• The content on Age Verification is provided for general information only. It is not intended to amount to advice on which you should rely.

Such links should not be interpreted as approval by us of those linked websites or information you may obtain from them. We have no control over the contents of those websites or resources.

Age estimation tool

• Our age estimation tool is exactly that – it estimates age. We don’t claim that it is accurate or that it works equally well for all our users. We and our organisation partners set an age threshold for the age estimation tool that they are happy to accept age estimation for, and it will be a number of years above the age required by law to access the content or purchase the goods or services you want to. If you are lucky enough to look younger than you are, then our technology may not grant you access to the content you want to access. Further, if you are in fact over the required age, but not by very many years, you may be rejected by our age estimation technology. We and our partners offer other age verification methods so this should not be a problem for you. We cannot accept any liability or responsibility to you if our age estimation tool rejects you. 

Yoti app

• If you use the Yoti app to prove your age then the Yoti Consumer Terms & Conditions govern your use of the Yoti app on Age Verification.

Third party services

• Some of the services on Yoti are provided by third parties. The performance of these services are outside of our control and we do not take responsibility for the availability, speed or performance of those services. 

Liability

• We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so. This includes liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or the negligence of our employees, agents or subcontractors and liability caused by our own fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.
• Except as provided for by the Terms or other terms and conditions accepted by you, you agree not to use Age Verification for any commercial or business purposes, and we have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to you in contract, tort, negligence or statute for any loss of profit, any loss of revenue, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
• If defective digital content that we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage that you could have avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or for damage that was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or by you failing to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us.

• We do not guarantee that Age Verification will be secure or free from bugs or viruses. You are responsible for configuring your information technology, computer programmes and platform to access Age Verification. You should use your own virus protection software.

• Subject to any local law mandating otherwise, please note that the Terms, their subject matter and their formation, are governed by English law.
