Terms of Service

Each project is defined by a written quote listing deliverables, number of designs, colourways, revision rounds, sampling stages, and dates. Work outside that scope — extra repeats, additional colourways, new structures, or rush schedules — is quoted separately before it starts.

You confirm that any references, logos, artwork, or archive prints you send us may lawfully be used for the project. Approvals given in writing (including email) on artwork, repeats, colour standards, and strike-offs are final for production purposes.

• Copyright in sketches, repeats, drafts, and files remains with PatternForge until the final invoice is paid in full.
• On payment you receive the licence set out in the quote — typically an exclusive or non-exclusive right to reproduce the design on named products, in a named territory, for a named term.
• Unless the quote states an assignment, the studio retains ownership and may show the work in its portfolio after your first public release.
• Resale, sublicensing, or transfer of artwork files requires our written consent.

Strike-offs, lab dips, and hand samples are approximations. Colour, hand, and repeat registration vary between mills, substrates, and finishing routes. Production tolerances are those of the mill you appoint. We are not the manufacturer and do not warrant mill output.

• Projects start on receipt of a 50% deposit unless the quote says otherwise.
• The balance is due on delivery of final files, within 14 days of invoice.
• Sampling, courier, mill, and dye-house costs are passed through at cost and shown separately.
• Late payment may attract interest at the statutory rate applicable in [Jurisdiction], and licences remain suspended until the account is settled.

Dates assume timely feedback at each approval stage. Delays in approvals, materials, or mill capacity move subsequent dates by at least the same period. We will always tell you as soon as a date is at risk.

Either party may cancel a project in writing. Work completed and third-party costs already committed remain payable; see our Refund Policy for how deposits are treated.

We keep briefs, ranges, and commercial terms confidential and will sign your NDA where required. Please treat our drafts, drafts of weave structures, and pricing as confidential in return.

To the extent permitted by law in [Jurisdiction], our total liability for any project is limited to the fees paid for that project, and we are not liable for lost profit, lost production, or indirect loss. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
