Terms of Use

1. Agreement to these terms

These Terms of Use (the "Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Weekend Workshop ("we", "us", "our") about your use of the website Weekend Workshop at [WEBSITE ADDRESS] and the content, guides, patterns, downloads and digital products we provide through it (together, the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, Disclaimer and Affiliate Disclosure. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

You must be at least 18 years old, or have the consent of a parent or guardian, to buy products from the Site. The Site is intended for adults.

2. Information only: no professional advice

The Site offers general information and creative ideas about wood burning (pyrography) and related crafts. It is provided for education and inspiration only. It is not professional, safety, medical, electrical, fire-protection, legal or financial advice, and it does not replace the instructions that come with your tools, materials and finishes. See our Disclaimer for more detail.

3. Safety and assumption of risk

Wood burning involves very hot tools, electricity, smoke and fumes, flammable materials and sharp tools. You are solely responsible for deciding whether an activity is suitable for you and for taking appropriate precautions. You agree to read and follow the manufacturer's instructions for every tool, material and finish you use; to work in a ventilated space with a suitable stand and safety equipment; to use only appropriate, untreated wood; to supervise children closely; and to stop if a tool seems faulty. To the fullest extent the law allows, you take part in any craft activity described on the Site at your own risk.

4. Our content and intellectual property

The Site and its contents, including text, guides, articles, pattern designs, PDFs, layouts, logos, graphics and software, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trade mark and other laws. Except where we expressly say otherwise, all rights are reserved. Photographic imagery on the Site may be AI-generated and is used for illustration.

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to view the Site and to download and print our free and purchased materials for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, sell, sub-license or distribute our content, or create derivative works from it, without our prior written permission, except as permitted in the Pattern Licence.

5. Patterns and digital products

Our patterns, ebooks and other digital downloads are licensed, not sold. Your rights to use them are set out in the Pattern Licence and in any licence terms that come with the product. Digital products are delivered electronically, usually by a download link sent to the email address you provide or displayed after checkout. You are responsible for providing a correct email address and for storing your downloads safely.

Prices, taxes and payment processing are handled at checkout by our payment platform, which may be the merchant of record for your purchase and whose terms and privacy policy also apply. Refunds are governed by our Refund Policy.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• use the Site unlawfully or in a way that infringes anyone's rights;
• copy, scrape, harvest or republish our content at scale, or use it to train artificial-intelligence models, without our written permission;
• share, resell or redistribute purchased or free downloads;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Site, its servers or any account, or interfere with its operation, security or performance;
• introduce viruses or other harmful code;
• submit false, misleading, defamatory or unlawful content through any form; or
• use the Site to send unsolicited commercial messages.

We may suspend or restrict access if we reasonably believe you have breached these Terms.

7. Messages you send us

If you send us a message, feedback or suggestion, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to use it to operate and improve the Site, without any obligation to you. You confirm that you have the right to send it, and that it does not infringe anyone's rights. We do not publish your messages or personal information without your permission.

8. Affiliate links and third-party sites

Some links on the Site are affiliate links. If you buy through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. See our Affiliate Disclosure. The Site also links to third-party websites and services. We do not control them, we do not endorse everything they contain, and we are not responsible for their content, availability, prices, products or policies. Any purchase from a third party is a contract between you and that third party. Product details, prices and availability change, so always check the retailer's page before you buy.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and everything on it are provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we make no warranties or representations of any kind, express or implied, including about accuracy, completeness, reliability, availability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. We do not guarantee that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of harmful components, or that any guide, pattern or technique will give you any particular result. Craft results depend on your materials, tools, skill and care.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we, and our owners, contractors and affiliates, will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or opportunity, or for any injury, property damage or loss arising from your use of, or inability to use, the Site or from any craft activity you undertake, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such loss. Our total aggregate liability to you for all claims relating to the Site will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us for the relevant product in the twelve months before the claim arose and USD 100.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any statutory rights you have as a consumer. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you.

11. Indemnity

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless us and our owners, contractors and affiliates from claims, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Site or our content, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

12. Copyright complaints

We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe that content on the Site infringes your copyright, please email weekendworkshop@support.com with: your name and contact details; a description of the work you say has been infringed; the web address of the material; a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorised; and a statement, made under penalty of perjury where applicable, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorised to act for the owner. We may remove material and will respond in line with applicable law.

13. Changes to the Site and to these Terms

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site at any time, and we may update these Terms. The "last updated" date shows the latest version. If a change is material, we will take reasonable steps to tell you. By continuing to use the Site after a change, you accept the updated Terms. Changes do not affect products you bought before the change, unless the law allows or requires otherwise.

14. Termination

We may suspend or end your access to the Site at any time if you breach these Terms or if we need to for legal or security reasons. Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnity and governing law, will continue to apply.

15. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising from them or from your use of the Site are governed by the State of Louisiana, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to any mandatory consumer protections that give you the right to bring a claim in your home courts, the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Louisiana. Before starting formal proceedings, we encourage you to contact us at weekendworkshop@support.com so that we can try to resolve the matter informally.

16. General

These Terms, together with the policies they refer to, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site and replace any earlier understanding. If any provision is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of it. You may not assign these Terms without our consent, but we may assign ours. No third party has any right to enforce these Terms. Headings are for convenience only.
