terms of service

Welcome to Jarful Of Knots. We're delighted to have you here. Please take a moment to read these Terms of Service carefully before purchasing our crochet patterns and digital files. By using our website and buying a pattern, you agree to be bound by these terms.

1. General Conditions

This website is operated by Jarful Of Knots. Throughout the site, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Jarful Of Knots. Jarful Of Knots offers this website, including all information, tools and services available from this site to you, the user, conditioned upon your acceptance of all terms, conditions, policies and notices stated here.

By agreeing to these Terms of Service, you confirm you are at least the age of majority in your state or province of residence, or that you are the age of majority in your state or province of residence and you've given us your consent to allow any of your minor dependents to use this site.

You may not use our patterns for any illegal or unauthorized purpose. Also, in using our service, you must not violate any laws in your jurisdiction (including, but not limited to, copyright laws).

We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time.

2. Digital Products (crochet patterns, display tags, files)

Our shop primarily sells digital crochet patterns and display tags. These are downloadable files (usually PDFs) that provide instructions for creating crocheted items. No physical product will be shipped to you.

We make every effort to describe our patterns accurately, including skill level, materials needed, and finished dimensions. We cannot guarantee that all details will perfectly match your individual results, as crochet is a craft that depends on individual tension and technique.

All pattern descriptions and pricing are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any pattern at any time.

3. Pricing & Payments

All prices are listed in USD and are subject to change without notice. We accept payments through Paypal, Venmo, Cashapp, Square, and most major credit cards. You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information for all purchases made at our shop.

4. Downloads & Access

Upon successful payment, you'll receive a link to download your purchased pattern(s). This link is typically provided on the order confirmation page and sent to the email address you provided. It is your responsibility to download and save your pattern(s) promptly. We are not responsible for lost files once they have been successfully downloaded.

5. Refunds & Exchanges for Digital Products

Due to the digital nature of our patterns, all sales are final and non-refundable. Once a digital pattern has been downloaded or the download link has been provided, it cannot be returned.

If you encounter an issue with your download (e.g., a corrupted file or incorrect pattern sent), please contact us at jarfulofknots@gmail.com within 7 days of purchase, and we will do our best to resolve the issue. Find out more about our refund policy.
