Age Verification Requirement – Vapedeal
From 06/06/2023, it is mandatory to complete an age verification check to purchase products from Vapedeal.
You only need to verify your age once. After verification, you will not be asked to do this for every order.
In the UK, it is illegal to buy vaping products if you are under 18. Vapedeal is therefore required to verify the age of all customers before completing any sale.
This page explains why age verification is required and how we verify your age. More details can also be found in our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
If you’ve been directed here to complete the age verification form, you can skip directly to the form [here].
Why do we need to verify your age?
Vapedeal respects your privacy, but age verification is a legal requirement to protect minors. The following UK authorities enforce these regulations:

Retailers are responsible for ensuring that age-restricted products are not sold online to anyone under the legal age.

Account Age Verification
Vapedeal uses 1Account, a trusted third-party age verification system. 1Account checks your age against reliable UK data sources, which may include:
Credit records

The system performs as few checks as necessary. In most cases, your age will be verified instantly, and your Vapedeal order will proceed without delay.

In some cases, your date of birth may also be requested to assist the verification process. It’s important that your billing address matches your current home address.
