Terms & Conditions

These Terms & Conditions govern access to and use of Pattern Crochet, a public blog that publishes articles about crochet patterns, techniques, materials, and related topics. By using the website, you agree to these terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, do not continue to use the website.

Permitted use

You may browse public pages, save normal links, and use articles for personal informational purposes subject to these terms, any notice on an individual article, and applicable law. Pattern Crochet does not grant ownership of website content or a general license to republish it.

Crochet articles and results

Patterns and guidance are general information. Yarn, hook, gauge, tension, substitutions, terminology, skill, and workmanship can change the result. You are responsible for checking measurements, material labels, suitability, safety, and any pattern-specific permission before starting or sharing a project. Read the Disclaimer for additional limits.

Acceptable use

You must not:

• use the website for unlawful, deceptive, abusive, or harmful activity;
• attempt to bypass security, disrupt service, introduce malicious code, or obtain unauthorized access;
• impersonate Pattern Crochet, an author, or another person;
• remove rights notices or falsely claim ownership of content;
• republish, sell, or distribute protected material without permission or another lawful basis; or
• use automated access in a way that creates unreasonable load, circumvents controls, or builds an unauthorized competing content collection.

Intellectual property

Website material may be protected by copyright, trademark, and other rights belonging to Pattern Crochet or identified third parties. The Copyright page explains general permissions and restrictions. Copyright concerns may be submitted through the DMCA Policy.

External links and advertising

The website may contain links to third-party destinations and may display advertising, including Google AdSense if enabled. Pattern Crochet does not control third-party content, availability, products, services, terms, or privacy practices. A link or advertisement is not a guarantee or endorsement. Your dealings with a third party are between you and that third party.

Privacy

The Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, and, where applicable, GDPR Policy explain how visitor information and choices are handled.

Availability, warranties, and liability

The website may change, contain errors, or be unavailable without notice. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it is provided on an as-available basis without warranties that cannot reasonably be given for a public informational blog.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Pattern Crochet is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar losses arising solely from use of the website, reliance on an article, interruption of access, or use of a third-party destination. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability, rights, or remedies that applicable law does not allow to be excluded or limited.

Changes to these terms

These terms may be updated when the website, its practices, or applicable requirements change. The date shown at the top of this page identifies the latest published revision. Continued use after publication of a revision means the revised terms apply from that point to the extent permitted by law.

Severability and applicable law

If a provision is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue to the extent they can operate independently. These terms are governed by the laws that apply to the website operator and the visitor, without removing any mandatory consumer protection or other nonwaivable right.
