Honesty Box Policy
We only exist for you, because of you...
We operate an 'honesty-box' policy and provide opportunities for our Members and Users to donate and support each other (and us) for their open, creative activities. We do this in the hope that our Members might benefit financially for their efforts. However, because we sincerely believe that everyone, everywhere should have equal and easy access to knowledge and we want to support and build an open, sharing culture; we don't force you to 'give' anything.
Our Members provide this service to you for free. However, if you agree with our principles and feel that a particular Upcycled Product is of interest or has been of use to you and worthy of a financial donation (however small), you should really consider making a donation by selecting the 'Donate Now' button. You will find this button on the page of every Co-oproduct listed.
To help you, we ensure that every member provides a 'Suggested Donation Amount'. Should you wish to edit the suggested donation, simply do so by entering your own amount which will be available to you after you select the 'Donate Now' button.
The 'Donate Now' button that we provide is securely linked to our Paypal account, through which money can be transferred in the normal 'Paypal' way. For your info, Co-oproduct CIC collect 30% of any such transaction*, the other 70% goes directly to the Member responsible for the submission.
*To avoid compromising our ethical values, other than grants, consultancy or direct donations, our 30% commission on transactions is our primary form of income. We use this income to support the furtherance of Our organisation, including the development of this Website and the community it represents. If you would like to read more about Co-oproduct income generation, please see our Support Us page. You can also read about all our policies and guidelines here.
