Terms of Use

1. Introduction

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern the deployment and use of the age verification popup ("Popup") provided for Shopify store owners ("Store Owners"). By implementing this Popup on your Shopify store ("Store"), you agree to adhere to these Terms in their entirety.

2. Age Verification Compliance

The Popup is designed to facilitate compliance with legal requirements by taking consent that visitors to your Store are at least 18 years of age. This consent is necessary to restrict access to content or products that are age-sensitive.

3. User Consent and Redirection

When a user accesses your Store, the Popup will prompt them to confirm that they are 18 years of age or older. If the user consents, they will be granted access to your Store's content. Should the user decline or fail to provide consent, they will be denied access to the content and automatically redirected to a URL of your choosing. It is your responsibility as the Store Owner to set and manage this redirection URL.

4. Data Handling

The Popup does not collect, store, or process any personal information from users. Its function is limited strictly to age verification, ensuring legal compliance without engaging in data collection or retention.

5. Store Owner Responsibilities

As a Store Owner, you are responsible for the correct implementation and operation of the Popup within your Store. This includes:

1. Ensuring that the Popup operates as intended.
2. Maintaining and updating the redirection URL.
3. Ensuring that your Store complies with all applicable laws and regulations related to age-restricted content.

Agefence does not guarantee that the Popup alone fulfills all legal requirements related to age verification in every jurisdiction. It is the Store Owner's sole responsibility to assess and ensure compliance with applicable laws.

In the event that an underage user provides false consent via the Popup and subsequently purchases age-sensitive content or products, the Store Owner assumes full responsibility for the transaction. The Popup serves solely as a consent tool and is not liable for any actions or consequences arising from a user's false representation of their age. The Store Owner is responsible for monitoring transactions and fulfilling any legal obligations related to age-sensitive products.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Agefence and its providers shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use or inability to use the Popup. This includes, but is not limited to, loss of revenue, business interruption, or legal penalties resulting from non-compliance.

7. Indemnification

By using the Popup, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Agefence, its officers, employees, and agents from any claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from your use of the Popup or your failure to comply with applicable laws.

8. Amendments to the Terms

We reserve the right to modify or update these Terms at any time. Any significant changes will be communicated to Store Owners via email or a notice within the app at least 14 days before taking effect. Continued use of the Popup following any modifications constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

9. Contact Information

For any questions or concerns regarding these Terms or the functionality of the Popup, please contact us at [email protected].
