Terms of Service

1. Acceptance

By creating an account, using the Costori app, or using the Costori website (together, “the service”), you agree to these Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the service.

2. The service

Costori is a cosplay planner: a mobile app and a website that help you capture ideas, plan builds with checklists and references, track progress, and manage events. If you want to, you can also publish a public portfolio page to show your cosplays to others (section 7). The service is for your personal, non-commercial use.

3. Your account

• Provide accurate information when you sign up, and keep it up to date.
• Keep your credentials safe. You’re responsible for activity that happens under your account.
• One account per person, please.

4. Your content

You own your content. Your cosplays, photos, notes, and everything else you create in Costori remain yours. You grant us only the limited license we need to run the service: to store, process, and display that content back to you; to show the parts you choose to publish on your public portfolio page, to anyone who visits it, for as long as they stay published; and to pass a reference image or your question to our AI provider, Google Gemini, only when you have switched on Tori and explicitly asked her for something. We claim no other rights to your work.

You’re responsible for the content you add, and you confirm you have the right to upload it.

5. Free plan and Tori limits

Costori is free. Everything you need to plan and track your cosplays stays free, with no limit on how many cosplays you keep.

Tori, the planning assistant, is free to use within limits: 5 build plans a week and 5 chat messages a day. They reset at midnight in your time zone (build plans on Monday). We may change these limits over time, and we may limit or suspend access to Tori if it is misused (for example, with automated requests).

6. Costori Pro subscription

Costori Pro is an optional subscription that adds extra features on top of the free plan. Today it includes:

• Tori without the free limits (a generous fair-use cap still applies, to protect the service from automated misuse).
• Calendar sync on iPhone: your events and deadlines added to a calendar on your device.
• Portfolio extras: more page themes, your social links, view counts, the option to hide the “Made with Costori” badge, and as many cosplays on your page as you like (the free plan shows up to 3).

How the subscription works:

• Plans and prices. Pro is offered monthly or yearly. In the United States it costs $4.99 a month or $34.99 a year. Prices in other countries vary and are shown in the app, in your local currency, before you buy.
• Free trial. The yearly plan comes with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. If you don’t cancel before the trial ends, the yearly price is charged when it ends. Any unused part of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription.
• Billing. Payment is handled by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play), depending on where you subscribe, and charged to that store account. Their terms apply to the purchase.
• Automatic renewal. Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each period, at the then-current price, unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the period ends.
• Managing and cancelling. You can manage or cancel your subscription any time in your App Store or Google Play account settings. When you cancel, Pro stays active until the end of the period you’ve paid for. Deleting the app or your Costori account does not cancel the subscription; please cancel it in your store settings.
• Refunds. Refunds are handled by Apple or Google under their own refund policies. We can’t issue refunds for store purchases ourselves.
• When Pro ends. You keep everything you created. Pro features stop: Tori goes back to the free limits, calendar sync pauses (entries already in your calendar stay there), and your portfolio page shows your first 3 cosplays with the free layout. Nothing is deleted, and it all comes back if you subscribe again.
• Changes. Pro features may change over time as the service evolves. If we change the price, Apple or Google will tell you in advance, as their rules require, and you can cancel before the new price applies.

7. Public portfolio pages

You can choose to publish a portfolio page at costori.app/cosplayer/<your handle>. It is off by default. You decide what appears on it, and you can unpublish a cosplay or switch the whole page off at any time. Deleting your account deletes your page.

• It’s public. Anyone with the link can see what you publish. Search engines may also show your page unless you turn on “Hide from search engines”. Changes can take a few minutes to show up, and copies already saved by others or by search engines are outside our control.
• Only publish what you have the right to share. Use your own photos, or photos you have permission to use. Don’t post other people’s copyrighted images without permission, and don’t post photos of other people who haven’t agreed to it.
• Keep it kind and lawful. No illegal, hateful, harassing, or sexually explicit content, and never any sexual content involving minors. Don’t pretend to be someone else.
• Handles. Your handle must not be offensive, misleading, or impersonate another person, brand, or Costori itself. Some handles are reserved. We may reclaim or change a handle that breaks these rules. If you change your handle, your old link stops working right away and someone else can take it.
• Reports and removal. Anyone can report a page with “Report this page”. We may remove content, hide a page, or suspend portfolio access when something breaks these terms, and we may do so without notice when the content is clearly harmful.

8. Acceptable use

• Don’t upload or share unlawful content, or content you have no right to use.
• Don’t abuse, overload, or interfere with the service, or try to access other people’s accounts or data.
• Don’t reverse engineer, scrape, or resell the service.

9. Objectionable content and abusive behavior

There is zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. Objectionable content includes sexually explicit material, graphic violence, content that harasses or promotes hatred against any person or group, and anything unlawful.

Your cosplays, photos, and notes are private and visible only to you, unless you choose to publish some of them on your public portfolio page. There is no feed or public comments. If you encounter content you consider objectionable, including anything Tori writes, report it from the … menu on the item, from Profile → About & support → Report objectionable content, or, for a portfolio page, with “Report this page” at the bottom of that page.

We act on every report within 24 hours. Where a report is upheld we remove the content and terminate the account responsible for it.

10. Availability and liability

The service is provided “as is”. We work hard to keep it running well, but we can’t promise it will always be available, error-free, or unchanged. Features may evolve, be paused, or be discontinued. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, our liability arising from your use of the service is limited, and we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or affects mandatory consumer rights you hold under the law of your country of residence.

11. Termination

You can stop using Costori and delete your account at any time (Profile → Account & security → Delete account). If you have Costori Pro, cancel it in your App Store or Google Play settings too, because deleting your account does not stop the subscription. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms or abuse the service; where reasonable, we’ll warn you first.

12. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the service evolves. When we do, we’ll update this page and its effective date, and for meaningful changes we’ll let you know in the app or by email. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
