The agreement

Terms of Use

Last updated 07 / 23 / 2026

Welcome to Slowspun. These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Quentin Smith ("we," "us," "our") governing your use of the Slowspun application for iOS and Android mobile devices (the "Service"). By downloading, installing, or using the Service, you agree to these Terms, to our End User License Agreement (EULA), and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. What Slowspun does

Slowspun is a tool that helps knitters recalculate ("regauge") knitting patterns to their own gauge and provides related calculators and organizational tools. Slowspun is an app for iOS and Android mobile devices — it is not a website or a desktop/computer program.

The Service provides calculations and estimates to assist you. It does not knit for you and cannot guarantee how any project will turn out. Results depend on the accuracy of the information you enter (your gauge, measurements, the pattern, and so on) and on your own knitting. You are responsible for checking the App's output — including swatching and verifying your gauge — before relying on it for a project, materials, or purchases.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. In some regions — including the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom — a higher minimum age may apply for digital consent; where it does, that higher age governs. By using the Service, you confirm that you meet the applicable minimum age.

3. Your license to use the Service

Your right to use the App software is granted under our EULA, which is incorporated into these Terms. In short: we grant you a limited, personal license to use the App; we do not sell you the software itself.

Your knitting is yours. Nothing in these Terms gives us any ownership of the garments or items you knit, or of patterns you create or adapt using the Service. The license restrictions apply to the App software and our content — not to your knitting output. This includes any pattern text you paste into the App: it stays yours, we claim no ownership of it, and because the App runs on your device we do not receive or store it. You are responsible for making sure you have the right to use any pattern or material you enter, and for respecting the rights of its designer or owner.

4. Purchases and the full version

Some features require a one-time purchase ("full version"). Purchases are made through the Apple App Store or Google Play and are subject to their terms. We do not process payments and never receive or store your payment details. Prices may change for future purchasers; a one-time purchase you have already completed will not be charged again.

Refunds. We will refund the full version on request within 30 days of the date of purchase. After 30 days we do not offer refunds for the full version. Apple and Google also operate their own refund processes, which are separate from ours and granted at their discretion. Nothing in this section limits any rights you may have under the consumer law of your country, including where the App is faulty or does not match its description.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

6. Intellectual property

The Service — including its name, logo, design, original text, and software (other than third-party components, AI-generated components, and your own content) — is owned by Quentin Smith and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. These Terms do not transfer any of our intellectual property to you.

Feedback. If you send us feedback, suggestions, or feature ideas, you grant Quentin Smith a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free right to use them for any purpose, with no obligation to you and without compensation or credit. You confirm that any feedback you send is yours to give and does not violate anyone else's rights.

Third-party and open-source components. The App includes third-party and open-source components provided under their own licenses. Those licenses are listed within the App.

7. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Service's calculations are error-free or that your projects will succeed. You assume responsibility for verifying results before spending materials or time on a project.

8. Limitation of liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Quentin Smith WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF MATERIALS (INCLUDING YARN), TIME, PROFITS, OR DATA, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM RELATING TO THE SERVICE WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP (IF ANY) IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

9. Indemnification

To the extent permitted by law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Quentin Smith from any third-party claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Service; (b) your violation of these Terms, the EULA, or any applicable law; (c) your violation of anyone else's rights, including the intellectual property rights of a pattern's designer; or (d) any pattern or other material you enter into the Service. We may take over the defense of any claim covered by this section, and you agree to cooperate with us if we do.

10. Changes to the Service and these Terms

We may modify or discontinue the Service, and we may update these Terms. If we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and, where appropriate, notify you in the App. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated Terms.

Discontinuation. If we discontinue the Service, this means we will stop issuing updates and providing support for it. Because the App runs entirely on your device, a copy you have already installed will continue to function for as long as your device supports it. We cannot guarantee ongoing compatibility with future operating system versions, or that the App will remain available to download.

11. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you violate these Terms.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and Quentin Smith agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Williamson County, Texas, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

13. Miscellaneous

Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the EULA and the Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and Quentin Smith regarding the Service and replace any earlier agreements on that subject.

Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, it will be limited or removed only to the smallest extent necessary, and the rest will remain in full effect.

No waiver. If we do not enforce a provision right away, that is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

Assignment. You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without our written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or to a successor in interest.

Survival. Provisions that by their nature should continue after these Terms end — including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification — will survive.
