Terms of use

Version of 17 October 2026

This is an English translation for your convenience. Only the German version is legally binding.

1. Who we are and what this is about

function (function-clothing.com) is operated by Kamil Ryczko, Werster Straße 151, 32549 Bad Oeynhausen, Germany, email: [email protected] (“we”). These terms apply to the use of the function website and app.

function is a platform where users share outfit photos, an AI detects the clothing items and offers from online shops are shown. Use is free of charge.

2. What function is – and what it isn't

• function is under development. Features may change, be limited or be temporarily unavailable.
• The AI makes suggestions. It may detect clothing items or styles incorrectly.
• For detected pieces, we show links to searches in online shops. Which items, prices and delivery terms are available can only be seen in the respective shop.
• We do not sell anything ourselves. Purchase contracts are concluded only between you and the respective shop.

3. Account

• You can browse without an account. You need an account to post, like and follow.
• You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
• Your information must be accurate. You may not pretend to be someone else.
• Keep your password secret. You are responsible for actions taken via your account insofar as you are at fault.

4. Your content

You may only post photos and texts for which you hold the necessary rights. This means:

• You took the photo yourself or have the permission of the photographer or rights holder. You may not post photos from the internet (e.g. from Pinterest, Instagram or stock photo agencies) without permission.
• Everyone recognisably shown agrees to the publication. For persons under 16, you also need the consent of their parents.

In particular, the following is not permitted:

• illegal content, e.g. insults, incitement, threats or infringements of the rights of others;
• nudity, sexual or violence-glorifying content;
• advertising, spam or content that has nothing to do with clothing and outfits;
• attempts to disrupt or manipulate the platform or to circumvent protective measures such as the automatic check.

5. Rights to your content

Your photos remain yours. So that we can operate function, you grant us a simple, free and worldwide right to store, display, resize and have your content analysed by the AI within function. This right ends as soon as you delete the content or your account is deleted. Technically necessary copies are then removed within a reasonable time.

We only use your content for advertising outside function (e.g. on social media) if you expressly agree beforehand.

If you culpably infringe the rights of third parties with your content, you indemnify us against resulting claims of third parties, including reasonable costs of legal defence.

6. Reporting content

Every post has a “Report” function. With it, anyone – even without an account – can report content they consider illegal or against the rules, e.g. if a photo belongs to them or they appear in it. The report should explain why the content is illegal and include contact details. Alternatively, you can write to the email address above.

We may request proof, e.g. the original file of a photo, a link to the original publication or proof of identity. We confirm receipt and inform you of our decision by email. Anyone who knowingly makes false reports may be excluded from the report function.

7. How we moderate

Automatic check on upload: Before publication, an AI automatically checks every outfit photo and every profile picture. Photos with nudity, sexual content, children as the main person, violence, weapons, extremist or unconstitutional symbols, hate, drugs, personal data or without a connection to fashion are rejected and not published. You see the reason immediately. The AI can make mistakes; if you think your photo was rejected wrongly, write to us at the email address above. We log rejected uploads without the photo in order to detect repeated violations.

Review by a human: Reported content is reviewed by a human. A human, not the AI, always decides on removing published content and suspending accounts. In the event of a violation of laws or these terms, we may – in a graduated and proportionate manner –:

• remove the content or make it invisible,
• warn you,
• suspend your account temporarily or, in the case of serious or repeated violations, permanently,
• delete your account with all content in the case of serious or repeated violations.

If we remove content of yours or suspend your account, we will inform you by email with a statement of reasons (Art. 17 DSA). You can then object by email; we will review the decision again. You may also take legal action.

8. Contact for authorities and users

The single point of contact for authorities and users under Art. 11 and 12 DSA is the email address above. We communicate in German and English.

9. Liability

We are liable without limitation for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health and under the German Product Liability Act. In the case of slight negligence, we are only liable for breach of an essential contractual obligation on whose fulfilment you may rely, and limited to the foreseeable damage typical for this type of contract. Otherwise, liability is excluded.

The linked shops are solely responsible for their content, prices, deliveries and data protection.

10. Account deletion and termination

You can stop using function at any time and request deletion of your account by email. We may terminate use with two weeks' notice; the right to suspend immediately in the case of serious violations remains unaffected.

11. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms if there is an objective reason, e.g. new features or changes in the law. We will inform you about changes on your next visit. The amended terms apply once you agree to them.

12. Final provisions

German law applies. If you are a consumer, mandatory consumer protection provisions of the country in which you have your habitual residence remain unaffected. Should any provision be invalid, the remaining provisions remain valid.
