Auction terms.

Five spots. One canopy.

Bid for an underside placement on the skydiving canopy this campaign funds. The canopy model, size and colours are chosen by the owner when the canopy is ordered; the 3D preview on the landing page is an illustration of the idea, not a specification of the canopy that will be bought. Four side placements start at $1,500 USD each; the center starts at $4,500 USD. Subsequent bids must exceed the current leader by at least $10 USD. Equal bids are ranked by successful deposit time, then bid identifier.

Deposits and approval

A 20% deposit is charged through Stripe. Previous unrefunded deposits on the same spot are credited when you increase your bid. Trying a logo on the landing page is private; submitting a bid uploads the artwork for review. As soon as Stripe confirms your deposit, your brand name and bid amount appear on the site and count toward the funding total; your artwork appears on the canopy once it has been checked. Rejected artwork is refunded and the bid stops counting. Artwork must be yours to use and suitable for printing.

Closing and funding

The auction closes Saturday, 10 October 2026 at 23:59:00 CEST. The deadline is fixed; late bids do not extend it. Payment must succeed before closing. Final settlement waits for paid artwork reviews and payment reconciliation.

The funding goal is $10,500 USD in total winning bids, before payment processing fees. Losing deposits are refunded after closing. If the winning bids total less than the goal, the auction is cancelled and all payments are refunded in full.

If you win

Your deposit counts toward your total bid. The remaining balance is payable through Stripe within seven days of settlement. You will receive an email with a link to open your bid and pay the balance. If the winning balances are not completed by that deadline, the campaign is cancelled and all payments are refunded. There is no automatic charge to your saved card.

The sponsorship

The intention is to print your artwork into the bottom fabric of the canopy and to keep it there for as long as that canopy stays in service. The owner currently estimates around 50 jumps per season, at drop zones in more than one country. This is an estimate based on current plans, not a guaranteed number of jumps, a guaranteed list of locations or a guaranteed schedule: how often and where the canopy flies depends on weather, travel, equipment, health and the drop zones themselves, and can change. There is no fixed first-jump date yet; it is estimated to be in spring 2027. If the campaign is cancelled before production, payments are refunded.

Refunds go to the original payment method; processing time depends on Stripe and the bank. Questions and sponsorship contact: [email protected].
