The No Harassment Policy:

By browsing this site and requesting or purchasing services or products, you automatically agree to not falsely associate, send, intend, and/or plan to send inappropriate or otherwise violating content at any point in time to the parties of a.h. creative press, myself, external hires, followers, students or clients and/or in general. All client meetings and calls are audio-recorded for safety and security purposes though deliverable, client request and reference accuracy are equal factors for this. No harassment or otherwise unwelcome behavior will be tolerated in general, including from clients, potential clients, external hires, students, and general inquiry alike, and/or in general. Any attempt to meddle with the safety of myself, clients, external hires, external services, class or workshop participants, any company or personal platforms, and/or the site, the No Harassment Policy, or Terms & Conditions, and/or in general will be reported, flagged, and blocked immediately on both professional and personal platforms if they have not already, including those from before the start of this company. Any and all suspected terrorism, terrorists and terrorist affiliates will be blocked, flagged, and reported immediately.

As a strictly heterosexual mixed-race individual biological female and American citizen, I, Alexis Hicks as founder, owner and creative director and my company do not tolerate or willingly work with and/or for anything that violates, attempts to degrade, or otherwise attempts to harass, intends to harass, or otherwise harasses mixed-race American heterosexual women and heterosexuality as a whole. By agreeing to these Terms & Conditions and using any of my products, services or interacting with my platforms or anything solely under the name and ownership of a.h. creative press by The Creative Press Company, you agree to automatic fines and obligatory payment of these fines for the following:

A) You will be fined $10,000 USD minimum per offense if you falsely claim that I am not or falsely refer to me as otherwise and/or falsely claim desire to be otherwise. I also do not tolerate or willingly work with and/or for attempted claiming of false citizenship rights (domestic or not) and/or racial slander and other harassment revolving around mixed-race individuals or associations specifically which is not limited to any group, nationality, or citizenship.

B) You will be fined at least $10,000 USD per offense minimum if you falsely claim that I am or falsely claim that I desire to be or falsely refer to me as ‘black’, ‘African-American’, ‘pro-Black Lives Matter’, ,pro-All Lives Matter’, ‘anti-mixed race’, ‘pro-supremacist’, ‘pro-Africa’, ‘pro-African’, ‘pro-Middle East’, ‘pro-Central or Latin America’, ‘pro-Asia’, ‘pro-Caribbean’, ‘woman of color’, ‘person of color’, ‘gay’, ‘bi’, ‘bisexual’, ‘trans’, ‘pro-gay and/or bisexual and/or trans rights movement’, ‘polyamorous’, ’non-monogamous’, ‘millennial’, ‘anti-feminist’,  ‘feminist’, ‘pro-feminist’, ‘anti-women’s rights’, ‘grouping mixed-race people’, ‘seeking other mixed-race individuals’,  ‘seeking mixed-race groups’, ‘anti-support’ for me as an individual and/or a.h. creative press under what I deem to be needed and thus welcome in the first place—if at all, ‘misogynist’, ‘pro-misogyny’, ‘asexual’, a ‘sorority member’, a ‘sorority sister’, ‘pro-sorority’, ‘pro-fraternity’, okay or safe with those who make false statements claiming ‘everyone is gay’ or that ‘gay is the associated with with or equal to feminism’ or that ‘all women go through the same thing’ or that ‘racism does not exist’, ‘pro-life’, or any party or individual otherwise complacent with or in open support of molestation and attempted obstruction of equality and seniority of the innocent of any kind which includes any and all attempted physical contact, informal addressing, or sharing my information without my permission to those known as unwelcome or asking to share it with those already known as unwelcome, or lie about these Terms & Conditions and thus my personal and international life, reputation, responsibilities, and protection both in and outside of any professional environment or false claim of automatic affiliation and right of any kind from any of the groups clearly warned in these Terms & Conditions as to attempt such as it is legally and by definition is molestation and sexual harassment, endangerment, and misogyny and on all levels both under the Terms & Conditions of a.h. creative press, the law, and the physical reality of being a heterosexual and mixed-race biological original heritage American female or male especially considering Virginia’s history and protective laws against those specific violations and children born to survivors, survivor cultures, and survivor-lineages and legacies.

