Copyright notice and licence

We are the owner of all intellectual property rights in our website and app, and in the material published on them. These works are protected by copyright laws and treaties around the world.

We grant to you a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, revocable licence to view this website and the material on it on a computer or mobile device via a web browser, to copy and store this website and the material on it in your web browser cache memory, and to print pages from this website for your own personal and non-commercial use.

You may not reproduce in any format (including on another website) any part of our website (including content, images, designs, look and feel) without our prior written consent. Other than the above, we do not grant you any other rights in relation to this website or the material on it, and all other rights are reserved.

For the avoidance of doubt, you must not adapt, edit, change, transform, publish, republish, distribute, redistribute, broadcast, rebroadcast, or show or play in public this website or the material on it (in any form or media) without our prior written permission. If you print off, reproduce, copy or download any part of our site in breach of this notice, your right to use our website will cease immediately and you must, at our option, return or destroy any copies of the materials you have made.

We take the protection of our copyright very seriously. If we discover that you have breached the terms of the above licence, we may bring legal proceedings against you and seek monetary damages and/or an injunction to stop you using our materials. You could also be ordered to pay our legal costs.

Ownership of content

All content on Fern Dale Makers Studio — including text, graphics, templates, calculators, icons, code, and brand marks — is owned by Kathryn Barnes trading as Fern Dale Handcrafted, or used under valid licence.

This content is protected by copyright, trade mark and other intellectual property laws. Nothing on this site should be understood as granting any licence or right to use our content without our prior written permission.

Your records

Data, formulas, batch records, product briefs and files that you enter into your account belong to you. We do not claim ownership of your maker records, but we need your permission to store and display them to you so the app can function.

Permitted use

You may use the app and its outputs for your own business or personal use according to your subscription. You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from any part of the platform, templates, or content without written permission.

Exported documents and generated wording

Documents you export — formulas, batch records, Product Information Files, test sheets, invoices, planners and CSV files — carry your own records and your own branding, and you are free to use, print and send them in your business.

The underlying page designs, layouts, templates, wording and calculators used to produce those documents remain ours. You may not extract, resell or republish the templates themselves, or present them as your own product.

Wording produced by the Marketing Suite is yours to use, subject to the AI provider’s own terms. It is not guaranteed to be unique to you, and similar wording may be produced for other makers, so check anything you intend to trade mark or use as a signature phrase.

Marketing material we publish about the app may be shared as-is, but not altered, rebranded or used to promote another product or service.

Content shared by makers

Where a maker chooses to share something in the Maker Community, it stays theirs. Sharing gives other makers permission to use it on the terms the contributor picked; it does not transfer ownership to us or to anyone who copies it. We do not check whether shared material is original or whether the person sharing it had the right to do so, and reviewing a submission before publication is not a check on anyone’s intellectual property.

If you believe something shared in the Maker Community is yours and should not be there, tell us. Give us enough to identify the entry, say what part of it is yours and on what basis, and give us a way to reply. We will look at it, normally within two working days, and may remove the entry from public view while we do. Removing an entry stops any new copies being made; copies another maker made before that remain their own records, under the terms that applied when they were made.

Reporting misuse

If you believe any content on this site infringes your copyright or other rights, please contact us via the Contact & FAQs page with details of the material and your claim. Makers signed in to the Studio can also use the Report action on any Maker Community entry, question or comment.
