Copyright Info for Crochet Cabana

All materials on this web site (photos and text) are the personal property of Sandra Petit and/or her heirs.

Copyright infringement is not a trivial matter. Anyone found in violation of the Copyright Laws may be charged up to $10,000 per violation. Violators could be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. This would not be a good day for you, so please obey copyright laws.

If you would like to make items using my patterns for charity you may make as many items as you wish to give, but do not include the pattern with the item. To repeat, the pattern itself is never to be given. You do not have to tag charity items.

If someone asks you to make an item from a pattern they (or you) saw on my web site, and they offer to pay you for making it, that is fine. That is called working on commission. You are making ONE item for ONE person and have a contractual agreement with them for it (whether oral or written). You do not need to ask permission from me to do this. I give this permission here. Do NOT include the pattern with the item.

If you want to sell more than one item you've made, for profit, using my designs, such as at a craft fair, please e-mail me first for permission. You will have to include a tag with the item that reads as follows: "Designed by Sandra Petit of http://www.crochetcabana.com/". They are never to be used in mass production of an item.

When you e-mail me for permission, you will need to let me know what items you are selling made from my designs and where you're selling them.

If you are given permission to sell completed items made using my designs on an online auction, web page, or other Internet source, please include the tag information in your description of the item on the web page in addition to including the above-mentioned physical tag with each item sold. In other words in the online description and on the physical item you will send to the buyer.

Ideas or techniques are not copyrighted. The pattern itself is copyrighted - this includes the instructions, the pictures, charts or whatever else is included in my particular version of the technique. My versions, I will admit, are usually quite unique. LOL

THANK YOU for showing respect for the time and effort I have spent putting this site together for you. I hope you find it useful.

Lastly, I am responsible only for making corrections to patterns if such are found. I am not responsible for replacing an item you made with my pattern that didn't come out as you wanted it to or any other problem you have with my patterns. If there is a problem, simply let me know and I will work with you to resolve the situation. I make no claim to perfection though I do honestly try to create patterns that are easy to understand and contain no errors.

Summarizing all of the above:
1) Do not ever sell photos, patterns, tutorials or anything else from this site.
2) Do not post in full to any web site, personal or business - this includes pdf files. Links are welcome.
3) Material is for personal or charity use only. For any other use, contact me.
4) If you want to make one item on commission, that is okay. Do not include the pattern.
5) If you want to make several items to sell, contact me. Never include the pattern with a sale. Always tag.
6) If you want to make multiple copies of a pattern or tutorial, contact me.
