TruAge Website Terms of Use Agreement

Effective Date: February 12, 2023

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in TruAge Solutions, LLC ("TruAge", "we", "us", or "our"). TruAge provides a secure digital age-verification system that is designed to make the purchase of age- and quantity-restricted products more convenient, private, and secure for people who are of age while keeping these items out of the hand of those who are not eligible to buy them. This Terms of Use Agreement ("Agreement" or "Terms") is applicable to our website, www.mytruage.org, and any other websites or desktop applications that are owned and operated by TruAge ("Site") and on which we have posted our Privacy Policy. The following Terms of Use are a legal contract between you ("you", "your", and "user") and TruAge regarding your use of the Site.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS OF USE CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING, BROWSING, OR USING THE SITE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE FOLLOWING TERMS IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE PRIVACY POLICY [www.mytruage.org/privacypolicy] (COLLECTIVELY, THE "TERMS" OR "AGREEMENT"). IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE.

These Terms apply ONLY to your use of the Site. If you are enrolled in the TruAge Age Verification Program, you will be subject to different terms of use and privacy policies specific to that Program. Similarly, if you are a merchant interested in the Program, you will be subject to different terms of use and privacy policies in order to register to participate.

By accepting these Terms, you represent that you are at least the age of majority in your jurisdiction (i.e., 18 years of age). The TruAge Program is not aimed at, or intended to be used by, anyone under the age of 18.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE TERMS INCLUDE A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, INCLUDING A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, YOU WAIVE YOUR RIGHT TO LITIGATE DISPUTES THROUGH A COURT AND TO HAVE A JUDGE OR JURY DECIDE YOUR CLAIMS.

Description of Site.

TruAge operates the Site to enable users to obtain information about the TruAge Age Verification Program and sign up to receive updates from TruAge.

Privacy Policy.

Please carefully read TruAge's Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms (and which are part of our contract with you) and to which you acknowledge you have read and consent, relating to TruAge's collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information. Among other things, our Privacy Policy explains how we process your personal information when you use our Site.

Modification of Terms.

TruAge reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change, modify, add, remove, or otherwise alter the Terms at any time. We will make reasonable effort to provide notice to you of such modifications, such as by posting a notice on the Site, and such amended terms will be effective against you when we have posted such notice and the effective date. However, changes made for legal reasons will be effective immediately. Accordingly, you should review the Site and these Terms regularly to keep yourself apprised of any future changes. Your use of the Site following any modifications will be deemed to establish your agreement with such new terms and conditions.
