This provision affects younger users who may be active in sneaker or collectibles markets, as the terms attempt to hold parents or guardians responsible for transactions conducted by minors on the platform.
Minors who use StockX, even with parental permission, create potential liability exposure for their parents or guardians under the terms, as the agreement is only fully binding on adults or those with explicit guardian involvement.

"You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Services. If you are under 18 years of age, you may only use the Services with the involvement of a parent or guardian. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you meet the applicable age requirements or have obtained the required parental consent.— Excerpt from StockX's StockX Terms of Use
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision engages COPPA, which imposes specific consent and data protection requirements for users under 13, and may interact with state-level minor protection statutes for users aged 13 to 17. The agreement's approach of requiring parental involvement rather than prohibiting minor access creates a compliance grey area that legal teams should assess against COPPA's specific parental consent requirements. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision does not specify a technical age verification mechanism, which is a common regulatory concern for platforms engaging in financial transactions. Without active age verification, the representation-based approach may be insufficient under COPPA for younger users and may attract FTC scrutiny. JURISDICTION FLAGS: COPPA applies to users under 13 in the US and requires verifiable parental consent for data collection. EU GDPR sets the age of digital consent at 16 in most member states (with some national variations permitting 13), requiring specific mechanisms for obtaining verifiable parental consent. The UK Children's Code imposes additional design and data protection requirements for platforms likely to be accessed by children. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Platforms that process financial transactions involving minors face heightened regulatory scrutiny. StockX's reliance on user representation without active age verification may not satisfy applicable regulatory requirements, creating potential FTC and State AG exposure. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Teams should assess whether technical age verification mechanisms are deployed at account creation, whether data collected from users later identified as minors is handled consistently with COPPA and GDPR requirements, and whether the platform's access controls are adequate given the financial and contractual nature of transactions.
