Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a binding agreement between you and Avento ("Avento", "we", "us", or "our") governing your access to and use of the Avento live streaming and social community mobile application and any related websites or services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Service.

The Service is intended solely for adults. By using Avento, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old and that you agree to comply with the conduct and safety obligations described throughout these Terms, including Section 16 regarding minors and child exploitation.

1. Acceptance of Terms

1.1 Binding Agreement. By registering for, accessing, or using the Service in any way, you accept these Terms in full, together with our Privacy Policy, Community Guidelines, and any feature-specific supplemental terms, all of which are incorporated by reference.

1.2 Capacity to Contract. You represent that you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction of residence.

1.3 Updates. We may revise these Terms as described in Section 25. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Eligibility and Age Requirement

2.1 Minimum Age. The Service is restricted to individuals 18 years of age or older. Avento does not offer, and must not be used by, anyone under 18, regardless of local age of majority.

2.2 Accurate Representations. You agree to provide a true birth date and accurate registration information. Providing false age information is a material breach of these Terms and grounds for immediate account termination.

2.3 Verification Cooperation. You agree to cooperate with any age assurance or identity verification process we may require, particularly before broadcasting, as described in Section 5.

3. Account Registration and Security

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity occurring under your account.
• You agree to notify us promptly at service@avento.fans if you suspect unauthorized access to your account.
• One natural person may not maintain multiple accounts for the purpose of evading enforcement action, manipulating gifting or ranking features, or circumventing restrictions.

4. Description of the Service

Avento provides a live streaming and social community platform through which eligible users may broadcast live video, view and interact with live streams, publish posts and comments, exchange direct messages, and send or receive Virtual Items. We may add, modify, or discontinue features at any time, and we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Service.

5. Broadcaster Terms and Real-Person Verification

• Only users who have completed our real-person identity verification process may initiate a live broadcast. Verification may include submission of a government-issued identification document and a live selfie or short video for comparison.
• You may not permit another person to broadcast under your verified identity, use pre-recorded footage disguised as a live stream, or use any filter, avatar, or synthetic technology intended to misrepresent that a real, verified person is broadcasting.
• Broadcasters are solely responsible for the legality and appropriateness of their stream content in every jurisdiction from which they broadcast.
• We may suspend or revoke broadcasting privileges at any time, with or without suspending your ability to view content as a Viewer, if we reasonably believe these Terms or our Community Guidelines have been violated.

6. Acceptable Use and Community Guidelines

You agree to use the Service in a manner consistent with our Community Guidelines, which are incorporated into these Terms. Without limiting those Guidelines, you agree not to use the Service to harass, threaten, defraud, or impersonate others, or to organize, promote, or facilitate illegal activity.

7. Prohibited Conduct

• Grooming behavior, solicitation of minors, or any attempt to arrange in-person or online contact with a minor for exploitative purposes.
• Uploading content that infringes another party's intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.
• Using bots, scripts, or automated tools to inflate viewer counts, gifting amounts, followers, or engagement metrics.
• Circumventing payment systems, engaging in gift laundering, or coercing others into sending Virtual Items.
• Uploading malware, attempting to reverse-engineer the Service, or interfering with its normal operation.

8. User-Generated Content: License and Responsibility

8.1 Your Content. You retain ownership of the posts, live stream video and audio, comments, images, and other content you submit to the Service ("UGC"). You are solely responsible for your UGC and for ensuring you have all necessary rights to share it.

8.2 License Grant to Avento. By submitting UGC, you grant Avento a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, reproduce, distribute, publicly display, and create derivative works of your UGC (such as clips or thumbnails) solely for purposes of operating, promoting, securing, and improving the Service.

8.3 Representations. You represent that your UGC does not infringe any third-party rights, does not depict any minor in a sexualized manner, and complies with these Terms and applicable law.

8.4 Removal. We may remove or restrict access to any UGC at our discretion, particularly where it violates these Terms, without prior notice.

