What it is

The agreement states that the Skillshare platform is intended only for users aged 18 or older, and by using the services users represent and warrant that they meet this age requirement.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The stated minimum age of 18 places Skillshare outside the direct scope of COPPA, which applies to children under 13, but creates a contractual representation that users must be legal adults. This provision affects account eligibility and the enforceability of the Terms of Service for minor users.
