2. Description of Service
ElfCrafter.com is an independent Between Worlds project offering a Christmas elf builder, locally saved elf collection, printables, personalized stories, games, a fictional North Pole tracker, and an Advent calendar. No account or signup is required. This is imaginative play, not a real location or surveillance service.

4. Intellectual Property Rights
4.1 Website Content
All content on ElfCrafter.com, including but not limited to text, graphics, logos, images, videos, tutorials, designs, and software, is the property of ElfCrafter.com or its content suppliers and is protected by international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
4.2 Limited License
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Website for personal, family, and non-commercial classroom purposes. Craft projects created using our tutorials and templates may be made for personal use or gift-giving. Commercial reproduction or sale of our designs requires express written permission.
4.3 Trademarks
"ElfCrafter" and associated logos are trademarks of ElfCrafter.com. You may not use these trademarks without prior written consent.
5. User-Generated Content
5.1 Local Creations
Elf designs and progress are saved in your browser, not in a public gallery or ElfCrafter account. Names used in stories and printables are processed locally. The site has no public comments, profile uploads, or submission service.
5.2 Backups and Sharing
Keep a private backup before changing devices or clearing browser storage. We cannot restore data that only existed on your device. Appearance-only share links omit names and collection IDs. Private backups and printed pages may contain names you entered; share them thoughtfully.
5.3 Permanent Passport Awards
Once saved, stamps and the original North Pole Passport do not expire or reset with a new season. Future Passport editions will be separate. This does not make browser storage permanent: restore a backup if local data is lost.
