Terms of Service
The terms that cover this site
These Terms of Service govern your use of the Acf-P Pizza Academy website, operated from 1290 North Wells Street, Chicago, IL 60610, USA. By using the site, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Use of the site
You may use this site for personal, non-commercial purposes and to inquire about our recipe packs and masterclasses. That covers reading the guides, comparing styles, and contacting us about a class. It does not cover building your own product on top of our text.
You agree not to misuse the site, interfere with its operation, attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of it, or use automated tools to copy content at scale. If you want to reference a recipe in a school project, a review, or a cooking group, ask us first and we will tell you what is reasonable.
Questions about what counts as permitted use can go to the address and phone listed further down this page.
Recipe content and intellectual property
The recipes, guides, and other text on this site are owned by Acf-P Pizza Academy and are protected by copyright. That includes the wording, the order of steps, the explanatory notes, and the structure of each guide. It does not cover the general idea of making pizza at home, which belongs to everyone.
When you purchase a recipe pack, you receive a personal licence to use it for your own home cooking. You may cook from it as often as you like, adapt quantities to your own oven, and keep your copy. You may not resell, republish, or redistribute the content, in whole or in part, without written permission. Reposting a full recipe on a blog, a forum, or a social channel is redistribution, even when it is free to read.
If you teach, write, or run a small cooking group and would like to use part of a guide, write to us with what you plan to use and where it will appear. Permission is granted in writing or not at all.
What the personal licence allows
- Cooking from the pack for yourself, your household, and your guests.
- Adjusting hydration, timing, and toppings to suit your own kitchen.
- Keeping your downloaded copy for as long as you need it.
Reselling, republishing, or redistributing the text requires written permission from Acf-P Pizza Academy.
Masterclass bookings
Class inquiries are subject to confirmation of availability. Submitting an inquiry does not guarantee a place in a session. We will confirm availability and any applicable details before a booking is final, so treat an inquiry as the start of a conversation rather than a reservation.
Class dates, formats, and content may change. If something material changes for a booking you have already confirmed, we will tell you before the session date and give you the options that follow from it.
Inquiry stage
You send your preferred dates and group size. Nothing is charged and no place is held while we check the schedule.
Confirmation stage
We reply with availability and the session details. The booking becomes final only after you confirm those details with us.
Pricing and payment
Where prices are shown, they are stated at the time of the relevant offer. A price shown for a recipe pack or a class reflects that offer and that moment, not a standing rate that carries forward on its own.
Payment methods and terms are confirmed with you directly before a booking or purchase is finalized. We do not process card payments through this website, and no card details are collected on any page of it. If a payment method does not suit you, say so before confirming and we will explain what else is possible.
Any amount you see on this site is tied to a specific offer and is confirmed with you before money changes hands.
Cancellations
Cancellation and rescheduling terms for masterclasses are confirmed with you at the time of booking, because they can vary by session type and group size. A small hands-on session and a larger group booking do not carry the same notice period.
If you need to change a booking, contact us as early as possible so we can discuss the options. Reaching out a week ahead leaves room to move your place; the morning of the session usually does not.
Changing a session
Have your booking details and the dates that would work instead ready before you call or write. That is usually the difference between rescheduling the same week and losing the slot.

Disclaimers
The recipes and instruction on this site are provided for general informational purposes. They describe methods that work on the equipment we use, and they explain why each step matters, but they are not a substitute for your own judgment in your own kitchen.
Cooking involves heat, sharp tools, and allergens, and results depend on your equipment, ingredients, and technique. Home ovens differ in top heat, recovery time, and how evenly they hold a temperature. Flour absorbs water differently from season to season. We do not warrant any specific outcome from following a recipe or attending a class.
You are responsible for safe food handling in your own kitchen, including refrigeration of dough, storage of ingredients, and checking for allergens before you serve anyone. If you have a food allergy or a dietary restriction, review every ingredient list yourself before you cook.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, Acf-P Pizza Academy is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content. That includes lost ingredients, wasted time, damaged equipment, or a bake that did not turn out as you expected.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law. Where the law in your jurisdiction sets a floor on what a business may limit, that floor applies to these terms as well.
Third-party links
The site may link to third-party websites, for example when we point to a supplier, a piece of equipment, or background reading. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Following an external link is at your own discretion, and their terms will apply once you leave ours.
Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms of Service from time to time, usually because a class format, a payment arrangement, or a legal requirement has changed. The current version is posted on this page, and the effective date will be updated when material changes are made. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the site.
Questions about these terms
Questions about these Terms of Service, a recipe licence, or a booking can be sent to Acf-P Pizza Academy at the studio address, or by phone during working hours. We answer the straightforward ones the same working day where we can, and the ones that need checking against a booking take a little longer.
If you are asking about something you have already bought or booked, include the details of that purchase or session so we can find it without a round of questions.
