SECTION 1 – COMIC PITCH SUPPORT

1.1 Nature of Support

  • Our platform supports comic pitches that are yet to be developed into final comics.

  • Your support represents a voluntary financial donation toward the realization of a specific comic pitch. This is not a purpose-bound donation, see Section 1.2 of these Terms.

  • By sending a contribution, you enter into a donation agreement and express support for the selected comic pitch.

  • Contributions can be made using traditional payment methods available in our e-shop.

1.2 Campaign Success

  • The success of a comic pitch depends on reaching its target goal on our main platform.

  • If the selected comic pitch does not reach the necessary amount for realization, your funds will be refunded only if they have not already been used to support the comic pitch (especially for marketing and promotion).

  • You will be informed via email about the success or failure of the campaign.

  • Successfully funded comic pitches will be realized as full comics and made available in digital form on our main platform.

1.3 Intellectual Property Rights

  • Supporters do not acquire any intellectual property rights in comic pitches or final comics.

  • All intellectual property rights remain with the creators, authors of the comic pitches, and Whaleden.

  • Supporting a comic pitch does not grant any ownership or license rights to the content.

  • Copying, distributing, or otherwise unlawfully sharing comic pitches or final comics is prohibited.

  • Copyright infringement may result in legal action.

1.4 Donor Declaration

  • By agreeing to these Terms and making a donation, you confirm that you are legally competent and authorized to enter into this agreement, and that:

  • The donated funds are yours and are not derived from criminal activity;

  • You are financially able to make this donation and it does not exceed your usual financial transactions;

  • This transaction does not violate or circumvent any law applicable to you.

SECTION 2 – USE OF FUNDS AND NON-REFUNDABILITY

  • Promotion and marketing of the comic pitch

  • Development and preparation of the final comic

  • Realization and production of the final comic work

2.2 Non-Refundability

  • Funds used for successful comic pitches are non-refundable.

  • If a comic pitch is not realized due to insufficient support, funds will only be refunded if they have not yet been used for supporting the specific comic pitch (especially marketing and promotion).

  • A partial refund of unused donated funds may also be provided to donors in proportion to their contributions, if the comic pitch is not realized and the funds have not yet been spent.

2.3 Refund in Case of Failure

  • If a comic pitch does not reach its goal, your donation will be refunded up to the full amount.

  • Refunds are only made if the funds were not already used to support the comic pitch.

  • Refunds will be issued using the same method used for the original contribution.

  • This is not a purchase of a specific product, but a support of a creative comic pitch.

3.1 Support Rewards

  • As a thank-you for supporting a comic pitch, we offer rewards based on the donation amount.

  • Rewards are provided gradually according to the realization timeline of the comic pitch.

  • Others are sent after the final comic is completed and published.

3.2 Delivery of Rewards

  • We strive to deliver all rewards as advertised.

  • In case of unforeseen circumstances, we will inform you of any changes.

  • There is no legal claim to the provision of any reward, or to its provision in a specific form, in connection with the donated amount.
