Terms of Use
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
Please read these terms carefully before using our social casino gaming platform. By accessing avanticigarcompany.com, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By creating an account, accessing, or using any part of the Avanti Cigar Company platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with any part of these terms, you must discontinue use of our services immediately.
We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Changes become effective upon posting to the platform. Your continued use after modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
2. Age Restrictions and Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years of age to access or use this platform. By using our services, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.
We take age verification seriously. You may be required to provide proof of age at any time. Accounts found to belong to underage users will be immediately terminated without notice, and all associated virtual items will be forfeited.
Additionally, you must have the legal capacity to enter into binding contracts in your jurisdiction. Use of our platform may be restricted or prohibited in certain locations – it's your responsibility to ensure compliance with local laws.
3. Entertainment Only – No Real Money Value
This is a social casino gaming platform designed purely for entertainment purposes. Let's be clear about what that means:
- Virtual coins, tokens, and other items have no real-world monetary value
- You cannot exchange virtual items for real money, goods, or services
- Success in social casino games does not imply future success in real-money gambling
- All games are intended for adult audiences for amusement only
- Virtual winnings cannot be withdrawn, cashed out, or redeemed
We're not a gambling site. We don't offer real money wagering, and participation in our games doesn't constitute gambling under Canadian law.
4. Account Registration and Security
Account Creation
To access certain features, you'll need to create an account. When registering, you agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information. Keep your account details updated – outdated information can lead to service disruptions.
Account Security
You're responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials. Don't share your password with anyone. Any activity that occurs under your account is your responsibility, whether authorized by you or not.
If you suspect unauthorized access to your account, notify us immediately at info@avanticigarcompany.com. We'll help secure your account, but we're not liable for losses resulting from unauthorized use before you report it.
Account Restrictions
- One account per person – creating multiple accounts is prohibited
- Accounts are non-transferable and cannot be sold or given to others
- We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms
- Account termination results in forfeiture of all virtual items and progress
5. Acceptable Use Policy
Our platform works best when everyone respects each other and follows reasonable guidelines. Here's what we expect:

Violations can result in warnings, temporary suspension, or permanent account termination depending on severity.
6. Intellectual Property Rights
All content on this platform – including games, graphics, logos, software, text, and design elements – is owned by Avanti Cigar Company or our licensors. This content is protected by Canadian and international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
Limited License
We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the platform for personal entertainment purposes only. This license doesn't give you any ownership rights.
Restrictions
You may not copy, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works from any platform content without our express written permission. You can't reverse engineer our software or attempt to extract source code either.
7. User-Generated Content
Some platform features let you post messages, upload profile images, or share other content. When you do, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free license to use, display, and distribute that content within the platform.
You're responsible for the content you post. Don't upload anything that violates intellectual property rights, contains personal information about others, or includes illegal or inappropriate material.
We reserve the right to remove any user content that violates these terms or that we find objectionable. We're not obligated to monitor all user content, but we may review it at our discretion.
8. Community Guidelines and Social Features
Our platform includes social features like chat, friend lists, and leaderboards. These features are designed to enhance your experience, but they come with responsibilities.
Respectful Interaction
Treat other users with respect. Disagreements happen, but keep conversations civil. Personal attacks, hate speech, and harassment won't be tolerated.
Privacy Considerations
Don't share personal information – yours or anyone else's – through our platform. This includes full names, addresses, phone numbers, or financial information. Protect your privacy and respect others' privacy too.
Reporting Issues
If you encounter inappropriate behavior or content, use our reporting tools or contact us directly. We investigate all reports seriously and take appropriate action when violations are confirmed.
9. Virtual Items and Purchases
You may have the opportunity to purchase virtual items, coins, or other digital goods within the platform. These purchases are final and non-refundable except as required by law.
Remember: Virtual items have no real-world value and cannot be exchanged for money. Purchases support platform development and provide entertainment value only.
Pricing and Availability
We reserve the right to modify pricing, availability, and features of virtual items at any time. Prices are displayed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified.
Payment Processing
Payments are processed through secure third-party payment processors. We don't store your complete payment information on our servers. By making a purchase, you agree to the payment processor's terms as well.
10. Platform Availability and Modifications
We strive to keep the platform available 24/7, but we can't guarantee uninterrupted access. Maintenance, updates, technical issues, or circumstances beyond our control may cause temporary disruptions.
We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the platform at any time, with or without notice. This includes games, features, virtual items, or the entire service. We're not liable for any modifications or discontinuations.
11. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by Canadian law, Avanti Cigar Company and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages resulting from:
- Your use or inability to use the platform
- Loss of virtual items, account data, or game progress
- Unauthorized access to your account
- Errors, bugs, or interruptions in service
- Interactions with other users
Our total liability to you for any claims arising from platform use shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the six months preceding the claim, or 0 CAD, whichever is greater.
12. Disclaimers
The platform is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We don't warrant that the platform will be error-free, secure, or continuously available.
We make no guarantees about game outcomes, virtual item availability, or platform performance. Random game elements operate on random number generation – results are unpredictable by design.
13. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Avanti Cigar Company from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including legal fees) arising from your violation of these terms, your use of the platform, or your violation of any rights of another party.
14. Dispute Resolution
Governing Law
These terms are governed by the laws of British Columbia and the federal laws of Canada applicable therein, without regard to conflict of law principles.
Informal Resolution
If you have a dispute with us, contact us first at info@avanticigarcompany.com. We'll work in good faith to resolve the issue informally. Most concerns can be addressed through direct communication.
Jurisdiction
If informal resolution doesn't work, you agree that any legal action must be brought in the courts of British Columbia, Canada. You consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of these courts.
15. Termination
We may terminate or suspend your account immediately, without prior notice, if you violate these terms or engage in conduct we determine to be harmful to the platform or other users.
You can terminate your account at any time by contacting us. Upon termination, your right to use the platform ceases immediately, and all virtual items and account data will be deleted.
Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will remain in effect, including intellectual property rights, disclaimers, and limitations of liability.
16. Miscellaneous Provisions
Entire Agreement
These terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and Avanti Cigar Company regarding platform use.
Severability
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full effect.
No Waiver
Our failure to enforce any right or provision in these terms doesn't constitute a waiver of that right or provision.
Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these terms or your account without our written consent. We may assign our rights and obligations without restriction.
