BackerKit FAQ
How does BackerKit crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding is a collaborative way to bring ideas and projects to life. Project creators post their idea for a project, and backers pledge money to make the project possible. Backers get behind the scenes access and backer-only rewards, which can include exclusive products, special pricing, creative input, content, and more.
To become a backer, select a pledge level that features the reward(s) you would like to receive when the project is successfully completed and make your contribution.
All-or-nothing crowdfunding model: The creator sets a funding goal and a deadline to raise funds. If the project does not meet the goal by the deadline, backers credit cards are not charged and no money changes hands.
Crowdfunding projects can happen at various stages of the creative process. Make sure to check the estimated timeline of when rewards will be delivered. Project creators will keep you updated on the progress toward completion and delivery of your rewards.
Backing a crowdfunding campaign is not the same as purchasing an item from a store. When you back a campaign you are supporting the creation of something new. Rewards are almost always delivered, but are not guaranteed.
When will I be charged for my pledge?
Your payment method will not be charged right away. You will be charged for the amount of your pledge when the campaign ends and the project reaches its funding goal. You will not be charged if the campaign does not reach its funding goal.
What happens after the campaign is over?
The Creator will send out a survey that will ask you for more information about your pledge, your shipping information, additional items you may want to add to your pledge, and collect shipping fees if applicable.
The survey will be sent to the email address we have on file with your pledge.
Any additional payment will be charged when you complete your survey and confirm your order.

What is a Nudibranch?
A nudibranch is a type of soft-bodied, marine gastropod mollusk belonging to the subclass Nudibranchia. These creatures are often referred to as sea slugs, although not all sea slugs are nudibranchs. They are known for their extraordinary colors, intricate patterns, and diverse shapes, making them a favorite subject for underwater photographers and marine enthusiasts. Key Characteristics: 1. No Shell: Unlike many mollusks, nudibranchs lack a protective shell as adults. 2. Bright Colors and Patterns: Their vivid colors often serve as a warning to predators about their toxicity or unpalatability, a phenomenon known as aposematism. 3. Gills and Rhinophores: Nudibranchs have external gills for breathing and sensory organs called rhinophores to detect smells and chemicals in the water. 4. Size: They range in size from a few millimeters to over a foot (30 cm) in length, depending on the species. Habitat: Nudibranchs are found in oceans worldwide, from shallow coral reefs to deep-sea environments. They are particularly abundant in warm, tropical waters but can also be found in colder regions. Diet: Most nudibranchs are carnivorous, feeding on sponges, hydroids, anemones, or other small marine organisms. Some species can incorporate toxins or stinging cells from their prey into their own bodies for defense. Reproduction: Nudibranchs are hermaphroditic, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs. They typically lay spiral-shaped ribbons of eggs on surfaces like rocks or coral. Fun Fact: Some nudibranchs, such as those from the genus Glaucus, can float on the surface of the water and prey on venomous creatures like the Portuguese man o' war, incorporating their stinging cells for self-defense. Nudibranchs are not only fascinating for their beauty but also contribute to scientific studies on ecology, evolution, and marine biodiversity.
