Terms of Service

Welcome to Crochetify. By creating an account or using the service you agree to these terms. Please read them carefully.

Your account

You're responsible for your account, the products you list, and the content you upload. You must own or have the right to sell everything you offer, including any patterns and photos. Don't use Crochetify for anything illegal or to infringe someone else's rights.

Subscriptions and fees

Crochetify is offered as a paid monthly subscription per store. Your store's checkout stays off until your subscription is active. Crochetify takes 0% of your sales; payment processing fees are charged by Stripe directly. You can cancel anytime from your dashboard.

Payments and payouts

Sales are processed through Stripe Connect and paid out to your connected Stripe account. You're responsible for fulfilling orders, honoring your stated policies, and handling customer support, refunds, and any taxes you owe. Crochetify's Return and Refund Policy sets the minimum terms for purchases delivered in the United States. You may offer more flexible terms, but not less.

Content and conduct

You retain ownership of your content. You grant Crochetify a limited license to host and display it so we can run your store. We may remove content or suspend stores that violate these terms.

Marketplace and promotional placement

Your Crochetify website is yours to run on any plan. The Crochetify marketplace, the shops list, the pattern catalog, the Crochetify app, and any other place Crochetify features or promotes makers are curated. To appear in them, you apply from your dashboard and Crochetify reviews your shop.

Crochetify may approve, reject, restrict, or revoke a shop's place in the marketplace and in promotional placements at its discretion. Approval is not guaranteed, and approval for the marketplace does not guarantee a featured or promotional placement, which Crochetify chooses separately. When we reject an application or revoke an approval, we tell you why and you can apply again after making changes.

Your website does not depend on marketplace approval. A pending, rejected, or revoked application does not close your shop, stop your checkout, or change your subscription.

Original work, rights, and prohibited goods

You may only upload, list, or sell products and content that you created, own, or are authorized to use and sell. You may not list or sell plagiarized or unauthorized copies of patterns, photos, descriptions, branding, or other creator content; anything that infringes a copyright, trademark, or other intellectual-property right; stolen or counterfeit goods; or mass-produced, wholesale, or dropshipped goods presented as handmade or as your own work. You may not make false claims about a product's maker, source, materials, or authenticity.

Crochetify may ask you for evidence that you have the right to use or sell something, such as an original photo, a pattern license, or proof of purchase, and may act under these terms if you do not provide it.

Suspension and termination

Crochetify may remove content, restrict marketplace access, suspend a storefront, or terminate an account when we reasonably believe it is necessary to enforce these terms or our other policies; to address fraud, abuse, chargebacks, or payment risk; to protect shoppers, creators, Crochetify, or third parties; to respond to an intellectual-property or other legal complaint; to address a security or platform-integrity risk; or to comply with the law or a valid legal request.

We may act without advance notice for urgent, severe, deliberate, or repeated violations. When practical, we give notice and a chance to respond first.

Suspension or termination does not remove your responsibility for existing orders, refunds, disputes, fees, or other outstanding obligations.

AI-generated images

Your Crochetify website is yours. You can use AI-generated images on it if you choose.

The Crochetify marketplace, the shops list, and anywhere Crochetify features or promotes makers are different. Shoppers come to those places trusting that every photo shows a real piece made by a real person. So a shop is not eligible for them while any product image on the shop is fully or partly AI-generated. This includes product photos, collection images, and banner or hero photos of your work. Generated backgrounds, generated models or props, generative fill, and generated or replaced product details all count.

Ordinary editing of a real photo is fine: cropping, resizing, fixing exposure and colour, reducing noise, removing a background. The test is simple. The image must show the item you made, as the customer will receive it.

If we find AI-generated product images on a shop in the marketplace, we will tell you why and remove the shop from the marketplace and from promotion. Your website keeps working. Take the images down and ask us to look again, and we will.

Crochetify is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the extent permitted by law, we're not liable for indirect or incidental damages arising from your use of the service.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated terms. Questions? Contact us at the email on our site.
