Terms of Use

The agreement # (link to this section)

What these terms cover and when they apply.

These terms apply whenever you use odinaddi.com or buy something from it. By buying or using the site you're agreeing to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site - and if something here is the reason why, tell me, because I'd genuinely like to know.

"Odinaddi" and "I" mean Susanna, who runs this site and shop from Scotland, in the United Kingdom. "You" means whoever is using it. Two other pages form part of these terms: the Refunds page, which covers returns and refunds in detail, and the Privacy Policy, which covers what happens to your information. Nothing here is meant to remove rights you have under UK consumer law - where they conflict, your statutory rights win.

Buying # (link to this section)

How an order works, from the basket to your inbox.

• Prices are in pounds sterling and are what you pay for the item. Postage, if there is any, is added at checkout before you pay.
• You don't need an account. Checkout asks for your email address, which is where your receipt and any download links go.
• Payment is taken by Stripe. I never see your card details.
• Your order is confirmed once payment goes through and you see the confirmation page. That's when our agreement for that order is made.
• For a download, you're asked to agree that you want it straight away and understand that your 14-day right to cancel ends once it's available. That is the law for digital content, and it's explained fully on the Refunds page - along with the cases where I'll refund you anyway.

If I've made a mistake with a price or a description, I'll tell you before sending anything, and you can choose to go ahead or have a full refund.

Downloads & delivery # (link to this section)

What arrives, and how.

Downloads

Patterns and other digital products are ready to download as soon as your payment is confirmed, from the confirmation page and from the links in your receipt email. The links work on any device. If you lose them, email me and I'll send them again, free.

Posted orders

Physical items are posted from Scotland. Postage is charged at checkout:

• UK delivery: £7.50
• International delivery: £15.00

I'll post your order within a few working days and let you know if anything will take longer. Delivery times are estimates rather than promises, especially abroad. Orders sent outside the UK may be charged import duty or tax by the destination country; that's set by them, not me, and is paid by the person receiving the parcel.

If a parcel goes missing or arrives damaged, tell me and I'll put it right - see the Refunds page.

What you can do with patterns # (link to this section)

Generously interpreted. I want you to actually use what you buy.

When you buy a pattern you get a personal, non-exclusive licence to use it. You may:

• Stitch it as many times as you like, for yourself or as gifts.
• Print it for your own use.
• Adapt it - change colours, resize, combine motifs, work it in a different stitch. Do what makes it yours.
• Sell what you stitch from it - at markets, in a shop, online or as commissions. I just ask that you credit it as "Pattern by Odinaddi" where you reasonably can.
• Teach from it in person to a small group, as long as each person has their own copy.

What you can't do # (link to this section)

The short list, and the reasoning behind each one.

• Share, resell or give away the pattern files or PDFs. Pattern design is how I get paid.
• Re-upload patterns to another site, including pattern-sharing sites, file lockers, or as part of a bundle.
• Mass-produce from a pattern - factory or large-scale commercial production needs a separate licence. Ask me; I'm reasonable.
• Pass off a pattern, or my writing or photographs, as your own.
• Scrape, bulk-download or automate against the site, or use it to train a machine-learning model without my written permission.
• Try to get round the protection on paid downloads.

Everything on the site - the patterns, guides, photographs, illustrations, artwork and the design itself - belongs to Odinaddi and is protected by copyright. Buying a pattern gives you the licence above, not ownership of the design.

Original artwork # (link to this section)

One of a kind, made by hand.

Each original is a single, handmade piece. Being made by hand, it may differ in small ways from its photographs - that's part of what makes it an original, not a fault.

Because there's only one, the shop marks a piece as sold the moment it's bought. If two people manage to buy the same piece at almost the same moment, the second order is refunded in full straight away, with my apologies.

Buying an original gives you the piece itself. The copyright in the design stays with me, so please don't reproduce it as prints, patterns or products. Photographing it in your home and sharing that is, of course, absolutely fine.

Availability & changes # (link to this section)

An honest account of what a small studio can promise.

I work hard to keep Odinaddi up and working, but I can't promise it will never be unavailable. Occasionally I'll need to take it down for maintenance, and occasionally things break.

Products, prices and what's in stock can change at any time, but never after you've ordered - what you paid for is what you get.

I may update these terms. For material changes I'll update the date at the top of this page at least 14 days before they take effect. An order is always covered by the terms that applied when you placed it.

Liability # (link to this section)

What I'm responsible for, and what I can't be.

My patterns and guides are written in good faith and with care, but crafting involves sharp tools, and creative work involves your own judgement. You're responsible for working safely: mind the needles and scissors, take breaks, and stop if something hurts.

Stitching can be calming, but Odinaddi is a creative practice, not therapy, treatment, or a clinical service, and nothing here is a substitute for professional healthcare advice.

Nothing in these terms limits my liability for death or personal injury caused by my negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that can't be limited by law. Your statutory rights as a consumer are unaffected.

Beyond that, and to the extent the law allows, I'm not liable for indirect or consequential losses, for lost profits, or for loss of data you could reasonably have kept a copy of yourself. Where I am liable, my total liability is limited to what you've paid me in the twelve months before the claim.

Law & disputes # (link to this section)

I live in Scotland, so these terms are governed by Scots law, and the Scottish courts have jurisdiction. If you live elsewhere in the UK, you can bring proceedings in your own country's courts, and if you're a consumer elsewhere, you keep the mandatory protections of your home country's law.

Before anything reaches a court, please just talk to me at hello@odinaddi.com. Almost everything is solvable by two people having a sensible conversation.
