What it is

Redfin's services are for adults only; users under 13 are explicitly prohibited, and users under the age of majority in their location are also excluded.

This analysis describes what Redfin's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The clause creates a gatekeeping mechanism that restricts service availability based on user age, establishing a baseline condition for contract formation and continued service access. This operates as a compliance requirement tied to regulatory frameworks governing minors' contractual capacity.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you are under 18 (or the applicable age of majority in your location), you are not authorized to use Redfin's platform, and parents should be aware that children under 13 are explicitly prohibited.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The explicit prohibition on users under 13 engages the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), enforced by the FTC, which requires verifiable parental consent before collecting personal information from children under 13. The age-of-majority standard creates a variable access threshold: in most US states this is 18, but in some jurisdictions (e.g., Nebraska, Alabama) it is 19. The two-tier standard (absolute bar under 13, age-of-majority bar for others) is a standard COPPA-compliant approach. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low for standard operational purposes. COPPA compliance is a standing obligation for platforms accessible to US minors. The age-of-majority variability creates a minor operational complexity but is not unusual in multi-jurisdictional consumer agreements. JURISDICTION FLAGS: Canadian users face provincial age-of-majority standards that differ from US standards (19 in British Columbia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, and Yukon; 18 elsewhere). The agreement acknowledges this variability by referencing state, province, or territory. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Redfin's platform does not appear to be directed at minors, which reduces COPPA compliance risk. However, the absence of an affirmative age-verification mechanism means compliance relies on user self-declaration, which is a standard but imperfect approach. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should confirm that Redfin's registration and onboarding flows do not collect data from users who indicate they are under 13, and that any such data, if inadvertently collected, is promptly deleted. The FTC's expanded COPPA guidance should be reviewed to confirm the platform's practices remain current.
