Hi, Just to add my info, like has been said here, the original should be kept, or you just might find a hole lot of people asking for refunds, and yes, I do remember that you have stated, refunds will only be given as tokens of a future production you bring out, but you will still be the looser in the long run.
So please keep to the original as much as possible.