C) A fine of $10,000 USD minimum will also be applied per offense of falsely claiming being owed an explanation from me or a.h. creative press itself as to why these are the Terms & Conditions in the first place or falsely claiming to be or speak for me, here defined as an individual unaffiliated with all warned groups outlined in these Terms & Conditions and an aware American individual, business owner, professional individual, and traveler willing and able to hear from and potentially work with those from any background or citizenship working and living against anti-heterosexual mixed-race American biological females and against violence and intended violence and other general harassment towards the greater innocent heterosexual biological female and male collective both locally and internationally who also do not support the horrific involvement in and cooperation with subpar and unlawful standards and expectations of biological heterosexual females and/or males and those also working against them and against cooperation with violators and thus anti-American, anti-diplomacy, anti-Franco-American allyship, and continued acceptance of general anti-American allyship cultural and social behavior, norms, realities, governments and internal or international terrorism, stalking, and other harassment rather than protecting them where and when present, and any attempt at domestic or international bribery as defined by The Creative Press Company

D) as well as $10,000 USD minimum per offense of falsely claiming that I am or falsely claiming that I desire to be or falsely referring to me as Hispanic, Latina, Arab, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, a terrorist or terrorist affiliate, religious, spiritual, ‘pro-astrology’, not a true-heritage American citizen, or that I owe or give up information and/or access to my unique citizenship and allyship benefits, merit and rights as an individual and American citizen both domestically and abroad.

E) Any and all experienced and witnessed stalking and open harassment both from all of these outlined unaffiliated groups and rare outliers from other self-identifying and formally recognized self-identifications and lineages willingly, consciously and repeatedly guilty of plagiarizing, violence, slander, negligence, false claims, constant threats, and open and private harassment and other stalking of myself as an innocent mixed-race heterosexual female of true American heritage and citizenship domestically and abroad and in allyship territory specifically are all reported, blocked, flagged, and fined to the maximum extent possible or will be.

F) You will be fined $10,000 USD minimum per offense if you falsely claim that I am or falsely claim that I desire to be or falsely refer to me as associated with any political party, obligated to be, or indebted to one. As I am running a business and professional and informed services and research only open to those equally professional individuals and teams with their own personal set of experiences, values, and goals working without obstruction of my reality, rights, authority and general Terms & Conditions, all fine minimums double per offense if the incident occurs from outside of the United States of America.

All fine totals subsequently double per offense if the incident occurs when I am outside of the United States of America and counts as international stalking and harassment. All fines must be paid immediately within a 3-month period. Otherwise, further proper legal action will be taken. A chart of all potential fines and their minimums will be made available here in the near future.

Anything else that falls under the category of general harassment is just as unsupported and not tolerated. If I deem this to be the case, I reserve all right to stop all services and contact, the associated party will be blocked, flagged, reported, as well as fined to the maximum extent possible on a case-by-case basis. There will be no refunds for work completed and any and all potential fees, fines, and legal action will also be taken as a result. Please report any and all violations, violation attempts, and/or other incidents already reported to the police or other proper legal authorities via the Support page. Do note that any and all clarification attempts to verify an incident or verify no issue in support of this policy still falls under this policy itself.

In terms of any of my personal information and thus anything on the About page and Personal Projects page, the following also applies: “As these are very rare, serious, and intense areas to be able to claim expertise, merit, and affiliation with, they must be respected as the individual, heritage, legal promises and agreements, and private lifelong work and timing they are. They are my personal time, money, energy, and individual certifications, network, legal promises, and even heritage-based personal and earned networking invitations, efforts, capabilities, and reserved rights, successes and experience that are not dependent on, inspired by, seeking, offered to, meant for, or made for anyone else but myself. Regardless of if you seek to work with me and/or learn from me or not, any attempt to copy-and-paste/stalk, directly plagiarize, falsely claim or obstruct my time in any location, rewards, network, heritage, identity, plans, promises, authority, citizenship, citizenship rights, good deeds, privately self-built life, businesses, or involvement in my private and personal creative work and ideas (all immediately under copyright law by default) will always be reported and fined to the fullest immediately if they have not already been as this is taken very seriously not only by me both domestically and abroad, but in the areas I outline and mention and by actual locals, original citizens, professionals, creatives, students, researchers, and the like. I do offer resources for those of you I approve of as fellow responsible professionals and individuals if you run into the same issue professionally and personally or anticipate it, so do reach out or request more on this in terms of content or if you need advising on similar goals. Know you’re not alone and the only one with legal rights to your incredible plans and work that must be carried out yourself and cannot be affiliated with another’s. You must request and be approved to receive explicit written and notarized permission sent from directly from me on my official and formally recognized letterhead to publish or share any elements or detail of my life or discuss me publicly via any form of media, both verbal and non-verbal, and my platforms are and will be the only official, desired and acceptable outlet for my information — this has always been the case both professionally and otherwise. For those of you who are clients, buyers, and fellow entrepreneurs and business owners, please know you can just contact me if you have any questions. Please know that this does not negatively affect or interfere with desires to responsibly tag and post about my website, products, and a.h. creative as a business and vice versa, as is always happily and naturally welcome in any and all mutual, genuine professional dynamics, agreements, contracts, and communities and thus foundations of them. I highly support and celebrate our niches and efforts and as the great opportunities and aid they are and can be. Thank you for your support! See the Terms & Conditions for more.”

