Terms of Service
These terms govern your use of Comics That Pop (the “Service”), a browser-based tool for making comics. By using the Service you agree to them.
Who we are
Comics That Pop is an independently built tool. You can reach us at hello@comicsthatpop.com — that address is monitored and is the right place for any question about these terms, your privacy, or a problem with the Service.
Who can use it
Making comics is for everyone, at any age. The editor needs no account, runs entirely in your browser and sends us nothing, so there is nothing here for us to gate.
What the Service does
Comics That Pop runs in your web browser. You build comic pages from your own photos, GIFs and sound, and export them as video, PDF, PNG or eBook files.
Your comics stay on your device. Pages, photos, audio and exports are stored in your browser’s local storage and are generated on your own device. We do not receive, store or have access to them. See the Privacy Policy for the detail.
There is no exception to that today. Every feature on this site runs on your own device, so there is nothing for us to receive — see Privacy.
Your content is yours
You keep all rights to the comics you make and the material you put into them. We claim no license over your content. All of it stays on your device, so we could not use it even if we wanted to.
Backups are your responsibility
Because your work is held in your browser, it can be lost in ways we cannot prevent or recover from — clearing site data, browser privacy settings, uninstalling the browser, or losing the device. Use the backup feature to save a copy of anything you care about. We cannot restore lost comics.
Acceptable use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Create or process material you do not have the rights to, including copyrighted images, GIFs or audio belonging to someone else.
- Create material that is unlawful, defamatory, harassing, or that sexualises or endangers children.
- Load URLs that point at private, internal or restricted network addresses, or otherwise attempt to misuse the URL-loading feature.
- Interfere with the Service, attempt to gain unauthorised access, or place unreasonable load on it.
Because content is created and stored on your device, you are solely responsible for what you make and for having the rights to the material you use — including anything you load by pasting a link.
Our brand
The Comics That Pop name, logo and the software itself remain ours. Exports carry a small Comics That Pop watermark; please do not strip or obscure it.
Cost
Making comics is free, with every editing feature and every export format available to everyone. Exports carry a small Comics That Pop watermark.
Nothing on this site can charge you. There is no checkout, no account to hold a balance and nothing offered for sale, so there is no way to spend money here even by accident. We expect to add paid artwork tools and printed copies later; if we do, these terms will be updated before anything goes on sale, and nothing you can do today will start costing money without you being told first.
Availability and disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is”. We aim to keep it working and available, but we do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that exports will succeed on every device or browser. Export performance and supported formats vary between browsers and devices, particularly on mobile.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for lost content, lost profit or lost opportunity — including work lost from your browser.
Where we are liable, and to the extent the law allows us to limit it, our total liability is capped at the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or US$50.
Nothing in these terms removes or limits your statutory rights as a consumer, nor our liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded.
Your responsibility for what you make
You decide what to create and what to publish. If a claim is brought against us because of content you created, published or uploaded — because it infringed someone’s rights, broke the rules above, or broke the law — you agree to cover the reasonable costs and damages we incur as a result.
This applies to how you use the Service, not to consumer rights you have in the Service itself, and only where the claim arises from your own breach of these terms.
Ending your use
You may stop using the Service at any time; your comics remain on your device until you delete them. We may suspend access if these terms are breached in a way that is unlawful or harms the Service or other users.
Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the bottom of this page shows when they last changed.
Where you are, and which law applies
Comics That Pop is operated from Spain, and these terms are governed by Spanish law. Wherever you live, that does not take away protections your own law gives you:
- In the EU or EEA, you keep the mandatory consumer law of your country of residence and may bring proceedings there.
- In the United States, you keep any rights your state’s consumer protection law gives you, which nothing here is intended to displace.
- Anywhere else, the same principle: local consumer rights that cannot be contracted away are unaffected.
Because we operate from the EU, we apply the same data protection standard to everyone, wherever you live, rather than a weaker one outside Europe. See the Privacy Policy.
Refunds
Nothing on this site is for sale today — making, exporting and sharing comics is free, there is no checkout, and nothing here can charge you. So there is nothing to refund.
If you have a question about any of this, email hello@comicsthatpop.com. We would rather sort something out than argue about it.
