TERMS OF SERVICE

Last updated: October 12, 2026

1. Overview

Welcome to Actual Studio!

These Terms of Service govern your access to and use of the Actual Studio website, online store, and related services.

Actual Studio specializes in sacred art, Catholic statues, archangels, crucifixes, nativity sets, and decorative products designed to bring faith, beauty, and inspiration into your home.

Throughout these Terms, the words "we", "us", and "our" refer to Actual Studio. The words "you" and "your" refer to anyone visiting our website or purchasing our products.

By visiting our website or placing an order, you agree to these Terms of Service and our applicable store policies.

Please read these Terms carefully before using our website. If you do not agree with them, please do not use our services.

Our online store is hosted by Shopify, which provides the e-commerce platform that allows us to offer our products and services.

2. Eligibility and Use of Our Website

By using this website, you confirm that you are legally capable of entering into a binding agreement under the laws applicable to you.

You agree not to use our website or products for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable laws or regulations.

You must not introduce malicious software, attempt to compromise the security of our website, or interfere with its normal operation.

We reserve the right to restrict access to our services if we reasonably believe that a user has violated these Terms or engaged in fraudulent or unlawful activity.

3. Products and Descriptions

Actual Studio offers decorative and religious products, including statues, archangels, crucifixes, and other sacred decorations.

Our products are designed and produced in Portugal, with many items manufactured to order.

We make reasonable efforts to display product descriptions, dimensions, colors, photographs, and other details as accurately as possible.

However, please note that:

  • Colors may appear slightly different depending on your screen and device settings.
  • Minor variations in finish and appearance may occur during the manufacturing process.
  • Dimensions and weights are approximate unless otherwise specified.
  • Our products are decorative items and should be handled with appropriate care.

As our products are manufactured using 3D printing technology, certain characteristics associated with this manufacturing process may be visible.

Such characteristics do not automatically constitute a defect, provided the product conforms to its description and applicable legal requirements.

We reserve the right to correct errors, update product information, and discontinue products when necessary.

4. Orders and Order Acceptance

When you place an order through our website, you are submitting a purchase request.

You are responsible for ensuring that your shipping address, contact information, selected product, size, color, and other order details are correct.

After receiving your order, we may send an order confirmation by email. This confirmation acknowledges receipt of your order but does not necessarily mean that the order has been dispatched.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order where permitted by applicable law, including in cases involving suspected fraud, payment authorization issues, pricing errors, or product availability problems.

If we cancel an order after payment has been collected, we will refund the amount paid for the cancelled order.

Nothing in this section limits any rights you may have under applicable consumer protection laws.

5. Made-to-Order Products

Many Actual Studio products are made to order.

Production generally begins after an order has been placed and the payment has been accepted.

For this reason, processing times may vary depending on product availability, production capacity, order volume, and the complexity of the item.

If you wish to cancel an order, please contact us as soon as possible.

We will do our best to accommodate cancellation requests received before production begins. However, cancellation may not be possible once production has started, subject to your applicable legal rights.

Products made to the customer's specifications or clearly personalized may be subject to specific legal exceptions concerning cancellation and withdrawal rights.

Please refer to our Return & Refund Policy for additional information.

6. Prices and Payments

All prices are displayed in the currency indicated on our website.

Applicable taxes, shipping charges, and other costs will be displayed during checkout where required.

Prices and promotions may change without prior notice. Any change will not affect an order that has already been accepted, except where correction or cancellation is permitted by applicable law.

Payment must be successfully authorized before an order can be processed.

We use payment services available through our e-commerce platform to process transactions. We do not intend to collect or store your complete payment card details directly.

Promotional offers and discounts may be subject to specific conditions, including validity periods, product eligibility, or other restrictions stated at the time of the offer.

7. Shipping and Delivery

Actual Studio ships products from Portugal to the destinations available at checkout.

Estimated production and delivery times are provided for guidance only and may vary depending on the destination, shipping carrier, customs procedures, and other circumstances outside our control.

Once an order has been dispatched, delivery is handled by the selected shipping carrier.

Tracking information may not update immediately after dispatch. Temporary tracking delays do not necessarily mean that a parcel has stopped moving.

We will make reasonable efforts to assist customers with delivery-related enquiries.

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate shipping address. Additional costs arising from an incorrect or incomplete address may be the customer's responsibility where permitted by law.

Any delivery estimates provided by Actual Studio do not limit mandatory consumer rights relating to delivery deadlines or delayed orders.

8. International Orders, Customs and Import Charges

Orders shipped outside the European Union may be subject to import duties, taxes, customs clearance fees, or other charges imposed by the destination country.

Unless explicitly stated otherwise at checkout or in the applicable shipping terms, these charges are not included in the product price and may be payable by the recipient.

Customers are responsible for checking any import restrictions or requirements applicable to their destination.

Actual Studio cannot guarantee that customs authorities will release a parcel within a particular timeframe.

We will comply with applicable shipping, customs, and export requirements.

9. Returns, Refunds and Consumer Rights

Our Return & Refund Policy explains the procedures for requesting a return, cancellation, replacement, or refund.

Please review that policy before placing an order.

Nothing in these Terms of Service or our other store policies is intended to exclude, restrict, or override any mandatory consumer rights applicable to your purchase.

Where applicable, customers retain their statutory rights regarding defective, damaged, or non-conforming products, as well as any applicable rights of withdrawal.

10. Intellectual Property

All content on the Actual Studio website, including product designs, photographs, graphics, logos, text, branding, and other materials, is owned by Actual Studio or used with appropriate authorization, unless otherwise stated.

This content is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.

You may not reproduce, distribute, modify, publish, commercially exploit, or otherwise use our content without prior written permission, except where permitted by law.

Purchasing a physical product does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property rights associated with its design or branding.

11. Customer Communications and Reviews

If you submit a review, comment, suggestion, photograph, or other content to us, you confirm that you have the right to share it.

You agree not to submit content that is unlawful, misleading, defamatory, abusive, or infringes the rights of others.

Where you voluntarily provide content for publication or promotional use, we will handle it in accordance with applicable law and any permissions required.

We reserve the right to remove content that violates these Terms or applicable law.

12. Third-Party Services and Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites or use services provided by third parties, including payment providers, shipping companies, and Shopify.

These third-party services may be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

We are not responsible for the content or practices of independent third-party websites that we do not control.

The inclusion of a link does not necessarily imply endorsement of the linked website or service.

13. Errors and Website Availability

We make reasonable efforts to maintain accurate product information and reliable website operation.

However, errors may occasionally occur, including typographical errors, inaccurate descriptions, pricing errors, or technical problems.

We reserve the right to correct such errors and update information when necessary, subject to applicable law and any rights arising from orders already accepted.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free access to our website.

We may temporarily suspend or modify website features for maintenance, security, or operational reasons.

14. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Actual Studio shall not be liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from the use of our website or products where such liability may lawfully be excluded.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation is prohibited by law.

In particular, nothing in this section limits mandatory consumer rights, statutory product guarantees, or remedies available for defective or non-conforming products.

15. Privacy and Personal Information

Your use of our website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal information.

Personal information submitted through our store is processed in accordance with applicable data protection laws, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), where applicable.

Please review our Privacy Policy to understand how your information is handled.

16. Governing Law

These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of Portugal, without prejudice to any mandatory consumer protection provisions that apply under the laws of the customer's country of residence.

If you are a consumer residing in another country, you may retain the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law applicable to your consumer contract.

Any disputes shall be handled by the competent courts determined in accordance with applicable law.

17. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms of Service from time to time.

Any changes will be published on this page, together with the updated revision date.
