PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SERVICE, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH BELOW. IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICE. SVP MAY MODIFY THIS AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME, AND SUCH MODIFICATIONS SHALL BE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY UPON POSTING OF THE MODIFIED AGREEMENT ON THE SERVICE. YOU AGREE TO REVIEW THE AGREEMENT PERIODICALLY TO BE AWARE OF SUCH MODIFICATIONS AND YOUR CONTINUED ACCESS OR USE OF THE SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED YOUR CONCLUSIVE ACCEPTANCE OF THE MODIFIED AGREEMENT.

 

SVP is the provider of the Service, which permits you to utilize certain features, including storing your personal files (such as embroideries, stitches, projects)(as more fully defined below, “User Content”), purchasing and downloading sewing, embroidery and crafting design files (as more fully defined below, “Library Content”) made available by SVP and making them accessible on your sewing or crafting machine, computer, or mobile device only under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and SVP’s Privacy Policy. As soon as you enable the Service, your User Content will be automatically sent to and stored by SVP, so you can later access that User Content or have User Content wirelessly pushed to your other Service-enabled products.

 

I.         REQUIREMENTS FOR USE OF THE SERVICE

 

To use the Service, you cannot be a person barred from receiving the Service under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions, including the country in which you reside or from where you use the Service. By accessing the Service, you represent that you understand and agree to the foregoing.

The Service is only available to individuals aged 13 years or older, unless you are under 13 years old and your mySewnet™ Account (“Account”) was provided to you as a result of a request by your parent or guardian. We do not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal information from children under 13, or equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction, without verifiable parental consent.

 

Products and Accounts. Use of the Service requires compatible products, internet access, and certain software, which will require periodic updates. SVP reserves the right to limit the number of Accounts that may be created from a device and the number of devices associated with an Account. The latest version of required software may be required for certain transactions or features. You agree that meeting these requirements is your responsibility.

 

Limitations on Use. You agree to use the Service only for purposes permitted by this Agreement, and only to the extent permitted by any applicable law, regulation, or generally accepted practice in the applicable jurisdiction. User Content shall only be data directly related to sewing, embroidery and crafting. If your use of the Service or other behavior intentionally or unintentionally threatens SVP’s ability to provide the Service or other systems, SVP shall be entitled to take all reasonable steps to protect the Service and SVP’s systems, which may include suspension of your access to the Service. Repeated violations of the limitations may result in termination of your Account.

 

Availability of the Service. The Service, or any feature or part thereof, may not be available in all languages or in all countries and SVP makes no representation that the Service, or any feature or part thereof, is appropriate or available for use in any particular location. To the extent you choose to access and use the Service, you do so at your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with any applicable laws.

 

Changing the Service. SVP reserves the right at any time to modify this Agreement, to impose new or additional terms or conditions on your use of the Service, or to amend, terminate or discontinue the Service at any time and in its so discretion without notice to you. Such modifications and additional terms and conditions will be communicated to you and, if accepted by your continued accessing of the Service, will be effective immediately and will be incorporated into this Agreement. In the event that you refuse to accept such changes, SVP will have the right to terminate this Agreement and your Account. You agree that SVP shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification or cessation of the Service. We may update the Library Content on the Service from time to time, but SVP makes no guarantee that the Library Content is complete or up to date. You agree and understand that any of the material on the Service may be out of date at any given time, and we are under no obligation to update such material.

 

II.         FEATURES AND SERVICES

 

mySewnet™ Enabled Devices. When you sign in with your Account on an enabled machine, all embroideries, stitches and designs that you save will be automatically synchronized with mySewnet™ and any other machine, computer or device on which you are signed in. All changes (including adding, modifying, renaming, and deleting files and folders) on any one machine, computer or device will automatically be sent to and reflected in your Account, as well as all other machines, computers or devices on which you are signed into your Account. Please note that the availability of Library and/or User Content on your machine or computer may vary depending upon the amount of available storage. If you do not wish to use mySewnet™ on a particular machine, computer, or device, you can sign out of your Account which will remove all Library and User Content from that machine, computer, or device.

 

mySewnet™ Designs. You may choose to purchase an individual design from the Library Content as part of the Services either owned solely or licensed by SVP and to which SVP has the right to resell or sublicense to you the user. The Library Content for purchase may only be available in certain countries and locations and may only work with certain SVP machine models.

 

mySewnet™ Subscriptions. You may choose to subscribe to the mySewnet™ Subscription services (“Subscription”) to gain access to unlimited use of the Library Content and/or additional mySewnet™ features either owned solely or licensed by SVP and to which SVP has the right to resell or sublicense to you the user. The Subscription may only be available in certain countries and locations and may only work with certain SVP machine models. SVP may offer different Subscription plans, including special promotional plans. Some Subscription plans may have differing conditions and limitations, which will be disclosed at your sign-up or in other communications made available to you. You can find specific details regarding your Subscription by visiting mySewnet™ and clicking on the "Account" link. If you choose an automatically renewing plan, your Subscription will continue and automatically renew until terminated. You must cancel your Subscription before it renews in order to avoid billing of the Subscription fees for the next billing cycle to your payment method on file (see "Cancellation" below).

