Terms of use

Who runs Shiori

Shiori is run by Giuseppe Casillo. You can reach us at [email protected]. Shiori is a beta service provided free of charge.

Who can use it

You must be at least 14 years old to create an account. You can browse the catalog without one. By creating an account you confirm your age and that the information you give is accurate.

Your account

Keep your sign-in details and verification codes private, and tell us if you think someone else has access. You are responsible for what happens under your account. You can delete your account at any time from your profile; see the Privacy notice for what that removes.

What Shiori is

Shiori helps you discover anime and keep a personal list. It does not host or stream episodes. Catalog data, images and viewing links come from third parties, may be incomplete or wrong, and are not a guarantee of availability in your region. The service is a beta: features change, and it can be unavailable without notice.

Voluntary support

You can choose to leave a tip for Shiori on Buy Me a Coffee. It is voluntary and gives no extra features, priority or service. The payment is handled by Buy Me a Coffee under its own terms, so questions about a payment go to Buy Me a Coffee first; you can also contact us.

Your content

You keep the rights to what you write (display name, bio, comments, support messages) and to any avatar you uploaded earlier. You allow Shiori to store it and show it to other members according to the visibility you choose, only to run the service. You promise that you have the right to share it and that it does not break the law or anyone else’s rights.

What you must not do

• Post illegal, hateful, harassing, sexual or violent content, or content that exploits minors. This also applies to display names, including sexual or obscene terms and explicit sexual ASCII art.
• Impersonate others, spam, or collect other members’ data.
• Try to access accounts, staff tools or systems you are not authorized to use, or disturb the service (for example automated scraping or overload).
• Use Shiori to break the terms of the services it links to.

Reports and moderation

Anyone can report content or a member, with or without an account: see Contact & support. Staff review reports, can remove content and can suspend accounts that break these terms. If your content or account is affected and you have not been told why, write to us through support or the contact address to ask for the reason and a review.

Suspension and ending

You can stop using Shiori and delete your account whenever you like. We may suspend or remove an account that breaks these terms or puts others at risk, and we may change or end the service; we will try to give notice and a chance to export your data first.

Liability

Shiori is provided “as is” during the beta. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss caused by outages, third-party data or content posted by members. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer or liability that cannot be excluded by law.

Changes and law

We may update these terms; the date above shows the latest version, and we will say so on the site when a change matters. Italian law applies, without removing the protection of the mandatory consumer law of your country of residence.
