Clothster — Terms of Service

Draft v1.2 — 2026-05-08. Locked pending founder review and a real attorney sign-off before public sign-ups.

Effective date: [DATE — requires 30-day notice to existing users before activation] Version: 1.2

1. What these terms cover

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legal agreement between you and Vynt Technology OÜ, registered in Estonia (Commercial Registry code 16945271), Aiandi 16/2, Tallinn, Estonia. Vynt Technology OÜ operates the Clothster website and service at https://clothster.app ("Clothster" or "the service").

By creating an account, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

2. Who can use Clothster

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. We chose 16 as the global minimum because:

• The EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets 16 as the default age of digital consent.
• COPPA (US) sets 13, but the nature of Clothster — uploading face and body photos processed by AI — creates heightened risk for younger users that a higher age floor mitigates.

By creating an account, you confirm you are at least 16 years old.

One account per person. Accounts are for individual humans. You may not create multiple accounts, share account credentials, or operate an account on behalf of another person. You must provide truthful information at signup.

3. What Clothster does

Clothster is a wardrobe-based outfit recommendation service. You upload photos of your clothing and a reference photo of yourself. Our AI assembles outfit combinations and generates a rendered image showing how the outfit would look on you.

How tiers work:

• Free accounts receive a pool of generation credits (currently 10 at signup, with 1 credit refilled every 24 hours, up to a maximum of 10). All outfit images generated by free accounts are anonymized (your face and identifying marks are obscured) and published on Clothster's public feed. You cannot remove your generations from the public feed while on the free tier. This public visibility is part of the value exchange for free access.

• Subscriber accounts pay a recurring fee and receive a higher or unlimited generation allowance. Current pricing, billing cycles, and applicable taxes are shown on the pricing page and again at Stripe checkout before any payment is taken. Subscribers can choose at the time of each generation whether to keep the result private (full likeness preserved, not published to the public feed) or public (anonymized and published, same as free). Subscribers can also remove their own generations from the public feed.

4. Your content and our license to use it

4.1 You retain ownership

You own your photos, prompts, and generated images ("Your Content"). Uploading a photo, entering a prompt, or generating an outfit does not transfer ownership to Clothster.

4.2 License you grant to Clothster

By uploading content or using the service, you grant Clothster (and its affiliates and sublicensees) a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, copy, store, modify, create derivative works from, display, distribute, and otherwise process Your Content for the following purposes:

(a) Providing the service

• Process Your Content through our AI pipeline to generate outfit renders. This includes sending your photos and prompts to our AI sub-processor — see our Privacy Policy for details.
• Store Your Content on our servers for as long as your account is active, and for the retention periods described in our Privacy Policy after deletion.
• Anonymize your likeness for public generations — obscuring your face, tattoos, birthmarks, and other identifying marks.
• Display anonymized output on Clothster's public feed (free tier) or store it privately (subscriber tier, if you choose private).
• Transcode and optimize images for delivery (format conversion, compression, resizing).

(b) Improving and training our technology

• Train, fine-tune, evaluate, and improve Clothster's outfit-recommendation engine, item-description models, and related AI systems using Your Content, including content you have deleted (in de-identified form only — see Section 4.4).
• This includes use of Your Content where Clothster licenses its technology to other companies (for example, a clothing retailer using our outfit-matching engine on their own site). In that scenario, your individual photos are not shared with those companies — only the trained models and systems that learned from aggregate inputs.

(c) Aggregate and anonymized data products

• Create, use, and share aggregate, anonymized, and de-identified data derived from Your Content and your use of the service. Examples include item-category co-occurrence statistics, style-trend reports, and engagement patterns across the user base.
• This aggregate data does not identify you personally. Clothster may share or sell these aggregate insights to third parties, such as fashion brands and trend-forecasting services.
• For clarity: aggregate data is statistical information about patterns across many users. It does not include your individual photos, your name, or any information that could reasonably be used to identify you.

4.3 Duration of the license

• For identifiable content (your photos, your likeness, your prompts): this license lasts for as long as your account is active, plus the retention windows described in Section 10 and our Privacy Policy. When you delete your account, this license ends for your identifiable content, subject to those retention windows.
• For de-identified and aggregate derivatives (trained model weights, aggregate statistics, anonymized trend data): because these outputs are no longer linked to you and cannot practically be separated from the models or datasets they are part of, the license for these derivatives continues after account deletion. You cannot "un-train" a model. However, once you delete your account, we will not use your identifiable content to create new derivatives.

