Age Requirement

By accessing this website and purchasing products from us, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age or the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher.

This requirement applies to all visitors, regardless of whether they make a purchase. We do not knowingly sell or market our products to minors. The age of majority varies by country and region — it is your responsibility to know the legal age in your jurisdiction.

Examples: In most US states, the age of majority is 18. In some countries, it may be 19, 20, or 21. You must meet the higher of 18 or your local legal age.

Verification Process

We reserve the right to request age verification at any time, including before, during, or after the ordering process. Verification may include:

  • Submission of a government-issued photo ID (such as driver's license, passport, or national ID card)
  • Confirmation of personal information provided during checkout
  • Use of third-party age verification services
  • Additional documentation as deemed necessary

We take your privacy seriously. Any personal information submitted for age verification is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy and used solely for verification purposes.

Refusal & Cancellation Rights

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order if we believe the purchaser does not meet the applicable age requirements. This includes:

  • Refusing service to any customer who cannot or will not verify their age
  • Canceling orders before shipment if age verification is unsuccessful
  • Restricting access to our website or products
  • Blocking future purchases from customers who violate age policies
False information: Providing false age information is a violation of our terms and may result in permanent ban from our website.

No Minors Policy

Funcaps strictly prohibits the sale of products to minors. We do not knowingly sell or market our products to individuals under the legal age requirement. Our website is not intended for use by minors.

If we discover that a minor has provided false age information or attempted to purchase products, we will:

  • Cancel any pending orders from that individual
  • Refuse future service to that individual
  • Report fraudulent activity as appropriate
  • Permanently block access to our website

Parents or guardians are responsible for monitoring their children's online activity and preventing access to age-restricted products.

  2. Document submission: You will be asked to provide a copy of your government-issued ID (you may redact non-essential information such as ID number).
  3. Review: We will review the submitted document to confirm your age matches the legal requirement.
  4. Approval or cancellation: Upon successful verification, your order will proceed. If verification fails, your order will be canceled and any payment refunded.
