Awl & Stitch Terms of Use

Last updated: November 7, 2026. By using awlandstitch.com, you agree to these terms. We've written them in plain English on purpose — they should be readable, not a wall of legalese.

Acceptance of terms

If you don't agree with these terms, please don't use the site. If we change the terms, the new version goes on this page with an updated "Last updated" date, and continuing to use the site after that means you accept the changed terms.

Using the site

You're welcome to read, link to, and quote short portions of Awl & Stitch with attribution and a link. The guides are for your personal, non-commercial use. Please don't republish pages wholesale, scrape the site in bulk, or present our content as your own.

No professional advice

Everything on this site is general information about leathercraft tools and shopping, not professional advice of any kind — legal, financial, tax, customs-broker, or safety. Two practical notes:

• Tools can hurt you. Awls, knives, edge bevelers, and mallets have sharp and heavy parts. Follow the manufacturer's safety guidance, use proper technique, and keep guards and cutting mats between you and the blade. Your hands are your responsibility.
• Import and duty information is research, not customs advice. Duty and import-charge rules change, and your exact cost depends on the item, its value, and the carrier. The total shown at AliExpress checkout — and, when in doubt, a licensed customs broker — is authoritative. Our guides describe ranges and context; they don't predict your exact charges.

Prices and availability

Prices, discounts, shipping costs, delivery estimates, stock levels, and ratings on AliExpress change constantly — sometimes daily. We date every price we publish ("at time of writing") and re-check money pages on a schedule, but we can't guarantee a price or stock status at your moment of purchase. The product listing at checkout is always the authoritative source. We are not responsible for price changes, order problems, or any loss connected to a purchase you make through our links.

Trademarks

Brand names such as WUTA, MOZHE, JOTUN, and Beagle appear on this site for identification and reference only — to tell you which tool we're discussing. That's nominative fair use. Awl & Stitch is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any tool manufacturer or seller, and no such relationship should be implied. All trademarks belong to their respective owners. "Awl & Stitch" is our name.

Affiliate relationships

We earn commissions on qualifying purchases made through affiliate links on this site, at no extra cost to the buyer. Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" so their commercial nature is visible to browsers and search engines. Commissions never buy a ranking, a "best" label, or positive coverage — the details are in our affiliate disclosure.

Limitation of liability

The site is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Awl & Stitch and its operators are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any decisions or purchases made based on the site's content. If a court ever finds us liable despite this, our total liability is limited to $100 USD — which, since the site is free to use, is also the most you've paid us.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site evolves. Changes take effect when posted here with a new "Last updated" date. Material changes will be easy to spot because this page is short.
