Age Verification Policy – VapeGPT.co.uk

Why Age Verification Is Required

Under UK law, it is illegal to sell vaping products, nicotine items or age-restricted accessories to anyone under 18 years old.? Age verification protects minors, prevents misuse, and ensures VapeGPT operates responsibly and ethically in accordance with:

How Our Age Verification Process Works

How Our Age Verification Process Works

1. Automatic Age Verification (Primary Method)

At checkout, our secure third-party age verification system checks the details you provide, such as:

• Full name
• Billing and delivery address
• Date of birth

This process works instantly and does not affect your credit score.

2. Manual Verification (If Required)

If automatic verification is unsuccessful, you may be asked to provide a valid form of ID. Acceptable documents include:

• Passport
• UK Driving Licence
• Government-issued ID card

Once verified, your account will be marked as age-approved, meaning you will not need to repeat verification for future orders.

Delivery Verification Requirements

In line with UK courier regulations, age verification may also occur upon delivery. Your courier may request:

• Valid ID
• Signature from someone over 18

If identification cannot be provided:

• The parcel will not be delivered
• Redelivery or return fees may apply
