Monthly Delivery

Crochet Surprise is a monthly recurring subscription box, similar to a magazine subscription. Each month, a Crochet Surprise box will be delivered to your doorstep. The box will contain a crochet pattern, yarn and all other materials* required to complete the monthly crochet project. It will also contain a select bag of premium loose leaf tea. Subscriptions can be purchased on a monthly or annual plan.

There is also the option to purchase Crochet Surprise as a gift for someone. Gifts can be bought in increments of 1, 3, 6 or 12 months and are charged as one off payments and will not become a recurring payment.

*Crochet hooks are not included. Accordingly, Crochet Surprise cannot guarantee that a selection available in a particular timeframe will be available in any subsequent timeframe.

BY SUBSCRIBING YOU AGREE TO PAY THE MONTH TO MONTH OR 12 MONTH PREPAY SUBSCRIPTION FEE FOR THE PRODUCTS THAT ARE SUPPLIED EACH MONTH.


Billing and Payments

All information that you provide to register with Crochet Surprise including your credit card information is subject to Crochet Surprise's Privacy Policy. The price of the Services and/or goods is payable in full before delivery. We accept the following credit cards at this time: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. You will automatically be charged each month for your ongoing subscription. If you select to pay annually, then you will automatically be charged each year for your ongoing subscription. For your convenience and continuous subscription benefits as a member, if your payment method reaches its expiration date and you do not edit your credit card information or cancel your account, you authorize us to continue billing that credit card on file including extending the expiration date until we are notified by you or the credit card company that the account is no longer valid. We encourage you to constantly update your payment method information or cancel your account should you wish to discontinue your month to month or 12 month prepay purchase of Products.

We use a third party payment service in lieu of directly processing your credit card information. By submitting your credit card information, you grant Crochet Surprise the right to store and process your information with the third party payment service, which it may change from time to time; you agree that Crochet Surprise will not be responsible for any failures of the third party to adequately protect such information. All financial matters regarding your information are subject to the conditions of the third party payment service provider's terms of service; we currently use Stripe as our third party payment service provider https://stripe.com/. You acknowledge that we may change the third party payment service and move your information to other service providers that encrypt your information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) or other comparable security technology.

Shipping and Risk of Loss

Unless otherwise indicated at the time of your purchase, shipping and handling fees are included with your order. Shipping dates and/or arrival times are only estimates. For loss/damage claims, you must notify Crochet Surprise within 30 days of the date of your purchase if you believe all or part of your order is missing or damaged.

Replacement of Products and credits to your account for shipped merchandise claimed as not received are subject to our investigation, which may include postal-service notification. We will adjust your account at our discretion. Repeated claims of undelivered merchandise may result in the cancellation of your membership.

Local Taxes

You may be charged local sales tax or VAT, if applicable.

International Access

This Website may be accessed from countries other than the United States. This Website and the Services may contain products or references to products that are only available within the United States and U.S. territories. Any such references do not imply that such products will be made available outside the United States. If you access and use this Website outside the United States you are responsible for complying with your local laws and regulations.

Membership Cancellations (Cancellation Policy)

If you are not completely satisfied with Crochet Surprise, you can cancel your membership and discontinue your monthly or annual payments at any time.

You can cancel your Crochet Surprise month to month or 12 month prepay recurring payment at any time. Gift orders can not be canceled. In order to cancel your recurring payment, simply log into your account in our members area (https://www.crochetsurprise.com/login), select your subscription and then click cancel. The cancellation of your month to month or 12 month prepay recurring payments will take effect just before your next rebill date as you have paid up until that point. This means you will still have access to our members area until that point. For month to month plans, if you have been rebilled prior to cancelling your payment, you will receive that month's box. After cancelling your recurring payment, you will cease to be re-billed and therefore your box will not be shipped the following month.

For the 12 month prepay plan, when you cancel your plan, you will not be re-billed on your subscription anniversary. You will however continue to receive your Crochet Surprise box each month until all of your 12 prepaid boxes have been shipped. There will be no prorated refunds issued.
