You agree NOT to:

  • Create fake accounts or impersonate others
  • Scrape, crawl, or reverse-engineer any part of the service
  • Attempt to use the service for purposes unrelated to cigars
  • Upload illegal, offensive, or harmful content
  • Spam, harass, or abuse other users (when community features are available)
  • Use the service to violate any applicable law

7. Recommendation Disclaimer

  • Recommendations are informational only — not medical, health, or safety advice
  • Cigarato does not encourage tobacco use or claim any health benefits of smoking
  • Recommendations are based on taste preference data, not health considerations

  • We are not liable for purchases made based on recommendations
  • Our maximum liability is limited to the fees you've paid in the preceding 12 months

  • By you: Delete your account anytime (Settings → Your Data → Delete Account). All data is removed within 30 days.
  • By us: We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms (with notice where possible).

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email 30 days in advance. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
