How Buying Works
Terms of Sale
What you're buying, how payment and delivery actually happen, and when a purchase is final — the mechanics of a Sirenwave Studios sale. The cooling-off window lives in the Refund Policy; what you can do with the code lives in Software Licensing. This page is everything in between.
The Products
What you're buying
Ghostlight Basic & Ghostlight Plus+
Both are self-hosted source-code kits — you're buying the code, configuration, and setup guide, not a hosted subscription or a running service. Ghostlight Basic is a one-time €50 purchase. Ghostlight Plus+ is also a one-time purchase through the same Ko-Fi listing model; see the Ghostlight product page for its current price and exactly what each tier includes.
Ghostlight Premium
A commissioned, fully custom companion build starting from €750, purchased directly through Ko-Fi. You're buying a build slot and the private companion that comes out of it, not an off-the-shelf kit — work begins once your design questionnaire is submitted. See Ghostlight Premium for the current starting price, what's included, and the full add-on catalog.
Sirenware Prompt Vault
Digital prompt packs — written prompt and reference material, not software you deploy. Sold individually or as a bundle, through Patreon and Ko-Fi. See Prompt Vault for current packs, bundle pricing, and what each one covers.
Custom Builds
A bespoke commissioned service built on Ghostlight Plus, not a fixed-price product. The Custom Builds page has a configurator that gives a starting estimate from your chosen build level and add-ons; the real price is confirmed as a quote after your request is reviewed, and the build is booked with a deposit once that quote is agreed.
Checkout
How payment works
Ko-Fi and Patreon handle the money
Every purchase on this site — kits, Premium, Prompt Vault, and custom build deposits and balances — is processed by Ko-Fi or Patreon, not by Sirenwave Studios directly. You enter your payment details on their checkout, under their terms, and they handle the transaction. This website does not process or store your card details at any point.
Card payments may be added later
A direct Stripe or PayPal checkout may be added in the future, but it isn't live today — right now, Ko-Fi and Patreon are the only ways to buy anything on this site. If that changes, this page and the relevant product pages will be updated to reflect it.
Custom builds: deposit, then balance
Custom build work is paid in two parts through Ko-Fi payment links sent with your quote — a deposit to secure your build slot, and the remaining balance before final handoff (larger builds can be split across agreed milestones instead). See Custom Builds for the full payment structure.
After You Buy
How delivery works
Source-code kits: instant
Ghostlight Basic and Ghostlight Plus+ are delivered the moment your Ko-Fi purchase completes — a setup guide and a one-click Railway deploy template, sent privately with your order. There's no manual handoff step and no waiting on a person. See Getting Started for what that setup process looks like.
Ghostlight Premium and Custom Builds: commissioned
These are built to order, so delivery is a process, not an instant download. After purchase (Premium) or after your quote is agreed and deposited (Custom Builds), you'll complete a design questionnaire or intake details; the companion is then built, tested, and handed over with setup guidance. See Ghostlight Premium and Custom Builds for typical timelines — they vary by package and scope.
Sirenware Prompt Vault: digital access
Prompt packs are delivered through whichever platform you buy on — Patreon or Ko-Fi — following that platform's own delivery mechanism for digital goods. See Prompt Vault for details.
Contract Formation
When a purchase is final
The sale completes on Ko-Fi or Patreon's checkout
The transaction itself — the moment your payment is authorized and your order is placed — happens on Ko-Fi's or Patreon's own checkout, under their platform terms. Sirenwave Studios doesn't run a separate checkout of its own for source-code kits or Ghostlight Premium.
Kits and Premium: order placed, then delivered
For Ghostlight Basic, Plus+, and Premium, your order is placed the moment checkout completes on Ko-Fi. From there, delivery follows as described above — instantly for kits, via questionnaire and build process for Premium.
Custom builds: quote acceptance and deposit
For Custom Builds, the configurator estimate isn't the sale — it's a starting point. The engagement is booked once a final quote is agreed and the deposit is paid through the Ko-Fi link sent with that quote; that's the point work begins.
The Practical Bits
Pricing, currency, and what you'll need
Currency and current pricing
Ghostlight kits, Ghostlight Premium, and Custom Builds are priced in Euros (€). Prices are set and displayed on each product's own page, which is the source of truth if anything here ever falls out of date — see Ghostlight, Ghostlight Premium, Prompt Vault, and Custom Builds for what things cost right now.
What you'll need on your end
Buyers are responsible for their own hosting, API keys, provider accounts, platform accounts, data handling, and third-party service terms. None of that is included in the purchase price unless a specific package says otherwise — see each product page for exactly what's included and what isn't.
What the purchase does and doesn't grant
Buying a kit or a commissioned build gets you the product described on its page. It doesn't, by itself, spell out what you're allowed to do with the code afterward — redistribute it, resell it, run it commercially. That's covered separately in Software Licensing.
Adults only
Ghostlight and Alethyra products are source-code kits and digital resources intended for adults aged 18+. By purchasing, you're confirming you meet that requirement.