My works, services, workshops, courses, approach and company are intended to be open invitations to learn in a professional environment with me as owner and head of company, creative director, advisor and teacher. By browsing or purchasing from or through this site you agree to all Terms and Conditions. Anyone featured who wishes for their work to be hidden for legal reasons, please send me a polite request - I only include or mention works under all guidelines for genuine professional and proper citing and crediting reasons, not unprofessional ones. The same intention and value goes for accounts followed on all social platforms. Classes also fall under products here. See the Privacy Policy here.

​II. No Plagiarism Policy

This system and all content was and is created and compiled completely independently by the sole legal owner, Alexis Hicks. Anyone with the same name or anyone who attempts to change their name to mine or attempts to steal my identity and/or plagiarize my work specifically and/or who have already attempted to meddle, plagiarize, or otherwise break the law will continue to be reported to the proper officials. Anyone who attempts to mimic or falsify being a part of or employed at or working with or on behalf of The Creative Press Company or the owner as an individual will be reported, fined, and charged to the fullest extent possible and will continue to be if not already in progress or completed. Plagiarizing www.ahcreativepress.com and/or all affiliated social media accounts is prohibited in their entirety or parts results in an automatic fine of $5,000 USD minimum, including all possible identity theft charges. Plagiarizing or using text from my About section specifically in any circumstance is prohibited and an automatic fine of $5,000 USD minimum and the maximum charges possible will be enforced, including attempted identity theft. Plagiarizing any of my portfolio items in including Case Studies and any and all other designated extras is prohibited and will be fined to the fullest extent possible with a minimum of $5,000 USD per item.

Everything automatically falls under Copyright law. The 12-Month Method Program and 15-Month Method Program are currently undergoing the U.S. Trademark process.

III. Booking, Project & Payment Policy

By booking any services with me or otherwise providing any deposit or paying any other service charge, you automatically agree to the current payment system and policy outlined in the service contract and here in the Terms & Conditions. Until both contract signature and non-refundable deposit are completed, you will not be added to the booking calendar and your project start date will continue to be moved. All will be specified and outlined accordingly in each contract. If a client refuses to pay after signing a contract and by all agreed upon days within the contract, a debt collection letter will be sent every week until the 10-week mark. After 10 weeks of no payment, the remaining owed amount doubles and debt collection letters will be sent every two weeks until payment is complete as all other required legal action is be taken after the aforementioned 10 weeks of no response.

After project details and totals are arranged and a payment schedule is agreed upon, you will receive a custom service contract and will be required to pay a non-refundable deposit equal to 50% of the confirmed total service quote. If a physical delivery is delayed, and/or delayed or cancelled due to an external party and thus external fault, I and a.h creative press am not liable or responsible for the delay or state or condition of the package and/or item. If necessary, a new one will be sent once proof is sent directly to a.h. creative press and there will be no refunds, partial or full. For workshop and course material, there is an equal fee for all participants so if you choose to not receive or use material, you will not receive any refund in this circumstance. Depending on accessibility levels, I may offer extra time or resources to the student in need to create a fair environment and experience, and will gladly provide all appropriate and relevant adjustments and insight the company deems possible. Accessibility requests can all be automatically directed to me and you are more than welcome to highlight this as a priority in the contact form as our policy intends for you to have the best experience possible with this company and me as the owner, founder and creative director and know that every suggestion is noted and kept and never sold to anyone. This is naturally and happily intended and arranged for privacy, safety, security reasons within company values including direct requests from you as the accessibility seeker for privacy, safety, and security. Please do no hesitate to let the company know what works best for you through the secure support request form as well as all other methods of communication.

