Terms and Conditions

Effective date: October 15, 2026

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") apply to your use of astutepursuits.com (the "site"). By using the site, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

Who We Are

The site is operated by D. Moore under the name Astute Pursuits ("we," "us," or "our"). You can reach us through the contact page.

What This Site Is

Astute Pursuits is a crochet portfolio and resource site. It shows finished projects and links to patterns, yarn, tools, and other products we find useful. It is for general information and inspiration.

Affiliate Links

Some links on this site are affiliate links, including links through the Amazon Associates Program. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not change the price you pay.

Our Content

The photos, text, guides, and designs we created are © Astute Pursuits unless noted otherwise. You are welcome to link to any page and to share a photo or short excerpt with a clear credit and link back to the page. Please don't copy, republish, sell, or use our content for commercial purposes without asking first.

Patterns, products, names, and images that belong to other designers, shops, and brands remain theirs. We link to them, and we credit designers where we can. Please follow each designer's own rules for using their patterns.

Third-Party Links and Products

The site links to websites, patterns, and products we don't own or control. We aren't responsible for their content, availability, prices, or policies, and a link isn't a guarantee of quality or an endorsement of everything on that site. Prices and availability can change without notice.

Crafting Information and Disclaimers

Guides, size charts, stitch-name conversions, yarn information, and project notes are shared in good faith, but crochet results vary with your yarn, hook, tension, and technique, and mistakes can slip into any guide. The site and everything on it are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind. Use your own judgment and check pattern details with the designer.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren't liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site, from information on it, or from products, patterns, or services you find through it. Nothing in these Terms limits a right you have under law that can't be limited.

Messages You Send Us

Please use the contact form respectfully and don't send spam, unlawful material, or anything that infringes someone else's rights. We may ignore or block messages that do. How we handle your information is explained in our Privacy Policy.

Using the Site Responsibly

Please don't try to disrupt the site, access areas you aren't authorized to use, or collect content from it by automated means in a way that burdens it.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page shows the latest revision. Using the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules.
