Terms of use

Last updated 25 September 2026

These terms cover your use of Pumpkin Portrait Stencils, run by Nathan Ward in the United Kingdom. By signing in you agree to them. Questions: [email protected].

What you get

The service makes a Halloween-styled portrait from a photo you upload and turns it into a printable pumpkin carving pattern. Each pattern is checked by our software against rules for carvability (no pieces that fall out, no cuts too thin at the printed size). That check is about the pattern on paper; how a carving turns out depends on the pumpkin, the tools and the carver, and we cannot guarantee the result.

Credits and payment

Making a pattern uses one credit (two for the Dramatic style). Re-cutting a finished pattern with the sliders and downloading are free.
One free pattern is given after you verify a card through Stripe. Nothing is charged for the verification. It is one per person and one per card.
Credit packs are paid by card through Stripe. Prices are shown in pounds sterling including VAT where applicable.
Credits do not expire while your account exists and are not transferable.
If a generation fails, the credit is returned automatically. If the AI provider declines a style for your photo, no credit is used.
Because credits are used as soon as you generate, you agree that the digital content is supplied immediately and you lose the right to cancel for credits you have used. Unused credits in a pack can be refunded within 14 days of purchase: email [email protected].
If a pattern is faulty (for example it fails to download or print at size), tell us and we will fix it or refund the credit.

Your photos

You keep all rights to your photos. You give us permission to process them, including sending them to our AI provider, only to make your portrait and pattern. You must have the right to use any photo you upload; do not upload photos of other people without their agreement, or of children other than your own or those in your care.

Fair use

Do not use the service for anything unlawful, to harass or defame anyone, or to make content that is sexual, hateful or violent. The AI provider's safety rules also apply and may decline some requests. We may close accounts that break these terms.

Availability

This is a small seasonal service. We aim to keep it running through October but do not promise uninterrupted service, and we may change or withdraw it. Unused paid credits will be refunded if the service closes.

Liability

Nothing in these terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer. Beyond those, our liability is limited to the amount you have paid us in the previous twelve months. Carving involves sharp tools; take care, and supervise children.

Law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales.
