Saying that they "bought" those rewards is a semantic sleight-of-hand.It does not validate your argument. Whether or not something is a "sale" is a separate issue from whether or not a particular entity is a "retailer."Except that we've already established that it doesn't. If it did, that would mean that you couldn't ever have any platforms or entities that could engage in more than one kind of transaction.You're the one confusing different levels of employment. Making a pledge for something, even if you expect something in return for it, does not make the person or entity that you've pledged it to your employee. Contract law does not hold that point of view.Even if this were the case (it's not; fulfilling a contractual obligation does not mean that the other party is your employer), it wouldn't apply to Kickstarter anyway.Which is a matter of contractual agreements, not employment and certainly not retail activity.I'd like to think that what's obviously autocorrect-borne errors are still good, clean fun that can be enjoyed by all.

A contract for something, even if in exchange for money, is not, unto itself, a retail transaction.You're asserting that, but there's no "legal definition" that corroborates that assertion.See above; a contract wherein money changes hands does not necessarily a (retail) sale make.They're not, and it isn't. You haven't "bought" anything, you've pledged money and they've rewarded you for it, but the stores won't care either way, because at that point they can't sell the FRCS and there's no way for them to get that money from you anyway.</blockquote>
