Terms & Conditions

Last updated: December 30, 2025

Welcome to ACFA Creative House (“we,” “us,” “our”). By accessing or using acfacreativehouse.com (the “Site”), you agree to these Terms & Conditions (“Terms”). If you don’t agree, don’t use the Site. Simple.

1) Who We Are

ACFA Creative House is a creative studio and publishing space. We share original writing, artwork, comics, and related content, and may offer digital and/or physical products, downloads, and email updates.

2) Use of the Site

You may use this Site for personal, lawful purposes only.

You agree not to:

  • misuse the Site or try to break it
  • scrape, copy, or steal content
  • upload malicious code
  • attempt unauthorized access to any part of the Site

If you do, we reserve the right to block you. No speeches. Just consequences.

3) Intellectual Property (Our Work Stays Ours)

Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all content on this Site is owned by ACFA Creative House (or used with permission). That includes:

  • essays and written work
  • artwork and images
  • comics, characters, and panel designs
  • logos, branding, and layouts
  • downloadable products and files

You may not copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from our content without written permission.

You may:

  • share links to our pages
  • quote short excerpts with proper credit and a link back to the original
  • use our content only where legally allowed (fair use), and without being shady about it

If you want permission for something beyond that, contact us first. We’re reasonable when people act reasonable.

4) Digital and/or Physical Products & Downloads

A. Digital Products

We may offer digital products (downloads, PDFs, artwork files, etc.), including products sold through third-party providers like Buy Me a Coffee.

All digital sales are final unless a product is technically broken or unusable due to an error on our end.

If you purchase a digital download, you receive a personal, non-transferable license to use it for your own use. You may not:

  • resell it
  • distribute it
  • upload it publicly
  • share it as a “free resource”
  • use it to train AI or feed automated systems
  • claim it as your own work

Buying a digital file doesn’t mean you bought the rights to it.

B. Physical Products (Merch)

We may sell physical products (“Merch”) featuring original ACFA Creative House artwork, characters, and designs (“Porch Universe”).

All sales are final unless an item arrives defective, damaged, or materially incorrect due to our error. See Section D on Returns/Refunds

No Ownership Transfer (Porch Universe Stays Ours)

Buying merch does not transfer copyright, character rights, design rights, or licensing rights.

You’re buying the product—not permission to reproduce, resell, or commercially use the artwork or characters.

C. Fulfillment

Merch may be produced through Printful and shipped by ACFA Creative House (manual fulfillment) and other Third Party Fulfillment providers when necessary. Orders may also be processed through Buy Me a Coffee (BMAC).

D. Returns / Refunds

Because merch is made in small batches and/or on demand:

  • All sales are final, except when an item arrives defective, damaged, or materially incorrect due to our error.
  • If there’s an issue, contact us within 14 days of delivery with:
    • your order confirmation
    • clear photos of the issue
    • a short description

We will repair, replace, or refund at our discretion depending on the situation.

E. Chargebacks & Fraud

If a payment dispute or chargeback is filed fraudulently, we reserve the right to cancel future orders and restrict access to the Site.

F. Shipping Notes

Shipping timelines may vary depending on production time and manual fulfillment. We’re fast when we can be, but we are not Amazon and do not pretend to be.

5) Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to operate parts of the Site, including (but not limited to):

  • WordPress hosting
  • Google Analytics
  • MailerLite (email delivery)
  • Buy Me a Coffee (payments / tips)

These services may collect data through their own tools and are governed by their own policies. We link to their policies in our Privacy Policy.

We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of third-party websites.

6) Email Subscriptions

If you sign up for our email list:

  • you agree to receive emails from us
  • you can unsubscribe anytime
  • we won’t sell your info
  • we will sometimes send updates, announcements, and things worth reading

Details are in the Privacy Policy.

7) Comments and User Submissions (If Enabled)

If you submit comments, messages, or other content:

  • you are responsible for what you submit
  • you agree you have the right to share it
  • you agree not to post anything illegal, hateful, abusive, or spammy

We reserve the right to remove anything that breaks these rules or makes the Site feel like a dumpster fire.

8) Disclaimer (No Guarantees)

  • everything will always be accurate
  • the Site will be uninterrupted
  • the Site will be error-free
  • everything will be available forever

We are a creative studio, not a warranty department.

  • lost profits
  • lost data
  • business disruption
  • emotional devastation from reading something too real

Use the Site at your own risk.

10) Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the Site evolves. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top.

If you keep using the Site after changes, that means you accept the new Terms.
