What is Soft Cap and Hard Cap?

Soft Cap and Hard Cap are the goals that are aimed during the fundraising process in STO or ICO projects.  
The soft cap is the minimum amount of money or lower limit of the amount to be raised and the Hard Cap is the maximum or absolute upper limit of the amount to be raised during fundraising.
If the ICO or STO project receives the amount more than the hard cap, the excess funds are returned to the investors. If a project doesn’t reach the soft cap, then the project might be considered as a failure but still, funds are returned sometimes. However, there is an ambiguity in soft cap terms and conditions of ICOs.
