ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision establishes a two-tiered age restriction: a hard prohibition on use by children under 13, consistent with COPPA requirements, and a general requirement of majority age or 18 years, whichever is applicable in the user's jurisdiction. The terms do not describe a technical age verification mechanism.
