Honest Language
We do not present plans as results or stretch facts for a stronger effect.
ETHICS
Openness begins with how we work
For us, ethics is not a decorative page or a set of polished phrases. It is a practical commitment to speak honestly, explain important realities clearly, respect people, and keep our support model understandable.
OUR APPROACH
Ethics should be visible in practice, not only in language
This page explains the principles behind how we communicate, structure support, build projects, and approach public transparency. We do not want to replace clear standards with vague values language, so we focus only on what we can explain directly and honestly.
PRINCIPLES
What matters most to us
Clear Structure
We explain our model, our channels, and important realities without hiding them.
Respectful Support
We do not push people through fear, pressure, or someone else’s pain.
Real People
We are open about who builds the project and why that matters to us.
COMMUNICATION
What honest communication means to us
We separate confirmed facts, current work, and future plans. If something is still in development, it should be described that way. If something has not been confirmed, it should not be presented as a finished result.
We also do not consider pity pressure, shock content, or exaggerated promises to be ethical ways to speak to people. Support should grow from understanding and trust, not from manipulation.
THE TEAM
Why we want to be direct about who is building Paradox Nova
Paradox Nova is being built with artists, illustrators, and other professionals needed for a project of this kind. Many of them have themselves been affected by war.
We believe it is better to say this plainly than to hide it behind neutral language. This is not a project being shaped by a distant outside team with no personal connection to the subject. In many cases, it is being built by people whose lives have been directly affected by war.
For us, that does not mean using suffering as a message. It means being honest about who is involved, why this work matters, and why respect has to be built into the project from the beginning.
NO PRESSURE
Support should feel informed, calm, and safe
We want people to know where they are going, which channel is official, and who they can contact if they have a question. Support should not begin with urgency, unclear payment details, or vague promises.
That is why official pages, official inboxes, and clear contact routes matter to us not only for safety, but also for ethics. If someone has doubts, the first step should be verification, not pressure to act immediately.

FAQ
Common questions
Why does the fund need a separate ethics page?
Because trust depends not only on legal details, but also on how an organization speaks, what it explains, and how it treats the people who interact with it. This page exists to make those principles visible in plain language.
Is this a legal policy or a principles page?
This is a principles page. Where separate legal terms or formal policies are needed, they belong on their own pages, such as Privacy Policy, Terms, Refund Policy, or Transparency.
How does the fund view pressure-based fundraising?
We do not consider pity pressure, shock content, or manufactured urgency to be ethical ways of asking for support. We believe people should be able to understand what they are supporting and make decisions without being pushed.
Why does this page talk about the team behind Paradox Nova?
Because ethics is not only about abstract values. It is also about being honest about who is doing the work. If the project is being built by artists, illustrators, and other professionals, many of whom have themselves been affected by war, that should be stated clearly rather than hidden behind generic wording.
Where should I write if I have a question about ethics or transparency?
The main address for that is contact@warvictimsfund.com. If your question is privacy-related, use privacy@warvictimsfund.com. If the issue is suspicious activity, use report-scam@warvictimsfund.com.
Will this page evolve over time?
Yes. As more confirmed public materials and clearly documented practices are added, this page can become more detailed. But it should continue to include only statements that can be explained honestly and without exaggeration.
