Effective Date: August 6, 2025
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the use of thira.co (“Website”), which is operated by Thira (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Website—including any of its stories, objects, or guides — visitors and members agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Website.
Thira began in 2022, shaped by a quiet and ongoing interest in art and culture, design, style, and travel, and the subtle ways they influence how we live. Based in New York and named for a still island in Greece, it exists as a platform: a cadence of stories, objects, and guides. Membership supports this work and a small, growing community of readers, collaborators, and those who return.
1. Overview of Services
The Website offers original editorial writing (“stories”), curated and crafted items (“objects”), and curated recommendations (“guides”). Some content is available freely, while other areas require a paid membership to access. We reserve the right to modify, expand, or restrict access to any portion of the Website at any time.
2. Membership and Account Access
Visitors may freely browse certain content without creating an account. To access member-only stories, guides, or purchase objects, registration and payment may be required.
By creating an account, you agree to:
