Terms & Conditions
What using Ratafire means
By reading ratafire.com you accept that its articles on crowdfunding, creators and digital art are offered on the basis set out here. Continuing to browse, share or quote the pages means you are working within these terms. Questions can go to [email protected].
Information, not financial or legal advice
Articles are general information and opinion. They are not financial, tax, investment or legal advice, and they do not promise that any campaign will reach its goal. Platform fees, payout rules, licence terms and consumer protections differ by country and change often. Before launching a campaign, backing a project, signing a licence or selling artwork, check the current terms of the platform involved and speak to a qualified adviser where the stakes are high. Backing a project carries risk, including that it may be delayed or never delivered.
Ownership of what you read here
The writing, structure and original graphics on Ratafire belong to the operator or are used with permission. You may quote a short passage with a clear mention of the site and share links to articles. Copying full pieces, republishing them or using them in paid material requires written permission. Artwork discussed in articles stays with its creators.
Acceptable use
Sites about funding and creative work attract scraping, fake campaign promotion and impersonation. Do not flood the site with automated requests, post or send misleading pledge appeals, pose as a creator or platform, or try to reach the admin area. Anyone caught doing so may find their access to Ratafire cut off.
Messages you send
When you send a correction, idea or question, you confirm that you have the right to share it. We may read it and draw on the idea when improving articles, but we are not obliged to answer or print it. Do not send work you want kept confidential, such as unreleased art.
Ads, sponsorship and outside links
Ratafire may in future carry advertising, sponsored items or affiliate links, which could earn the operator a commission. Any such content would be marked and would not change what an article concludes. Articles may point readers to funding platforms, art software, creator pages and policy documents. Those sites sit outside our control, and we cannot vouch for their content, prices, availability or how they treat your data.
Warranties and liability
Ratafire is offered in whatever state it is in on the day you visit. As far as the law permits, the operator does not promise that articles are complete, current or uninterrupted, and is not liable for losses from relying on them, including funding or pledge decisions. Nothing here removes rights you hold under mandatory law or limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
Changes and severability
These terms and the site may be altered whenever the operator sees fit, and a revised version takes effect as soon as it appears on this page. If a part of these terms is found unenforceable, the remainder stays in effect.
