------------------------------------------------------------
1. Overview
------------------------------------------------------------
These Terms of Service govern your use of The Gingham Bow LLC website, products, and digital downloads. By purchasing from my shop, you agree to these terms. These policies protect my handmade work, digital designs, and the integrity of my small business.
------------------------------------------------------------
2. Online Store Terms
------------------------------------------------------------
• You must be at least 18 years old to make a purchase.
• You may not use my products for any illegal or unauthorized purpose.
• You agree not to reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, or exploit any part of the website or its content without written permission.
------------------------------------------------------------
3. Handmade Product Information
------------------------------------------------------------
All handmade items are created individually. Slight variations in color, texture, or size are normal and part of the handmade process. I do my best to represent items accurately through photos and descriptions.
------------------------------------------------------------
4. Digital Product Terms (Patterns)
------------------------------------------------------------
When you purchase a digital pattern, you are purchasing a license to use the pattern, not ownership of the design.
You may:
• Use the pattern for personal use
• Sell small-batch handmade items created from the pattern (credit appreciated)
You may NOT:
• Share, resell, or redistribute the pattern
• Use my photos for your listings
• Claim the pattern as your own
• Use the pattern for mass production or AI training
All digital pattern sales are final.
------------------------------------------------------------
5. Accuracy of Information
------------------------------------------------------------
I strive to keep product descriptions, pricing, and availability accurate. However:
• Prices may change without notice
• Products may be discontinued at any time
• I reserve the right to update or correct information if needed
------------------------------------------------------------
6. Billing & Account Information
------------------------------------------------------------
You agree to provide current, complete, and accurate purchase and account information. I reserve the right to refuse any order if I suspect fraud or misuse.
------------------------------------------------------------
7. Third-Party Tools & Services
------------------------------------------------------------
My shop may use third-party tools such as:
• Shopify
• Google & YouTube
• Pinterest
• Instagram/Facebook
• Payment processors (Shopify Payments, PayPal, etc.)
These services have their own terms and privacy policies. I am not responsible for issues arising from third-party platforms.
------------------------------------------------------------
8. Shipping & Delivery
------------------------------------------------------------
Shipping times vary depending on location and carrier. Once an item is shipped, delays caused by the carrier are outside my control.
A separate Shipping Policy is available upon request.
------------------------------------------------------------

This section summarizes my full Refund Policy:
Digital Items:
