Terms & Conditions
Knotty Stitches Couture LLC. By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by the following terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
1. About our services. Knotty Stitches Couture LLC is a Utah-based studio offering custom couture, bridal, kilt-making (traditional Scottish and contemporary), costume design and construction for theatre / film / dance, Highland and Irish dancewear, millinery, museum exhibit work, and private sewing lessons. All work is performed by appointment and confirmed in a separate written quote.
2. Inquiry-based โ no online checkout. Items shown on the "Items Available for Purchase" page and in the Portfolio are presented for review and inquiry only. Browsing this site does not constitute an offer, purchase, sale, or contract. All purchases, commissions, and lessons are handled by separate written agreement after direct conversation with the studio.
3. Custom orders. Custom orders typically require a deposit before work begins, a written scope, and an agreed lead time. Final pricing depends on materials, complexity, and timeline and will be confirmed in your quote. Reasonable fit adjustments are included as scoped in the written quote; substantive design changes after construction begins may require an additional fee and timeline. Final responsibility for fit, sizing accuracy, and approval of finished work rests with the client according to the terms of the written quote. Cancellation policy, refund policy, and deposit forfeiture (if applicable) are governed by that written quote, not by this site.
4. Intellectual property. All designs, patterns, photographs, written content, logos, and other materials on this site are the property of Knotty Stitches Couture LLC unless otherwise credited and are protected by U.S. copyright and trademark law. Portfolio photographs depict past commissions and are published with the implied permission of the clients depicted; clients who appear in portfolio imagery may at any time request removal by contacting the studio (see the Contact page). You may not reproduce, redistribute, train models on, or commercially reuse any content from this site without prior written permission.
5. Limitation of liability. The studio's total liability for any claim arising out of a commission, lesson, or purchase is limited to the amount actually paid by the client to Knotty Stitches Couture LLC for that specific commission, lesson, or item. The studio is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, lost profits, or claims by third parties, even if the studio has been advised of the possibility of such damages. This limitation applies to the maximum extent permitted by Utah law and does not affect any non-waivable consumer rights you may have.
6. Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold Knotty Stitches Couture LLC, its members, employees, and contractors harmless from any claim arising from your misuse of this site, violation of these terms, or violation of the rights of any third party.
7. Disclaimer of warranties. This site and its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. The studio does not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
8. Messaging consent. Text messages are optional: the SMS box on the contact form is unticked by default and is not required to send an inquiry. If you tick it, you agree to receive informational SMS messages from the studio about your inquiry. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP at any time to opt out. We do not share consent or opt-in data with third parties for marketing.
9. Newsletter & marketing email. If you subscribe to our newsletter, you agree to receive occasional marketing emails about studio news, portfolio updates, and available pieces. Subscription requires an explicit opt-in checkbox on the signup form. Every marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. You may unsubscribe at any time via the link in any newsletter email, through our email opt-out page, or by contacting us through the Contact page. We do not sell or rent email addresses.
10. Governing law & venue. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Utah without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute that cannot be resolved by good-faith negotiation will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Salt Lake County, Utah, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
11. Severability. If any provision of these terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
12. Changes. Knotty Stitches Couture LLC may update these terms at any time. Changes take effect when posted to this page. Continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
13. Contact. Questions about these terms can be sent through the Contact page.
Effective date: October 23, 2026.
These default terms are a starter template, not legal advice. Knotty Stitches Couture LLC should have these reviewed by qualified Utah legal counsel before relying on them in any dispute.
