You can share more information about the timeline, specifics, and/or a deeper dive on technical specifications (if any).

It happens many times that after the initial excitement around the launch of a campaign, the response slows down. You can always come up with new strategies to regenerate excitement by interesting social media updates and campaigning more actively for your submission.

It is possible that you may not be able to get enough supporters to reach your budget goals within the specified time. You are free to re-submit the idea with changes and a new budget deadline.

Made-In-Jis is a place to bring new creative ideas to life, and to find support for your submission/idea from within the JIS community.

Submissions/ideas are launched to create something new that should have a clear end goal. It could be in any domain, viz. Technology, Utility, Social service, Media & entertainment, Art and Culture, and so on.

As our mission is to help creators bring new creative ideas to life, we don’t permit offering something that’s already available somewhere else as a submission’s end goal. And of course nothing illegal can be permitted. We review submissions/ideas before they launch to ensure that they fit these criteria.

If you feel that your submission hasn’t been accepted even thought it met all the eligibility requirements then you can submit an appeal. A staff member will review your submission again. If your appeal is declined again then you may not be able to submit the same Idea. The submission submission in question then will be closed; however, you can always make a different submission.

A breakdown of all the members who pledged for your submission will be available in your dashboard. It will help you to gain a clearer understanding of the final number of supporters on your campaign page, the total pledges on the campaign, including the number of pledges.

A submission may be suspended if our team finds out that the submission violates our rules and Ethics standards, including:

• Misrepresentation of support, through self-pledging, and/ or failure to disclose relevant facts about the submission.
• Provide inaccurate or incomplete information about the submission to the supporters.
• A party related to the creator is posing as an independent, supportive party in submission comments or elsewhere.
• Plagiarism. Claiming someone else’s work.
• Offering purchased or already existing items, Falsely posing as creator.
• Failure to comply with our ethics standards in the past with their submissions which will make our team and supporters lack trust in them.

When a submission has been suspended the funding for the submission stops and all pledges are cancelled. Both the submission’s creator and supporters are notified and the submission will be cleared from the website instantly.

No. Once a submission has been suspended it cannot be appealed.

If for any reason your submission does not meet our rules, feel free to refine and improve it. Check other submissions and get ideas on how to rethink your submission.

Your submission’s dashboard will furnish all the details. From there, you can monitor any activity and interest generated on your submission. You can edit submission category, description, videos and images and the FAQ’s but you will not be able to edit funding goals and submission deadline.

Ideas that don’t get backed in the set deadline will be removed, which means that the unsuccessfully funded submissions shouldn't show up in those search results or the Browse Ideas gallery.

The review process on Made-In-Jis is democratic and transparent. Audiences have complete freedom over which Idea they find interesting and choose to support. Made-In-Jis has no say in these.

Applicants can mail, or message themselves or a trusted person of their choice which can later be evidence to prove the time of the idea generation. In case of any copy or infringement dispute later, this time evidence of when the two similar ideas were generated will assist in solving the matter and reaching the necessary conclusion.

The creator should, however, keep in mind that in the event of reapplying, they should mention valid reasons for funds falling short and have solid additions in the project which would require more funding.

Made-In-Jis is a community where we expect all members to behave responsibly and help keep this a decent platform for innovations and the sharing of ideas. Things to avoid doing on this site:

No user should:

• Infringe any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of publicity, or another right of any other person or entity, or violates any law or contract;
• Share data which is false, misleading, or inaccurate;
• Indulge in anything unlawful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, deceptive, fraudulent, tortuous, obscene, offensive, profane, or invasive of another's privacy;
• Endorse any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or promotional material or any junk mail, spam, or chain letters;

Made-In-Jis provides a funding platform for creative submissions. When a creator posts a submission on our site, they’re inviting other people to form a contract with them. Anyone who backs a submission is accepting the creator’s offer and forming that contract.

Made-In-Jis is not a part of this contract as it is a direct legal agreement between creators and their supporters.

The site does not oversee the performance or punctuality of submissions; neither does it guarantee the completion of submissions. The responsibility of submission completion solely lies with the Idea owner. Funders also agree to not hold the Site or the Company responsible for any of their dissatisfaction related to the submission they funded and must deal with the campaigner directly. Funders, by contributing to a campaign on the Site, are assumed to have understood that submissions run the risk of getting delayed or not completing. In the case of the creator is unable to satisfy the terms of this agreement, they may be subject to legal action by supporters.

If a creator is unable to complete their submission on time or not at all then they should update the supporters that explain what work has been done, how funds were used, and what prevents them from finishing the submission as planned. They should offer and come up with a plan to return any remaining funds to supporters.

It is an all or nothing model for any Idea submission. When funding a submission, you will only be asked to transfer funds when your submission reaches the final budget need of the submission. In the case of the submission hasn’t reached its goal, you won’t have to pay anything. After the submission reaches its budget goals you will be given a certain time to make the fund transfer.

We strongly recommend supporting projects you are really sure about. You can change your mind until the last day of the submission or until it reaches its budget goals. If the submission has reached it goal of funding, you will not be able to change your pledge.

Candidates submitting ideas shall be liable to legal prosecution by supporters and/or company/owner if they are found to be using funds for any purpose other than that specified at the time of raising the funds, or other inappropriate purposes. The Site can discontinue/suspend the campaign if it gets any notification of misuse of funds or use of funds for another purpose other than the stated creative submission at any time of the campaign, without any notice or discussion to the campaign owner at the Company's sole discretion.

Made-In-Jis doesn’t charge any fees from its users. Whether they are submitting ideas or supporting them. Our mission is to bring all the JIS members together to encourage and support one another.

Made-In-Jis may contain links to other websites for information or reference, in such a case when you access third-party websites; you do so at your own risk. We endorse those sites. We may however need to partner with some companies for processing of payments. When you back or create a submission, you’re also agreeing to the payment processor’s terms of service.
