Say you are a Stay-At-Home mom (or dad!) who knows how to knit or crochet and you'd like to make some extra money on the side. Or maybe you just love crocheting and knitting as a hobby but always make more items than you can use. Whatever the case, we are happy to announce that you can now make items from our patterns and sell them! We are offering this Licensing Agreement to allow anyone who purchases our patterns from us to sell dolls (or bears or bunnies or hats or sweaters) for a small royalty. You pay $50 to get this license, and you are permitted to sell up to 12 items created from our patterns per year, that's less than a $5 fee per item! Each listing counts as one item, no more than one doll per listing. No limit on doll clothing or doll accessories per listing. Licensing Agreement is valid for the one person knitting the items. Non-transferable.
This purchase is only for Agreement only, no patterns are included therein and must be purchased separately.
YOU MAY NOT USE THE PATTERNS TO BASE A BUSINESS AROUND—that could cause confusion with our customers and will be removed for such.
🔐 As the pattern designers and product creators, we use decorative details to set our items apart from the items created by our pattern customers. If you begin to duplicate details of ours which are not included in the patterns, it may cause confusion with our customers and will be removed for such--details included are fulling (felting), jointing, copying facial features not included in the pattern, or attempting to make animals or people which no pattern is offered, etc. We reserve the right to keep ownership of those private details not included in the pattern. The Licensing Agreement ONLY covers the patterns as they are written. As a reminder, modifying patterns is copyright infringement. 🔐
