"YOU MAY ONLY USE THE SERVICES IF YOU ARE 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER AND ARE OF LEGAL AGE IN THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH YOU RESIDE TO FORM A BINDING CONTRACT WITH DOORDASH.— Excerpt from DoorDash's DoorDash Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Age restriction provisions in consumer-facing platforms engage with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) in the US, which applies to online services directed at or knowingly collecting data from children under 13. The 18+ age requirement goes beyond COPPA's 13-year threshold, but compliance teams should confirm that the platform's data practices for users under 13 are COPPA-compliant in the event underage users access the Services. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low for standard compliance; medium if the platform lacks effective age verification mechanisms, as regulators have scrutinized platforms that fail to prevent underage access despite stated age restrictions. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: Several US states have enacted or proposed laws requiring more robust age verification for online platforms. The UK Age Appropriate Design Code (Children's Code) may apply if the platform is accessible to UK users under 18. Australia's Online Safety Act and similar frameworks in other jurisdictions may impose obligations regarding minors' access. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: The age restriction clause affects the enforceability of the arbitration agreement and other contractual provisions against minors; contracts with minors are voidable in most jurisdictions. Organizations using DoorDash's platform should confirm whether their use cases involve any risk of underage users accessing the platform through shared accounts. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should assess whether DoorDash's account registration and verification processes adequately enforce the 18+ age requirement, and whether data collection practices for any users who may be under 18 comply with COPPA and equivalent laws in other jurisdictions.
