Reaffirmation of Our Policy With Respect to Use of Our Designs

Dear Friends, Craftsman, Hobbyists and Users of our Patterns.

Those of you who are familiar with our products know that for many years we have been creating and supplying patterns for use by hobbyists and craftsmen. We do not knowingly sell to machine embroidery designers, digitizers or to the industry as a whole. Notwithstanding the fact that we have from time to time received offers to license our designs to commercial distributors.

All of our designs have been registered with the United States Copyright Office and the unauthorized copying, distribution or sale of our patterns to third parties is a violation
of the copyright laws of the United States.
  


WHAT YOU CAN DO

When you purchase a pattern from Classic Carving Pattern, or receive one of our "Freebies", the pattern is subject to certain restrictions reserved under our copyright. You have the right to use the pattern for your own personal use to make finished products for sale or personal use. A "finished product" is an article of manufacture on which the pattern is embodied. For example, it may be a hat, an apron, a blouse, a jacket or other product enhanced by our pattern design. A "finished product" is NOT a copy of the original pattern made for further distribution. You may display and sell your finished products on your web site to show how they have been enhanced. You may personally digitize the pattern to assist you in personally making multiple copies of finished products. 

WHAT YOU CANNOT DO

You cannot copy, reproduce, publish, distribute, redistribute, sell, barter, transfer or otherwise make available the pattern which you received from us or duplicates thereof to third parties. You cannot publish our patterns on your website (other than as embodied in a finished product) and represent them as your own. You cannot offer the patterns which you received from us for sale to third parties. You cannot sell or distribute digitized versions of our patterns to third parties, nor can you request third parties to digitize patterns for you.

SUMMARY

All patterns distributed by Classic Carving Patterns have been copyrighted under the copyright laws of the United States and are published with a copyright notice. These patterns are for the personal use of hobbyists and craftsman. When you receive a pattern from Classic Carving Patterns and open the package, you receive a limited license to use it personally to make one or more finished products enhanced by the design which you may sell. You may not copy, publish, sell, distribute, redistribute or otherwise make the pattern you received from Classic Carving Patterns to any third party and you may not publish or advertise the pattern on your web site as your own.