 

Payment Processing.

We use the services of a third-party provider for all subscription and single design purchases.  When you place an order on mySewnet™, you purchase your order  from Digital River and all credit card data is processed directly by the Digital River payment gateway. During the checkout process, Digital River will provide its additional terms of service and/or privacy policy applicable to the purchase.

 

Free Trials. Free trial eligibility is determined by SVP at its sole discretion, and we may limit eligibility or duration to prevent free trial abuse. We reserve the right to revoke the free trial and put your account on hold in the event that we determine that you are not eligible. We may use information such as device ID, method of payment or an account email address used with an existing or recent Subscription to determine eligibility. For combinations with other offers, restrictions may apply.

 

You will be charged the Subscription fee for your next billing cycle to your payment method on file at the end of the free trial period and your paid Subscription will automatically begin unless you cancel your Subscription prior to the end of the free trial period. To view the applicable Subscription price and end date of your free trial period, visit mySewnet™ and click the "Billing details" link on your "Account" page.

 

Billing and Cancellation. The fee for the Subscription service and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the service, such as taxes and possible transaction fees, will be charged to your payment method on the specific billing date indicated on your "Account" page. The length of your billing cycle will depend on the type of subscription that you choose when you sign-up for the service. Subscription fees are fully earned upon payment. In some cases, your payment date may change. For example, if your payment method has not successfully settled or if your paid membership began on a day not contained in a given month. Visit mySewnet™ and click on the "Billing details" link on your "Account" page to see your next payment date. We may authorize your payment method in anticipation of Subscription or service-related charges through various methods, including authorizing it up to approximately one month of service as soon as you register. In some instances, your available balance or credit limit may be reduced to reflect the authorization during your free trial period. To use a Subscription service, you must provide one or more payment methods. You authorize the charging of any payment method associated to your account in the case that your primary payment method is declined or no longer available to us for payment of your subscription fee. You remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not cancel your account, we may suspend your access to the service until we have successfully charged a valid payment method. For some payment methods, the issuer may charge you certain fees, such as foreign transaction fees or other fees relating to the processing of your payment method. Check with your payment method service provider for details. You can update your payment methods by going to the "Account" page. We may also update your payment methods using information provided by the payment service providers. Following any update, you authorize us to continue to charge the applicable payment method(s). You can cancel your Subscription at any time, and you will continue to have access to the Subscription services through the end of your current paid for billing period. To cancel, go to your "Account" page on mySewnet™ and follow the instructions for cancellation. If you cancel your membership, your account will automatically close at the end of your current billing period. To see when your account will close, click "Billing details" on the "Account" page. We reserve the right to change our subscription plans or adjust pricing for our service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in these Terms of Use, any price changes or changes to your subscription plan will take effect following notice to you. Payments are nonrefundable, and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current billing period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our members ("credits"). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.

To provide such features or Services, where available, SVP and its partners and dealers must collect, use, transmit, process and maintain data, including but not limited to your geographic location and information related to your Account and any products registered thereunder.

Beta Features. From time to time, SVP Worldwide may choose to offer new and/or updated features of the Services for the purpose of providing SVP with feedback on the quality and usability of the new features. You understand and agree that your participation in the program is voluntary and does not create a legal partnership, agency, or employment relationship between you and SVP, and that SVP is not obligated to provide you with any Beta features. SVP may make such Beta features available to program participants by online registration or enrollment via the Service. You understand and agree that SVP may collect and use information from your Account, devices and peripherals in order to enroll you in a program and/or determine your eligibility to participate. You understand that once you enroll in a program you may be unable to revert back to the earlier non-beta version of a given Beta feature. In the event such reversion is possible, you may not be able to migrate data created within the Beta feature back to the earlier non-beta version. Your use of the Beta features and participation in the program is governed by this Agreement and any additional license terms that may separately accompany the Beta features. The Beta features are provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis and may contain errors or inaccuracies that could cause failures, corruption or loss of data and/or information from your device and from peripherals (including, without limitation, servers and computers) connected thereto. SVP strongly encourages you to backup all data and information on your device and any peripherals prior to participating in any program. You expressly acknowledge and agree that all use of the Beta features is at your sole risk. You assume all risks and all costs associated with your participation in any program, including, without limitation, any internet access fees, backup expenses, costs incurred for the use of your device and peripherals, and any damage to any equipment, software, information or data. SVP may or may not provide you with technical and/or other support for the Beta features. If support is provided it will be in addition to your normal support coverage for the Service and only available through the program. You agree to abide by any support rules or policies that SVP provides to you in order to receive any such support. SVP reserves the right to modify the terms, conditions or policies of the program (including ceasing the program) at any time with or without notice and may revoke your participation in the program at any time. You acknowledge that SVP has no obligation to provide a commercial version of the Beta features, and that should such a commercial version be made available, it may have features or functionality different than that contained in the Beta features. As part of the program, SVP will provide you with the opportunity to submit comments, suggestions, or other feedback regarding your use of the Beta features. You agree that in the absence of a separate written Agreement to the contrary, SVP will be free to use any feedback you provide for any purpose throughout the world.
