Why You Need Age Verification?
At E-liquid Base UK, we strictly comply with the UK and EU legislation regarding the sale of vaping products. Under the current UK legal laws, it is illegal to sell any e-cigarettes, e-liquids, or any nicotine-containing products to individuals under the age of 18.
To ensure that we comply with the rules and regulations, we are legally required to verify the age of all new customers before dispatching the order. This process is to ensure all underage customers and to make sure that the vaping products are only bought by those who are legally allowed to use them.
The following UK bodies enforce this legislation:
-
As of 1st October, 2015, according to the Department of Health and Social Care, it is illegal for adults to purchase tobacco or vape products for anyone under the age of 18.
-
According to Trading Standards, retailers must ensure that age-restricted items are not sold online to underage individuals.
How do We Verify Your Age?
We at E-liquid Base work with 1account, an industry-recognized and GDPR-compliant age verification provider. Their system works independently and checks against trusted sources of data, such as the UK electoral roll, mobile phone records, credit reference data, and the UK birth register.
How to Verify Your Age?
After the completion of the first order with E-liquid Base UK, you will be prompted with a pop-up window on the order confirmation page for the completion of your order. In this process, we require the information, including your full name, billing address (should be the same as your current home address), mobile phone number, and date of birth. The customers need to make sure that the details match the official record, such as, passport, a driver’s license, or the electoral roll.
In case we are unable to verify your age automatically, you will be asked to valid photo ID (passport or driver’s license), along with a selfie holding an ID, and should be sent to info@eliquidbase.co.uk. Be sure to include your order number, so a member of our team will manually review and verify your ID.
Data Safety
Your data is secure with us. The 1account or the age verification process retains a very minimum data that is necessary to verify your age and never stores your documents. We take your privacy seriously, so all the data is protected under the UK GDPR standards. For more information on how your information is handled, please visit our Privacy Policy.
