Terms of Service

These Terms govern your use of CrochetCustom.com and any B2B inquiries, sampling, OEM/ODM manufacturing, and related services provided through this website.

Last Updated: January 2026

Operator and Scope

CrochetCustom is the customer-facing manufacturing brand and website (“Site”). CrochetCustom is operated by U-My Manufacturing (“U-My”, “we”, “our”). We provide B2B OEM/ODM manufacturing services only (no retail sales).

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using this Site, submitting an inquiry, requesting a quote, approving samples, placing an order, or otherwise engaging with our services, you agree to these Terms of Service (“Terms”). If you do not agree, do not use the Site or services.

If you are using the Site on behalf of a company, you represent that you have authority to bind that company to these Terms.

2. Services

We provide B2B OEM/ODM manufacturing services for crochet and plush products and related programs, which may include:

  • Product development: design support, prototyping, sampling, BOM alignment
  • Manufacturing: finished crochet/plush products, hybrid constructions, multi-SKU programs
  • DIY kit programs: private label kit assembly, packaging, inserts
  • Quality & compliance support: QC documentation and coordination with third-party labs when required by the project
  • Logistics coordination: shipment preparation and export documentation support per agreed Incoterms

Specific deliverables, timelines, pricing, and compliance obligations are defined in quotations, proforma invoices, purchase orders, order confirmations, and/or separate written agreements (“Project Documents”). If there is a conflict, the Project Documents control for that project.

3. Website Use

The Site is provided for business information, inquiries, and project communication. You agree not to misuse the Site, including by attempting to disrupt operations, scrape content in a way that harms performance, upload malicious files, or submit false information.

We may suspend access or decline inquiries that appear fraudulent, abusive, or inconsistent with our B2B scope.

4. Quotes, Samples, and Order Acceptance

Quotes: Quotations are valid for the period stated in the quote (or 30 days if not stated) and are subject to change if specifications, materials, compliance requirements, exchange rates, or freight conditions change.

Samples: For custom products, sampling is required prior to mass production. Sample fees, lead times, and revision rounds (if any) are set out in the Project Documents.

Sample Approval Standard: “Sample approval” confirms the agreed standard for mass production. For handmade or semi-handmade items, minor variation within the agreed tolerance is expected. Final acceptance standards must be written and measurable (dimensions, weight, stitch density, color tolerance, etc.).

Order Acceptance: An order becomes binding only after (i) we issue written order confirmation (or signed PI/contract) and (ii) we receive any required deposit/advance payment stated in the Project Documents.

5. Client Responsibilities

  • Provide complete and accurate specifications, labeling, packaging, and market requirements in writing.
  • Provide authorized artwork/IP materials and approvals in a timely manner.
  • Confirm compliance and destination-market requirements (or request us to coordinate third-party testing where applicable).
  • Review and approve samples and pre-production confirmations promptly to avoid timeline impact.

6. Intellectual Property (IP)

Client IP: You are responsible for ensuring you have all necessary rights, licenses, and permissions for any IP you provide or request us to manufacture (including characters, logos, copyrighted works, and brand assets). You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims arising from client-provided or client-directed IP.

Our Materials: The Site content, our documentation templates, and non-client-specific processes remain our property unless explicitly transferred in writing. Any transfer of design ownership, molds, tooling, patterns, or files must be agreed in writing.

Confidentiality: We treat non-public project information as confidential and expect the same from clients. If you require specific NDA terms, please execute an NDA before sharing sensitive materials.

7. Quality, Compliance, and Testing

Quality standards, tolerances, inspection method, and acceptance criteria must be defined in the Project Documents. Where applicable, we can coordinate third-party testing with accredited laboratories, but:

  • Testing scope, lab selection, cost responsibility, and timelines must be agreed in writing.
  • Compliance is destination-market and product-specific; requirements vary by country and category.
  • We do not provide legal advice regarding regulatory obligations in your jurisdiction.

If a nonconformance is confirmed, remedies are limited to those stated in Section 11 (Claims and Remedies), unless otherwise agreed in writing.

8. Pricing and Payment

Payment terms (deposit, milestones, balance) are stated in the Project Documents. Unless otherwise agreed:

  • Deposits are required to schedule production and procure materials.
  • Sample/prototyping fees are billed separately unless explicitly credited in writing.
  • Late payments may pause production, shipment release, or document issuance until payment is received.

Pricing does not include bank fees, customs duties, taxes, or destination charges unless explicitly stated.

9. Delivery, Incoterms, and Risk Transfer

Delivery terms (e.g., EXW/FOB/CIF/DDP) and shipment responsibilities are defined in the Project Documents. Risk of loss transfers according to the agreed Incoterms.

Production timelines are estimates unless expressly guaranteed in writing. Delays may occur due to force majeure events, changes in scope, delayed approvals, material availability, regulatory testing lead times, or logistics constraints.

10. Cancellations and Changes

Orders may be cancelled only with written confirmation from us. If cancellation is approved, you remain responsible for costs incurred (including sampling, materials purchased, work-in-progress, and allocated capacity) as documented by us.

Any change after sample approval or after production starts (specs, artwork, packaging, quantity, timeline) may result in additional costs and timeline changes. Changes are effective only when confirmed in writing.

11. Inspection, Claims, and Remedies

You must inspect goods promptly upon receipt. Claims must be submitted in writing with evidence (photos, quantities, lot details) within the timeframe stated in the Project Documents, or within 14 days of receipt if not stated.

For verified manufacturing nonconformance within agreed specifications, our remedies (at our discretion) are limited to: repair, replacement, or credit/refund up to the value of the affected nonconforming goods. This is your exclusive remedy unless otherwise agreed in writing.

We are not responsible for defects caused by mishandling, storage conditions, unauthorized modifications, or incorrect use in your supply chain.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

  • Our total liability for any claim related to a project will not exceed the amount paid for the specific order giving rise to the claim.
  • We are not liable for indirect, consequential, special, or punitive damages (including lost profits, lost sales, or business interruption).

Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations. In those jurisdictions, limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13. Disclaimers

The Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted access or error-free operation. Any general information on the Site does not constitute a binding offer; binding terms are in the Project Documents.

14. Force Majeure

We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, labor disruptions, power/telecom outages, government actions, customs delays, material shortages, and carrier interruptions.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Unless otherwise agreed in the Project Documents, these Terms are governed by the laws of the People’s Republic of China.

Disputes should first be addressed through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved, disputes will be submitted to arbitration or a competent forum in China as specified in the Project Documents. If no forum is specified, the parties agree to submit disputes to a competent court in China.

If multiple language versions exist, the English version controls unless required otherwise by applicable law.

16. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last Updated” date indicates when changes were made. Continued use of the Site after updates indicates acceptance of the revised Terms, where permitted by law.
