# How does it work?

Our Price Protection Promise is based on our KPI Protected Funding. When we launch a project we will mutually and publicly agree on a set of KPIs with the project.

If the project fails to hit the agreed KPIs, then a refund will be issued to you, the investor.

So, what would be some examples of KPIs that we could expect Uplift to arrange with a new project?

* That another launchpad will not release the project’s IDO tokens earlier to its own community (ahead of the agreed TGE time).
* The price should not drop lower than IDO token price during the first 24 hours after the TGE date.
* That the project will maintain its value at 200% of the initial IDO token price for four months after IDO sales end.
* That the token price will be 600% of the initial IDO token price within the following nine-month period.

Please note:

* It's vital to remember that not all projects have an IDO PPP. However, the projects that are IDO protected will be labelled for investors to see.
* The refund deadline is specific to each IDO, and will usually be a couple of days after the KPIs deadline.
* The refund may be as much as 100% of your invested money back, or it may be less.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.uplift.io/ido/price-protection-promise/how-does-it-work.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
