Hi!
What generally happends when the soft cap of an ico is not reached? Are the funds returned to the investors or not?

Also, is it common that the ico is prolonged or that special arrangements are made with a few private investors (at discount) in order to reach the cap?

Depends on the developer, in accordance with the ICO! And other related factors

I think most ICO's put the soft and hard cap details in the white paper.

Generally, if the soft cap is not reached the funds returns to investors wallet. Unless the team are scammers.

Special arrangements are unfortunately becoming more common, and prolonging the ICO is typically seen as a bad sign. It tends to represent a general lack of interest.
