This provision functions as an eligibility gate and creates a contractual representation mechanism. It establishes the entity's position that minors are not authorized account holders and imposes a warranty obligation on users to confirm age compliance at the point of service access.
Poshmark's Terms of Service underwent a substantial update on April 19, 2026, with 249 new sentences and 3 modified sentences. The specific operational changes created by these additions cannot be determined from the detection summary alone. All users should review the updated terms at Poshmark's website to identify any new policies, requirements, restrictions, or disclosures that affect their use of the platform.
View change record →Poshmark's updated Privacy Policy provides substantially more transparency about the personal data it collects (including name, address, payment details, and content you create), how it uses and shares that information, and the legal bases for processing. The policy now explicitly covers data collected across websites, mobile apps, and other platforms, and identifies collection points including account registration, purchases, listings, stories, and interactions with other users. California residents are directed to a separate supplemental privacy notice. While this change increases clarity about data practices rather than restricting new data collection, reviewing the specific uses and sharing practices described in the full policy can help you understand what data Poshmark retains and how it may be used.
View change record →Minors who access Poshmark do so in violation of the terms, meaning their accounts may be closed at any time and any transactions they conduct may be voided, potentially leaving them without recourse.

"The Services are intended solely for persons who are 18 or older. Any access to or use of the Services by anyone under 18 is expressly prohibited. By accessing or using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are 18 or older.— Excerpt from Poshmark's Poshmark Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The age restriction provision engages COPPA, which imposes requirements on platforms that collect personal information from children under 13. By restricting to 18-plus, Poshmark asserts it is not a COPPA-covered platform, but this does not eliminate the obligation to have reasonable age verification mechanisms. State laws in California (AADC) and other jurisdictions may impose additional requirements on platforms where minors may access services. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. Age representation clauses without active verification mechanisms are common in platform terms but may face increasing regulatory scrutiny under U.S. and EU child protection frameworks. The California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act imposes design and privacy requirements on platforms likely to be accessed by minors, regardless of stated age restrictions. JURISDICTION FLAGS: California's AADC, the UK's Age Appropriate Design Code, and the EU's Digital Services Act all impose obligations on platforms that may be accessed by children, even when platforms formally restrict access. Compliance teams should assess whether Poshmark's age verification practices satisfy these requirements. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: No specific B2B implications. Parent companies or acquirers should assess whether age verification infrastructure meets evolving regulatory requirements. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should evaluate whether Poshmark's onboarding flow includes any active age verification mechanism beyond a self-representation, and whether this is adequate under California AADC, the UK Age Appropriate Design Code, and comparable frameworks.
