Legal Entities & Relationships
Mighty Boards'Says it is part of
- the site says it is part of it — “Kickstarter has been part of Mighty Boards' story for years.” — updates.kickstarter.com
Relationship evidence
Identity revision 1, last changed
- a declared affiliated site is a relationship the publisher states, not common ownership
- a declared provider account (gift cards, hiring, ordering) is a service relationship, not an affiliation
- a register party at the business's premises is a candidate operator until the Place and legal resolvers bind it
- a licensed operator of the business's premises operates those locations; it is not thereby the brand's owner
- an employer a job board names on the openings posts them; it is not thereby the owner or the operator
- an app's store seller or developer publishes the app; neither is thereby the restaurant's owner
- a menu that names a producer names it; it is not a supply contract, a volume or an exclusivity
- a mail or DMARC service domain in DNS is a technical service relationship, not an affiliation
- a group the site says it is part of is a public affiliation; the equity chain and buying rights are separate questions
- an organization that posts the openings, sells the app or holds a program account shares services with the business; that is not affiliation or ownership
- a supplier or charitable partner the site's own page names and links is the publisher's statement; it is not a contract, a volume, an exclusivity or a gift amount

Important NotePost-Campaign Pledge Manager
- As printed After any Kickstarter campaign, it is necessary to confirm final pledge contents and delivery addresses with all our backers - plus take payment for shipping. As is standard in crowdfunding, we do all this through a Pledge Manager - which is an online survey we send out after the campaign that collects the essential information needed for us to make and send your pledge rewards. We want everyone to receive their games as planned, which means us meeting production and logistics deadlines. For this reason a pledge not accompanied in time by the pledge manager information needed to fulfil that reward is instead considered as a donation to the project. This is necessary to not hold up the project for everybody else, but please don't worry - we will keep you informed throughout the process with regular campaign updates and lots of friendly reminders! TOP TIP: Make sure the email address used for your Kickstarter login is for your current email/inbox - as this is where campaign update links will be sent to by the Kickstarter platform.Published by the company · confirmed Oct 23, 2026, 9:39 AM UTC
