Terms of Service

Operated by Fandle Inc. · Effective date: July 1, 2026 · Last updated: July 1, 2026

Current phase notice. S2fan is in pre-registration / waitlist phase. No shop, listing, checkout, or payment functionality described below is live yet. These Terms govern (a) your use of this website and the pre-registration, feedback, and hiring forms linked from it, and (b) your future use of the S2fan marketplace once it launches. Sections describing marketplace functionality (shops, pre-orders, con pickup, mail order, fees) take effect for a given user upon that user's acceptance of an updated Terms of Service at product launch.

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Fandle Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Fandle," "S2fan," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the website located at S2fan's domain, any related subdomains, and the pre-registration, feedback, and hiring forms linked from it (together, the "Site"). By accessing the Site, submitting a form on the Site, or checking a box indicating agreement, you accept these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

2. Who We Are

S2fan is a marketplace built for fan artists and doujin creators to sell fan goods — commissions, pre-orders, convention ("con") pickups, and mail order — to fans who follow the same fandoms. FANDLE INC. operates as a "Pure Marketplace" (Venue): we provide the platform infrastructure that connects independent artists ("Sellers") with fans ("Buyers"), but we are not a party to the specific transactions or contracts between Users, and we do not take title to any goods or digital assets sold on the Service. S2fan is operated by:

FANDLE INC.
A Delaware corporation
Registered address: 111B S Governors Ave Ste 40082, Dover, DE 19904-6903-117, USA
Legal / DMCA contact: legal@fandle.me
General support: support@fandle.me
Privacy inquiries: privacy@fandle.me

Fandle Inc. is a separate legal entity from Firebolt Inc. (주식회사 파이어볼트), which operates Witchform. References to "S2fan" or "Surf2Fan" throughout this document mean the product operated by Fandle Inc.

3. Eligibility & Age Requirement

FANDLE INC. enforces an age policy designed to comply with global regulations, including the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • Under 13 — prohibited. Access to the Service is strictly prohibited for children under 13, regardless of parental consent. We do not knowingly collect personal information from this age group.
  • Ages 13–17 — parent/guardian-controlled account only. Individuals in this age range may only use the Service through an account owned and managed by a parent or legal guardian, with that adult's explicit permission and direct supervision. The adult account holder takes full legal and financial responsibility for all activity on the account, and all financial transactions must be expressly authorized by the adult account holder.
  • 18 and older — independent account. Adults may independently create an account and use the full suite of Services.

Because the platform can be used by minors under adult supervision, S2fan does not rely on an age gate to manage mature content risk. Instead, adult, sexual, or exploitative content is prohibited outright regardless of who is viewing it — see Section 8.

4. Pre-Registration & Waitlist

The pre-registration form (tally.so/r/EkgbMl) lets you join the S2fan waitlist and reserve early access. Pre-registering:

  • Does not create a shop, listing, or account with purchasing/selling functionality.
  • Does not guarantee access, a launch date, or any specific feature set.
  • Does not constitute a financial transaction. No payment is collected at pre-registration.
  • May entitle you to the "0% seller fee at launch" perk referenced on the Site, subject to terms we publish at launch. Buyers will be charged a payment & buyer-protection fee (currently disclosed as 5% on the Site) at checkout once the marketplace is live; this fee is charged to the buyer, not the seller.

5. Feedback Program

The feedback form (tally.so/r/q4poA8) lets you tell us what features matter most to you. By submitting feedback, you grant Fandle Inc. a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, and incorporate that feedback into S2fan without obligation to compensate or credit you. Do not submit feedback you consider confidential or proprietary.

6. Careers & Job Applications

The Site's Careers section links to role-specific application forms, currently:

Submitting an application form does not create an employment or contractor relationship. Application data is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. We may retain application data to consider you for other open roles unless you ask us to delete it.

7. The Marketplace (Future Functionality)

The following describes functionality S2fan intends to launch and will govern your use of it once live. We will republish or amend these Terms at launch and require acceptance before any shop, checkout, or payment feature becomes available to you.

7.1 Creator Shops & Catalogs

Creators ("Sellers") will be able to open a shop, publish a catalog of items, and set pickup or shipping options. Sellers are solely responsible for the accuracy of their listings, the legality of the goods and content they sell, and fulfilling orders.

7.2 Pre-Orders

Buyers may pre-order items before they are produced. Funds paid for pre-orders are intended to be held and released to the Seller upon confirmed pickup or delivery, as described on the Site ("funds held and released once they pick up or receive it"). Sellers are responsible for producing and fulfilling pre-ordered items within a reasonable time of the stated pickup or ship date.

7.3 Convention Pickup

Where a Seller offers con pickup, orders are marked fulfilled via in-app QR code scan at the point of handoff. Sellers and Buyers are both responsible for coordinating pickup logistics in good faith.

7.4 Mail Order

After a con or at any time a Seller chooses, the same shop can convert to standard mail order. Shipping, customs, and delivery timelines are the Seller's responsibility unless otherwise stated on a specific listing.

