PCWorld recommends DonationCoder.com and says: "Give a Little, Get a Lot"

<< < (3/3)

Stoic Joker:
Well, there is a case where the refund would not be possible.. If the donation was specifically sent by the donator to an author, and the author cashed out the donation after 30 days, and the author didn't have enough donations in their credits to handle a refund, we wouldn't be able to refund it.  This has never happened but it is possible.  I suppose I should add some asterisk to the refund statement about this.

Maybe if it's within 30 days of the donation - any donation.  So if I donate X today, then Y some days later, 30 days after X donation, I couldn't get it back, though I could still get back Y within it's 30 day window.  I think that's more than fair.-wraith808 (September 11, 2011, 09:17 PM)

I think the key point here is, its never happened. Once you start down the slippery fine print slope...It tends to end in lawyers (which is never safe for anyone).

mouser:
Yeah, i hate to throw cold water on those of you who love fine print, but here's the reality as i see it:


* If you are not making a lot of money (or look like you might soon), no one is going to sue you or hassle you so the fine print stuff just never becomes an issue.
* If you are making a lot of money (or look like you might soon), no amount of fine print or correct legal positioning can save you from the hired gun lawyers who can bleed you dry or extort money from you, whether you are legally in the right or wrong.
Bottom line is: Legal fine print doesn't seem to have much practical value.
