ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision allocates contractual responsibility by requiring either individual user age attestation or documented parental consent, and establishes parental liability for minor account holders' activities. This creates a dual-consent framework that assigns financial and legal accountability for service use.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users under the age of majority must either obtain parental or legal guardian consent to use the service, and such consenting adults assume joint responsibility for all account activities, including financial transactions. The clause conditions service access on this consent mechanism rather than permitting unrestricted minor account creation.