8. Content Policy & Mature Content

S2fan serves fan art, doujin, and fandom-adjacent communities, and because the platform is accessible to supervised users as young as 13 (see Section 3), it is not an adult-content platform. The following rules apply to all content posted, sold, or distributed on S2fan:

  • No adult or sexual content, period. Sexually explicit, pornographic, or fetish content is not permitted on S2fan, regardless of labeling, warnings, or filters. This is not an age-gating policy — such content is prohibited outright.
  • Absolute prohibitions. The following are never permitted on S2fan under any circumstances: content depicting or sexualizing minors in any form, including stylized or fictional depictions of characters presented as minors (e.g., "lolicon"-style artwork); non-consensual sexual content presented approvingly; content promoting exploitation or abuse; and content that is illegal in the jurisdiction where it is created, sold, or shipped.
  • Fan work & underlying IP. Doujin and fan art frequently reference copyrighted characters and franchises owned by third parties. Sellers are solely responsible for ensuring their listings do not infringe third-party intellectual property rights, and for responding to and complying with any takedown notice S2fan forwards to them (see Section 9).
  • Moderation. We actively monitor listings and content for violations of this section and of applicable law, including via automated and manual review.
  • Enforcement. We may remove content, suspend shops, or terminate accounts that violate this section, with or without notice, and may report content to law enforcement where required by law.

9. Intellectual Property & Fan Content

Sellers retain ownership of the original creative elements of their own work. By listing an item, a Seller grants S2fan a license, strictly limited to (1) service operation and improvement (correctly displaying Your Content across devices and browsers, and improving recommendation algorithms) and (2) marketing and promotion (featuring your work and the Fandle ecosystem via social media, digital advertisements, and offline promotional materials).

AI and data-scraping policy. FANDLE INC. will not use Seller content to train, develop, or fine-tune our own generative AI models. We implement technical measures (such as "No-AI" meta-tagging where applicable) to discourage third-party scrapers from harvesting content hosted on the platform. Should we introduce AI-assisted tools in the future, they will be opt-in, and no artist's work will be used without explicit, prior consent.

S2fan responds to valid notices of copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and comparable regimes. Rights holders may submit a written "Notice of Infringement" to our Designated Agent:

Designated Agent: FANDLE INC. Legal Department
Address: 111B S Governors Ave Ste 40082, Dover, DE 19904-6903-117, USA
Email: legal@fandle.me (primary contact for expedited processing)

We may remove listings, disable accounts of repeat infringers, and forward counter-notices as required by law.

S2fan does not claim ownership of, and is not responsible for, underlying franchises, characters, or trademarks referenced in fan works listed by Sellers.

10. Payments, Fees & Funds Handling

Payment processing at launch is expected to be provided by a third-party payment processor (e.g., Stripe). Payment processing is subject to that processor's own terms and identity-verification requirements, which Sellers must complete to receive payouts. S2fan does not store full payment card numbers.

PartyFee (as disclosed at pre-registration)
Sellers who pre-register0% selling fee, no hosting/server fee, unlimited shop pages, full feature access — as offered at launch under the pre-registration perk
Buyers5% payment & buyer-protection fee at checkout, charged to the buyer, never the seller

Fee structures are subject to change with notice before launch and may vary by region due to payment-processor or tax requirements.

11. Prohibited Conduct

  • Violating Section 8 (Content Policy) or Section 9 (IP).
  • Circumventing S2fan's payment flow to avoid fees once the marketplace is live (e.g., directing buyers to pay off-platform for a listed item).
  • Providing false identity, age, or business information.
  • Scraping, reverse-engineering, or interfering with the Site's operation.
  • Harassing other users, fans, or creators.
  • Using the Site to facilitate fraud, money laundering, or the sale of counterfeit or illegal goods.

12. Suspension & Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Site or, once launched, your shop or buyer account, at our discretion, for violation of these Terms, suspected fraud, legal requirement, or risk to other users. You may stop using the Site at any time and may request deletion of your data as described in our Privacy Policy.

13. Disclaimers

THE SITE AND, ONCE LAUNCHED, THE MARKETPLACE ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY PRE-REGISTRATION PERK, LAUNCH DATE, OR FEATURE DESCRIBED ON THE SITE WILL BE DELIVERED AS DESCRIBED.

14. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, FANDLE INC. WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY. OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE PRECEDING TWELVE MONTHS, WHICHEVER IS GREATER.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Fandle Inc. and its officers, employees, and agents from any claim, liability, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your content, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any third party's rights, including intellectual property rights in fan or doujin content you list.

16. Governing Law & Arbitration

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles, and by applicable U.S. federal law.

Binding arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site will be resolved through final and binding arbitration on an individual basis, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court. You and Fandle Inc. each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in a class action. Arbitration will be administered by a recognized arbitration provider (e.g., JAMS or AAA) under its rules then in effect, seated in Delaware unless the parties agree otherwise. This section does not limit either party's right to seek injunctive relief for infringement or misuse of intellectual property.

17. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms as the product evolves, in particular when marketplace functionality (shops, checkout, payouts) becomes live. We will post the updated Terms on the Site with a new "Last updated" date and, for material changes, will seek renewed acceptance before you can use the affected feature.
