Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service govern your use of koppelgrat and its services. By accessing and using our website, you agree to be bound by these terms and all applicable laws and regulations. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, and your continued use of our platform constitutes acceptance of any changes. If you do not agree with any portion of these terms, you are not authorized to use our services. We encourage you to review this document regularly to stay informed of any updates. Your access to our website is conditional upon your full compliance with all provisions outlined herein. We provide educational content and information about knitting, crochet, and traditional Latvian textile crafts for informational purposes only.

User Obligations and Conduct

Users agree to use our website only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe upon the rights of others or restrict their use and enjoyment of our services. Prohibited behavior includes harassment, unlawful conduct, and activities that may damage or impair the functionality of our platform. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. We are not responsible for unauthorized access to your account resulting from your failure to protect your login information. You agree not to engage in any conduct that could disrupt or negatively affect our services or user experience. All content you submit must be original or properly licensed. You retain ownership of content you create, but grant us the right to use it for service improvement and educational purposes related to textile crafts and knitting instruction.

Intellectual Property Rights

All content on our website, including text, graphics, patterns, photographs, videos, and other materials, is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. We own or have licensed all materials presented on our platform, including educational content about Latvian mitten patterns, rūkdarbi workshops, and textile heritage information. You may not reproduce, distribute, transmit, or modify any content without our explicit written permission. Knitting patterns and textile designs provided for educational purposes may be used for personal, non-commercial projects only. Commercial use, resale, or distribution of our patterns or content is strictly prohibited. You agree not to circumvent any technological protection measures or restrictions we place on our content. Attribution must be provided when using our educational materials in accordance with applicable fair use principles. We respect the intellectual property rights of traditional Latvian textile craftspeople and preserve these cultural works responsibly.

Limitation of Liability

Our website and services are provided on an "as-is" and "as-available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any information, including knitting instructions, crochet techniques, or pattern guidance. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use our services. This includes damages related to projects completed using our patterns or educational materials. We are not responsible for errors in patterns, injuries during crafting activities, or quality of finished textile projects. Your reliance on any information provided is solely at your own risk. We make no representation regarding the suitability of our content for your specific needs or skill level. Some jurisdictions do not allow limitation of liability, so this restriction may not apply to you in all circumstances.

Termination of Service

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to our website at any time, with or without cause and with or without notice. Grounds for termination include violation of these terms, unauthorized use of our services, or engagement in unlawful conduct. Upon termination, your right to access and use our services ceases immediately. We may also discontinue or modify features, content, or services at our discretion. Termination does not relieve you of any obligations incurred prior to discontinuation. Any provisions that logically should survive termination, including intellectual property rights and limitation of liability, shall remain in effect. We are not responsible for any loss of data, content, or access resulting from account termination. If we terminate your access, you may not attempt to create a new account or circumvent the termination through alternative means. Our decision to enforce any provision is not a waiver of that provision or any other provision of these terms.
