Terms of Use

Last updated June 9, 2026

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Toxome LLC, a New York limited liability company (“Toxome,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), governing your access to and use of the website located at toxome.app(the “Site”), the Toxome iOS application (the “App”), the Toxome browser extension (the “Extension”), and the related features and content we make available (collectively, the “Services”).

By creating an account, downloading or using the App or the Extension, or accessing the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Services.

1. The Services

The App enables you to scan a garment label and view its fibre composition together with a Toxome Rating (the “Rating”) summarising the hazard profile of those fibres. The Site provides a curated retail selection of lower-toxicity apparel and home goods, together with editorial content, a closet dashboard, and related recommendations.

The Rating represents Toxome's informed opinion, derived from published research concerning textile chemistry. The Rating does not constitute medical advice or diagnosis, does not represent a determination that any item is safe or unsafe for you, and is not a substitute for the advice of a qualified physician, dermatologist, or other professional. You should treat the Rating as one factor among others, and not as a definitive verdict.

2. Eligibility

You must be at least thirteen (13) years of age, and of the age of majority and legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction of residence (in most jurisdictions, eighteen (18)), in order to use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of an entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorised to bind that entity to these Terms.

3. Accounts

You are responsible for all activity occurring under your account. You agree to provide accurate information, to maintain the confidentiality of your sign-in credentials, and not to permit any other person to use your account. Accounts are limited to one per person. You must promptly notify us at nyah@toxome.app of any unauthorised use of your account.

4. Acceptable Use

You may use the Services to scan garments, maintain your closet, browse the catalogue, follow affiliate links to participating brands, and share images of your closet score on social media. You shall not:

scrape, harvest, or extract the catalogue, editorial content, or Ratings in bulk, each of which is proprietary to Toxome;
use the Services to impersonate any person, harass any user, or engage in any unlawful activity;
reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the App or the scoring methodology, or probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of our systems without our prior written authorisation (security vulnerabilities may be reported to nyah@toxome.app, which we welcome); or
resell, sublicense, rebrand, or otherwise commercialise the Services or any feature thereof as your own product.

5. Premium Subscriptions

Certain features of the App (including the full closet score, fibre breakdown, and personalised recommendations) are available only through a paid subscription (“Toxome Premium”), sold through the Apple App Store. By purchasing a subscription, you agree that:

you will be charged the price displayed at checkout, billed to your Apple ID;
your subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing period until cancelled, and you may cancel only through your Apple ID subscription settings, and not through Toxome;
any free trial offered will convert into a paid subscription unless cancelled before the trial period ends; and
refunds are administered by Apple in accordance with App Store policy, and Toxome does not issue refunds directly.

We may modify subscription pricing or the features included in Toxome Premium. We will provide notice before any such change applies to your subscription.

6. Affiliate Links

The Site contains affiliate links. Where you follow such a link and complete a purchase, the relevant brand may pay Toxome a commission at no additional cost to you. Such commissions do not influence the products we include, the Ratings we assign, or the order in which products are presented. We disclose affiliate links adjacent to the relevant purchase action.

7. User Content

As between you and Toxome, you retain ownership of the photographs you submit, the items in your closet, and your wishlist (“User Content”). You grant Toxome a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, store, process, and display User Content for the purpose of providing the Services to you, and to use de-identified, aggregated data derived from User Content to operate and improve the Services. We will not sell your User Content, and we will not use your likeness or identifiable images for marketing purposes without your express consent.

8. Intellectual Property

All right, title, and interest in and to the Services, including the Toxome name and logo, the Rating methodology, the editorial content, the design, and the curated catalogue (collectively, and excluding User Content), are owned by or licensed to Toxome and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may access and share such content for personal, non-commercial purposes only. You shall not reproduce it in whole, use it to train machine-learning models, or represent it as your own.

9. Third-Party Brands and Products

Brands featured on the Site are independent of Toxome and are not operated by us. We curate, but do not warehouse or sell, their products. Where you purchase from a linked brand, your order, payment, shipping, returns, and warranties are governed by, and are the responsibility of, that brand. You should direct any issue with an order to the relevant brand in the first instance. We may, but are not obligated to, assist you, and we do not guarantee any resolution.

10. Suspension and Termination

You may cease using the Services and delete your account at any time, as described in our Privacy Policy. We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services, with or without notice, if you breach these Terms, misuse the Services, or expose Toxome to legal or operational risk. Where reasonable, we will provide notice and an opportunity to cure. Those provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including Sections 8, 11, 12, 13, and 14) shall survive.

11. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Toxome does not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, error-free, or accurate. The Rating is an opinion and not a guarantee; a lower Rating does not mean that an item is free of risk, and a higher Rating does not mean that an item is unsafe to wear.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, TOXOME AND ITS OFFICERS, MEMBERS, AND PERSONNEL SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. TOXOME'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO TOXOME IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIFTY UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$50). Some jurisdictions do not permit the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in such jurisdictions, the foregoing limitations apply to the fullest extent permitted by law.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Toxome and its officers, members, and personnel from and against any claim, liability, damage, loss, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or relating to your use of the Services or your breach of these Terms. This obligation does not apply to claims arising from Toxome's own wilful misconduct or gross negligence.

14. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. In the event of a dispute, you agree first to attempt to resolve it informally by contacting us at nyah@toxome.app. If the dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days, it shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, and the parties consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

15. Apple-Specific Terms

The App is licensed, not sold, to you, and that licence is subject to these Terms. Toxome, and not Apple, is solely responsible for the App and its content. Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services with respect to the App, and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Apple has no warranty obligation with respect to the App. Apple is a third-party beneficiary of these Terms and may enforce them against you as a third-party beneficiary. Your use of the App must comply with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, which apply in addition to these Terms.

16. General

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Toxome regarding the Services and supersede all prior agreements and understandings. If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any provision shall not constitute a waiver of that provision. You may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. Toxome shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance resulting from causes beyond its reasonable control. Any notice to Toxome under these Terms must be sent to nyah@toxome.app.

17. Changes to these Terms

We may amend these Terms from time to time. Where we make a material change, we will notify you through the Services or by email before the change takes effect. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page indicates the current version. Your continued use of the Services following the effective date of any change constitutes your acceptance of the amended Terms.

18. Contact

These Terms are issued by Toxome LLC, a limited liability company registered in the State of New York. Questions, requests, and legal notices may be directed to nyah@toxome.app.
