Our products are primarily digital embroidery files intended for use with compatible embroidery machines.

The Website may contain:

information about TPS and its collections;
digital embroidery design collections;
product descriptions and technical information;
previews and photographs;
educational or editorial content;
links to external websites and services;
links to third-party payment or digital delivery platforms.

other digital materials supplied with a collection.

The exact contents of each product are described on its product page.

3. Purchasing TPS Products

The Website may display product information and provide links or purchasing interfaces that direct you to a third-party payment or digital delivery service.

At present, TPS may use Lava.top or other third-party services to process purchases and deliver digital products.

When you complete a purchase through a third-party platform, the transaction may also be subject to that platform’s own terms, privacy policy and payment rules.

TPS is not responsible for technical problems, account restrictions or policies of third-party platforms that are outside our reasonable control.

4. Product Information

We make reasonable efforts to ensure that product descriptions, images, design previews, dimensions, stitch counts and other technical information are accurate.

However, embroidery results may vary depending on:

embroidery machine;
hoop;
fabric;
stabilizer;
thread;
needles;
machine settings;
software;
and other production conditions.

TPS does not guarantee that a particular design will produce identical results on every machine or material combination.

Please check the design dimensions and required hoop size before purchasing.

5. Digital Design License

Purchasing a TPS product does not transfer ownership or copyright of the embroidery design to you.

Your purchase grants you a limited license to use the digital files subject to the TPS Digital Design License.

The Digital Design License forms an integral part of the terms governing your use of TPS digital products.
