Kickstarter alone and not any other crowd funding souces. Why?
2) Let's say you're making a kickstarter project for a game.
I know there are a lot of games out there on kickstarter that get successfully funded but they don't appear as if they need the money because they have a ton of content.
It's my assumption a lot of those kinds of projects don't use the money on the game itself, but they use it on other things such as rent, car payments, etc. Is this legally allowed? To do whatever you wish with the money?
I mean I suppose it makes sense for rent for example, if someone is really down on their luck and they want to get their project up in the air, they need to at least still make a basic living with living costs done for them.
3) I've noticed some Kickstarter projects have their company name instead of their real name.
How do they do this? Do they just replace their name with their company name?
4) What if you have a game for example, but the game is part of an unofficial company such as: "Hello Games!", are you allowed to put "Hello Games!" as your name? And by unofficial, I mean they simply just made a website called "hellogames.com" for example, and put their game on it or announced their game on it, and they have their own logo but no legal forms of any kind. Is this okay for Kickstarter?
5) When you put your city, lets say your city is not very popular or known, but you want to put a different city that's more popular or at least one that's close to you in your state/province. Is this allowed? Or will Kickstarter automatically know what city you're in and place it there on the project?
If that's not the case and you are able to put any city you want, are you technically allowed to lie about which city you want to put down? Will putting a city you're not in affect payment issues such as when you put your payment address and things like that?
Thanks.
