Terms of Service

NiftyFifty (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a platform for quilters to discover blocks and patterns, organize exchanges, join guilds, chat with other members, and share their work. By creating an account or using NiftyFifty, you agree to these Terms of Service.

These terms are written to be clear and fair. If you have questions, email us at hello@niftyfiftyquilting.com.

You must be 13 years or older to use NiftyFifty. You’re responsible for keeping your account secure. Do not share your account or create accounts on behalf of others without their permission.

Provide accurate information when you sign up. We may suspend accounts with false information, including fake identities used to impersonate other quilters.

When you upload quilt blocks, photos, patterns, or any other content to NiftyFifty, you keep full copyright ownership of that content.

By uploading, you grant NiftyFifty a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, archive, and feature your content within the platform — for example, on exchange pages, the block library, member profiles, or community highlights. This license exists solely to operate and improve NiftyFifty.

We will never sell your uploaded content, license it to third parties for commercial purposes, or use it outside of NiftyFifty without your explicit permission. You can remove your content at any time.

By posting, you confirm that you have the right to share what you upload — that patterns are your original work, in the public domain, or shared with permission from the rights holder. Do not upload content you don’t have rights to share.

Quilt block exchanges depend on every participant fulfilling their commitment. When you join an exchange, you are agreeing to make and mail your blocks by the deadline. Dropping out without notice affects the entire group.

Habitual no-shows may be restricted from future exchanges. We protect the experience for members who do show up.

The NiftyFifty Pattern Maker generates original SVG quilt designs in your browser. Designs you create are yours to use for personal quilting projects.

The AI-assisted generation feature uses Claude (by Anthropic) to interpret your prompts. Prompts are sent to Anthropic’s servers — do not include sensitive personal information in prompts.

• Harassment, bullying, or targeted abuse of other members
• Spam, unsolicited advertising, or pyramid schemes
• Uploading malware or attempting to compromise platform security
• Sharing patterns or content you don’t have the right to distribute
• Impersonating other quilters or creating fake accounts
• Scraping or mass-downloading content without permission

If you believe your copyrighted work has been posted on NiftyFifty without permission, send a DMCA takedown notice to hello@niftyfiftyquilting.com with: your contact information, identification of the copyrighted work, the URL of the infringing content, and a statement of good faith belief and accuracy under penalty of perjury.

We respond to valid DMCA notices within 5 business days.

You may delete your account at any time from Account Settings. We may suspend or terminate accounts that repeatedly violate these terms, with or without notice depending on severity.

Upon termination, your public content (blocks, exchange photos) may remain in the archive unless you delete it before closing your account.

NiftyFifty is provided “as is.” We make no warranties about uptime, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, our liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim (or $100, whichever is greater).

We may update these terms as the platform evolves. If we make material changes, we’ll notify you by email at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use after that date constitutes acceptance.
