Critical Disclaimer

General Warning

This disclaimer establishes critical information about Hauntoria and governs your use of this spectral social casino platform. By entering and using Hauntoria, you acknowledge that you have thoroughly read, comprehended, and agreed to be bound by every term and condition set forth in this disclaimer. If any portion causes you concern or seems unacceptable, you must immediately cease using the platform and depart.

Hauntoria reserves the authority to modify, update, or completely rewrite this disclaimer at any time without providing advance notice. The responsibility for staying informed about these terms rests solely upon you. Continued use of the platform after changes have been implemented constitutes your acceptance of those modifications.

Strict Age Requirement - 18 Years Minimum

ENTRY TO HAUNTORIA REQUIRES YOU TO BE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE.

This age restriction is absolute, unyielding, and enforced without exception. Hauntoria has been created exclusively for adult users who have reached their 18th birthday or beyond. We implement verification measures specifically designed to prevent access by those who fall short of this requirement.

By entering Hauntoria, you solemnly declare and guarantee that you have reached at least 18 years of age. Providing false information about your age constitutes a severe violation of these terms and will result in immediate and permanent expulsion from the platform. We take age restrictions with utmost seriousness and will cooperate fully with authorities if we discover attempts at underage access.

Parents, guardians, and other adults responsible for minors must actively monitor and control the internet activities of young people under their care. We strongly advocate for the use of parental control software and open family discussions about appropriate internet usage.

Should we become aware that an individual under 18 years of age has gained access to Hauntoria, we will take immediate action to block that access permanently and eliminate any associated data. We encourage anyone who becomes aware of underage access to report it to us without delay.

Absence of Real-Money Gambling

HAUNTORIA DOES NOT PROVIDE REAL-MONEY GAMBLING, WAGERING, OR THE OPPORTUNITY TO WIN ACTUAL MONEY OR PRIZES OF ANY KIND.

This fundamental principle defines everything about Hauntoria and applies to every aspect of our platform. All games, activities, features, and entertainment provided here exist purely for recreational purposes using virtual credits, tokens, or points that possess absolutely zero monetary value in the real world.

Real money never enters the equation when using Hauntoria. You cannot deposit actual currency into the platform. You cannot withdraw anything of real-world value from the platform. You cannot redeem virtual items for money, goods, or services. All gameplay occurs using virtual currency that exists exclusively within Hauntoria and has no exchange value beyond our digital boundaries.

The virtual credits, tokens, points, achievements, or any other virtual items you may accumulate, earn, or use within Hauntoria absolutely cannot be:

• Converted to real money under any circumstances whatsoever
• Exchanged for physical or digital goods or services of any description
• Sold, traded, or transferred to other users or any third parties
• Redeemed for prizes, rewards, or anything possessing monetary value
• Used outside of the Hauntoria platform in any capacity or for any purpose

Hauntoria is not a gambling establishment, betting platform, or casino in any traditional or legal sense. We hold no gambling licenses because we require none—no actual gambling, wagering, or real-money transactions occur anywhere on our platform.

Entertainment and Recreation Exclusively

HAUNTORIA EXISTS PURELY FOR ENTERTAINMENT AND RECREATIONAL PURPOSES.

The platform has been designed and built to provide engaging social casino experiences that simulate the atmosphere and excitement of casino-style gaming while completely eliminating all financial risks associated with real gambling. Our games are meant to be enjoyed casually as a form of leisure entertainment and nothing more.

Success, achievements, or winning streaks within Hauntoria games do not indicate, suggest, or predict future success at real-money gambling or actual casino games. The skills, strategies, or experiences you develop playing our social casino games do not necessarily translate to real gambling scenarios. Our games use random number generation and algorithms that may differ significantly from those used in real casinos.

Hauntoria should be enjoyed as a recreational activity similar to playing video games, watching movies, or engaging with other forms of digital entertainment. We encourage users to maintain healthy balance between gaming and other life activities, responsibilities, and relationships.

No Guarantees of Availability or Performance

While we make every effort to maintain reliable platform performance and consistent availability, Hauntoria is provided "as is" without any warranties, guarantees, or promises. We do not warrant that the platform will be available at all times, operate without interruption, remain free of errors, or meet your specific expectations or requirements.

The platform may experience periods of downtime, unavailability, or reduced functionality due to scheduled maintenance, technical difficulties, updates, server problems, or circumstances completely beyond our control. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, temporarily disable, or permanently discontinue any aspect of Hauntoria at any time without providing prior notice or accepting any liability.

Your ability to access the platform may be affected by numerous factors including but not limited to your internet connection quality, device compatibility, browser capabilities, geographic location, and local network restrictions. We bear no responsibility for any inability to access Hauntoria due to these or any other technical factors.
