Kickstarter avoids responsibility for fraudulent projects on their platform, even though they are the ones who will collect your money. Their Terms of Use claim they are not a party to the contract between backer and creator, even though they are the ones who write the contract, collect your money, and make you agree to it when backing a project. I don't know how this is legal, and certainly wouldn't be legal under EU consumer law. They should not be allowed to trade into the EU.
