Terms of Service
Effective November 12, 2026
The short version
- You must be 13 or older to use Kirinoto.
- Your cards are yours. You give us permission to store and show them so Kirinoto can work.
- No pornography, nothing sexual involving minors, no hate, harassment or illegal content. Mark adult or graphic material as sensitive.
- Every card shows its source. Quote fairly and don't pass off other people's work as your own.
- Free keeps your 10 newest cards and its share links last 30 days. Pro keeps everything and can be cancelled anytime.
- We can remove cards and close accounts that break these rules.
These Terms are an agreement between you and Okairo LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Kirinoto”, “we”, “us”). They cover the Kirinoto browser extension, the Kirinoto mobile apps and kirinoto.com (together, the “Service”). By using the Service you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, please don't use Kirinoto.
1. Who can use Kirinoto
You must be at least 13 years old, or older if your country requires a higher age to use online services without a parent's permission. If you use Kirinoto for an organization, you confirm you're allowed to accept these Terms for it. If we learn that someone under 13 has an account, we will delete it.
2. Your account
You sign in with a third-party account such as Google. Keep it secure; you're responsible for what happens under your Kirinoto account. Pick a username that doesn't impersonate anyone or infringe a trademark. We may reclaim usernames that are inactive, misleading or abusive.
3. Your cards and your content
A “card” is what you make with Kirinoto: the piece you clip from a page, your comment, the source and your profile details.
- You own your content. We don't claim ownership of your comments or cards.
- You give us a license to run the Service. You grant Kirinoto a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to store, copy, resize, display and distribute your cards, only as needed to operate, improve and promote Kirinoto: for example to show your card to the people you share it with, on your profile or in the public feed when you post it there. This license ends when you delete the card or your account, except for copies others have already saved or shared, and backups kept for a limited time.
- Private by default. New cards are private. A card becomes visible to others only when you share its link or post it publicly. Anyone with a card's link can open it.
- Featuring on our Instagram (Pro, opt-in). If you turn on “Let Kirinoto feature my cards”, we may repost your cards on Kirinoto's social media accounts, crediting you. You can turn it off anytime, and we'll remove a featured post if you ask.
4. Quoting other people's work
Kirinoto is made for quoting and commenting. Every card shows where its content came from, and that source can't be removed. You are responsible for what you clip. Quote what you need to make your point, don't clip whole works, and don't use Kirinoto to republish content you don't have the right to share. Respect the terms of the sites you clip from.
Copyright complaints. If you believe a card infringes your copyright, email support@kirinoto.com with: the card's link, the work you own, your contact details, a statement that you believe in good faith the use isn't authorized, and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and you're the owner or authorized to act for the owner. We remove infringing cards and close the accounts of repeat infringers. If your card was removed by mistake, you can reply with a counter-notice.
5. What's not allowed
Don't use Kirinoto to create or share:
- Pornography or sexually explicit content of any kind.
- Any sexual content involving minors. We report it to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and to law enforcement, and close the account.
- Hate, threats, harassment, bullying or content that encourages violence or self-harm.
- Private information about other people shared without their permission, such as addresses, phone numbers, private messages or documents.
- Content that's illegal, fraudulent, deceptive or impersonates someone.
- Spam, scams, malware, or attempts to break, overload, scrape or get around the limits of the Service.
Sensitive content. Swearing, crude humor, graphic news or suggestive (non-explicit) material is allowed only when marked as sensitive. Sensitive cards are blurred, hidden from visitors who aren't signed in, and shown only to users who are 18+ and choose to see them. We may add or change the sensitive label ourselves.
Reporting. Every public card and shared link has a Report option. We review reports and may remove content, label it, or suspend or close accounts, with or without notice, when we believe these Terms were broken. Users can also hide cards and block other users.
6. Free and Pro
Free
- Kirinoto keeps your 10 newest cards. Creating a new card when you have 10 removes your oldest one; we warn you before it happens.
- You share cards by link. Free share links work for 30 days, then show an “expired” page.
- Copying or downloading card images, Instagram sharing and card styles are not included.
Pro
- Pro keeps all your cards and share links for as long as your subscription is active, and adds the features listed on our pricing page, such as copy and download, card colors, your photo and links on cards, and the extras we add over time.
- Free trial. New users get Pro free for 5 days, with no payment details required. When the trial ends, your account returns to Free unless you subscribe.
- Billing. Pro is a subscription billed monthly or yearly in advance, at the price shown when you subscribe, plus any applicable taxes. It renews automatically until you cancel. Payments are handled by our payment partner, which may act as the seller of record and whose terms also apply to your purchase.
- Cancelling. You can cancel anytime in your account settings. Pro stays active until the end of the period you paid for. Except where the law requires otherwise, payments are non-refundable and we don't give credits for partial periods.
- When Pro ends, your account returns to Free. Your newest 10 cards stay in your list, and older ones are removed as you create new cards. Links you shared stay up for 30 days from the day Pro ended, then expire.
- Price changes. If we change the price, we'll tell you at least 30 days before it applies to you, and you can cancel before then.
7. The Kirinoto logo on cards
Every card carries the Kirinoto logo and a link back to Kirinoto, on Free and Pro. Don't remove, hide or alter it, and don't use the Kirinoto name or logo in a way that suggests we endorse you. Pro styling appears alongside the Kirinoto logo, not instead of it.
8. The extension and apps
The Kirinoto extension shows a small control on the pages you visit. It only captures what you select when you choose to make a card. You may use the extension and apps for your personal or business use under these Terms, but not copy, modify, resell or reverse-engineer them except where the law allows it. We may update them automatically.
9. Changes and ending
We may change, add or remove features. We may update these Terms; if a change is significant we'll notify you in the app or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use Kirinoto after that means you accept the new Terms.
You can stop using Kirinoto and delete your account at any time in settings. We may suspend or close your account if you break these Terms, if required by law, or if we stop offering the Service; when possible, we'll give you a chance to export your cards first.
10. Disclaimers
Kirinoto is provided “as is” and “as available”. We work hard to keep it running and your cards safe, but we don't promise it will always be available, error-free or that content will never be lost. Cards are created by users; we don't endorse them and aren't responsible for them, or for the websites they quote. To the fullest extent the law allows, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Okairo LLC and its owners, employees and partners won't be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim about the Service is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US $50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not fully apply to you.
12. Indemnity
If someone brings a claim against us because of content you posted or because you broke these Terms, you agree to cover our reasonable costs and losses from that claim, to the extent the law allows.
13. Law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Texas, and you and we consent to those courts. If you live in a country whose consumer laws give you the right to bring claims at home, nothing here takes that right away.
14. Everything else
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about Kirinoto. If a part of them can't be enforced, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a rule right away, we haven't given it up. You can't transfer your account or these Terms to someone else; we may transfer them as part of a merger, sale or reorganization.
