New to Kickstarter? FAQs
What is Kickstarter?
Kickstarter is a platform where new products are launched directly to the public. Instead of buying a finished product from a shop, you support a project early and receive the product once it is made.
Am I buying Tagore now?
No. The $10 payment is not a purchase.
It is a refundable reservation that gives you priority access to the Tagore Kickstarter.
What does it mean to back a project on Kickstarter?
Backing a project means supporting its creation during the campaign. In return, backers receive the finished product once manufacturing is complete.
When do I pay for the actual device?
Only if you choose to back Tagore when the Kickstarter launches.
There is no obligation to proceed.
What do I get by reserving early?
Early reservation gives you:
- Priority access to the Kickstarter
- The lowest available launch pricing
- Early updates and behind-the-scenes access
Is the $10 reservation refundable?
Yes. The reservation is fully refundable if you change your mind.
Why is Tagore launching on Kickstarter?
Kickstarter allows us to:
- Produce accurately and responsibly
- Offer lower prices to early supporters
- Build Tagore with direct input from real writers
What happens after the Kickstarter ends?
If the campaign is successful, production begins. Backers receive regular updates, and devices are shipped once manufacturing is complete.
Will Tagore be available later at retail?
Possibly—but retail pricing is typically higher, and availability comes later. Early supporters receive the best value and earliest access.
Do I need to reserve to get Tagore?
No.
But reserving ensures priority access, early pricing, and avoids missing out when the campaign launches.
When will I get my order?
We will work quickly to ship your order as soon as possible. Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with further information. Delivery times vary depending on your location.
