1. Agreement to Terms
These Terms of Service govern your use of the Rethread mobile application ("App") operated by Built by Foundry, Inc., formerly known as Playpen Games, Inc. ("Foundry"). By using the App, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please uninstall the App.Age Requirement: You must be at least 13 years old to use Rethread. If you're 13-17, review these Terms with a parent or guardian.2. About Rethread
Rethread is an iOS application that helps thrifters and sewists photograph any garment, receive three AI-generated flip ideas in Cait Conquers' voice, follow a step-by-step plan for the flip they pick, watch Cait's matching tutorial clip at every step, save flips to a personal workbench, and (for Pro subscribers) unlock unlimited scans and the full saved-flip library.Not Professional Sewing or Safety Advice: Rethread is a creative reference tool. It is not professional sewing instruction, pattern-making advice, or a substitute for working with a qualified sewing teacher. AI-generated flip ideas and step-by-step plans may suggest moves that don't suit your specific fabric, garment construction, sewing machine, or skill level. Always inspect the garment, work in good light with sharp tools, test on a scrap when in doubt, and stop if a step isn't working. Use of scissors, rotary cutters, sewing machines, dyes, bleach, irons, and other tools is at your own risk.
AI Limitations: Flip ideas, step-by-step plans, technique routing, and any other text or recommendation generated inside Rethread are produced by artificial intelligence. They may be incomplete, out of date, or incorrect. They reflect pattern matching against training data, not site-specific expertise on your garment. You are responsible for verifying any output before acting on it.
Cait's Tutorial Videos: Tutorial clips played inside Rethread are the creative work of Cait Trantham (Cait Conquers), licensed for in-app playback only. Following Cait's tutorials is at your own risk and responsibility. Foundry and Cait do not warrant that any technique shown is suitable for your fabric, machine, body, or environment. Always use your own judgment.
