These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of maplehookcrochet.com (the “Site”), operated by MapleHookCrochet (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By browsing or otherwise using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Site.
These terms of service are written in plain language on purpose, so you know exactly what you’re agreeing to before you buy a pattern or browse this Site.
Contents
1. About This Site
MapleHookCrochet is an informational and portfolio site for our crochet and knitting pattern business. All pattern purchases, payments, downloads, and order support take place on Etsy through our MapleHookCrochet Etsy shop, which operates under its own terms of service and buyer protections. This Site does not process payments, store payment details, or fulfill orders directly.
2. Intellectual Property
All text, photography, graphics, and pattern previews published on this Site are the property of MapleHookCrochet, unless otherwise credited, and are protected by copyright and other applicable intellectual property laws. No content from this Site may be copied, reproduced, distributed, or republished without our prior written permission.
2.1 License to Use Purchased Patterns
Patterns purchased through our Etsy shop are licensed for personal, non-commercial use of the written instructions, subject to the terms noted on each individual Etsy listing.
2.2 Selling Items Made From Our Patterns
You are welcome to sell finished items you make using our patterns. We simply ask that you do not resell, redistribute, or republish the pattern instructions themselves, and that you credit MapleHookCrochet as the pattern designer whenever practical — for example, in a shop listing or social media post.
3. Acceptable Use
When using this Site, you agree that you will not:
- Copy, scrape, or redistribute pattern content or Site material without our permission
- Use the contact form to send spam, unsolicited advertising, or malicious links
- Attempt to disrupt, overload, or interfere with the Site’s normal operation
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any part of the Site or its underlying systems
- Misrepresent your identity or impersonate MapleHookCrochet
4. Third-Party Links and Services
This Site contains links to Etsy and other third-party websites for your convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of any third-party site you access through a link from here. Visiting a linked site is at your own discretion and risk.
5. Disclaimer of Warranties
This Site and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. While we make reasonable efforts to keep information accurate and the Site running smoothly, we make no warranties or guarantees — express or implied — that the Site will be error-free, secure, or uninterrupted, or that its content is complete or current.
6. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, MapleHookCrochet shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of or related to your use of, or inability to use, this Site. Nothing in these Terms limits any statutory rights you may have as a consumer, or any protections provided through your purchase on Etsy.
7. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold MapleHookCrochet harmless from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your violation of these Terms or misuse of the Site.
8. Governing Law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with applicable local law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the Site will be handled in accordance with that governing law.
9. Changes to These Terms
