Terms of Use

Effective date: November 10, 2026

1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your use of practicalcrafter.com (the “Site”), published by Practical Crafter (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

2. Who may use the Site

The Site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. If you are under 18, use the Site only with a parent’s or guardian’s permission. Projects described as suitable for kids are meant to be done with an adult.

3. Content for general information only

Our guides, tutorials, measurements, cost estimates, and tool results are provided for general information. Materials, tools, and techniques vary, and results depend on your skill, equipment, and conditions. Product details and prices can change after we publish. We work to keep our content accurate and up to date, but we cannot guarantee that it is complete, current, or suited to your project.

4. Safety

Crafting involves real risks. You are responsible for your own safety and for the safety of anyone you supervise:

  • Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and warnings for every tool and product, and read the safety data sheet when one is provided.
  • Use sharp tools (craft knives, rotary cutters, scissors, needles) with care and keep them out of reach of children.
  • Treat heat sources (hot glue guns, irons, heat guns, wood-burning tools, ovens, kilns, candle wax) with caution, and keep a safe workspace.
  • Use resins, epoxies, paints, sprays, solvents, adhesives, and lye (for soapmaking) in a well-ventilated area, with gloves and eye protection when the label calls for them.
  • Supervise children at all times. Small parts, beads, and button batteries are choking and swallowing hazards for young kids.
  • Test on a scrap piece before working on your final project.

5. No professional advice

Nothing on the Site is professional advice, including electrical, structural, medical, legal, or financial advice. For work that involves wiring, load-bearing structures, allergies, or health concerns, consult a qualified professional.

6. How our content is made

Our articles are drafted with the help of artificial intelligence tools, from a brief that sets our standards, and are re-audited automatically when they are refreshed. We cite outside sources so you can check key facts, and we correct errors when readers report them. Errors can still slip through. If you spot one, please tell us through our contact form.

7. Advertising and affiliate links

The Site may display ads. Some articles may also contain affiliate links: if you buy a product through one of these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. As the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires, we disclose affiliate links. Commissions do not affect which products we recommend.

8. Intellectual property

The text, graphics, logo, design, and other original content of the Site belong to us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other laws. Photos come mostly from Unsplash and are used under the Unsplash License.

You may view, print, and save pages for your personal, non-commercial use, and you may share links to our articles. Short quotes are fine if you credit the Site and link to the source page. You may not copy, republish, sell, or create derivative works from our content without our written permission.

9. Copyright complaints

If you believe that material on the Site infringes your copyright, send us a notice through our contact form that includes:

  • your physical or electronic signature, as the copyright owner or a person authorized to act for the owner;

  • a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or are authorized to act for the owner.

These are the elements listed in 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). We review every complete notice and remove or correct material when appropriate.

10. Acceptable use

When using the Site, you agree not to:

  • use it for any unlawful purpose;
  • scrape, copy, or collect its content in bulk by automated means, except for search engines as permitted by our robots.txt file;
  • try to access parts of the Site or its servers that are not public;
  • interfere with how the Site works, or send malicious code.

11. Messages you send us

Messages you send through our contact form are not confidential. If you share feedback or ideas, we may use them to improve the Site without compensating you. We will always ask for your permission before publishing your name, your photos, or your projects.

12. Third-party links and services

The Site links to websites, stores, and services that we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, products, prices, or policies. Your dealings with them are between you and them.

13. Disclaimer of warranties

THE SITE AND ITS CONTENT ARE 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 guarantee that the Site will always be available or free of errors.

14. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INJURY, LOSS, OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR FROM PROJECTS YOU CARRY OUT BASED ON ITS CONTENT, INCLUDING DAMAGED MATERIALS, PROPERTY DAMAGE, OR INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES. Some states do not allow certain limits on liability, so some of the above may not apply to you.

15. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold us harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of these Terms.

16. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of France, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Nothing in these Terms limits any rights you have under consumer protection laws that apply to you and cannot be waived.

17. Changes to the Site and these Terms

We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time. We may also update these Terms; the new version applies once it is posted on this page with a new effective date. Continuing to use the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

18. General

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site.