9. Intellectual Property Rights

• All rights, title, and interest in the Service, including the Avento name, logo, software, and design, are owned by Avento or its licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.

10. Virtual Items, Coins, and In-App Purchases

• Avento may offer coins, gifts, badges, subscriptions, or other digital items ("Virtual Items") for purchase through the applicable app store's in-app payment system.
• Virtual Items have no cash value, are not redeemable for real currency except as expressly permitted through creator payout features described in Section 11, and are non-transferable between accounts.
• Prices for Virtual Items may change at any time without prior notice; changes will not affect purchases already completed.
• You are solely responsible for all charges incurred under your account, including those made by anyone with access to your device or payment method.

11. Creator Payouts and Earnings

• Eligible broadcasters may convert received gifts into payable earnings subject to eligibility criteria, minimum payout thresholds, and applicable fees, as described in in-app payout terms.
• Payouts are subject to identity and tax verification, and we may withhold or delay payouts to investigate suspected fraud, gift laundering, or violations of these Terms.
• We reserve the right to adjust, revoke, or claw back credited earnings obtained through fraudulent, coercive, or manipulative gifting activity.

12. Refund Policy

• Purchases of Virtual Items are generally final and non-refundable, except where required by applicable law or by the policies of the app store through which the purchase was made.
• Refund requests related to unauthorized purchases, billing errors, or technical failures should be directed to service@avento.fans or to the applicable app store's support channel, and will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
• We may deny refund requests where there is evidence that Virtual Items have already been consumed, gifted, or otherwise used on the Service.

13. Subscriptions and Auto-Renewal

• Certain features may be offered on a subscription basis that automatically renews at the end of each billing cycle unless canceled prior to renewal.
• You may manage or cancel subscriptions through your app store account settings; canceling does not entitle you to a refund for the current billing period unless required by law.

14. Gifting and Interactions Between Users

• Gifting features are intended for genuine appreciation of content and are not a payment for any offline service, sexual content, or in-person meeting.
• Soliciting gifts in exchange for sexual content, coercing viewers into sending gifts, or targeting vulnerable users for excessive gifting is prohibited and may result in account termination.

15. Reporting, Investigation, and Enforcement

• We may investigate reported violations using available account, device, content, and transaction data, and may take enforcement action ranging from content removal to permanent account termination.
• We may involve law enforcement or other authorities where required by law or where we believe there is a risk of harm to any person.

16. Minors and Child Safety

16.1 Strict Prohibition. Avento strictly prohibits use of the Service by anyone under 18. Accounts found or reasonably suspected to belong to a minor will be suspended immediately pending review and, where confirmed, permanently terminated.

16.2 Zero Tolerance for Child Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (CSAE). We maintain a zero-tolerance policy toward any content, communication, or conduct that sexualizes, exploits, endangers, or grooms a minor. This includes, without limitation, sexualized depictions of minors, solicitation of minors, and facilitation of contact with minors for exploitative purposes.

16.3 Detection and Reporting. We use automated detection tools, including hash-matching against known child sexual abuse material databases, together with human review and user reports, to identify violations. Where legally required, confirmed or suspected violations are reported to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) or other applicable authorities, and we cooperate fully with law enforcement investigations.

16.4 Reporting Channel. Any user who encounters suspected CSAE on the Service should report it immediately through in-app reporting tools or by emailing service@avento.fans; such reports are treated as a priority.

17. Account Suspension and Termination

• We may suspend or terminate your account, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, our Community Guidelines, or applicable law, or if your continued use poses a risk to the Service or other users.
• You may terminate your account at any time through in-app settings or by contacting us; termination does not entitle you to a refund of unused Virtual Items except as required by law.
• Provisions relating to intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution survive termination of your account.

18. Third-Party Services and Links

• The Service may integrate with or link to third-party platforms, including social login providers and payment processors. We are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party service.
