1. General Provisions

1.1. This User Agreement (hereinafter the "Agreement") governs the relations between the Administration and a natural person (hereinafter the "User") arising from the use of the Stitchy mobile application (hereinafter the "App") and related services.

1.2. By starting to use the App, the User confirms that they have read the terms of the Agreement and accepts them in full. If the User does not agree with the terms, they must stop using the App and delete it from the device.

1.3. The processing of the User's data is described in the App's Privacy Policy, published in the same place as this Agreement; the Policy is an integral part of this Agreement.

1.4. The Administration may unilaterally amend the terms of the Agreement. The current version is always available at the place where the Agreement is published. The date of the last revision is indicated at the beginning of this document.

2. Terms

3. Subject Matter of the Agreement

3.1. The Administration grants the User the right to use the App under a simple (non-exclusive) free-of-charge license, in the territory of all countries of the world, for the term of the exclusive right, to the extent determined by the App's functionality.

3.2. The App enables the User to:

3.3. The App is provided on an "as is" basis. The Administration does not guarantee uninterrupted and error-free operation of the App and may change, supplement, or discontinue individual features.

3.4. The core functionality of the App — creating Patterns, the stitching mode, calculations, and shopping lists — works offline, without an Internet connection. A connection is used only for signing in to the Account, synchronizing Works, and transmitting depersonalized statistics on the App's operation (see the Privacy Policy).

4. Reference Nature of Calculations and Color Matching

This section is a material term of the use of the App.

4.1. Embroidery floss colors are matched automatically based on the colors read from the image. The on-screen display of a color depends on the source image, the device display, and lighting conditions, and does not match the color of the actual thread. The App does not guarantee that the matched color is identical to the shade of a particular skein.

4.2. The manufacturers' catalog color values included in the App are approximate and are not official measurements by the manufacturers. For some catalog items, the on-screen color may be missing or may be given based on the closest analog from another manufacturer.

4.3. The calculation of thread consumption, thread length, and the number of skeins is an estimate. Actual consumption depends on the density and type of canvas, the stitching technique and density, the length of fastenings and knots, the number of crossings, and other factors that the App cannot take into account.

4.4. The User makes purchasing decisions regarding materials independently. The Administration is not liable for any discrepancy between the calculation and actual consumption, for the purchase of an insufficient or excessive amount of materials, or for other related expenses. It is recommended to buy threads with a margin and to compare shades against the actual display in a store.

4.5. The names of embroidery floss manufacturers and their color numbers are used in the App solely for reference purposes — to indicate materials that are available for sale.

5. Account

5.1. An Account is created when signing in with an email address confirmed by a one-time code. No password is used.

5.2. An Account is not required: without signing in, the App retains its full functionality, and data is stored only on the User's device.

5.3. The User undertakes to provide a valid email address to which they have access and is solely responsible for the safekeeping of access to it and for all actions performed under their Account.

5.4. One User corresponds to one Account. Transferring an Account to third parties is not permitted.

5.5. Synchronization transfers the User's Works between their own devices and does not involve publishing Works, showing them to other users, or exchanging data between users.

5.6. Synchronization is not a backup service. The Administration does not guarantee the safety of synchronized data and recommends not treating the App as the only storage location for results that are significant to the User.

6. Rights and Obligations of the User

6.1. The User may use the App for personal non-commercial purposes within the scope of its functionality.

6.2. The User undertakes:

6.3. The User is solely responsible for the lawfulness of the use of the images processed in the App, including compliance with third-party copyrights and citizens' image rights. Image processing is performed on the User's device, is not accessible to the Administration, and is not subject to prior review.

6.4. The User is solely responsible for the safety of the data on their device. If the device is lost, broken, or reset, or if the App is deleted, Works that have not been synchronized with the Account are lost irretrievably. Source photographs are not stored by the App, so a deleted Pattern cannot be restored.

7. Rights and Obligations of the Administration

7.1. The Administration undertakes to keep the App operational within the limits of its available technical capabilities and to process data in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

7.2. The Administration may:

7.3. The Administration has no access to the User's images or to data that has not been transferred to the server as part of synchronization.

8. Results of the App's Operation and Intellectual Property

8.1. The exclusive rights to the App, its interface, program code, graphic elements, and the reference materials compiled by the Administration belong to the Administration.

8.2. The rights to the images uploaded by the User remain with the User or with the right holder of the respective image. The Administration acquires no rights to them.

8.3. A Pattern created by the User in the App may be used by the User freely, including for stitching and for transfer to third parties, provided that the rights of the right holder of the source image are respected.

8.4. The names of embroidery floss and canvas manufacturers, including DMC, Gamma, Anchor, and Madeira, are trademarks of their respective right holders. The App is not affiliated with these companies and is not endorsed or sponsored by them; the trademarks are used solely to indicate compatible materials.

8.5. The fonts used in the App are distributed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1; the license texts are included in the App.

9. Third-Party Services

9.1. The App uses third-party services whose operation is governed by their own terms:

The Administration also engages technical infrastructure providers to host the server side of the App and to deliver sign-in code emails; they act on behalf of the Administration to the extent necessary to provide the respective service. The server side is hosted in the territory of the Russian Federation.

11.2. No advertising is placed in the App.

11.3. The Administration may introduce paid features in future versions. The terms on which they are provided are communicated to the User before the User makes a payment. Functionality previously available free of charge is not restricted in that case, unless expressly stated otherwise by the Administration.

12. Limitation of Liability

12.1. The App is provided "as is". The Administration is not liable for any losses arising from the use of, or the inability to use, the App, including the loss of created Works and expenses for the purchase of materials.

12.2. The Administration does not guarantee that the App meets the User's expectations as to the artistic quality of the resulting Patterns: the result depends on the source image and the selected parameters.

12.3. The Administration's liability is in any case limited to the amount paid by the User for the use of the App.

13. Term and Termination

13.1. The Agreement is effective from the moment the User starts using the App and until the App is deleted from the User's device or the User's Account is deleted.
