Crowd Supply's "Proclamation of User Rights": https://www.crowdsupply.com/about#user-rights
They explain more about how it came about here: https://blog.crowdsupply.com/2017/01/24/a-new-years-proclamation/
I haven't had a chance to think on it too deeply, but it seems like an interesting approach to attempt to create guidelines and set expectations for their community in an easily digestible form. It might have wider applicability too.

Interesting. No attempt to be binding, but as part of their vetting process, maybe even more important in practice than a contract. I hadn't really looked at Crowd Supply beyond noticing that a number of libre hardware projects have used it. I guess for good reason, pretty impressive, with obvious caveats. Had to glance at https://wiki.snowdrift.coop/market-research/other-crowdfunding
Crowd Supply focuses on rivalrous goods (i.e. hardware) so donāt really fit as a platform for most FLO projects but may be a good choice for FLO hardware startups. Along with threshold campaigns, they also offer a market for selling already-funded hardware.The platform isnāt entirely FLO itself (at the time of this writing) but works without proprietary JavaScript and emphasizes encrypted contact options to protect privacy. Although they have no FLO requirement, a greater portion of projects seem to emphasize FLO values compared with generic threshold sites.
