Terms of Service
Welcome to Thimbles & Tales, a cozy corner for patterns, books, and creative community. These Terms of Service explain the basic rules for using our website, shop, and community spaces.
By visiting our site, placing an order, joining our email list, or participating in our community, you agree to these terms. Please read them carefully. If you do not agree, you may choose not to use the site.
Community & Kindness Guidelines
Thimbles & Tales is built on kindness, imagination, and respect. When you interact with our site or community (including comments, groups, or messages), you agree to:
• Be kind and respectful to others.
• Avoid harassment, hate speech, or harmful behavior.
• Not share content that is illegal, offensive, or violates someone else’s rights.
We may moderate, remove content, or limit access if behavior does not align with these values or these terms.
Patterns, Books & Intellectual Property
All patterns, tutorials, designs, artwork, photos, and written content on this site are the intellectual property of Thimbles & Tales or our licensors, unless otherwise noted.
When you purchase a pattern or book from us, you receive a personal license to use it for your own enjoyment and, where allowed, for small handmade sales. You agree not to:
• Resell, share, or distribute the digital files themselves.
• Claim our designs or content as your own.
• Mass-produce items using our patterns without written permission.
If you’re unsure what’s allowed, please reach out and ask—we’re happy to clarify.
Orders, Downloads, Refunds & Liability
When you place an order with Thimbles & Tales, you agree that:
• You are providing accurate payment and contact information.
• You understand that digital patterns are typically delivered by download and are generally non-refundable once accessed.
• Physical items (like books or printed goods) may have their own shipping and return policies, which will be explained at checkout or in a separate policy.
We do our best to describe products clearly, pack them with care, and deliver them promptly. If there is an issue with your order, please contact us so we can try to make it right.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, Thimbles & Tales is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages that arise from using our site, products, or services. Our total liability for any claim related to your use of the site or a purchase is limited to the amount you paid for the product or service involved.
Governing Law
These Terms of Service are governed by the laws of the region where Thimbles & Tales is based, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. If you have questions about how this applies to you, please consider speaking with a legal professional in your area.