4.4 Your data-protection rights are preserved

Nothing in this Section 4 overrides your rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or other applicable data-protection law. In particular:

• You may withdraw consent for processing of your personal data at any time under GDPR Article 7(3). Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing that happened before you withdrew.
• You may request erasure of your personal data under GDPR Article 17. We will honor valid erasure requests as described in our Privacy Policy and DSR Process.
• Erasure applies to your identifiable personal data. It does not require us to delete aggregate, anonymized, or de-identified data that is no longer linked to you, because that data is not personal data under the GDPR.

If there is a conflict between a broad license grant in this section and a specific right you hold under data-protection law, your data-protection right prevails.

4.5 License to other users

You grant other users the right to view your public generations on the feed and share them via their URLs. Public generations are accessible by anyone with the link.

5. License from Clothster to you

Clothster grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to:

• View and download your own generated images for personal use.
• Share generated images publicly (they are already anonymized for public generations).

You may not use generated images for commercial purposes, resale, or to train AI models without separate written permission from Clothster.

6. Subscription terms

• Pricing: Current subscription prices, billing cycles (monthly or annual), and applicable taxes are shown on the pricing page and confirmed at Stripe checkout before any charge is taken. The price you accept at checkout is the price that applies for that billing cycle.
• Billing: Subscriptions are processed through Stripe. By subscribing, you authorize Clothster (via Stripe) to charge your payment method on a recurring basis at the cycle you selected.
• Cancellation: You may cancel at any time through your account. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current paid period — you retain subscriber benefits until then. No partial-period refunds.
• Downgrade behavior: When a subscription ends, your account reverts to free-tier rules. Existing private generations remain accessible by direct URL but are not retroactively published to the public feed. New generations follow free-tier rules (anonymized, public).
• Refunds: Clothster does not offer refunds for partial billing periods. For technical render failures, see Section 7.
• Price changes: If we change subscription prices, current subscribers are notified by email at least 30 days before the new price applies to their next renewal. You may cancel before the new price takes effect.

7. Generation credits and render failures

• Each generation consumes one credit from your pool.
• Technical failure refund: If a generation fails due to a technical error on our side (server error, AI service outage, storage failure), we automatically refund the credit to your pool. You do not need to take any action.
• Content policy block — no refund: If the AI provider's safety system rejects your prompt because it violates content policies, the credit is not refunded. The rejection means your request contained content that our AI provider will not process.

8. Acceptable use

You agree not to use Clothster to:

• Upload or generate content that is sexually explicit, pornographic, or depicts minors in any inappropriate context.
• Upload photos of people other than yourself as your self-photo reference without their explicit consent.
• Upload photos depicting anyone under 16 years old.
• Attempt to generate images that could be used for identity theft, impersonation, fraud, or to create non-consensual intimate imagery of real people.
• Circumvent or attempt to bypass the anonymization applied to public generations — including crafting prompts designed to override anonymization instructions.
• Harass, threaten, defame, or discriminate against any person.
• Upload content that infringes intellectual property rights.
• Create multiple accounts to abuse free-tier generation credits.
• Use automated tools (bots, scrapers, scripts) to interact with Clothster without our written permission.
• Reverse-engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract source code from Clothster.
• Use Clothster for any purpose that violates applicable law.

9. Anonymization disclaimer

Public generations are anonymized using AI-driven techniques within a single image generation call. Anonymization is best-effort, not guaranteed. While our system is designed to obscure your face, tattoos, birthmarks, and other identifying marks, AI-based anonymization may occasionally produce output that retains some identifying features. By using the free tier (which publishes to the public feed), you acknowledge and accept this residual risk.

If you require guaranteed privacy for your generated images, subscribe to a paid plan and select the "private" option at generation time.

10. Content moderation and removal

Clothster moderates content using a combination of automated AI checks and human admin review.

