This provision allocates legal responsibility for underage user conduct to parents or guardians who authorize Service access. It establishes the operational framework through which the Service permits younger children to access its platform while designating parental accountability for compliance with the Service terms.
Parents and guardians who enable Service access for children under 13 become party to the terms and accept liability for their child's activity on the platform. This mechanism transfers responsibility for monitoring, compliance, and potential violations to the authorizing adult rather than the minor user.
