Terms of Service — The Cross Stitch Pattern Maker

Last updated: 15 November 2026

These terms apply to thecrossstitchpatternmaker.com (“the site”, “we”). By using the site you accept them.

The service

The site turns images you choose into cross stitch patterns, in your browser. The free plan and Pro are described on the pricing page. Color matches, sizes and skein counts are estimates; check them before buying materials.

Your images and your patterns

• Use only images you have the right to use: your own photos and drawings, or images whose owner or licence allows it.
• Patterns you make from your own images are yours. You may print, share and sell them, on every plan, including free. You do not need to credit us. Free PDFs carry one footer line with our site name; you may sell them with it, or remove it with Pro.
• Selling patterns made from someone else’s photo, artwork, characters or logos needs their permission. That responsibility is yours.

Accounts and payments

• An account is only needed for Pro. It is created from the email you give at checkout; you sign in with an email link (or Google, when offered).
• Pro passes are one-time payments for 30 days, 1 year or lifetime. They do not renew. “Lifetime” means for as long as we run the site.
• You pay on Stripe’s payment page or, in some countries, with PayPal. Card payments are processed by Stripe, and some of them are sold through Link, Stripe’s payment service, as the seller of record; your receipt shows who sold the purchase. Purchases paid with PayPal are sold by us, and PayPal processes the payment. We never see your card details.
• Refunds within 14 days: see the refund policy.
• Don’t share accounts, resell Pro, attack or overload the site, or use it for anything unlawful. We may close accounts that do; for a paid pass closed this way we refund the unused part unless the closure follows fraud or a chargeback.

Liability

The site is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses, and our total liability is limited to what you paid us in the last 12 months.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date above shows the last change. Questions: support@thecrossstitchpatternmaker.com.
