Official Statement of Clarification
To our community, partners, and outdoor enthusiasts:
At Awada, we take pride not only in the quality of our gear but also in the integrity of our partnerships. We believe that trust and transparency are the cornerstones of any adventure—on the trail or in business.
In August 2024, we entered into a collaboration with Shenzhen Eyou Information Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “Shenzhen Eyou”) for the purpose of launching an overseas crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter (Project ID: [105219446]). Under this agreement, Shenzhen Eyou was authorized to represent our brand and manage the operations, marketing, and payment collection related to the project.
However, beginning in October 2024, we noticed serious issues. Despite collecting backer payments, Shenzhen Eyou failed to communicate procurement timelines or transfer funds as required by contract to initiate production. Since February 2025, all attempts to reach the company—through formal notices and legal channels—have gone unanswered.
We regret to inform you that the project is now suspended due to suspected fraudulent behavior by Shenzhen Eyou. We have officially revoked their brand authorization and reported the issue to the platform. Legal actions are being considered to safeguard the rights of all affected backers and to uphold the reputation of our brand.
To those impacted—we see you, and we share your frustration. While this incident falls outside of our direct control, we remain committed to doing right by our community. This statement is part of that commitment.
In order to better understand the situation and explore possible solutions, we are currently collecting contact information from affected backers. If you were impacted by this project, we encourage you to fill out the following form so that we can stay in touch and provide timely updates, including any future remedies or compensation plans we may pursue:

Sincerely,
Guangdong Awada