The current $200 USD discount on any service for individuals following at least one social media platform and booking for the first time requires that the signing client must send me a screenshot as proof with the date and time prior to us arranging and signing your first contract and prior to payment to take advantage of this discount. The $200 USD discount can also be credited towards extended calls and e-mail appointments Monday through Thursday. See here for more.

IV. Classes, Sessions & Consulting

For creative workshops and classes specifically, all attendees are required to pay the workshop fee in full before receiving course material and course benefits. Both I and the company are not liable for any negative, unwelcome, or unexpected results or circumstances as a result of booking, purchasing and/or participating. I also implement zero tolerance policy for plagiarism, violence, or otherwise unwelcome intentions or acts before, during, or after any class, service, consultation, contact, communication, or request and thus in general. I also emphasize that this is a professional space to be treated with respect and maturity. All works and references have been selected purposefully for the sake of their logistical, artistic, creative, and business elements with respect and credit to the creators and authors. In supporting, opening up to, or participating in the arts and business, be it personal or professional, this press and it's owner are not responsible, liable, or associated with any unwelcome, unexpected, or negative incidents, actions, or consequences related to your work or site services, workshops, or booking a workshop, service, or item, and in general. Any attempt to meddle with the safety of myself, clients, class or workshop participants, any company or personal platforms, and/or the site throughout the entire process in relation to the company will be reported, flagged, and blocked immediately.

Workshop content may not be replicated and shared publicly by others for commercial reasons, though external and cited material is not included in this unless stated otherwise by the owners and you will have to check their own platforms and contact them for yourself if you have any questions. Please report plagiarism or other unwelcome attempts to cause issues directly here.

V. Logistics

I am an independent business owner, so please keep this in mind when considering timing and expectations.

I cannot and do not control certain realities of steps in the printing, shipping, or production process, nor reactions (i.e. external material shipment delays or rogue personnel) and thus in terms of the service process in general and once the project is complete from my own personal niche and range - I create, design, communicate, advise and potentially refer. I am here to make suggestions and share my expertise in my own personal way, on my terms, formally and officially doing business as founder, owner, and creative director of the legally registered business a.h. creative press, under no affiliation with any other individual, business, organization or group name with the same business name, legal name, or initials. Concerning any and all shop items or services intended for personal, professional, and internal company organization and administrative systems which include but are not limited to keeping any and all required and optional local, state, domestic or international registrations, paperwork, or suggested files prepared and correctly filed, The Creative Press Company as a company and Alexis Hicks as the owner and individual do not claim to be or replace or support the illegal practice of claiming to be a legal authority or service, and do not intend to. This website, company, and services are not a sub-brand or branch of any other website, business or services.

As a hired freelancer and registered sole proprietorship owner in the United States of America, when providing consulting on non-U.S. territory projects, it will always be to the fullest capacity and knowledge possible, though I am not a legal expert nor claim to be. It is always required for you to have any and all legal necessities ready to be shared to your best knowledge possible in our meetings as a prepared professional seeking professional services in terms of what is required or prohibited in the areas of content, marketing, branding, advertising, design, business and personal accounts on social media platforms and website platforms, Public Relations, and all other relevant and included sectors and legal trades and legal industries to the fullest capacity possible and concerning your specific project and request in general. I as the business owner will confirm all I can through external authorities and verified available information, regulations, and requirements to the best ability possible with no intention, plan, or desire to disobey U.S. or allyship international law. I am not liable for any external mistakes or undesired results and will always happily fix or confirm what I can in regards to proper solutions, changes, and adjustments as directly outlined in each service contract and these Terms & Conditions and under aforementioned laws. Do consider including or inquiring about including legal consulting fees for me to work with in your project budget if you feel this is required, relevant and helpful for you and your project while inquiring about, booking, and receiving services here.
