The agreement sets a minimum age of 13 for platform use and requires users between 13 and 17 to have parental or guardian involvement.

This provision establishes age-based access conditions that interact with COPPA obligations for users under 13 and create parental involvement requirements for minors, which affects how Fiverr may collect and process data from users in that age range.
Interpretive note: The document does not describe the mechanism by which parental involvement for 13-17 year olds is verified or enforced, creating uncertainty about practical compliance with COPPA and state minor protection frameworks.
Under this clause, users under 13 are not permitted to use the platform, and users aged 13 to 17 must have parental or guardian involvement; the specific mechanisms Fiverr uses to verify or enforce parental involvement are not detailed in the terms reviewed.

"You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Fiverr platform. If you are under 18 years of age, you may only use the platform with the involvement of a parent or guardian.Excerpt from Fiverr's Terms of Service
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The 13-year minimum age threshold engages COPPA, which requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13; the provision permitting 13-17 year olds with parental involvement may require evaluation under COPPA's protections for minors and under state laws such as California's Age-Appropriate Design Code (AADC). (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The terms assert parental involvement is required for minors aged 13-17 but do not describe a verification mechanism; the absence of a described verification process creates regulatory exposure under COPPA and applicable state minor protection frameworks. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: California's AADC imposes design and data protection obligations for online services likely accessed by minors under 18; EU GDPR sets the digital consent age at 16 in most member states (with member state variation down to 13), requiring parental consent for users below that threshold. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations with employee populations that include minors, or platforms integrating with Fiverr's API, should assess whether their use of Fiverr services complies with applicable minor protection requirements. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Legal and compliance teams should evaluate whether Fiverr's age verification and parental involvement mechanisms, as implemented in practice, satisfy COPPA, state AADC requirements, and GDPR member state age of consent provisions.
