Sure, thanks for asking.
As a serious long term sustainability oriented project, we do a KYC (know your customer) and AML (anti money laundering) process prior to our Pre-ICO and ICO to comply with existing regulations.
Once you are verified and have accepted the terms and conditions of the ICO, you (or better said the sending wallet address you specify when providing the account information) will be added to the whitelist of our C4F smart contract. Only whitelisted addresses can send ether contributions, other sending wallets will bounce.
The process starts with submitting your email on our page, which indicates you are interested in contributing to our project. This is what we reward here, as it helps us to improve our marketing campaigns (where do people come from, how do they find us, etc)
You will receive a confirmation email where you click a link to verify your email is correct (otherwise you would not receive the confirmation link).
Once we see your email is confirmed, you will receive another email shortly before the Pre-ICO where you can open an account with us.
Here you provide your name, country of residence (for example we cannot accept contributions from countries under embargo, such as North Korea etc), confirm that you have read and accept the terms and conditions, provide the wallet address that you plan to send your contributions from and indicate the amount you plan to contribute (roughly).
Depending on the amount you either get added to the whitelist immediately, or if you plan to contribute > 10.000 USD, we will contact you for an additional verification step as per anti money laundering regulations (see here for details).
Hope that helps ?
