We need to ensure that our products can only be purchased by those of a legal age to do so. Under UK and EU law, it is illegal to sell electronic cigarettes and any product intended to deliver nicotine to all individuals under the age of 18. To make certain that our customers are of a safe, legal age to buy our products, we ask that they agree to confirm their age when creating an account or placing an order as a guest during checkout. To make the process as fast and accurate as possible, while protecting your personal data and anonymity, we use the industry-standard Agechecked verification service.
Whenever you place an order with Vapestore, you will be asked to enter your full registered name, billing address and date of birth. This information must be entered correctly as it would appear on your driver’s license, electoral roll or a UK credit card. With this information we can verify your age and proceed with your order.
We use Agechecked services to verify your age, but since this is simply an ID check and not a credit check, your credit score will not be affected in any way.
In some instances, such as a recent change of address, incorrect formatting of address or change of name or use of a nickname, Agechecked might not be able to verify your age, and so we may reformat the details correctly and apply another age verification check or ask you to provide another valid form of proof of age such as a UK Driver’s License or Passport.
As we use Agechecked secure age verification services, our customers’ personal data is never logged or stored, just processed at the point of your first order with us. This means that, so long as you have created an account with us, you only have to verify your age one time and all future orders placed with us will go straight through without requiring further age verification.
