The provision creates a gatekeeping mechanism that conditions service access on age verification and, for minors, on documented parental authorization. This establishes the contractual foundation for who may enter into the service agreement and creates separate compliance pathways based on user age status.
Users under 13 years old cannot access the service under any circumstance. Users aged 13-17 may access the service only if they obtain and retain parental or guardian consent to the terms. Users 18 and older may access the service directly without additional authorization requirements.
