Terms

The short version, in plain language.

What you may do

Read, listen, share links, and enjoy. The Atlas, every story and every diagram here are free to read, and always will be.

Foldsong Pro

Pro opens our own patterns for printing, the whole archive, and the downloads — templates, music and the podcast readings. Reading stays free: the Atlas, every story, every diagram, and the first Foldsong fold, The Broad Hinge.

Pro is a single payment for a fixed period, or for good. It is not a subscription: we do not store your card and nothing renews by itself. When a period ends, access simply stops and nothing is charged.

Access is tied to the email address you paid with. You sign in with a link we send to that address — there is no password to remember.

Automatic renewal. Monthly and yearly plans are sold as subscriptions and renew automatically until you cancel — 7 USD every month, or 59 USD every year. The lifetime plan is a single payment and never renews. At checkout you are asked to tick a box confirming the renewal terms, and we keep a record of that consent. We email you before each renewal (30 days ahead for yearly, 7 days for monthly). You can cancel in one click from your account page. Cancelling does not shorten the period you already paid for — your access runs to the end of it. We do not refund a period that has already begun, so cancel before the renewal date if you want the charge to stop.

Refunds. Access opens the moment you pay, so purchases are final and we do not offer refunds. Two exceptions stand: where the law of your country requires one, and where our payment provider grants one at its own discretion. And if you cannot access what you paid for and we cannot fix it, you get your money back regardless — that is not a refund, it is us not having delivered. Write to hello@foldsong.com either way; we answer.

What is ours

The name Foldsong, the stories we write, the music and recordings we produce, and the design of this site are our work. Please do not republish them as your own. If you would like to use something, write to legal@foldsong.com and ask — we are reasonable.

The crease patterns

We publish crease patterns we have generated or adapted, and we verify that they can be folded flat. We do not use anyone else's photographs of folded models. If you believe we have used something of yours, tell us at legal@foldsong.com and we will act quickly.

The science

We source our claims and correct our mistakes. If you find an error, hello@foldsong.com — we will thank you.
