Effective September 19, 2026
1. Adults only
Artificially Feral: After Dark is an adults-only publication. You must be at least 18 years old to enter, create an account, purchase an edition, comment, or submit work.
2. Accounts
You are responsible for keeping your password and account access secure and for providing accurate account information. Do not impersonate another person or use another person's account without permission. After Dark may suspend access when reasonably necessary to protect the service, other users, or purchased content.
3. Reader purchases
Paid editions are sold as one-time purchases through Ko-fi. A completed eligible purchase can be attached to My Library after the checkout email has been verified on the matching After Dark account. The price and included material shown for an edition at checkout apply to that purchase.
If a payment is refunded, reversed, charged back, or determined to be fraudulent, the related access may be revoked. Payment processing and any information you provide during checkout are also subject to Ko-fi's terms.
4. Purchased downloads
If a purchased edition includes a downloadable file, a verified account with the matching purchase may download that file from My Library and access it again while the purchase entitlement remains active. After Dark does not use copy-protection or digital-rights-management software on downloaded files.
5. Intellectual property
Purchasing or accessing an edition does not transfer ownership of the underlying copyright, trademarks, branding, or third-party materials unless an edition explicitly says otherwise. Original materials remain with Artificially Feral, the credited creator, or the applicable rights holder.
6. Community features
Comments and other community features must be used lawfully and without harassment, threats, spam, impersonation, malicious links, or attempts to interfere with the service. After Dark may hide, remove, pin, or moderate comments and may restrict abusive accounts.
7. Contributor submissions
Community submissions are governed by the separate Submission & Editorial Terms. Sending a submission does not guarantee publication or payment.
8. Acceptable use
Do not attack, scrape abusively, bypass access controls, probe private systems, upload malware, attempt to claim another person's purchase, or use After Dark in a way that violates applicable law or the rights of another person.
9. Editorial and informational material
After Dark publishes creative, educational, cultural, and entertainment material about AI relationships, intimacy, games, and related subjects. Unless a piece explicitly states otherwise, publication content is not medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.
10. Availability and changes
Features, prices, formats, and availability may change as the publication evolves. Reasonable efforts are made to keep purchased access available, but uninterrupted or error-free operation cannot be guaranteed.
11. Privacy
Use of After Dark is also subject to the Privacy Policy, which explains how account, purchase, analytics, comment, and submission data are handled.
12. Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated when the publication or its services materially change. The effective date above will be updated when a new version is posted.
