Terms of Service

The Velvet Draw

Last Updated: 11/19/2025

Welcome to The Velvet Draw ("we," "our," or "us"). By accessing or using our website, online store, videos, content, or any other services we provide (collectively, the "Services"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you do not agree, please discontinue use immediately.

1. Eligibility & Age Requirements

The Velvet Draw produces cigar- and whiskey-adjacent content while offering branded essentials, accessories, and lifestyle goods. Our recommended product links may lead to third-party retailers for accessories, but we do not sell tobacco or alcohol ourselves. By accessing any of our Services you confirm that you meet the legal requirements in your area for viewing age-restricted subject matter.

  • You are at least 21 years old (or the legal tobacco/alcohol consumption age in your jurisdiction).
  • You are legally permitted to view or purchase age-restricted accessories featured through third-party partners.

We do not knowingly sell products to minors and do not directly sell tobacco products.

2. Website Content

Our website blends editorial content with commerce so you will encounter features like:

  • Cigar and whiskey reviews, discussions, and commentary.
  • Embedded YouTube videos.
  • Blog-style posts and educational guides.
  • Shopify-integrated listings and checkout flows.
  • Contact forms, email/SMPP communication, and similar interactive utilities.

Everything is for informational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing here should be treated as medical, legal, or professional advice.

3. Online Store & Purchases

Purchases of Velvet Draw merchandise are processed through Shopify. When you place an order you agree that all details are accurate, you are legally allowed to buy essentials or accessories in your region, and you will comply with all applicable laws. Pricing, availability, and product descriptions may change without notice and we may refuse or cancel any order.

Shipping, taxes, duties, and restrictions are your responsibility. Refunds are handled in accordance with our Refund Policy, when applicable. Recommended-product links may point to affiliate partners (such as Amazon) for cigar- or whiskey-adjacent accessories; any purchase through those links is handled entirely by the third-party retailer under their own terms. We are not the seller of those items and cannot guarantee availability, pricing, or suitability.

4. User Accounts (If Applicable)

If you create an account you are responsible for safeguarding your credentials, for all activity under that account, and for notifying us immediately of unauthorized access. We may suspend or terminate accounts for misuse or violations of these Terms.

5. User-Submitted Content

If you send us comments, messages, images, or other materials you grant The Velvet Draw a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display and use that content for business purposes, including showcasing testimonials or responding to inquiries. You agree that submissions will not contain harassment, illegal content, copyright-infringing material, or malicious code.

6. Intellectual Property

All images, branding, logos, videos, graphics, product names, text, and other materials on The Velvet Draw are owned by us or licensed to us. You may not copy, reproduce, redistribute, modify, or publicly display any portion of the Services without written permission.

7. Third-Party Services

Our Services integrate platforms such as Shopify, YouTube, Google Analytics, SMTP email tools, payment providers, affiliate networks, and social platforms. Recommended-product links may direct you to third-party stores (for example, Amazon) where the transaction, fulfillment, and customer service are handled entirely by that retailer. We are not responsible for their content, policies, data practices, or any damages arising from their use. Your use of those services is governed by their respective policies.

8. Disclaimer

The Velvet Draw provides all Services “as is” without warranties of any kind, including accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, or uninterrupted availability. Cigar and alcohol content includes subjective opinions and does not guarantee any particular experience or outcome.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Velvet Draw is not liable for damages arising from the use or inability to use the Services—including direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages. You use the Services at your own risk.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold The Velvet Draw harmless from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising from your use of the Services, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any laws or third-party rights.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [State], without regard to conflicts of law principles.
