18+ Age Verification Policy

Effective Date: May 16, 2026

Ladyloving is committed to responsible retailing and the protection of minors. As a specialist boutique for adult pleasure technology and wellness, we strictly enforce a 18+ age requirement for all visitors and customers.

1. Age Restriction

1.1 Legal Requirement: You must be at least 18 years of age to access this website, subscribe to our newsletter, or purchase any products from Ladyloving.co.uk.

1.2 Self-Declaration: By entering this site and clicking “I am 18 or older” on our age-gate, you are legally declaring that you meet the minimum age requirement.

2. Age Verification Process (UK Requirements)

To comply with UK law regarding the sale of age-restricted goods, we employ a multi-stage verification process:

2.1 Soft-Gate: A mandatory age-gate overlay appears upon your first visit to the site.

2.2 Electronic Verification: At checkout, we use industry-standard electronic age verification services. This may include:

• Credit Card Verification: Our payment processors verify that the cardholder is of legal age.

• Third-Party Databases: We may check your details against the Electoral Roll or other verified databases to confirm your age without impacting your credit score.

2.3 Manual Verification: In instances where electronic verification is inconclusive, we reserve the right to request a redacted copy of a valid government-issued ID (Passport or Driving Licence). Failure to provide this will result in the immediate cancellation of your order.

3. Delivery Requirements

3.1 18+ Signature: All orders containing adult goods may be sent via a “Signed For” service where the carrier is instructed to verify that the recipient appears to be over the age of 18 (Challenge 25 policy).

3.2 ID at Door: If the courier is in doubt, they may request to see a valid form of ID before releasing the parcel.

4. Marketing & Content

4.1 Email Subscription: Users must opt-in to our newsletter and confirm their age during the signup process.

4.2 Content Warnings: We ensure that all adult-oriented imagery and descriptions are presented in a professional, wellness-focused context, but we maintain strict access control to prevent exposure to minors.

5. False Representation

5.1 Providing false information regarding your age is a breach of our Terms & Conditions and may be considered a fraudulent act.

5.2 Ladyloving reserves the right to report suspected attempts by minors to purchase age-restricted goods to the relevant authorities or parents/guardians where applicable.

6. Parental Controls

We encourage parents to use filtering software to prevent minors from accessing age-restricted content. Programs such as Net Nanny, CyberPatrol, or built-in browser parental controls are recommended.

7. Compliance

This policy is designed to align with:

• The UK Online Safety Act.

• The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) guidelines for age-restricted digital content.

• Trading Standards requirements for age-restricted sales.
