Terms of Use

1. Who we are and agreement to these terms

Traveling Cigars (the "App") is a cigar news, culture, education, and lounge-directory app published by Traveling Cigars ("we", "us", "our"). By opening or using the App you agree to these Terms of Use and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the App.

2. Adults 21 and older only

The App is intended only for adults who are 21 years of age or older, the minimum age to purchase tobacco products in the United States. You must confirm your date of birth before using the App. Do not use the App if you are under 21 or under the legal age for tobacco products where you live. Entering a false date of birth is a breach of these terms.

3. Editorial and informational use only

The App is a journalistic and educational publication. It presents headlines and links to news published by others, embedded videos from public YouTube channels, short educational notes, and a directory of publicly known cigar lounges and tobacconist shops.

Nothing in the App is an offer to sell, a solicitation to buy, or an encouragement to use any tobacco product. Nothing in the App is medical, health, legal, or professional advice.

4. No sales

We do not sell tobacco products or anything else through the App. The App contains no prices, coupons, promotions, affiliate links, shopping carts, or checkout. Directory entries show a name, address, short note, and map directions only, and do not link to a shop's website or ordering page.

5. Third-party content and links

News headlines, articles, press releases, and videos shown or linked in the App belong to their publishers and creators. We show headlines, short index text, and links, and we play videos through the standard YouTube embedded player. When you open a link you leave the App and the third party's own terms and privacy policy apply.

We do not control, endorse, verify, or take responsibility for third-party content, websites, videos, products, or claims. A link, embed, or listing is not an endorsement.

6. Trademarks and no affiliation

Brand names, publication names, channel names, business names, logos, and trademarks that appear in the App belong to their respective owners. Their appearance is for identification and news-reporting purposes only and does not mean that the owner is affiliated with, sponsors, or endorses Traveling Cigars, or that we are affiliated with them.

7. Directory accuracy

Places listings are compiled from publicly available information and may be incomplete, out of date, or wrong. Businesses open, move, change hours, and close. We do not guarantee the accuracy, availability, legality, or quality of any listed place. Always confirm details with the business before you travel. You can report a correction from the Legal section of the App or by emailing us.

8. Your account

An account is optional. All content can be read without one. If you create an account, you agree to give a name and an email address you are entitled to use, and to keep it accurate. You can edit or delete your account at any time from the Account tab.

We may suspend or terminate an account, or your access to the App, if we reasonably believe you are under 21, have broken these terms, or are misusing the App, or if we discontinue the App. You may stop using the App and delete your account at any time.

9. Acceptable use

Do not use the App to break the law, to attempt to access systems or data you are not authorized to access, to interfere with the App's operation, or to scrape or resell its content.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

The App and all content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

11. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Traveling Cigars and its officers, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from or related to your use of the App, third-party content, or any listed place. Our total liability for any claim related to the App will not exceed one hundred U.S. dollars (US$100). Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so some of these limits may not apply to you.

12. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Traveling Cigars from claims arising from your breach of these terms or your misuse of the App, to the extent permitted by law.

13. Apple App Store

These terms are between you and Traveling Cigars, not Apple Inc. Apple is not responsible for the App or its content, has no obligation to provide maintenance or support, and is not responsible for any product, legal, or intellectual-property claims relating to the App. Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms and may enforce them against you. You confirm you are not located in a country subject to a U.S. Government embargo and are not on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.

14. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Georgia, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Georgia, and you consent to their jurisdiction, except where the law of your place of residence requires otherwise.

15. Changes

We may update these terms. The effective date at the top will change, and material changes will be shown in the App. Continuing to use the App after a change means you accept the updated terms.
