Age Verification Policy
Activist Edibles products are intended for adults only. We operate a strict age verification policy to ensure that no person under the age of 18 accesses, browses, or purchases from this Site. We take this responsibility seriously and apply it consistently without exception.
1. The Minimum Age Requirement
2. How We Verify Age
Upon first visiting officialactivistedibles.co.uk, you are presented with an age verification gate that requires you to confirm that you are 18 years of age or older before you can proceed to any part of the Site. By clicking to confirm your age:
- You are making a legal declaration that you are at least 18 years old
- You accept full responsibility for this declaration being truthful and accurate
- You consent to a cookie being placed on your device to remember your verification for future visits
We store a record of this age verification declaration in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
3. Additional Verification at Our Discretion
We reserve the right to request additional proof of age at any point during the ordering or delivery process. This may include:
- Requesting a copy of a government-issued photo ID (e.g. passport, driving licence) prior to processing an order
- Requiring age to be confirmed upon delivery, where our carrier is instructed to verify ID at the door
- Cancelling any order where we have reasonable grounds to believe the customer is under 18 years of age
4. Prohibitions
The following are strictly prohibited and will result in immediate order cancellation and, where appropriate, referral to relevant authorities:
- Providing a false date of birth or falsely declaring yourself to be 18 or over
- Placing an order on behalf of a person under 18
- Purchasing or attempting to purchase our products for the purpose of supplying them to a person under 18
- Allowing a person under 18 to use your account or credentials to access or purchase from this Site
5. Our Responsibility
While we make every reasonable effort to prevent underage access and purchase, we rely in part on the honesty of users at the point of age declaration. We accept no liability for harm caused where a user has falsely declared themselves to be 18 or over. Parents and guardians are encouraged to make use of parental controls to restrict access to this Site where appropriate.
6. Parental Controls
If you are a parent or guardian concerned about a minor accessing this Site, we recommend using internet filtering software or parental control tools offered by your internet service provider or device manufacturer. The Internet Watch Foundation (iwf.org.uk) and the BBFC's AgeCheck Certification Scheme provide further guidance on age-appropriate browsing controls.
7. Reporting Underage Access
If you become aware of a person under 18 accessing or attempting to purchase from this Site, please contact us immediately using the details below. We will investigate and take appropriate action.
8. Compliance
This Age Verification Policy is maintained in compliance with the Licensing Act 2003, the Children and Young Persons Act 1933, and all applicable UK regulations governing the sale of age-restricted products. We review this policy regularly and update it in line with any changes in UK law or regulatory guidance.
