1. Your role

You offer your patterns for sale through Needlevana. For payment and VAT purposes Needlevana collects the buyer's payment, issues the receipt and pays you out minus its fees. You remain responsible for your pattern.

2. Your promises

• The pattern is your own original work, or you have written permission to sell it.
• It does not infringe anyone's copyright or other rights.
• You choose the licence terms buyers receive (personal use, small-batch selling of finished items, or custom text) and they are accurate.
• If the pattern was created with AI assistance, you let the listing say so.

• Translations and adaptations. A translation, conversion or adaptation of someone else's pattern is still their work. You may sell it only if you have their permission or another right to do so.

3. Fees

Needlevana charges a percentage of the price excluding VAT, with a minimum fee per sale: [PERCENTAGE] and [MINIMUM FEE]. There is no listing fee. Sharing a pattern for free carries no fee. The payment provider's fee is deducted using the estimate shown in the fee preview. You see the exact breakdown before you publish.

4. Payouts and refunds

Payouts are made through our payment provider after the sale has settled. If a refund or chargeback happens, the payout is reversed or adjusted. See the refund policy.

5. Reports and removal

If a rights holder reports a listing, it may be hidden while we review it. You can reply with a counter-notice. Repeated confirmed infringements lead to loss of selling privileges. See the takedown policy.

6. Responsibility

Needlevana is an intermediary. You are responsible for your content and its copyright status, and you will compensate Needlevana for claims caused by your listings: [INDEMNITY TERMS, TO BE WRITTEN BY COUNSEL].
