Terms of Use
Welcome to The Ditsy. The site you're on is owned and operated by The Ditsy Edit LLC ("we," "us," "our"). By using our website, you agree to these Terms of Use — a few honest guardrails so we can all enjoy this place.
01Use of the site
You may use the Site for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not scrape, copy, republish, or use Site content (including maker features, Makers Index listings, written content, or photographs) without our written permission.
02Maker-submitted and editorial content
The Site publishes content submitted by makers and other third parties, as well as editorial content created by The Ditsy Edit LLC. Maker content is governed by our Maker Feature Submission Agreement. The Ditsy Edit LLC edits maker submissions for clarity, length, tone, and aesthetic consistency. We make reasonable efforts to feature accurate information but do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or current availability of any maker, product, or service featured on the Site.
03Makers Index
The Site may include a Makers Index or similar directory featuring makers and their work. The Makers Index is provided for informational and discovery purposes. The Ditsy Edit LLC:
- Is not a party to any transaction, communication, or relationship between you and any featured maker;
- Does not endorse, guarantee, or warrant the products, services, business practices, shipping, quality, or conduct of any featured maker;
- Is not responsible for any dispute, loss, or damage arising from your interactions with any featured maker;
- May organize, rank, feature, or remove makers at our sole editorial discretion;
- Makes no guarantee of inclusion, traffic, or any specific outcome to makers.
If you choose to purchase from or contact a featured maker, you do so at your own risk, and any transaction is solely between you and that maker.
04Affiliate disclosure and monetization
The Ditsy Edit LLC may participate in affiliate marketing programs, may earn commissions from purchases made through links on the Site, and may accept sponsorships, paid partnerships, and advertising. Where required, we disclose material relationships in accordance with FTC guidelines. The presence of an affiliate link or sponsored content does not change our editorial standards — we feature makers and products we genuinely believe in.
05Intellectual property
All Site content — including text, design, layout, logos, photographs, graphics, and the compilation of the Makers Index — is the property of The Ditsy Edit LLC or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may not reproduce, modify, or create derivative works without our written permission.
06User conduct
You agree not to use the Site to harass any maker or other user, submit false information, impersonate any person or business, violate any law, or interfere with the operation of the Site.
07Third-party links and services
The Site contains links to third-party websites (including maker websites, shops, and social media accounts). The Ditsy Edit LLC is not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or conduct of any third-party site.
08Disclaimers
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Ditsy Edit LLC disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure.
09Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, The Ditsy Edit LLC's total liability for any claim arising from or related to your use of the Site shall not exceed one hundred US dollars ($100). The Ditsy Edit LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages.
10Changes to these terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
11Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York. Disputes shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in New York.
