Creative Control is an experimental funding mechanism for creative work. Pledges are voluntary contributions of support. They are not purchases, pre-orders, investments, loans, equity, charitable donations, or tax-deductible contributions.
A pledge does not guarantee that any specific project will be made, published, delivered by a particular date, or made in a particular way. Project descriptions, sketches, timelines, and estimated scopes are good-faith indications of creative intent, not binding commitments.
Final creative decisions remain entirely at the creator's discretion. The creator may revise, combine, delay, abandon, archive, or reinterpret a project if circumstances change or if they believe a different creative direction is appropriate.
Pledges are non-refundable except where required by law or where Creative Control chooses, at its sole discretion, to correct an error. Please only pledge money you are comfortable contributing without receiving a guaranteed outcome.
Payments are processed by Stripe. Creative Control does not receive, store, or handle your full credit card number, CVC, or other sensitive card details on its servers. Creative Control stores only the information needed to record the pledge, such as project ID, amount, timestamp, Stripe payment reference, and any optional name or message you choose to provide.
If you provide an optional name or message, it may be used publicly in connection with the project or Creative Control unless it is inappropriate, misleading, or otherwise unsuitable. Creative Control may remove or edit supporter-facing text at its discretion.
