Clear terms before you commit
Built for trust on both sides
The funding threshold, deadline, refund timing, reader privacy and performance expectations are stated upfront.
Full-funding requirement
Drop 01 enters purchasing and production only after all four Featured Sponsor placements and all nine Founding Sponsor placements are paid.
Deadline and refund options
The funding deadline is August 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. If the full $3,000 goal is not reached, paid sponsors may choose a full refund to the original payment method or transfer the full amount to a future Freebound campaign.
When a placement becomes final
Once the drop is fully funded and Freebound begins purchasing, printing or preparing campaign materials, sponsorship becomes nonrefundable unless Freebound cancels the campaign.
Clear reporting, protected readers
Sponsors receive available aggregate shipment and engagement information. Reader contact and shipping information is not shared without separate legally valid consent. Sponsorship does not guarantee purchases, leads, clicks or conversions.