• Automated flagging: Uploaded photos and generated outputs are checked by AI moderation systems. Content that triggers a safety flag is queued for human review and may be temporarily restricted.
• Admin review: A human admin reviews flagged content and decides whether to approve or remove it.
• Removal outcomes: Content removed by admin action transitions to a deleted state. Removed content is retained for 90 days to support appeals, then permanently purged.
• User-initiated deletion (subscribers): Subscribers can delete their own generations through the app. Deleted content is retained for 30 days for accidental-deletion recovery, then permanently purged.
• Free-tier removal: Free-tier users cannot delete generations through the app. To request removal of specific content, contact us at clothster@vynt.eu (subject: "Content removal request"). See our DSR Process or Privacy Policy for details. We respond within 30 calendar days.
• Appeals: If your content is removed by admin action, you may appeal by contacting clothster@vynt.eu (subject: "Moderation appeal"). Appeals are reviewed within 90 days of the removal. Content is retained during this window specifically to enable re-review.

11. AI-generated content disclaimer

Outfit images generated by Clothster are produced by artificial intelligence. They are creative approximations, not photographs. Clothster does not guarantee that generated images accurately represent how clothing will look in real life, that color rendering is accurate, or that outfit combinations are suitable for any particular occasion.

Generated images may occasionally contain visual artifacts, inaccurate proportions, or unrealistic details. This is inherent to current AI image generation technology.

Clothster is not responsible for decisions you make based on generated outfit images (purchases, outfit choices, etc.).

12. Termination and suspension

By you: You may close your account at any time by contacting clothster@vynt.eu (subject: "Account deletion"). Account deletion triggers the erasure process described in our Privacy Policy.

By Clothster: We may suspend or terminate your account if you violate these Terms, particularly the acceptable use rules. We will notify you by email with the reason, except where prohibited by law or where notice would compromise an investigation.

On termination:

• Your access to Clothster ceases.
• Your content enters the applicable retention window (30 days for user-deleted, 90 days for admin-deleted), after which it is permanently purged.
• Your license to use Clothster ends.

13. Limitation of liability

13.1 No warranty

Clothster is provided "as is" and "as available." To the maximum extent permitted by law, we make no warranties — express or implied — including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

13.2 Liability cap

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Clothster's total monetary liability to you for any and all claims arising from or related to your use of the service is zero (EUR 0). This means we do not owe you monetary compensation for service issues, except where the law requires otherwise (see Section 13.4).

13.3 No indirect damages

Clothster is not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of data, loss of profits, or reputational harm.

13.4 What the law does not let us limit

Some types of liability cannot legally be excluded, no matter what a contract says. These Terms do not limit Clothster's liability for:

• Harm we cause through our own negligence: if Clothster's negligence causes death or personal injury.
• Dishonesty: fraud or intentional misconduct by Clothster or anyone acting on our behalf.
• Product-liability laws: to the extent those laws apply to the service.
• Your mandatory consumer rights: the consumer-protection laws of your country of residence may grant you rights that no contract can reduce.

In plain terms: Section 13.4 only applies when Clothster itself did something wrong — was negligent, dishonest, or broke a law that specifically protects you. It does not create open-ended liability for anything that happens while you use the service.

14. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold Clothster harmless from claims, damages, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from: (a) your violation of these Terms, (b) your uploaded content, (c) your use of generated images in violation of these Terms, or (d) your violation of any third-party rights.

This indemnity does not apply to the extent that the claim arises from Clothster's own negligence or willful misconduct.

15. Governing law and jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by the laws of Estonia, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of Clothster is subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Estonia, except as stated below.

For EU users: You retain any mandatory consumer protection rights granted by the law of your country of residence. Nothing in these Terms reduces those rights. You may bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.

EU Online Dispute Resolution: The European Commission provides an online dispute resolution platform at https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr. We are not obligated to participate in dispute resolution before a consumer arbitration body but will consider requests in good faith.

For US users: Any disputes not resolved informally will be resolved in the courts of Estonia, except where applicable law requires otherwise.

16. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do:

• We will post the revised Terms with a new effective date.
• For material changes, we will notify you by email at least 30 days before the changes take effect.
• For professional/business users of Clothster (if applicable in the future): we will provide at least 15 days' notice per the EU Platform-to-Business Regulation (2019/1150).
• Continued use of Clothster after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree with a change, you may close your account before the effective date.

17. Trademarks

Vynt is a registered trademark of Vynt Technology OÜ (EUIPO #019193233). Clothster is a trade name of Vynt Technology OÜ. All other trademarks, service marks, and trade names referenced on the service are the property of their respective owners.

You may not use the Vynt or Clothster names, logos, or marks without prior written permission, except as necessary to identify the service in non-commercial commentary.
