Thank you for your interest in our patterns. These are our terms of sale for all patterns purchased directly from us at BurdaStyle and via burdastyle.com. If you do not agree to these terms, do not purchase patterns from BurdaStyle.

BurdaStyle Patterns

Partner Brand Patterns

We offer our Partner Brands the chance to showcase and sell their patterns through their BurdaStyle profile page. Some of our Partner Brands sell their patterns under their own terms, which may be distinctly different from ours. Please make sure you review the applicable terms before each sale, and make sure you are aware of whom you’re buying from. Some Partner Brand patterns may be hosted outside of burdastyle.com. We are not responsible for these sites, and you enter any third party site at your own risk. If you buy patterns outside of burdastyle.com, our terms of sale do not apply and we are not responsible for these transactions.

If you buy patterns from a Partner Brand on burdastyle.com, please be aware that BurdaStyle is not responsible for the pattern or instruction content. If you have any questions on the pattern or instructions, please contact our Partner Brands directly. The relevant contact information will be listed on the BurdaStyle.com profile of the Partner Brand, on the Partner Brand patterns and the Partner Brand instructions.
