So my query is if an ico ceases during token sale, and if you invested using the kickico platform, do you get your investment returned?
Thats absolutely correct, in case there are scenarios like the one you mentioned, all the backers will receive a refund and this is one of the specialty of KICK where backers are protected from scams in a way as you can always rely on KICKICO to make sure all the campaigns are legit and serious about their funding plans.
I dont think companies will use KICKICOs platform to launch their own ICO. A multi-million ICO hosted on a Kickstarter-styled website just doesnt look professional.
I think youre on the wrong track here. Firstly you can check the
https://www.kickico.com/campaigns/finished section to count how many successful ICOs have launched with KICK. Secondly you are not really thinking about it from the backers perspective, if you are backer for an ICO what are the key things you would really want
1. Security - Someone to vet the ICO on your behalf
2. Safety - You would not want to be at a risk of being scammed
3. Discounts - Getting a bang for your buck where you are getting a certain amount of tokens from the source ICO but if you register with KICK you get bonus amount of tokens for the same money.
These are the reasons that most backers prefer and will prefer in the future to go through KICK whether its a Million dollar ICO or not and the same relationship would work in reverse where a Large ICO would want to associate themselves with KICK.
