Welcome to orized.com. These Terms and Conditions govern your use of the site. By browsing or using Orized, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
1. About Orized
Orized is run by Amanda, an independent maker based in the United States, and publishes free crochet patterns and articles, with a focus on baby crochet.
2. Use of Content
The patterns, photos, and articles on Orized are for personal, non-commercial use. You’re welcome to:
- Follow a pattern to make items for yourself, as gifts, or to sell in small quantities as handmade goods.
- Share a link to a pattern page with others.
You may not:
- Republish, copy, or redistribute Orized’s patterns or written content, in whole or in part, as your own or on another website.
- Use Orized’s photos or text for commercial purposes without written permission.
- Mass-produce items from these patterns for large-scale commercial sale without contacting us first.
3. No Guarantee of Results
Crochet patterns depend on individual skill, yarn choice, tension, and technique, all of which vary from person to person. We do our best to write clear, accurate patterns, but we can’t guarantee a specific outcome, fit, or result. If something in a pattern seems unclear or incorrect, reach out — we’re glad to help troubleshoot.
4. Baby and Children’s Items
Some patterns on Orized are designed for babies and young children. Handmade items — buttons, small embellishments, ties, or loose fibers — can pose a safety risk to infants if not checked regularly. It’s the maker’s responsibility to inspect finished pieces for secure fastenings and to supervise use around babies, particularly with any small or decorative parts.
5. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise noted, the patterns, photos, and written content on Orized are Amanda’s original work and are protected by copyright. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved.
6. Links to Other Sites
Orized may link to other websites — yarn suppliers, craft communities, or related resources. We don’t control these sites and aren’t responsible for their content or practices. Visiting them is at your own discretion.
7. Limitation of Liability
Orized’s content is provided for informational and creative purposes. We aren’t liable for any loss, damage, or injury arising from the use of our patterns, articles, or the items made from them, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
8. Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time to reflect changes to the site or our practices. The current version is always posted on this page, and continuing to use Orized after an update means you accept the revised Terms.
