2. Purpose of the Website
Cozy Crochet provides free crochet patterns, tutorials, crafting tips, project inspiration, and related educational content.
We aim to make crochet information accessible and enjoyable. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, error-free instructions, or identical results for every user.
Access to free content does not mean that every item or service linked from the Website is free or supplied by us.

Subject to applicable law, you may:

4. Intellectual Property Rights
Unless otherwise indicated, the original content on the Website, including written articles, pattern descriptions, instructions, photographs, illustrations, graphics, branding, and website design, is owned by the Website operator or used with permission or another lawful basis.
The content is protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
Accessing the Website does not transfer ownership of any intellectual property to you.
A. Free Patterns
The term “free” means that readers can access the relevant pattern without paying us for access, unless a particular page clearly states otherwise.
It does not automatically mean that the pattern, article, photographs, diagrams, or other content is in the public domain or may be freely copied and redistributed.
Subject to applicable law and any specific license, you may follow our free patterns to make finished items for personal use.
B. Copying and Republishing
Without our prior written permission, you may not:

Limited quotations, properly attributed references, and other uses permitted by applicable copyright law remain subject to those legal exceptions.
C. Sharing on Pinterest and Social Media
We welcome readers sharing our content through links to the original article.
Where possible, link directly to the relevant page on https://cozyhomebuzz.com rather than copying the complete pattern or uploading our original photographs without permission.
If you wish to reproduce our photographs, diagrams, or written instructions, please request permission first unless the intended use is clearly permitted by an applicable license or law.
D. Finished Items Made From Our Patterns
Unless a specific pattern states otherwise, these Terms do not automatically prohibit you from making a physical item by following a free pattern.
However, permission to make a finished item does not grant permission to copy or republish our protected text, photographs, diagrams, or other content.
The legal treatment of patterns and finished items may vary depending on the nature of the material and applicable law.

By submitting content, you confirm that you have the necessary rights to submit it and that doing so does not unlawfully infringe another person’s rights.
You retain any rights you hold in your original submissions. However, where you voluntarily submit content for publication, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free permission to host, display, reproduce, and moderate that content for operating and promoting the relevant Website feature, to the extent permitted by law and consistent with your reasonable expectations.
This permission does not transfer ownership of your content to us.
We may review, moderate, refuse, or remove submissions at our discretion, subject to applicable law. We are not required to publish every submission.
Do not include confidential information or personal information you do not wish to make public in a public comment.
7. Accuracy and Availability of Content
We make reasonable efforts to publish useful and accurate crochet content. Nevertheless, errors, omissions, broken links, outdated information, or technical problems may occur.
We may modify, suspend, remove, or discontinue any part of the Website or its content without prior notice where reasonably necessary.
We do not guarantee that the Website will always be available, uninterrupted, secure, or free from technical errors.
Nothing in these Terms removes any legal obligation that cannot lawfully be excluded.
8. No Guarantee of Project Results
Crochet results vary according to yarn, hook size, tension, individual technique, experience, and other factors.
We do not guarantee that your finished project will match a photograph or stated measurement exactly.
You are responsible for choosing suitable materials and following appropriate safety precautions.
Additional information is provided in our Disclaimer.
9. Third-Party Links and Services
The Website may link to external websites, social media services, videos, manufacturers, or other third-party resources.
These resources are provided for convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for their content, availability, privacy practices, security, or terms.
Your interactions with third parties are governed by their own applicable terms and policies.
10. Advertising and Affiliate Links
The Website may display advertisements or contain affiliate links if these features are introduced.
Where an affiliate relationship exists, we will provide disclosures where required by law. Clicking a link may take you to an external website with its own terms, prices, and privacy practices.
We do not guarantee the availability, quality, price, or suitability of any third-party product.
This section does not imply that advertising or affiliate relationships are currently active.
11. Privacy and Cookies
Your use of the Website is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how personal information may be collected and processed.
Where cookies or similar technologies require consent, we will provide appropriate information and controls as required by applicable law.
These Terms do not replace the Privacy Policy or any legally required cookie notice.
12. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
We do not make any guarantee that the Website or its content will be accurate, complete, uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or suitable for every purpose.
Nothing in these Terms excludes any warranty or right that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.
13. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Website.
This provision does not exclude or limit liability where prohibited by law, including liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, or mandatory rights available to consumers.
Nothing in these Terms affects any rights that applicable law requires us to preserve.
14. Indemnification
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you are responsible for losses or reasonable costs arising from your unlawful misuse of the Website, your infringement of third-party rights, or your material breach of these Terms.
Nothing in this section imposes liability where applicable law prohibits it.
15. Suspension or Restriction of Access
We may restrict or suspend access to Website features where reasonably necessary to address security threats, abuse, unlawful activity, or material violations of these Terms.
Where appropriate and lawful, we may remove harmful submissions or take steps to protect the Website and its users.
16. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms to reflect changes in the Website, our practices, or applicable law.
The updated Terms will be published on this page with a revised “Last Updated” date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent.
Your continued use of the Website after an update does not override any legal rights or consent requirements that apply to you.
17. Governing Law
These Terms are subject to the mandatory laws applicable to the Website operator and the Website user.
Nothing in these Terms deprives a consumer of mandatory protections or a competent court of jurisdiction where applicable law prevents such a restriction.
18. Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.
Any invalid provision will be interpreted or limited to the minimum extent necessary where legally permitted.
19. No Waiver
Failure to enforce a provision of these Terms does not automatically constitute a waiver of the right to enforce that provision later.
20. Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, Disclaimer, and other applicable notices published on the Website, govern your use of the relevant Website features, subject to mandatory law.
If a specific pattern or feature contains additional terms, those terms apply to that content to the extent they are lawful and applicable.
