For purposes of these Terms of Use, co-branding means to display a name, logo, trademark, or other means of attribution or identification of any party in such a manner as is reasonably likely to give a user the impression that such other party has the right to display, publish, or distribute this site or content accessible within this site. You agree to cooperate with CW to prevent or remedy any unauthorized use. In addition, you may not use CW’s website(s) in any manner which could disable, overburden, damage, or impair the website(s) or interfere with any other party’s use and enjoyment of the website(s).

You may not modify, copy, distribute, display, send, perform, reproduce, publish, license, create derivative works from, transfer, or sell any information, content, software, products or services obtained from or otherwise connected to CW’s website(s), unless expressly permitted by these terms.
The material and content accessible from this site, and any other website owned, operated, licensed, or otherwise controlled by CW (the “Content”) is the proprietary information of CW or the party that provided or licensed the Content to CW whereby such providing party retains all right, title, and interest in the Content. Accordingly, the Content may not be copied, distributed, republished, uploaded, posted, or transmitted in any way without the prior written consent of CW, except that you may print out a copy of the Content solely for your personal use, and you may re-post a single image and up to one hundred (100) words of text from any article if such posting provides a right of attribution to Costume Wall, and promotes the article on other websites, including social media sites. In doing so, you may not remove or alter, or cause to be removed or altered, any copyright, trademark, trade name, service mark, or any other proprietary notice or legend appearing on any of the Content. Modification or use of the Content except as expressly provided in these Terms of Use violates CW’s intellectual property rights.

Some uses of copyrighted material may be permitted by law, including fair use. Whether a particular use qualifies depends on its circumstances. Attribution, a disclaimer or inclusion in a costume guide does not by itself establish permission or fair use.
