Crochet A to Z is free to use and is supported by advertising. We display ads served by Google AdSense and may work with other advertising partners. Ads are clearly separated from our content, and we do not control or endorse the products or services they promote.

Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this Website and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on those visits.

6. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

Content accuracy

We work hard to test our patterns and keep our tutorials accurate, but all content is provided on an as-is and as-available basis, without warranties of any kind. Results depend on your yarn, hook, tension and skill, so your finished project may differ from our photos. Yarn colors may also look different on different screens.

Safety

Crochet involves sharp tools and small parts. Items for babies and young children, such as amigurumi and toys, should not include buttons, beads or safety eyes that could become a choking hazard. Always check finished items carefully before giving them to a child, and use them under adult supervision.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Crochet A to Z is not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage arising from your use of the Website, its content, or any external website or advertisement linked from it.

8. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time, for example to reflect changes in the law or in Google’s policies. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new last updated date at the top. Continued use of the Website after changes means you accept the revised terms.
