These Terms of Service govern your use of sphippen and its services. By accessing and using our website, workshops, and related services, you agree to be bound by these terms and all applicable laws and regulations. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you are not permitted to use our services. We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time, and your continued use of our services following any changes constitutes your acceptance of the new terms. We recommend reviewing this page periodically to stay informed of any updates. Your use of our platform indicates your understanding and acceptance of all conditions outlined herein.

User Obligations and Responsibilities

Users agree to use our services responsibly and in accordance with all applicable laws. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any account information and for all activities that occur under your account. You agree not to engage in any conduct that disrupts, interferes with, or damages our services or the experience of other users. This includes, but is not limited to, unauthorized access, reproduction, modification, or distribution of content. You warrant that all information provided during registration and workshop participation is accurate and truthful. We expect all participants to respect our facilities, instructors, and fellow workshop attendees. Any violation of these obligations may result in immediate termination of your access to our services.

Intellectual Property Rights

All content on our website, including but not limited to text, images, patterns, designs, photographs, and instructional materials related to Lithuanian folk textile patterns, is the intellectual property of our organization or licensed partners. You may not reproduce, distribute, transmit, display, or perform any of this content without our express written permission. We encourage learning and personal use of patterns taught in our workshops for non-commercial purposes only. However, commercial use, mass production, or sale of items created directly from our proprietary designs is strictly prohibited without explicit authorization. We protect our unique textile patterns and workshop methodologies as valuable intellectual property. Unauthorized use may result in legal action and financial penalties.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of our services, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. This includes liability for lost profits, data loss, or personal injury sustained during workshops. Our total liability to you for any claims arising from these terms shall not exceed the amount paid by you for services within the twelve months preceding the claim. We provide our services and facilities on an "as-is" basis. We do not warrant that our services will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that defects will be corrected. By participating in our workshops, you acknowledge the inherent risks involved in crafting activities and assume full responsibility for your safety and wellbeing.

Termination and Access Restrictions

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to our services, workshops, and website at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Reasons for termination may include violation of these terms, disruptive behavior, or non-payment of fees. Upon termination, all rights granted to you under these terms will immediately cease, and you must stop using our services. Any outstanding fees or obligations remain due. We may also restrict access to specific users or IP addresses if we detect fraudulent activity or policy violations. If your access is terminated, you may appeal through our standard dispute resolution process. Termination will not relieve you of any obligations or liabilities incurred prior to the effective date of termination. We retain the right to maintain records of terminated accounts for legal and administrative purposes.

We may update these Terms of Service from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or operational practices. Such updates will be posted on this page with the revised "last updated" date. We encourage you to review these terms regularly to remain informed of any modifications. Your continued use of our services following the posting of revised terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you have questions about these terms or our policies, we welcome your inquiry through our standard communication channels.
