1. What Needlevana is

Needlevana is a website for people who knit and make. It offers a community, a pattern library, a shop where members can share and sell patterns, and optional modules that you can subscribe to.

2. Your account

• You sign in without a password, using your email address or a Google account.
• You must be at least [MINIMUM AGE] years old to buy or sell. You tell us your birth year when you join.
• You are responsible for what happens under your account. Tell us if you think someone else has access.

3. Content and responsibility

• You own your patterns. When you upload content you give Needlevana permission to host it and show it as you choose (private, by link, or public).
• Sellers are responsible for their patterns. Needlevana provides the platform, hosting and payment handling. Needlevana is not the author, publisher or seller of the content that members submit, and does not check it for copyright. The seller is responsible for the content and for having the right to sell it.
• Translations are personal. A module that translates or converts a pattern (for example the pattern translation module) makes a personal copy for your own use. It does not give you the right to share, publish or sell a pattern that someone else wrote, in its original or translated form. Only list a translation for sale if you have the right to do so, and you will be asked to confirm that.
• Do not upload content that you do not have the right to share, that is unlawful, or that harms others.
• Rights holders can report a listing. See the takedown policy.

4. Buying and selling

Selling patterns is covered by the seller agreement. Refunds are covered by the refund policy. Prices include VAT where required.

5. Modules and subscriptions

Modules are subscribed to one by one, monthly or yearly, and can be cancelled at any time. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. If a payment fails you have a grace period before access is suspended; your data is kept.

6. Our responsibility

[LIABILITY AND WARRANTY TERMS, TO BE WRITTEN BY COUNSEL.] Tools such as the pattern translator and the mitten builder give estimates and suggestions. Check the results against your own swatch and judgement before you rely on them.

7. Changes and contact

We may change these terms. If a change is material we will ask you to accept the new version. Questions: [CONTACT EMAIL].
