Terms of Service

1. Agreement to Terms

Welcome to Ashthornis. By accessing our platform, you enter into a binding legal agreement with us. These Terms of Service govern your use of our social casino gaming platform and all associated services. Your access to and use of Ashthornis constitutes your acceptance of these terms.

If you disagree with any portion of these terms, you must cease using Ashthornis immediately. We reserve the right to modify these terms at our discretion, with changes becoming effective upon posting to our platform. Your continued use after modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

2. Age Requirements and Eligibility

Ashthornis enforces strict age restrictions. You must be at least 18 years old to access or use our platform. By using Ashthornis, you certify that you have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction and meet all eligibility requirements.

We implement age verification systems to enforce this requirement. Providing false information about your age constitutes fraud and grounds for immediate termination of access. Users who circumvent age restrictions may face legal consequences under applicable laws.

Parents and guardians must actively supervise minors' internet usage to prevent unauthorized access to age-restricted platforms like Ashthornis.

3. Free Social Casino - No Real Money

Ashthornis operates exclusively as a free-to-play social casino platform. This fundamental characteristic defines our entire service:

• Zero real money wagering occurs on our platform
• No cash, cryptocurrency, or valuable consideration is bet or staked
• No real money prizes or payouts are awarded
• All virtual credits, coins, and currencies lack real-world value
• No mechanism exists to exchange virtual currency for real money
• No purchases, deposits, or financial transactions are accepted

Ashthornis provides entertainment through games that simulate casino experiences without involving actual gambling. Success on our platform does not reflect real gambling outcomes or indicate potential for profit in actual gambling environments.

4. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree to use Ashthornis solely for lawful, personal entertainment purposes. Prohibited activities include:

• Misrepresenting your age or identity
• Using automated tools, bots, or scripts to access games
• Attempting to reverse engineer, decompile, or extract source code
• Circumventing security measures or access controls
• Interfering with platform operation or other users' experiences
• Using the platform for commercial purposes without authorization
• Engaging in fraudulent, abusive, or unlawful conduct

Violation of this acceptable use policy may result in immediate account termination and legal action where appropriate.

5. Intellectual Property Rights

All content on Ashthornis—including games, graphics, logos, text, code, audio, visual elements, and overall design—is protected by intellectual property laws and owned by Ashthornis or our licensors.

We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive license to access and use Ashthornis for personal entertainment only. This license does not permit:

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ashthornis disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of Ashthornis. Our total liability for any claim shall not exceed the amount you paid to use our platform (which is zero, given our free service).

7. User Conduct and Community Standards

While Ashthornis primarily involves solo gameplay, maintaining a respectful environment remains important. You agree to:

• Respect the platform and its purposes
• Not engage in abusive or harassing behavior
• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate access for users who violate community standards or engage in conduct we deem inappropriate.

8. Privacy and Data Handling

Your use of Ashthornis is subject to our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and protect your information. The Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using Ashthornis, you consent to our data practices as described in the Privacy Policy.

9. Third-Party Links and Services

Ashthornis may contain links to external websites, particularly responsible gambling resources. These links are provided for convenience and information only. We do not control, endorse, or assume responsibility for third-party content, services, or privacy practices.

Your interactions with third-party sites are governed by their respective terms and policies. We encourage careful review of any third-party terms before engaging with external services.

10. Termination of Access

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to Ashthornis at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. Grounds for termination include but are not limited to:

• Violation of these Terms of Service
• Fraudulent or deceptive conduct
• Circumventing age verification or access controls
• Engaging in prohibited activities
• Any conduct we determine harmful to our platform or users

Upon termination, all rights granted to you cease immediately. Provisions of these Terms that should reasonably survive termination shall remain in effect.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms shall be governed by applicable laws without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of Ashthornis shall be resolved through the following process:

First, parties shall attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation fails, disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of appropriate courts, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in such courts.

12. Modifications to Service

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of Ashthornis at any time without notice. This includes:

• Adding, removing, or changing games
• Altering platform features or functionality
• Updating designs, interfaces, or user experiences
• Temporarily or permanently ceasing operations

We shall not be liable to you or third parties for any modifications, suspensions, or discontinuations of service.

13. Severability and Waiver

If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, with remaining provisions continuing in full force and effect.

Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. No waiver shall be deemed a continuing waiver unless explicitly stated in writing.

14. Entire Agreement

These Terms of Service, together with our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, constitute the complete agreement between you and Ashthornis regarding use of our platform. These documents supersede all prior agreements, communications, and understandings, whether written or oral.
