Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using yarn-substitution-finder.hub2.day (“YarnSwap: Substitution Finder”, “the site”, or “we”), you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

Purpose and Use

The site is a convenience tool designed to help knitters and crocheters find substitute yarns based on weight, fiber content, gauge, and yardage requirements. The site and its outputs are for informational and reference purposes only.

No Professional Advice

Nothing on the site constitutes professional advice, including but not limited to textile engineering, materials science, or medical advice (for example, related to allergies). You are responsible for evaluating whether a suggested yarn is suitable for your project, body, or intended use.

Verification of Outputs

Yarn substitution suggestions are generated using general data and algorithms. They may not account for all characteristics such as hand, drape, shrinkage, colorfastness, or dye lot variations. You should always:

  • Check the actual yarn label and manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Make a gauge swatch before starting a project.
  • Confirm fiber content and care requirements yourself.

Lawful Use

You agree to use the site only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms. You must not:

  • Use the site to infringe the rights of others.
  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site, its servers, or related systems.
  • Interfere with the site’s operation, security, or integrity.
  • Use automated tools to scrape or collect data from the site without permission.
  • Misrepresent your identity or affiliation.

Advertising and Third Parties

The site displays advertisements, including through Google AdSense. Ads are provided by third parties, and the site does not endorse and is not responsible for the content, products, or services offered by advertisers. Your interactions with advertisers are solely between you and the advertiser.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from the site’s content without permission, except as allowed by law.

You may use the site’s substitution suggestions for your personal, non-commercial knitting and crocheting projects. If you share or publish results, do not imply that the site endorses or guarantees them.

Availability and Changes

We strive to keep the site available and functioning properly, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time without notice.

Disclaimers

The site and its content are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be accurate, complete, reliable, or free of errors or viruses.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the site operator and its service providers are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or loss of profits, data, or use, arising from your use of or inability to use the site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

In no event will our total liability for all claims related to the site exceed the amount you paid to access the site (which may be zero).

Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the site operator and its service providers from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the site, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any law or third-party right.

Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction where the site is operated, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction, and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts.

Privacy

Your use of the site is also governed by our privacy notice, which is available on the site. By using the site, you agree to the practices described in that notice.
