Terms of service

Acceptance of the Terms of Use

These terms of use are entered into by and between you and Kyotosumi LLC (“Company,” “we,” or “us”). The following terms and conditions, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, “Terms of Use”), govern your access to and use of www.kyotosumi.com, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through it (the “Website”), whether as a guest or a registered user and regardless of the device used.

Please read these Terms of Use carefully before using the Website. By using the Website, you accept and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Website.

By agreeing to these Terms of Use, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your state, province, or country of residence and, if applicable, that you consent to any minor dependents’ use of the Website. If you do not meet these requirements, you must not access or use the Website.

Changes to the Terms of Use

We may revise these Terms of Use at any time in our sole discretion. Changes are effective immediately upon posting and apply to all subsequent access to and use of the Website. Changes to the dispute resolution provisions in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to disputes of which the parties have actual notice on or before the posting date. Your continued use of the Website after revised Terms of Use are posted means you accept the changes, so please check this page regularly.

Services

The Website allows users to browse, view, and purchase products (“Products”). We provide content to complement our Products (“Product Content”) for informational purposes only, and we may change, delete, or update Products, Product Content, pricing, and availability at any time without notice. Photos, videos, and other images of Products are illustrative; the actual Product may vary. Because our garments are individually dyed, subtle variation in tone and finish is inherent to the craft, and the color you see also depends on your display, so we cannot guarantee that your screen accurately reflects any Product. Inclusion of a Product on the Website does not guarantee its availability.

Accessing the Website and Account Security

We reserve the right to withdraw or amend the Website, and any service or material we provide, in our sole discretion without notice, and we will not be liable if all or part of the Website is unavailable at any time. We may restrict access to some or all of the Website at any time, including to registered users. You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary to access the Website and for ensuring that anyone who accesses it through your connection is aware of and complies with these Terms of Use.

Creating an account requires your first name, last name, email address, and a password. It is a condition of your use of the Website that all information you provide is correct, current, and complete, and all such information is governed by our Privacy Policy. You must keep your password confidential, must not share account access, and must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or other breach of security. Exit your account at the end of each session and use caution on public or shared computers. We may disable any password or account at any time in our sole discretion, including if we believe you have violated these Terms of Use.

Copyright Policy

We respect the intellectual property of others and ask that Website users do the same. We have adopted a policy providing for the removal of infringing materials and, in appropriate circumstances, termination of the accounts of repeat infringers. If you believe a Website user is infringing a copyright and wish to have the allegedly infringing material removed, provide a written notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) to our designated copyright agent containing:

your physical or electronic signature;
identification of the copyrighted work(s) you claim have been infringed;
identification of the material on our Website that you claim is infringing and request that we remove;
sufficient information for us to locate the material;
your address, telephone number, and email address;
a statement of your good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any material misrepresentation in a written notification subjects the complaining party to liability for damages, costs, and attorneys’ fees we incur in connection with the notification. Our designated copyright agent may be reached at: Kyotosumi LLC, Attn: Copyright Agent, hello@kyotosumi.com. It is the Company’s policy to terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.
