When you support InfiniQuest through Open Collective:

• Donations are processed by Open Collective and Stripe
• You'll receive a receipt for tax purposes where applicable

4.2 Supporter Benefits

Important: Supporter tier benefits (early access, avatar creator, etc.) are provided on a best-effort basis. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver these benefits, but software development is inherently unpredictable. We cannot guarantee specific timelines or features.

If we cannot deliver a promised benefit:

• We'll communicate changes transparently through Open Collective updates
• We may offer alternative benefits when possible
• Refunds may be considered on a case-by-case basis

4.3 Refund Policy

5.2 Your Data, Your Responsibility
